Simply Cardmaking with Laurel Beard

Wanna Hug

I’ve got a couple of cards to share with you today using some goodies from the latest Catherine Pooler release!!! Everything I used in the cards are linked at the end of the post just for you.

First up… Succulents….. Well, that’s the stamp set theme but I altered my stamp and turned the succulent cups into COFFEE MUGS! I mean… can you even……

Took a Black Le Pen, drew in some handles and accented parts of the design on the cup and voila!

 

Next up, a fun background paired with florals… I took some tape and masked off the white cardstock before stamping the background stamp! I did that so I could fit a sentiment in the gap!

Masking is a great way to extend those background stamps you might have laying around.

 

So whatcha think? You diggin’ this release?? Let me know in the comments!

Turn OFF THE HEAT: No Heat Foiling Options just for you!

Well, its been quite a while since I’ve done anything crafty whatsoever! I hope to get back to a regular schedule in January… But for today, I’ve got a fun video for all you foil lovers out there! Don’t have a laminator? Don’t want to pull it out? Don’t have foil? I’ve got you covered! Check out the video where I show you loads of ways to add foiling (or the look of foil) to your cards!

 

Did you have a favorite tip or technique??? Let me know in the comments. I am including a few still shots of the cards I made in the video!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!! I miss you all!

Mystery Box for Charity Time

Purging for charity!!!!  Good timing if you want to get crafty stamps/dies for friends as gifts, or for yourself! 50% of the proceeds will be donated to the Promise to Kate Foundation, an underfunded and often misdiagnosed form of Muscular Dystrophy. Kate is the daughter of college friends of mine.

For this destash, I have a variety of sizes/prices available for you. Pricing includes priority shipping. Some items are gently used and some are not used at all. Some include storage pockets, some don’t.  Most dies have the magnetic backing sheet, but a few don’t.  It’s going to be like Christmas morning when you receive your box!

  • (7) $200 boxes (Large priority sized box packed with stamps, dies PLUS additional crafty goodness)
  • (7) $120 boxes
  • (7) $75 boxes

More info:  Each box will contain stamps/dies DOUBLING the cost of the box you purchase. The primary focus of each box is stamps/dies, but for the larger priced one, I will include loads of other crafting goodness too! These boxes are all stuffed full!

Some have been used and some haven’t. It’s a “mystery” what you will be receiving but rest assured, you won’t be disappointed. I hand packaged each box carefully.  I am re-homing stamps, coordinating dies and stand alone dies from large, popular brand named companies. The brands of the stamps are brands that I use and share on my blog. Most all stamps/dies have been released within the last year. 

Value:  I estimate the value of the contents of each box ranges from $150-$400+.   The value of each box is at the minimum DOUBLING the value of the contents inside.

How to buy:  If you are interested in purchasing one of the boxes, paypal the cost to laurelbeard@me.com. All sales are final and no returns accepted. I apologize to all of my international friends, but these boxes are for USA shipping only. 

Disclaimer:  The stamps that I am selling are ones that I purchased, not stamps that were provided to me as a design team member for companies I design for.   Any of those stamps/dies included in the boxes are simply an added bonus and not included in the price.

I will update the post when I sell out, which I predict will be quickly. Last time, I sold all my boxes within 12 hours of my post published!  I have also shared the post on my social media sites as well.

Have an amazing day!!!!!
