3 cards, 1 stamp set

 I thought it would be fun to challenge myself to feature one stamp set, three different ways:



These are the products that I'm featuring today:
  • Waffle Flower - Sweet Strawberry | Combo stamp + die
  • Lawn Fawn - Stripes 'n Sprinkles | 6x6
  • Spellbinders - Essential Stylish Ovals | dies
  • Lawn Fawn - How You Bean - Strawberries Add On | stamp
  • Pretty Pink Posh - Friend Shadow  | die
  • Spellbinders - Emerald Cut Labels and Tag | die
  • Pretty Pink Posh - Sweet Chocolates | stamp + dies
  • Waffle Flower - Inside/Outside Scalloped Circle | die
  • Lawn Fawn - Scripty Birthday | lawn cut
Let me break them down for you.  I wanted them to be birthday cards because I never seem to have enough of them in my stash.


This is the one that doesn't specifically have a birthday sentiment but I could easily add a panel to the interior with a birthday greeting.  This one features:
  • Waffle Flower - Sweet Strawberry | Combo stamp + die
  • Lawn Fawn - Stripes 'n Sprinkles | 6x6
  • Spellbinders - Essential Stylish Ovals | dies
  • Lawn Fawn - How You Bean - Strawberries Add On | stamp
  • Pretty Pink Posh - Shadow Friend | die
I wanted to have at least one design that had glitter cardstock on it. I'm a big fan of the Pretty Pink Posh Shadow dies.  


I think this is my favorite from the trio.  I love the contrast of the red and yellow.
  • Waffle Flower - Sweet Strawberry | Combo stamp + die
  • Lawn Fawn - Stripes 'n Sprinkles | 6x6
  • Pretty Pink Posh - Sweet Chocolates | stamp + dies
  • Lawn Fawn - How You Bean - Strawberries Add On | stamp
  • Spellbinders - Emerald Cut Labels and Tag | die
I don't use those Emerald Cut Label and Tag dies enough.


I love the scallops and stitches along with the pops of black.
  • Waffle Flower - Sweet Strawberry | Combo stamp + die
  • Lawn Fawn - Stripes 'n Sprinkles | 6x6
  • Lawn Fawn - How You Bean - Strawberries Add On | stamp
  • Waffle Flower - Inside/Outside Scalloped Circle | die
  • Lawn Fawn - Scripty Birthday | lawn cut
I hope to keep this as an ongoing feature.  It'll be a great way to build up my birthday stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

You Got This with a Flower Bouquet - Extending Your Holiday Products

Hi friends! It's Amanda from Twiddler's Nook for the weekly dose of Mix it up Monday. I'm officially out of the holiday crafting for a little bit. But sometimes we didn't get to play with our holiday goodies enough and it's fun to find ways to use them all year long. Today I'm showing an idea to use that sweet Pretty Pink Posh fox past Valentine's Day!

Pretty Pink Posh Fox Holder Die

I cut all the pieces for the fox and ink blended them for a little depth and dimension, then used liquid glue to adhere it all together. Next, I pulled out the Spellbinders Little Blooms set and started cutting out flowers and leaves.

I used liquid glue to assemble the flowers and then also to add them into the fox's paws. Then I set the fox aside and used the Pretty Pink Posh Happy Days Stencil on a piece of pink cardstock. After inking it up, I trimmed 1/2" off the bottom and popped it up on a white card base with foam tape. Next I added a strip of yellow cardstock to the bottom.

I cut a Spellbinders Make a Wish Arch from vellum and started assembling the rest together with foam squares and tape runner. I like to use dry adhesive whenever possible with vellum because liquid glue makes it warp. It doesn't like the moisture.

Last I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Mama Elephant Way to Go, the used the coordinating die to cut it out before popping it up with foam strips.

For finishing touches today, I added little eyelashes to my fox's eyes and glossy accents to her nose and eyes. 

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

Just for You

Happy Tuesday! This week is Galentine's Day on February 13th and Valentine's Day on February 14th. I teamed up some fun products today:


Pretty Pink Posh Fringe Heart and Concord and 9th Mushroom Medly

Today's project combines:

  • Pretty Pink Posh - Fringe Heart | die
  • Pretty Pink Posh - Love Script | die
  • Concord & 9th - Mushroom Medley | bundle
I love that fringe heart and can see it used year round rather than just for Valentine's Day.

I recently asked friends over on instagram what some of their go-to color combos were.  I was reminded of kraft + red.  I threw in some different shades of blue for a pop!

Be Mine Bears

Hey friends! It's Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. Happy to be here with another Mix-it-Up Monday for the Doodlebugs blog. I'm squeezing in one more bit of Valentine inspiration before the big day is here. I really love Valentine crafting of all sorts so it's hard for me to be done right up until the day.

Mama Elephant My Favorite Person Pretty Pink Posh Fringe Heart

Today I played with the Pretty Pink Posh fringe heart dies. I started with white and graduated up to red on my layers. After gluing them today, I fluffed the fringe a bit and splattered the heart with gold watercolor.

Then I stamped and colored some Mama Elephant cuties from the set My Favorite Person. After die cutting them I stamped and heat embossed mini sentiments on each from the set in gold. Next, I ink blended the Pretty Pink Posh Deco Leaves stencil in red on a pink cardstock panel.

It seemed very stark so I went around the edges with the same blending brush after removing the stencil and also splattered it would a little water. I used liquid glue to adhere this panel and the fringe heart to a card base. Then I added the bears with foam squares.

Last I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Pretty Pink Posh Valentine Greetings and used the coordinating die to cut it out. I popped it up on the fringe heart with foam strips. For finishing touches I did add tiny glossy accents dots to the bear noses.
