Hello LDRS Creativefriends and family! Have you ever bought a card kit and didn’t know how to customize it to make it stand out? I absolutely ADORE the new Cozy Halloween Card Kit, and will show you 3 different ways to customize it.
Adding a few layers of die-cuts and foam adhesive gives this card a lot of dimension. I also used the Rub-On Transfer Sheet that is included in the Card Kit to add the bats! How cute are they?!
The Halloween Card Kit has everything you need to create one-of-a-kind cards!
For my last project, I gave the card more texture by adding the Gilt Eyelash Trim with some Washi Tape.
This card is really simple, but I really love how it turned out!
Can you tell me which one is your favorite? I hope you guys found my ideas helpful and like my 3 cards today. The supplies used are linked within the context of the post. Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting! XO!
Hello everyone and Happy 2025! I hope you are all doing well! I want to start the new year by creating more projects and giving you a lot of content this year!
I always run out of all-occasion handmade cards and that’s because I send them to friends all the time! I was looking at the new LDRS collection and the Apple Blossom Swag Bundle is just the right combo to create this beautiful card below.
Finally, assembling the card was very easy by layering the Stitched Scallop and Arches dies with foam adhesive for dimension and stability. Here’s another look at the card.
I hope you like this card as much as I do! Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting!
Hello everyone. It’s been awhile since I posted on this blog. Hubby and I are settling really well back home in Florida and have been really busy with home renovations! I didn’t realize retirement life can be super busy!
For today’s post, I wanted to create a simple but elegant card, mixing and matching old and new LDRS Creative products and I really love how this card turned out.
Now that I have all the card components, I am ready to assemble the card. I am using a lime green card stock as my card base. I die-cut the white arch using the Arches Die Set and foam-mounted this piece onto my card base. I adhered the big floral image using some glue.
I also foam-mounted my focal panel and adhered the pink flower, followed by using pop dots to elevate the “a happy hello” sentiment to finish the card design. Easy peasy! Here’s another look:
I hope you like this card today and got inspired. The supplies I used have been linked within the context of this blog post. Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

I opted for a cute mini slimline card to showcase the Confetti Hot Foil Plate. My Gemini Foil Press Machine gave up on me so I was only able to make one card, boohoo!
After hot foiling the background, I adhered some gold and black card stock behind to give it more dimension. I also used the same gold card stock to trim two strips and adhered both pieces on the foreground with liquid glue.
Next, adhering the focal panel on a mini slimline card base with liquid glue; and used some gold gel pen to add some lines and dots for added interest.
I finished the card design by adding the sentiment that I foiled using the Birthday Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and foam-mounting it onto the card for added dimension.

I first trimmed some Bristol smooth white card stock measuring 5 1/4 by 4 inches and used the Slimline Masking Circles Stencil to create the colorful circles with different colors of dye inks. I added some interest to the circles by using some white gel pen and drew some dots and squigglies. I also used some black marker to add more dots to the background.
Next, I stamped the images using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on some white card stock and colored the images in with alcohol markers. I used the coordinating die to cut them all out
The background panel was adhered to some black card stock and added to a white top-folding notecard. I used the flag dies from the Frames & Flags Die set to die cut a few pattern paper from the Birthday Woofs Paper Pad and adhered to the card, then foam-mounted the focal image for added dimension.
I finished the card design by adding the sentiment that was heat-embossed on some black card stock. Here’s another look:

I started by adhering the Birthday Meow’s Paper on some A2-size notecard. I trimmed some Bristol Smooth White Card Stock measuring 5 x 3 3/4 inches and used Distress Inks and blending brushes to ink-blend this panel.
I stamped the images on some Neenah solar white card stock and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I colored the images in using Copic markers.
Next, I pressed the Aged Mahogany Distress ink on the acrylic block and added some water; I then used my watercolor brush to add splatters to the ink-blended panel. This created more texture to the background. I die-cut the grass panel using the Land Border Die and the Birthday Meow’s Paper Pad and adhered on the panel. I also added the colored images to the foreground with liquid glue.
I adhered the focal panel with some black card stock and trimmed it closed to the size of the panel to ground the images, and added to the card.
The last thing to do is add the sentiment that I heat-embossed on some black card stock and die-cut using the circle die from the Frames Squared Die Set. Here’s another look:

Leave the ink-blended panel to dry for about 20 minutes then use the Tropical Leaves Stencil and apply some Ranger Distress Matte Texture Paste using some Palette Knife. This will add a lot of texture to the focal panel. Allow this to dry for another half an hour and adhere on some top-folding notecard.

Next, I used the same Oval Frames Die Set to create the frame and foam-mounted this piece on the notecard for added dimension.
I stamped the images on some Neenah Solar White Card Stock and colored them in with alcohol markers. I used the coordinating die to cut the image out and foam-mounted on the focal panel.

I first created the background by adhering some colored card stock to my A2-size notecard. I trimmed a panel of some Neenah Solar White card Stock measuring 4 x 5 1/4 inches and used an embossing folder to add texture to the background. I adhered this piece on the notecard.
Next, I stamped the images using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on some white card stock and colored the images in with alcohol markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out.
I used the Oval Frames Die Set to create the oval frame on the background, that was later on foam-mounted to the card for added dimension. I also adhered the colored images with liquid glue! I know you can’t see it on the photo but I added crystal glaze to the images to make them pop!
I finished the card design by adding the sentiment that was heat-embossed on some black card stock. Here’s another look:
