Hello Hello! I'm sharing a quick card today that would be perfect for any occasion.
Hey friends! This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. Is anyone else just searching for all the sunshine they can get? I really feel like I am, which is seeping into the craft room. I'm so excited and happy for all of these summer themed releases starting to come out.
I'm back with my card 2 of 2 from last week. What does that mean? I used one background panel for two different cards. Here's this week's version:
Hey friends! It's Amanda from Twiddler's Nook with another Mix it up Monday. You can never have too many birthday balloons. Am I right?!? Well, I don't think so. So when I had the chance to ink up the adorable Mama Elephant It's Poppin, I had to pair it with my favorite Spellbinders Floating Balloons 3D embossing folder. It's a match made in heaven.
Last week I shared some tips for creating multiple quick and easy cards. Today I'm sharing the second card from that post. If you missed it, be sure to head over for a look. I explain my process for quickly producing a bundle of cards.
Here's the second card.
Here are all three colors.
For this card I used the larger frame from Mama Elephant's Flirty Scallop Frame die set and I changed up the stencil for the background. This time I used the Deco Leaves stencil.
Below are the cards I shared in last week's post. Be sure to head over for all the details.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you were inspired.

I've decided to design another card duo based on one background panel. Here's the first card:
Hey friends! This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. Today I'm playing with reverse embossed backgrounds today and LOVING the outcome! It's simple to do but looks complex which makes it all that much cooler!
Today I'm sharing my process for making a BUNCH of floral cards quickly.
To start, I grabbed the Beautiful Blooms stamp set from Pinkfresh Studio. This set has three floral images on one stamp set. I used the bottom [lower set] to stamp several sets of images. This is a huge time saver as each stamp creates three images instead of one. The coordinating die works the same. It's one die that will cut all three images in one pass through my die cut machine. Another big time saver.To color the images I used the coordinating stencil. The stencil is designed to line up with all three images. So again, you save time inking / coloring all three images on each layer. Make sure you don't die cut the images until after you color them. I used the same colors for each set [this was quicker] and changed the color when I moved on to the next set of stamped images. When I was finished I had four images of each flower, all in a different color. Below are three of the colors.
I stenciled a background for each card matching the color of the floral images. The frame is cut from the Flirty Scallop Frame from mama Elephant. When I cut the die, I cut both the small and the larger frame. This saved time and I used the larger frames with the bell shaped flowers. I'll share that card next week.
Thanks so much for stopping by the blog. I hope you'll stop by next week to see the additional cards I created.

I've been really enjoying stenciling lately. I've been challenging myself to use different color combos and having fun. Today is part two of two based one one A2 stenciled panel. Here's how I was inspired today:
Welcome to a fresh new week everyone! This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook finding new looks for all the fun window cover plates out there. I love using them for added interest and ways to ground images but sometimes that plain background in the windows is boring. Today I played with an idea that you could definitely grow on to add texture and interest to those spaces.
Today I'm sharing some floral cards with one of my favorite bird dies from Spellbinders. The Little Chickadee [and Sweet Birdie die] are the perfect size for so many cards and they are budget friendly too! They are both definitely favorites of mine.
I paired the cute little bird with some flowers I die cut from the Freshly Picked Anemone die from Spellbinders. I added this to my die collection a while back and haven't had a chance to use it.
For a sentiment I used the sweet, little banners from Mama Elephant's Banner Greetings die. It's another favorite of mine and I find myself reaching for it often.
I love how quickly these cards came together.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope I've inspired you to create something today.
