Welcome to a new Woodblock Wednesday, the day of the week that we use a woodblock stamp (or more) to make a card or other project.  This week I paired the Coffee Girl rubber stamp on cling from Technique Junkies, with a wood-mounted rubber stamp from Inkadinkado.  Sadly, both brands have closed.          I made a top-folding A2 card using white cardstock and adhered it to my desk using washi tape.  Using vintage photo distress ink, I blended a coffee stencil from my stash to the card front, and set it to the side.    I stamped and colored the two images on a piece of white cardstock, die-cut it using a stitched rectangle die, adhered a piece of fun foam to the back, and then adhered it to the card front.  Lastly, I added Diamond Glaze to the glasses to give a glassy effect and set it aside to fully dry.   I hope you have enjoyed this idea.  Remember to use your stash!!   Until next time...

Hey everyone.  Today is my first Design Team Project for  KCS Designs by Kim .  The owner, Kim, has a store on Etsy that sells digital junk journal papers, mixed media papers, clip art, brushes, and other digital items that are perfect for cardmaking, album making, junk journals, or any other papercraft idea. I hardly ever make traditional junk journals, but I love to use digital junk journal papers and collections in my mini albums, photo folios, and cards.  Today I am sharing some cards I made using papers from the Mixed Media Flowers  kit - a set of 12 beautiful journal pages of mixed media flower designs.      I've also have a video showing how I made 2 other cards using the same collection, and you can watch it below or on my YouTube Channel - World of Michael Trent .   KCS Designs by Kim is also having a Summer Sale - 45% off the entire store - through July 31, 2025.

  Have you ever wanted to achieve the look of glass on an image for a card?   The other day I bought a set of digital wildflower images from the XoXoLine store on Etsy, and one of the images was a broken lightbulb with a simple flower growing out it.  I wanted to use this image for a card, and I wanted the lightbulb to look like glass by using Diamond Glaze.   Links to any products I used are at the end of this blog post.   Here is a step-by-step for the card I made. The first thing I did was to print the lightbulb image at 70% on white cardstock and die-cut it using a 3.25" x 4.5" stitched rectangle die.  Using the same die, I cut 4 more pieces using scraps of white cardstock.   I adhered all the pieces together, keeping the image of the lightbulb on top.  The reason for the layers of cardstock is to make the image more sturdy so that, when you apply the Diamond Glaze, the cardstock does not bend or warp.   I colored the ...
