Samantha‘s Dies Only inspiration is so fun and whimsical! She cut all but the Henry’s ABCs letters using white cardstock, then she used Distress inks to give them bright, happy color!


She created a colorful rainbow using the Rainbow Lawn Cuts set. Then she gave the rainbow cute personality with a smiley face from I Scream You Scream and arms and legs with Mr. Sun!


For the background, she used Stitched Ripple Backdrop with Stitched Cloud Frames layered on top. And finally, she added the greeting with Henry’s ABCs.

Sky: Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers, Salvaged Patina

Samantha is back with another super cute and creative card to inspire you! These adorable leaves are going through some Autumn changes that are pretty awesome! Remember this is the second week of three for the Awesome Autumn challenge.


Sam used our Stitched Leaves dies for this adorable line up! She inked the leaves with Distress Oxide ink in rainbow hues then she added smiles from I Scream, You Scream, backing the leaves with Black Licorice cardstock. She also cut out arms and legs from Mr. Sun to finish the happy little leaf people!


She used Henry’s ABCs to create the greeting! Try to not hum the song in your head!


And then she created the background on a large slimline panel, stenciling Birch Trees with Distress Ink in Lost Shadow and Iced Spruce before assembling this whimsical design!

Thank you so much for sharing this absolutely charming inspiration with us, Samantha!

Hi everyone, it’s Samantha! My card depicts a sunny day poolside! Because, let’s face it, in South Carolina, in the summer, you HAVE to be doing something by the water if you’re outside! It’s SO hot here!
We spend lots of our summer days cooling off at the pool, and I thought this would be the perfect card to showcase a fun summer day here!


I stamped the images from Pool Party and My Rainbow and then colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Once everything was dry, I added some details with a white gel pen, then die cut them out with their coordinating dies!


I die cut out the pool with the Stitched Pond set, and then ran it through my die cutting machine with the Stitched Ripple Backdrop, to give it some texture! I also used my craft knife to cut along one of those perforated ripples to make it look like the unicorn was swimming!

I used the Brick Stencil and some Lost Shadow Distress Oxide Ink to create the soft tile area surrounding the pool! The pool itself was ink blended with Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina.


Lastly, I die cut the letters using Henry’s ABCs from some white cardstock. And then I used the Distress Oxide Inks in Fossilized Amber, Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade to add a bright and sunshine-y sentiment!

Thank you so much for inspiring us today, Samantha! Your card is so full of sunshine and fun!
