Sending Love

Happy Sunday! I hope you're enjoying a relaxing weekend! Today, I am sharing a clean and simple card featuring this adorable little mouse from the Have a Mice Day polymer stamp set by Lili of the Valley.

Isn't he just the cutest?! I had so much fun creating this card. Sometimes the simplest designs are the most charming, and this little guy definitely brings the sweetness.

Happy Sunday! I hope you're enjoying a relaxing weekend! Today, I am sharing a clean and simple card featuring this adorable little mouse from the Have a Mice Day polymer stamp set by Lili of the Valley.

Isn't he just the cutest?! I had so much fun creating this card. Sometimes the simplest designs are the most charming, and this little guy definitely brings the sweetness.

For this card, I printed the image on Neenah Solar White #80 cardstock and colored it using Prismacolor pencils. Once I was done coloring, I fussy cut the image out. 

For the panel, I first printed the sentiment, and then used a wonky stitched frame die to cut a piece of white cardstock. 

For the background, I used the smooshing technique to add color and texture, and then popped the colored image onto foam tape for some added dimension.

Thank you all so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful, creative day ahead, and remember to keep crafting and having fun!

Here's to Celebrating You

Hello friends! I'm sharing a card today inspired by Pinkfresh Studio's January Year in Review Challenge! For this one, we get to choose from all of 2024's monthly challenges.

I chose September's - Leaves and Wreaths because I had a wreath set, Every Good Thing that was waiting to be used. Finally gave it some love—so happy I dusted it off!"

I started by stamping the wreath using the layering steps with shades of green, pink, and blue. Afterward, I used the matching die to cut it out. For the background, I took a panel of white cardstock, ran it through my die-cutting machine, and embossed it with a 3D woodgrain folder to add some texture.

I popped the wreath up on foam tape for added dimension. The sentiment, also from the same set, was heat-embossed and attached with foam tape as well for a bit of extra lift.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a crafty and wonderful day!

Happy Birthday - Dream Big

Good morning, friends! I’m so excited to share my latest project featuring the absolutely adorable unicorns from Lili of the Valley’s recent Dragons and Unicorns release! This is one of four new sets that are now available in the shop - so don’t wait, grab them while they’re still available!

For my card, I used the Heffy Doodles Storyboard Dies along with some fun rainbow paper from Pink and Main’s Sunshine and Smiles collection to create this cheerful design. 

I printed the images, colored them with Copic markers, and fussy cut them out. I used the stitched cloud border dies from La-La Land Crafts to cut several borders from shimmer paper and attached them to the base with liquid adhesive. The images were then popped up on foam tape for dimension, and the sentiments, included in the sets, were adhered with liquid adhesive.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hoping your day is bursting with sunshine!

Fire Breathing Birthday Wishes

Hi friends! I'm excited to share a card featuring Lili of the Valley's newest release, Dragons and Unicorns. The collection includes the most adorable images of these magical creatures!

My card showcases one of the many super cute dragons from the set. I made this with my nephew in mind, as his birthday is just around the corner, and I’m sure he’ll absolutely love it!

I printed the dragon, colored it with Copic markers, and carefully fussy cut it out. For the starry night, I downloaded several star images, arranged them digitally, and used a stitched circle die to cut the design. Then, I colored the stars with Prismacolor pencils to add depth and detail.

Next, I took a white panel and die-cut a scalloped stitched circle in the center. I then adhered the stars behind it using liquid adhesive. To add dimension, I popped up the cute little dragon with foam tape. The sentiment was printed, die-cut with a fish-tail die, and attached to the panel with liquid adhesive.

I can't wait to send this to my nephew—of course, there will be a little extra something tucked inside for a little extra birthday joy!

Thank you for flying by! I hope your day is Flame-tastic!

Make the Most of this Beautiful Day

Hi there, friends! We’re back with a brand new challenge at Beautiful Blossoms Challenge, and as always, it’s Anything Floral Goes! An optional mood board is available for extra inspiration. I can’t wait to see all your beautiful creations! Happy Crafting! 

My card features the Mindful Magnolias Stamp Set from The Rabbit Hole Designs—such a beautiful set to work with!

