Hello and welcome! Seeka here and today I'm sharing a best wishes, and perhaps bon voyage, card featuring the Looking Glass Canyon Lands Dies from the Summer Catalog. I started off by using the Alignment Tool Stencil to position and temporarily tape each of the three dies in the set, with the same relative placement, over three 4.25" x 5.5" panels of white cardstock. I...

Hello there, Michelle here and today I have a card to share with you using the Succulent Bouquet stamp set. I thought about going traditional with my colours but then I thought, what if I went in a completely different direction and create a rainbow coloured succulent! Here is the video showing how I made the card: If you are having trouble viewing this video,...

Hello and welcome! Seeka here and today I'm sharing a shaker card featuring the Color Layering Royal Angelfish from the new Summer Catalog. I love how easily this dimensional little fish comes together! I started off by stamping the outline layers of the fish and three coral pieces in Intens-ified Black Ink onto Dove White cardstock. Next, I stamped the additional layers of the fish,...

Have you tried any of the new Looking Glass Die sets yet? Looking Glass Dies are designed to build small, layered scenes by cutting windows and backgrounds from cardstock.

This Dutch inspired die set...

When I was in high school, I had an outfit that was SO 80s-tastic that I'd wear it today if I still had it! For all you young peeps - the clothing store to end all clothing stores in the 80s was Benetton, and we had one in our tiny mall. I would save up the money I made working at McDonald's for $3/hour and...

Hello and welcome! Seeka here and today I'm sharing two cards featuring the Barrel Waves HeroScape stamp set and coordinating dies (also available as a combo). With just a simple swap of colors, it's easy to change up this fun scene to fit any mood or time of day! For my first card, a daytime scene, I began by placing the large wave layer stamp...

Hey there friends! Daniel, here, with a birthday card any guy would enjoy. It features the new Looking Glass Canyon Lands Dies in a tri-fold setup. Watching Jennifer McGuire's video on using these Looking Glass line of dies inspired me to move beyond my basic single fold card to try a more complex set up. It looks hard but proved quite easy to accomplish. Supplies...
