elease from purple onion designs illustrated by pei chilliezgraphy i m a big fan of pei s work and the bunnies bloom collection includes four images and two sentiments i m sharing a happy easter card today we re getting close to easter and this illustration is adorable i colored the image with copics on a piece of x press it blending card and nestled one of the sentiments in the little nook between the bunny and the egg i die cut the panel using the largest die in the s titched rectangles stax 1 set from my favorite things i adhered the panel directly onto a card base i created from caribbean sea prestige cardstock from my favorite things and finished off the card with a few dew drops from concord 9th simple yet sweet right lots of pastels for this one hipp hipp hurra rachelle anne miller march 11 2026 march 10 2026 elin leave a comment hi crafty friends i m sharing a fun birthday card today featuring the animal number six owls digital stamp from rachelle anne miller the image is also included in a full set of animal numbers from 1 to 10 which you can find here i printed the image onto a piece of x press it blending card adding a digital watercolor background behind the image before printing i colored the image with copics and opted for a warm yellow for the actual number and the book an analogous color palette always works well i die cut the panel using the postage stamps infinity die set from hero arts then stamped the sentiments from the bursdagsbillett stamp set from by cino hipp hipp hurra and the a06 stamp set from norsk stempelblad as det er din dag i dag using clover ink from concord 9th i also used second generation stamping of a couple of the images from the cs0879 stamp set from marianne design in the corners of my large postage stamp i mounted my postage panel onto a card base i created from summer sunrise cardstock from papertrey ink then die cut and mounted the hipp hipp hurra sentiment using the mstn say anything die set from my favorite things before finishing off the card with clover and honeycomb enamel dots from concord 9th as well as a dot of a black sakura glaze pen to each eye for a little bit of shine and dimension simple color palette for this one celebrate papiria march 8 2026 march 6 2026 elin leave a comment hi crafty friends today i m stretching my supplies today using a christmas die set for a non holiday card when we invest in die sets we want to get a lot of use out of them right i ve used the die set on christmas cards in the past here here and here but this time i felt like doing something else we ve officially survived winter and reached spring we can certainly make springtime floral cards instead of holiday floral cards right i started by choosing a color palette this time opting for one that concord 9th put together they have lots of color resources on their website and even a color club this is the spring meadow palette ballet slipper briar rose starfruit sea glass and juniper i die cut the pieces and ink blended on top with the same color ink to create additional interest on the die cuts i actually used briar rose on the ballet slipper for a cohesive look on the flower but the rest of the die cuts are inked with the same color ink as the cardstock color i love that the c9 ink colors match the cardstock colors so well i used the triangle piercing die from c9 to cut into the card base i then used sulky metallic sewing thread in color 7003 and a size 26 tapestry needle for my stitching i was initially planning on having the floral swag span the width of the card and adhering it directly to the stitched background with a sentiment below but somehow it evolved into something else i was just along for the ride i trimmed a piece of sea glass cardstock to cover the bottom two rows of rectangles and adhered this to the card base planning on adhering the flower where the panel ends then i found an already die cut frame i realize now that this is the classic rectangle frames die set from my favorite things in my stash cut from champagne cardstock from c9 which was the perfect size to add to the card i adhered the juniper die cuts directly to the line that separates the sea glass from the card base then mounted the sea glass ones on top before finishing off with the flower on another layer of foam squares i die cut the word celebrate from champagne cardstock from c9 using the sweet sentiments die set from altenew i die cut the shadow from white and mounted it on foam squares to make it float across the frame i usually stack die cut words but this gives a different look and worked better for this card i finished very simply with a few champagne glitter drops from pinkfresh studio happy birthday papiria february 19 2026 february 19 2026 elin leave a comment hi crafty friends today i m sharing a colorful birthday card that i created for papiria i started by stamping the word happy from the happy birthday words stamp set from kristina werner onto five different colors of cardstock from concord 9th i used lakefront parsley buttercup sorbet and carnation i heat embossed them all with white embossing powder from ranger and stacked the letters for dimension choosing a different color on top for each this gives a bit of a rainbow look from the side i cut a white panel to 3 1 2 x 4 7 8 and used the balloon party stencil from my favorite things to add ink blended balloons in the background i used the same ink colors as my cardstock colors for the letters and added a gradient on each of the balloons concentrating the color on the base of the balloon then fading as you go up the balloon i adhered my letters staggered onto the stenciled background i stamped and white heat embossed the word birthday from the all the birthdays stamp set from concord 9th onto a scrap of black cardstock i added a few extra layers of cardstock behind it before adhering it near the bottom of the pink y i cut slivers of the same colors of cardstock to create some interest on the card base i like the beveled edge you get from die cutting as apposed to using a trimmer which is why i used one of the frames in the a2 thin frames die set from kristina werner for this i put a scrap of each color cardstock along the sides of the die for a bit of selective die cutting it was then super easy to butt the strips up against each other i adhered the strips horizontally across the card base added foam tape to my panel and adhered it in the center of the card have a holly jolly christmas mo s digital pencil january 28 2026 january 27 2026 elin leave a comment hi crafty friends is it too early to think about christmas cards i know there are lots of people who don t like creating holiday cards this time of year and i totally get it i myself am an all year christmas card maker my problem for the past couple of years hasn t been creating the cards but getting them in the mail i ll try to be better this year we could all use the extra joy that fun mail brings right if i want to send cards i also need to create some and this peeking reindeer from mo manning was so cute i couldn t resist it was the november 2025 freebie over on her patreon i created a tri fold card this time with the reindeer peeking out from one of the folds i couldn t resist a red rudolph nose even if that makes my card inaccurate in its reindeer portrayal only female reindeer have antlers in the winter so this is technically a female reindeer it s not like a red nosed reindeer is all that believable to begin with so i guess it doesn t really matter it s just a fun little tidbit for the blue background i used powder cardstock from concord 9th i used the stitched snowflake backdrop die from lawn fawn to create some interest in the background i die cut the a sentiment from the jolly holiday greetings die set from concord 9th using cranberry cardstock also from c9 i stacked three layers stamped part of a sentiment have a from the christmas wishes stamp set from my favorite things and the word christmas from the scripty xmas stamp set from mama elephant both in cranberry ink i die cut the have a with the coordinating die and fussy cut around the christmas there s no coordinating die for this set and put the three parts together to form a complete sentiment i added a strip of champagne cardstock from c9 to the edge where rudolph not really rudolph is peeking out to emphasize the edge of the panel that opens i scattered a few champagne glitter drops from pinkfresh studio for a little bit of embellishment when you lift the flap with rudolph not rudolph you re left with a regular side folding card i ve hidden magnets so rudolph not rudolph keeps the flap closed until it s time to open the card this one has a super simple color combo there s was very little coloring to do on rudolph not rudolph turnabout fun papiria january 21 2026 january 20 2026 elin 1 comment hi crafty friends i actually have three cards to share today all featuring the wild meadow turnabout bundle from concord 9th this set is a lot of fun to play with and there are sooo many color combos to choose from first up is this one i chose an analogous color combo of powder blueberry and oceanside inks from c9 and a pop of lemongrass for a somewhat contrasting color as my fourth i cut the stamped panel in two and then cut diagonal lines on each of my two pieces i covered a card base with oceanside cardstock and adhered my panel pieces on top leaving a gap between them so the oceanside cardstock would show through i stamped a sentiment from the serene blooms stamp set from altenew using obsidian ink from altenew and die cut it using the coordinating die i stacked another three die cuts behind the sentiment for some dimension and adhered my stack on top of the opening between the two largest pieces of the stamped background before finishing off with enamel dots from c9 in the same colors that i used for the stamping my second card features the same technique of cutting up the finished piece into smaller bits here i used sprout