Grungy Gears & Textures – Card 3

Posted on January 24, 2026 by sharon

On my Facebook live recently I wanted to include the dies from the Gears & Textures Bundle and so I created these Grungy Gears & Textures cards. I had so much fun creating these cards. The second card I’m sharing was just created on the fly without any real idea in mind except to use the die cuts I had pre-prepared.

How I created the card

I pulled out my blending brushes, some Nature Walk designer series paper and got to work on creating the card below. Roughing up the edges of the DSP and adding some ink. Sometimes I do things a bit backwards and I certainly did that on this card and glued the DSP onto the left side of the vanilla card before I started stamping. I started stamping the images and didn’t worry if it went over the dsp as well. I just kept going. Adding on the die cuts and also stamping the sentiment onto another piece of DSP and roughing that up as well plus of course adding some ink.

Once I finished stamping the background, adding the die cuts, I added some linen thread and then the sentiment with dimensionals to pop them up. The Secret Sea card base I added some ink around the edges of it and then glued the card front onto the card base. Stamping a piece of vanilla card for the insert and then I was done.

Below is the video when I was creating these cards. This is the extended version. You can hop over to my youtube channel to see the shortened sped up version if you want.

Spotlight on Nature Bundle

Posted on October 14, 2024 by sharon

At the recent Stamp Camp by Marelle, there were 10 shoeboxes to do if we chose to. I completed all 10 boxes and here is one using the Spotlight on Nature stamp set and coordinating dies.

We used the thoughtful Designs specialty Designer Series Paper. I love this paper and there are so many different colour options if you use this paper. We coloured in the flowers and butterfly using blends. And then added some pearls to the card.

January Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #38

Posted on January 14, 2022 by sharon

Welcome to our January Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #38. Have you joined me from Elizabeth’s Blog or are you starting right here? Either way, welcome.

This months Blog Hop is an “Anything Goes” challenge. Which, in and of itself, is fairly easy until you look at ALL the products we have and I need to narrow them all down and choose only a few products.

I decided to go with some more product from the January to June Mini Catalogue that has only been out for a bit over a week The “In the Moment” set is absolutely gorgeous and I was so happy to see it in my goodie bag for our Demonstrator OnStage event in November last year. Can you believe that this is the first time I’m inking it up? Neither can I but here you go. In the end I created a couple of frames on each of the cards. I didn’t like the layering effect with the image sitting on top of mat so I created the frame effect instead and cut out a window on the vanilla layer, then a smaller window on the pool party layer and then glued the image underneath. Creating the mat for the frame felt like it lifted the images more.

My Cards

Here are both cards using the In The Moment Stamp Set.

I’ve created a quick little video showing how I coloured in the images. I don’t show the full creative process as it changed from what I had intended to what you see above. Do you find that you change up your designs mid way through?
