More fun with Basic to Brilliant! Plus a big old blog party to celebrate STAMPtember®!

September 2, 2020

More fun with Basic to Brilliant! Plus a big old blog party to celebrate STAMPtember®!

The STAMPtember® fun continues today with another video wherein I create one basic card and one, well, more stepped up card!

I designed a pretty cute little Ghost in a Circle die and it’s the star of my two cards today!

My “brilliant” card is all about creating a simple shaker! I have a little tip that might make it easier for you. Check out my video tutorial here:

For more STAMPtember inspiration, Simon Says Stamp is hosting a huge blog party! Stop by the Simon blog to get started!

Plus, check out this fabulous freebie with a purchase of $100 or more. Wow! A 6 x 8 stamp set? Yes, please!

    Cute cards Cathy–love your shaaaaaaaker card! I will often use a fun foam backer instead of tape on shaker cards, depending on size and shape. This method works good, I just need to remember to put the non-sticky side around the right way. Thanks for the tips!

    Yup! Saw your video on FB this morning and laughed so hard! You are so funny! Bee ear thingeys and a costume that will never bee 2 small! This is the die that looks like it could be a bookworm, snail or turtle by adding a little turtle neck paper to its neck. I just love it. Thank you for brightening my day!

    Your videos are always so much fun – almost as much fun as these cards. Love the little ghost you designed. He really is perfect as a shaker card. I plan to use him to make seals for my Halloween cards this year but I know he’ll be used in other ways, too.