sunflower sorbet and harbor inks which makes for a way more colorful background it s basically a green a yellow a red and a blue this time i only cut horizontally and vertically and i added harbor cardstock behind the pieces the openings are also a little bit wider on this one by cutting the panel apart instead of using it as a whole piece you can rearrange the pieces to make the flowers appear in the center of the card instead of as a frame around a ton of white space in the center which is what this turnabout stamp actually creates i used the waterbrush hello die from altenew to create my sentiment for this card i stacked three black die cuts for a bit of dimension and stamped and white heat embossed the sub sentiment from the serene blooms stamp set from altenew i ve just replaced my versamark pad so the letters are a bit thicker than i d like but i really did need a new pad i finished off with a few dew drops from c9 there was a lot going on with the background already and the dew drops are a bit more subtle the final card is very different for this one i had two full panels that i d stamped with the northern shore bundle of fresh dye inks from altenew polar bear icy water winter lake and arctic mountain i used the hexagon die in the wild meadow die set from c9 to cut as many hexagons as i could from the two panels and mounted them on foam tape to a piece of blue beyond cardstock from my favorite things i then chopped off a bunch on all four sides for a nice border and adhered it to a card base i created from the same color the die cut sentiment is from the just picked die set from c9 i die cut two layers from blue cardstock and the top layer from champagne cardstock from c9 adhered my sentiment in the center of one of the hexagons and decided to skip embellishments for this card there s a lot going on already with all the hexagons and dimension i felt like the card really didn t need more it s christmas time purple onion designs november 30 2025 november 30 2025 elin leave a comment hi crafty friends it s the first sunday of advent and i have a fun gift tag to share today featuring the adorable baking fun image from purple onion designs illustrated by pei i m such a big fan of her illustrations i did a lot of baking last year for christmas so many different types of christmas cookies and sweets this year i haven t even started yet i have a few favorites i might end up making i haven t decided yet anyway back to the gift tag i colored up the cute little mouse with copics adding a plaid pattern to the apron using a zig watercolor brush marker no 98 pale dawn gray before fussy cutting the image leaving a white border i used the gift pocket tag die set from mama elephant to die cut from patterned paper from the christmas nostalgia collection from maja design to create my tag i mounted the smaller piece with foam squares and did the same with the cute little mouse i stamped a sentiment from the holiday blurbs i stamp set from purple onion designs using amarena cherry ink from my favorite things fussy cut leaving a white border and mounted it on top of my image doubling up on the foam squares on the left half i tucked a few felt snowflakes from kort godt under my element added a bit of black glaze pen to the eyes and tied ribbon and twine at the top of the tag to finish i die cut the tag a second time from white cardstock and did quite a bit of stamping on it i used second generation stamping of an old sheet music stamp from magnolia using powder ink from concord 9th i wanted it to be very soft the sheet music is actually for silent night making it extra christmas y not that you can really tell i used first and second generation stamping of a branch from a mathia design stamp set using eucalyptus ink from concord 9th to add a little something to the corners i stamped a postmark stamp from ladybug friends as well as a to from stamp from norsk stempelblad as using amarena cherry ink from my favorite things i don t think ladybug friends is in business anymore neither is norsk stempelblad but i love their stamps and can t bring myself to stop using them i didn t use too many colors on this one christening mo s digital pencil november 26 2025 november 26 2025 elin leave a comment hi crafty friends today i m sharing a quick christening card with mo manning s christening image i ve lost track of how many times i ve used this particular image but it s so versatile this image is only available in her old shop until the end of the year so if you want it don t wait too long to get it i colored the image and die cut it using one of the circle dies in the stitched circle stax die set from my favorite things i also die cut circles from grey cardstock and patterned paper from the denim friends collection from maja design using the nesting circles die set from lifestyle crafts the shape of the card is created with the nesting frames 8 die set from lifestyle crafts i popped some pieces up using foam tape die cut the let...
