Rubber Thunder

I borrowed this die from a friend and it layers to create stunning floral cards.  Greetings are by Concord and 9th.  

I purchased a Taylored Expressions Grab Bag this fall.  I might not do it again since I now have quite a bit of TE product, but I didn't have anything in the bag. This modern eucalyptus stencil and die were in there- and matching foil its still available.  All products are by Taylored Expressions.  

Let's Stamp Together is an every other month stamp kit and class from Scrapbook and Cards Today.  This month's class and kit were from LDRS.  The beautiful florals have a coordinating stencil. This is the type of floral to stamp and emboss a bunch to have on hand ready to go. It has a matching die set as well. These cards are so beautiful in person!  

Awesome 3D cards and fancy folds from the Crop and Create Fall 2024 class.  Woodland animals are now available on the scrapbook.com site.  I love this hologram paper pad they included. What a bonus!!  

Crop and Create 2024:  Concord and 9th card class taught by Cathy Zielske.  Cathy is known for gorgeous blends and simple cards.  This fun kit by C9 has so many great pieces- layered stencils, dies, and that perfect sized oval.  

 The Beautiful Day Stamp and Die set (now available at Gina K Designs ) was part of Crop and Create 2024.  Sometimes the companies release the product later and sometimes they don't.  I love this class and the cards I made. Kissing Technique

This Picket Fences Crop and Create Delivered 2024 really surprised me.  It came with printed and colored images and backgrounds, as well as the stamps and dies, and three pots of sparkly paste!  I did my own thing for the cards, but tried all the mixed media backgrounds.  Very fun.  The rainbow card below includes a rainbow die and greeting from Taylored Expressions, along with the Freckled Friend I colored with OLO markers.  She's my new fave!  

For the second year in a row, Stamps of Life came to Crop and Create Delivered 2024 with a fun fold card die.  This stand up card is cute, and I love how Crop and Create offers classes and kits in all seasons, not just holiday.  

LDRS is a new company to me, thanks to Crop and Create Delivered.  These three embossing folder techniques were fun to do.  Put ink directly on the embossing folder for this watercolor look, Ink blend a rainbow panel, then emboss.  Lightly rub ink pad or cube over the raised area for this stunning card. The only watercolors I had on hand were by Gambi Tamsii and they are shimmery.  This card was embossed on white cardstock, watercolored, then I used a black OLO marker to color in the background.  It looks like velvet!  

These three adorable holiday cards are definitely outside my usual stamping style. I loved making them with the Honey Bee Stamps class and kit from Crop and Create Delivered Fall 2024.  The details for the cabinet are so cool- wouldn't it be neat decorated for different holidays?
