It's Rick back with you again today to share three cards using the Tiny Winters Stamp Set.  In the coordinating video I also talk about why these three card layouts work every time no matter what stamp set you use for you projects.   Card 1 Frosty Kisses:  For my first card I used stamped out the little snow girl and colored her with my copic markers.  I then used a strip layout design to draw interest to the focal image with is my little snow girl from the Tiny Winters Stamp Set.   The adorable snow girl image is framed with...

Hello crafty friends; it's Rick back with you again today to share another project with you from the January release.  Today I have a fun, unexpected shaped card to share with you that's perfect for Valentine's Day or any occasion that you want to create a fun card for.

Good morning crafty friends; it's Rick here with you today to share a little inspiration using the newly released Winter Mouse Stamp Set.  I created a clean and layered card design to share with you to help add a little inspiration for your holiday crafting. I stamped and colored the little mouse with his snowman in the wheelbarrow and then did a little fussy cutting (or cussy cutting) depending on your view on that LOL. I then took and created the perfect little winter background for him that allows for plenty of white space and makes the main star of the...
