Hi friends! I hope you’re enjoying the last few hours of the weekend! ❤️ I spent a mostly relaxing weekend getting my craft room back in order after the holidays and took a little time to do more ink blends! 💛❤️💙 I’m hoping to continually add more blends as I think of them and you can find my first batch by following the hashtag #allthesparkleblends! These particular blends were ones I was testing for future cards but I’d love to know if there’s a color (or two) you’d like me to focus on for the next batch! 😉 ••• #distressoxideinks #distressoxide #inkblending #papercrafting #ink

Starting off 2021 with a clean and simple card featuring one of my very favorite companies! 🖤💛🖤 I love the new Lovely Letters alphabet set from @concordand9th and how nicely it pairs with the other alpha sets to create this card! Lovely Letters is a stand-alone alphabet set that looks like hand lettering and it’s designed so you can stamp and build whatever sentiment you want! Wishing you all a very Happy New Year! 🎉🎉🎉 ••• LINK - https://www.allthesparkle.com/hny21/ (clickable link in profile) ••• #concordand9th #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #papercrafting #papercrafts #diycards #handmadecards #cardinspiration #cardideas #cardmakingideas #allthesparklejfb #happynewyear

I design for several companies because I truly love their products! Anything I recommend on my blog is something that I genuinely love and regularly use. I do not get paid for product reviews and I will never recommend a product that I do not like or would not use.

I am affiliated with several of my favorite crafty companies which means I receive a small commission (at no additional cost to you!!) when you click on one of my links and make a purchase through the store.

You can find my full disclosure as well as a list of the companies I am affiliated with HERE. Thank you so much for supporting me!
