Hello, crafters. Welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video! Today I invite you to join me as I do some unexpected coloring featuring the Dreamy Leaves stamp set. As I was planning my card, I went to Pinterest in search of inspiration and came across this stunning image. I loved the way the leaf was colored – it wasn’t solid green, yet it had sections of green and sections of white. It looked so clever! So I applied this coloring method to the leaves on the cards I’m sharing today. Like this project? Pin it and save for later | Curious about my project photography? Click for det ..read more

Hello friends! In this blog post & video, I’m sharing cards inspired by interior design. I love to look at various interior design styles and solutions online and they often inspire me, a good example is my use of dark cardstock for the card backgrounds, that came to my cardmaking from dark interior design trends. I’m creating with a new collection from Spellbinders – Glimmering Flowers. This collection features 2 floral Glimmer plates + coordinating coloring stencils and a set of glimmer sentiment plates & dies. Like this project?

Hello-hello! I’m back to share several card ideas for our Moms (for Mother’s Day or just because, plus there’s one Birthday card in there, as well) featuring the Mirrored Arch Collection by Spellbinders. This is a fantastic collection with a little bit of everything for everyone – an embossing folder, a die set, and a few BetterPress plates (and remember, if you don’t have the BetterPress system, you can just get the BetterPress plates and use them in you Glimmer!).

Hello, crafters. Welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video! I’m creating cards with the Flower Block stamp set in this video. This set is genius. We all have floral stamp sets in our stash, but probably none that allow us to create a colorful background all while creating beautiful flowers. This stamp set does. Yes, this set makes a small colorful block, it can be the focal point, but it doesn’t cover the full background. To cover the full card background (A2 card that is) one would need to stamp it about 6 times. Like this project? Pin it and save for later | Curious about my ..read more
