YOU’RE THE BEST
Here is a bonus card I created for release night with a similar concept to those shared above.
I have another card to share using one of the new stamp sets from the release. This was not included in the video but I still wanted to share it here.
This card features the Cup of Love stamp set.
I stamped the image in copic friendly ink and colored the saucer, cup and spoon with copic markers. I didn’t have the coordinating dies so I just fussy cut them for I could pop them up later with foam squares.
For the inside of the cup, I stamped the image in Pizza Crust ink from Lawn Fawn. Then went around the edges of the image with Crunchy Leaf and stamped it again. That way the edges of my coffee were darker then the middle.
How do you take your coffee? Mine is a little coffee with a lot of creamer lol.
I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration! I have an exclusive gift for you!

Love your take on the scene! Great for times when you don’t have time for full on coloring! TFS
Gorgeous cards Mindy !!
Beautiful cards. I really love the second one.
Good use of that background stamp! Thanks for the inspiration! Also liked the last card!
My favorite is the last landscape card with the blurred edges. Great cards all around.
I love your backgrounds for these great sentiment dies!
Fantastic cards!!! Great ideas!!! Love that color combo on your blended background!!
What beautiful cards! So many ways to use this background!
Wish I Could Hug You – Wow! What a perfect sentiment for these challenging times. I like the tree background. And your coffee cup card is perfect, the sentiment is spot on.
Awesome cards, Mindy, love the three different looks and always enjoy your YouTube videos.
thanks for the examples of ways to
change a background while using
the same stamp. Great ideas.

Thanks for sharing.
Love to see various cards with the same stamps and dies! Your creations are great. Thanks for the video, too!
I’m so glad to see someone use the new Mountainscape Background stamp & love all the different looks you gave us.
Thank you for sharing! Love the different looks with one background!

It’s great to see ways to stretch stamps! Thanks!
Beautiful cards, Mindy. Especially liked the “Cup of Love.”
Beautiful cards! Such a great sentiment.
Great cards! Love all the colors and designs!
The first one is my favorite and I think it’s because of the color choices, but they are all beautiful!
love how you have created these cards using the same stamps and got such different looks
Wow, Wow, and Wow for all three cards!
I really like it when different ways are shown with the same product! Thank you Mindy.
I am trying to figure out your creative process for your first card. It says you used clear embossing powder. Did you use watermark ink to make the white mountainscape outline before ink blending over it for a Joseph’s Coat technique?
I love the color combination you chose for the first card. The tattered rose really brightens the card. I want to run make a background with this combination! Thank you for sharing your process as well. It is nice to know that there are crafters like myself out there in the world.
Great backgrounds, what nice sentiment dies!
Great cards. I especially like the coffee card.
These are all fabulous!! I love how you showed different ways to use that background!
These are wonderful, and they fit so many different recipients. Really great!
Wonderful card designs. I enjoyed seeing how you made the different backgrounds. I really like your first blended multi color card.
I just love all of the trees. Thanks for showing us what can be done…
I’m in love with each rubber stamp in this release. But especially this one!!!!!!
Love that background stamp and all four of your cards really look wonderful. I also think the I Wish I Could Hug You die will be perfect for so many cards. Loving that coffee set too!
Great card ideas. Love the colours you used! Really showcased the background stamp.
Beautiful, clean cards. Love those sentiments.
A hug and coffee. Yes, please. Lovely.
I really like these cards.
Thanks for sharing so many wonderful card samples!
Beautiful card especially the coffee card simple but stunning!
Love the backgrounds.. but I do love the coffee card – struck me.. thanks so much for the inspiration 🙂
Awesome cards, great ideas. It drives me crazy if anything isn’t lined up the way I meant it to be on a card also!!
So neat to see so many ways you can make small changes and get a different look for cards.
Very nice cards, I love the Tattered Rose in your color palette!
So many great designs! My favorite is the ink blended Mountainscape card where you went from Rustic Wilderness to Tattered Rose. Those colors are so beautiful together and make the scene really come to life.
Love all these cards but my favourite it the first one with the blended colours.
Love the colors chosen for ink blending! Very versatile stamp.
What a wonderful collection of creativity! TFS ❤
