Hello everyone! Sveta here, and I’m ready to show you how I used the Trendy Circles Stamp Set. Actually, I will be showing three ways of using this stamp set and I hope you are ready to get inspired. I made all of them in one color palette using turquoise, black, and white.
The first card is inspired by the Disney icon – Mickey Mouse! I just adore such graphic images of him and it came into my head to create my own version with some circles. The card is tiny – only 3.5 inches by 5 inches, I used a 5×7 Classic Crest Solar White Notecards for it.
It’s a really easy card to do and it will be a great option for a kid’s party invitations. To color the big circle, I used the same stamp, but the reverse side of it, along with Aqualicious Crisp Dye Ink.
The second card is a classic C&S one. This set is a perfect example of a stamp set for such style and you really do not need another one to complete your card since you have all you need and you can use it in a ton of ways. I just stamped a two-layer circle and a sentiment inside it.
The third card is the most complicated but still very easy to make. I heat embossed 5 circles with Pure White Embossing Powder and toned them with Mountain Mist Crisp Dye Ink and Aqualicious Crisp Dye Ink. I also sprayed the card with Iridescent Shimmer Ink Spray.
Thanks for being with us! Wish you a great weekend and lots of inspiration!

February is the month of St. Valentine so I decided to come up with Valentine’s cards. Last month, I already showed you two heart-themed cards and I will share some more ideas of how to create quick and simple cards using some patterned paper.
Coincidentally, I found one sheet from the

For the sentiment, I used Envelope Liner Die Set and a silver mirror cardstock. Once all the pieces were adhered together, the card was ready.
I used two of the newly released 6×6 paper packs: Pastel Dreams and Verdant Walk. These two are perfect to mix and match and you can find soft patterns along with the bright ones to resonate with any mood.
They are so easy to make that you can prepare some pieces in advance, so you will always have a set for a last-minute card.
First, I chose patterns that will match each other. Then, I used two different sizes of dies from the Halftone Hearts Nesting Die Set to prepare heart-shaped die-cuts.
After that, you only need to place hearts on the card – any way you want to – and add a sticker with a sentiment. On the first card, I fussy cut it from the sticker and on the second one, I used the sticker untouched. I used Envelope Stickers here.
I also prepared a process video for you, so make a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy! Watch it below or 
The first card I made using Rouge Cardstock as a contrasting base to the green leaves. I also added a gold mirror honeycomb for the focal point background using Geo Frames Stamp and Die Bundle. Then I placed the ferns around the focal point composition.
For the sentiment, I chose to use the Everything Will Be Okay Die.
For my second card, I used the Wild Ferns to create a background pattern. I stamped leaves with all shades of grey, so it looks like shadows on a different distance.
The main image is a giraffe from Baby Zoo Die Set. I heat embossed the “baby boy” sentiment from the Baby Zoo Stamp Set. Also, I added a few fine gold frames behind the giraffe.
The third card is my favorite. I like cards with a dark, black background. I highlighted the center of the card with the honeycomb die-cut placed on a foam adhesive and heat embossed a fern with Gold Embossing Powder. Then I sprayed the card with Antique Gold Metallic Ink Spray and look how gorgeous is it!
I found an easy way to add a sentiment – I simply cut off the sentiment piece from Envelope Stickers.
Hope you liked today’s card ideas and wish you lots of creative hours with these design inspirations and supplies. Have fun!
On this card, I focused on the beautiful flowers from the Starry Flowers Stamp Set. I colored them with the Watercolor Brush Markers and touch of Altenew’s Watercolor 36 Pan Set. I used yellow, orange, red, and brown colors, making one image darker than the other one.
I die cut flowers using the coordinating Starry Flowers Die Set and cut off the ends. I also stamped the same images with Jet Black Crisp Dye Ink on the background tightly next to each other to fill the whole background with them.
Finally, I added a die-cut sentiment cut out from Gold Mirror Cardstock.
I really like vibrant orange colors over the deep red one.
Thanks for joining me today!
The first one is a simple vintage card. I stamped an image of a plant and a pot with Rocky Shore Crisp Dye Ink and then added a few strokes with markers. Then I toned the whole card panel with the same ink and added a touch of Espresso Crisp Dye Ink. 
After I added a sentiment with Jet Black Crisp Dye Ink, I made a light brown shadow with a marker. Then I mounted the panel on a brown cardstock.
My next card also has a brown card base but it has a classic, clean & simple style.
I used an ombre stamping technique for this card for both the plant and the pot. It’s pretty quick but the result is very unique.
The last card, or should I say “envelope”, is made in blue and pink tones that also turned purple while blending.
I created a panel that adhered not on a card base but on an envelope. I stamped to create a frame with Starlight Crisp Dye Ink and then blended it with Pinkalicious Crisp Dye Ink. Then I sprayed a bit of Pure White Ink Spray to add some accents.
I used the 
Then I started to color background with watercolors using Altenew’s 
For me, it’s always a challenge to add a sentiment that will not be lost in this kind of background. The idea came to me from a box that I have that says: “die-cuts that I can use someday”. It was a negative die-cut that I made using the 
Adding a yellow bow was the final accord to this card to highlight the color combination that I chose.