I began by stamping the images onto a panel of white cardstock, using the Altenew Stampwheel to position them perfectly. To mask the leaves, I stamped one of the images onto a post-it note and used it to mask the first leaf before stamping the second. After that, I colored all of the images with Prismacolor pencils in soft pastel shades to give them a gentle, serene look.

I ran the panel through my die-cutting machine using a stitched square die, then adhered it to a green mat, which was later attached to a white A2 card base. The sentiment, from the Pinkfresh Studio Farm Fresh Stamp Set, was stamped in black ink and die-cut using a stitched circle die. I then adhered it with foam dots for dimension.

The card was finished off with a few sequins for a touch of sparkle.

For more inspiration, be sure to head over to the blog and check out the amazing creations from our talented design team!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Wishing you a fabulous day filled with creativity!

Happy Monday! I’m back with a new card for the Simon Says Stamp Instagram Challenge, White on White. It was a little tricky for me since I’m so used to adding some color, but I decided to swap color for sparkle. And I’m so pleased with how it came out!

For today’s card, I’ve used all Altenew products, including the Plum Blossoms Layering Die Set, Versatile Vase Stencil, and Glitter Gradient Cardstock Set to create a stunning layered look!

I began by cutting all the dies in the Plum Blossoms set from a variety of white cardstock, including Moonstone and Silverfrom the Glitter Gradient collection, and the leaves were cut from vellum to add a soft, delicate touch.

I then took an A2 white panel, placed it on my Stampwheel, and positioned the Versatile Vase stencil on top. With a soft hand, I blended a light gray ink to achieve a delicate, muted background.

I began to position the plum blossoms on the vase, creating a flowing, harmonious arrangement that gives the design a sense of movement.

I stamped the sentiment using Versamark ink and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. Using the matching die, I cut it out and also cut another layer from white cardstock. After adhering the two layers together with liquid adhesive for added dimension, I placed it on the panel.

To add a little extra sparkle, I cut a thin strip of Moonstone cardstock and adhered it to the left side of the panel. I then mounted the panel onto a white card base to finish it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Magical Wishes

Today, I’m thrilled to share a Sneak Peek featuring magical unicorns from Lili of the Valley’s New release! I’ve never created with unicorns before, but this set was just too charming to resist. It truly sparked my creativity, and I couldn’t wait to bring these enchanting little creatures to life!

I printed the images on Neenah Solar White #110, colored them with Copic Markers, and fussy cut them out. For the background, I used Heffy Doodle’s Imperial Storyboard Die along with Pink and Main Fun Pastels Paper Pad to create a fun, colorful backdrop. 

I added dimension by popping the images up on foam tape. The sentiment was stamped in black ink, cut out with a flag tail die, and also adhered with foam tape for added depth!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Wishing you a wonderfully magical day ahead!

With Sympathy

Hello friends! Today, I’m sharing a sympathy card made with the elegant Fabulous Fuchsia Stamp Set and Die Set from The Rabbit Hole Designs. This set was perfect for creating a heartfelt card to offer comfort and support during tough times.

I created a card featuring the Fabulous fuchsias in an upward-facing position, offering a unique twist on their natural bloom. I love experimenting with different perspectives in my designs, and this one was a fun way to give the flowers a fresh, unexpected look.

I began by stamping the images and coloring them with a soft shading of gray Prismacolor pencils to create a subtle, delicate look. Afterward, I used the coordinating die to cut them out. 

I then adhered some of the images onto a black panel using liquid adhesive, while popping up the top fuchsia on foam tape to add dimension. Once everything was arranged, I attached the elements to an A2 white card base. To complete the design, I added a few iridescent sequins for a subtle sparkle, bringing everything together beautifully.

The sentiment is from the Sentimentally Speaking Stamp Stamp and coordinating dies, which was the perfect touch to complete the card. I stamped it in a coordinating ink to complement the soft, elegant feel of the flowers. To complete the design, I added a few iridescent sequins for a subtle sparkle, bringing everything together beautifully.

I really love how my card turned out. I'd love your feedback on my design, so please leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a Fabulous day!
