Hi everyone. I hope you’re having a great start to your week! Today I’m sharing a DOUBLE FEATURE. One video–two cards!
I had two birthdays coming up for two very special kids in my life so of course I needed some special cards to celebrate the occasions. I let my camera roll as I created the cards so I have a how-to video to share with you. You can watch the video below, or over on my YouTube channel.
These cards were just a pleasure to create. I didn’t follow any reference photos when colouring and just let the Distress Ink do its magic. That’s one of the things I love about creating for kids–just letting the creativity flow.
Anyways, that’s it for me today. Thanks so much for dropping by!

Hi there, I love your videos. I just wanted to know how did you line up your stamped animals with the die cut on your pc. You seem to just randomly place the stamps do how did you line it up correctly on your pc/die cutter. Would be great to see a video on this. Vicky 🙂
Hi Vicky. I’m so glad you like the videos! Comments like yours make it all worth it. 🙂 For this card, I have the regular steel dies so I can stamp the images anywhere on my paper since I’ll line the dies up by hand. I’ll include this step next time so you can see what I mean.
