Handmade Paper Hugs

  Hey SNS friends! Amy whipped up some postage pal cuties to fit into all your postage dies. Cool, right!? For this card I used the Postage Pals Landscape sets (yes, there's also a Portrait set) and a couple of the stamps from the Year Round Post Marks set (this set covers holidays, seasons and birthdays so check it out!). I added a bunch of the images to my postage panel (Waffle Flower A7 die) and added the cat from the SN Gals Libby and Laura set as well as a butterfly from the Little Moments set. Thanks for stopping by! Stay Crafty! Tina *ad, design team post

  Guess what! The day of the first Sweet November Stamps release of 2025 has finally arrived! This release offers so many wonderful Stamps, so if you love reading, critters, fairies, flowers and/or postage card layouts you'll want to check it out! For my first inspirational card I used the adorable Spill the Tea set. This time around the adorable mice are having tea rather than coffee, and I went with a green lemon tea and decided to adorn the tea pot with some of the images from last years Bountiful Blessings: Squeeze the day. I made a rocking card and added shaker bits from the new Tea Time mix sequins. Don't forget to join our Insta hop where YOU could win the entire release! Thanks for stopping by! Happy crafting!

  I'm nuts about you! Sam went down the tree to pick a flower for Shelly, and she is completely smittened. Just look at her rosy cheeks, swirling her skirt and tossing those ears 🤭 Sam & Shelly were released in Nathalie's  @wonderingwabbit  Ko-Fi shop in the fall but I knew I had to make a love card sometime around Valentine's. After all the winter scenes, making this green spectacle made me so happy 💚 *Ad, design team post

  Hey everyone! I don't celebrate Valentine's but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate a tiny heart and paper hug. Swipe to see the finished cards. I found the adorable Animal Valentine's collection in the @ramstamps shop and I couldn't decide on which to use, so I colored them all up and added them onto bookmarks cut from some of the wonderful digital papers in the shop. I then figured they'd make a wonderful set of donation cards for the Danish operation write home and so i prepared 4 card panels with some ink and a couple of stencils and the wrapped a piece of vellum around the panel to hold the bookmarks. Sentiment means "You are the best chapter of my life". I used: RAM Stamps Animal Valentine's Bear, Cat, Giraffe and Koala RAM Stamps paper packs: Easter fun, Love bugs and Aussie Christmas  Averyelle bookmark die Stencils from #mftstamps #simonsaysstamp #newtonsnook Distress ink Copic markers **ad for @ramstamps  Thanks so much for stoppin...

Hey Rammy's! Today I'm sharing this adorable "Storytime" forest scene of Mr. Fox reading a bedtime story for forest friends. How adorable is this scene? I absolutely love it! I die cut the colored scene using a Mod Square die from My favorite things and adhered it on top of a square piece of patterned paper from Maker Forte/Alex Syberia.  I popped this up over a panel that I'd embossed using Tim Holtz Lumber embossing folder and then run over with a brown ink to accent the texture.  As a final touch I added a few gems and a sentiment from Hero Arts.

  (Ad) I just love Nathalie's imagination and creativity, and she's drawn this set of Best Friends who have some similarity with Winnie the Pooh and his gang of friends. Now, you could of course color these up as you wish, but my sister's name happens to be Winnie, and since her birthday was yesterday I colored this up for her. I even set it into a frame. I used Tree House by Sweet November Stamps and a few sentiments made in Word. It's a classic Pooh phrase.  Copics used  YR27, Y38, Y08 R39, R37, R35, R24 R85, R83, R81 + R32, R20, R00 RV29, RV25, RV13, RV11 V09, V06, V05, E13, E11, E21, E00, BV04, BV02, B60, B63, B66, B69, E49 E23, E55, E53, E42, E43, E44, E47 G40, G43, G94 YG01, YG13, G14, G19 B0000, B00 E77, E74, E71  YG09, G19, G29 Thanks so much for stopping by, and happy crafting!

Hi friends! Easter is around the corner and I made this adorable wobble tag using the Spring Cookies: Cookie set 2 . I'm sure my daughter will love this cutie and these chocolate surprises - how adorable are they? I wanted more than my usual warm greys for shading white, so I brought in a bit of soft violets. Copics used:  BV01, B60, W0, colorles blender RV13, RV21, RV10 And to add to the fun I popped the bunny up on a wobble. Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy crafting and I hope you'll have a very happy Easter. Tina *Ad - the stamps were given to me, but opinions remain my own.

Hey everyone! I fell in love with this cutie the moment I saw him, so I made a card and a tag to go along with it. For the card background I masked off the bottom to make a snowy hill and blended the background with Salvaged Patina Distress ink and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide.  Unfortunately I made myself believe I had a Salvaged Patina Oxide and I colored the mice to match. So the inks looked a bit different and to hide that I added some texture paste through a snow stencil. Should I have added glitter? 🤔 Anyway, the sentiments come with the mouse and I just love Nathalie's snarky sentiments as much as her cute critters.  Tag die from Nellie's.  Copics used W5, W3, W1, W0, W00 + RV11 + RV34 BG15, BG13, BG23, BG11 RV04, RV02, RV00 C2, C1, C00 *Ad / reklame* Since I'm on the design team. Thanks so much for stopping by, and happy crafting.  Tina X 

  Hi friends, today I'm sharing a freebie stamp from Wandering Wabbit that you can get on Instagram through Stamplover24 It's basically lots of freebies during February, so go check it out! The stamp is one bird at the fire and one sentiment. So I first copy-pasted the stamp so the birds would be the same size. Then I covered the fire and fit the other bird with the fire next to it. I really love that the bird is so "open" that you can pretty much color any bird you want. I think it can be a penguin as easily as a Bull Finch. I've been fortunate to see a few Bull Finches in my garden this winter, so I colored Mr. and Mrs. Bull Finch.  Copics used 100, C9, C7, C5, C3, C2 R22, R20, R01, R000 E74, E71, E70 Y11, Y00 E44, E43, E42 W2, W0 E55, E57, E59 R14, YR15, Y11 BV13, BV01, BV00, BV000 *ad/reklame*   Since I'm on the design team.  Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting.  Tina X 

  Hi RAM friends, do you celebrate Easter? If so, the February release is now live and it includes the most adorable chicks and bunnies. I dcecided to color up the Easter blessings Chicks for my card and I just couldn't resist coloring up the Stacked Chicks for a tag. I cut the basket of chickens out with a circle die and popped it up on top of die cuts from patterned paper.  I used  Nellie's circle dies Three Scoops paper  My favorite things Elegant rectangle die Gitte's Rundede rektangler og flag A few sequins and gems  Copics used  Y35, Y08, Y13 +YR15 R24, R22, R20 W3, W1, W00 E33, E31, E30 I cut the Stacked Chicks with a Nellie's tag die and added some ribbon.  Copics used  Y35, Y08, Y13 + YR15 V17, FV2, V12 RV23, RV21, RV10 YG05, YG13, YG01   *Ad / reklame* Since I'm on the design team.  Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting!  Tina X 

*ad / reklame*  Hey everyone, here's a quick card using the beautiful Australian Birds digital stamp from RAM stamps .  Don't forget you can get 10% off using code Tina10 The stamp was released as a Christmas stamp, but I chose to remove the holiday sentiment.  I typically try to stay true to reality in my coloring, so this is my rendition of a Galah, lyrebird and kookaburra.  I colored with Copics, added a sentiment and a few mat gold pearls.  Copic combo RV17, R85, RV34, RV10 C3, C2, C1 E44, E43, E42, E41 Thanks for by, happy crafting.  Tina X
