Love You Paw Some Friend

Hello Crafty Friends!

I was delighted when I was invited to be a Guest Designer for Pixi Dust Designs. They have the most adorable products, which are a pleasure to craft with. I highly recommend visiting their website if you have not already done so.



The images were stamped and colored with Copic markers before being cut using the matching pixie cuts. The background was created using two fun paper patterns. The sentiment was directly stamped onto the panel with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I then finished the card with various sequins.

Thank You For Your Friendship

Hello Crafty Friends! 

I decided to play with Pixi Dust Designs, Tulips Die set. I really liked how easy it was to put this card together.

After die-cutting the petals and leaves onto some colored cardstock, I then blended similar colored inks to add some shading. I used the Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud Border die to add grass to the bottom of the panel. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things Bitty Thanks & Gratitude. I added sequins to complete the card.

Happy Birthday

Hello Crafty Friends!

My card features Sweet Friend from Alex Syberia Designs. I love this new set from their May release. This set includes a few adorable mice images and some heart warming friendship sentiments. 


I began by stamping the images and then coloring them with Copic markers. I then used a warm gray Prismacolor pencil to add a shadow underneath the image. I adhered a piece of colorful balloon paper from My Favorite Things to the left side of the panel and attached it to a yellow card base. The sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up! Set. A few pastel sequins and my card was finished.

Happy You Day

Good morning, Crafty Friends! I am delighted to share my first card with you as a member of the Design Team at the Colorful Options Challenge Blog. 

We would like to invite you to participate in our June color challenge, where the chosen color for the month is AQUA. If you're not an admirer of Aqua, do not fret, as you have the option to create a project inspired by the rainbow. 

I can't wait to see what you create! I wish you the best of luck and happy crafting.

Please head over to our Blog and check out the rest of the wonderful inspirational work from the DT! I look forward to seeing your creation!


To create the background, I started with a panel of Neenah 80# and blended the bottom portion with Altenew Sweet Dreams Fresh Dye Inks Dew Drops and Aqualicious. I used the Waffle Flower Crafts Sea Foam Stencil and blended the aforementioned inks, however, I added Teal Cave to enhance the depth of the water scene. I flipped the panel over and created sand by blending Distress Oxide inks, Vintage and Walnut, and adding texture with black and white splatter. 


Next, I used the Waffle Flower Crafts Beach Umbrella Die & Stencil. I began with the stencil on a white panel and again on a teal panel, using the same inks as above, but adding Teal Cave and Galactic Stream. I cut them out using the matching dies and adhered the smaller one directly to the background panel with glue. The larger one was adhered with foam strips. 


I used My Favorite Things, Fun in the Sun, to complete the beach scene. The images were stamped, colored with Copic markers, and then cut with the matching dies. To take it a step further, I stamped the girl image once again on the Half Dots Unicorn Paper Pad from Waffle Flower Crafts and then paper pieced it to the image to create a fun polka-dotted suit. I adhered the images using glue and foam strips. 


To complete the card, I heat embossed the sentiment from My Favorite Things Little Birthday Notes and added aqua sequins to the card.

To The Best Dad Ever

Hello Crafty Friends!

I am thrilled to be a Crazy Cousin Guest Designer for the Double Trouble Challenge #168.


To participate in this challenge, you must adhere to the instructions provided by Things 1 and 3. Thing 1 requests that you make a masculine card. This is the only requirement necessary to enter the challenge. The decision of Thing 3 to collaborate with Colorful Options calls for the use of shades of aqua or rainbow hues. Thing 2 invites you to enter your project into Colorful Options if you have met the Thing 1 and Thing 3 requests.



The Papertrey Ink Argyle Stencil was used to create the background using Altenew Sweet Dreams Fresh Dye Inks in order to play along with Thing 3. The image from Stampin' Up! A Good Man (retired) was stamped and colored with Copic Markers, then fussy cut out and popped up on foam strips. The sentiment is from Colorado Crafts Company was stamped on a piece of white cardstock and adhered to the background. From there, it was adhered to a teal card base. 


I can't wait to see what you create! I wish you the best of luck and happy crafting.

Please head over to our Blog and check out the rest of the wonderful inspirational work from the DT! I look forward to seeing your creation!

You're So Good For Me

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today, I am sharing a card that I made for a monthly Instagram Hop called the Wacky Holidays Card Hop. This Hop is dedicated to celebrating the overlooked holidays throughout the year. If you are curious about which holiday I chose for June, please continue reading. 


I have chosen World Milk Day, which is observed on June 1st and was initiated by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, to commemorate its significant contribution to providing nutrition to the world. 


My card features a digital image from Penguin Palace - Milk, Tea, Or Me. There are five images in this set, with three featuring this adorable cow. I downloaded the file, resized it, and colored it with Copic markers. I then fussy cut him out.  

For the background I used Honey Bee Stamps, Great Outdoors paper pad. I then cut out a stitched panel on white cardstock and adhered it to a navy mat. I then placed the cow on foam strips for dimension. 


The sentiment is from Angie Blom Digital Designs, You're So Good For Me. This is a great set. It includes several dessert images as well as fun sentiments. If you have not been to Angie's shop before, you should definitely visit and look around. Sequins were also added to complete the card.
