Spectacular Father's Day Card

Hi there, Kalyn here! Hope you're enjoying your weekend! There are only 2 more weeks until Father's Day, so I wanted to share another card idea with you! This one uses the Incognito set, Glasses dies, Design Motifs set and a Bookmark die.

Take a look at the video below to watch how it all came together:

I hope you liked this card and that it gives you an idea for Father's Day! Thanks for stopping by!

Adorkable Valentine

Hi, it's Emily here, and today I'm sharing a fun Valentine's card featuring an adorkable couple! ;) I used stamps from the Incognito and Sunny Side Up stamp sets, as well as dies from the Glasses, Roses and Tiny Hearts die collections.



The card is centred around the two characters which were brought to life using the Glasses Dies. I wanted the personality of the guy to coordinate with his sentiment so I used vellum to "fog up" the glasses. Then I placed a stack of Tiny Hearts Dies in each lens to express his love for the lady.

The main reason why I wanted to make this card was that I really wanted to make a fascinator with the Roses Dies. Eeek! I created the fancy hat with a layered tulle veil and I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.

In order to maintain a balance between the left and right sides of the card, I selectively die cut part of the vellum Word Bubble Die to make it smaller and, essentially, lighter than the patterned paper one since the fascinator visually makes the right side of the card heavier.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Season's Givings Blog Hop + Giveaways!!!

Hi, it's Emily here, and this project was shared on my blog as part of the third annual Season's Givings Blog Hop. Please visit my blog for giveaway details. Yes, there's a Paper Smooches stamp set in there! My card features the following stamp sets and dies from Paper Smooches - Lots of Love, Incognito, Glasses, Tiny Hearts and Stitched. The video will show you how this card came together! :)



I created a face around the main sentiment and embellished it with glasses and hearts. The eyes were built up with four different stamps and I applied glossy accents to the lips.

I grounded everything using die cut stitching. The patterned papers are from Amy Tangerine's Stitched 6x6 paper pad and the glitter vellum is from Cosmo Cricket's Vellumptuous collection.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Wishing you and your loved ones the very best for the New Year!! 

Fantaschtic New Year with Incognito

Hi, it's Emily here! Now that we're winding down from Christmas festivities, it's time to think about New Year's projects. I made this with late holiday cards in mind.  It's the perfect transition from Christmas to New Year's since I tend to procrastinate a little too much and not get my holiday cards in the mail on time. ;)



I created a custom sentiment using words from both Incognito and Merry Motifs. I love the boldness and shine of the heat embossed glasses and moustache against the kraft base.

The main image is embellished with a Santa hat from Merry Motifs(Motif Icons) and mittens from Freezy Fellas (Fellas Icons). The martini is from Free Spirits Icons and the stars on the white frame are from All Yule Need.

I hope this jumpstarts your creative spark for the New Year. Thanks so much for stopping by!
