You're My Person- Love You

I'm so excited that Cristena from Crafty Stamp Co. is working on a second Inspired By The Sketch Book!! I love the first one and refer to it often so I'm really excited that a second one is in the works!!

I feel honored that I will be creating some samples for the new book! I'll be sharing what I create as a little sneak peek!

Today I am sharing a card I created using the new Sketch #123! I used the You're My Person stamp set and the Vintage Romance 6x6 Paper Pad for my card. 



Have a wonderful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

You're Tweet As Can Be

I thought it would be fun to create a card from each of the TOP Inky Inspiration Sketches that Crystal Minkler puts out in her Tawny Owl Paperie | Inky Inspiration group. I've used her sketches often but haven't started at the beginning and worked my through them all.

Today I have used Sketch 20~
I used the Unity Stamps Chirp Up stamp set with Swing into Spring 6x6 papers for my card. I think it turned out so super sweet!!

MerMay 2026- Make a Splash





For today's card I pulled out the Mermaid Party stamp set from C.C. Designs! Such fun mermaids in this set! I paired my mermaid and her turtle friend with papers from Doodlebug's Seaside Summer 6x6 paper pad and used Mojo Monday Sketch #9 for my layout.


I didn't add an embellishment as designated by the star but added a sentiment and it just flowed better where I put it instead of where the sketch had it. Sketches are a great starting point but always good to make them your own.
  
I think this mermaid is just so adorable and sweet with her turtle friend! This card makes me smile!




Have a fabulous day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Jaded Blossom Cinco De Mayo Cards

Happy Cinco De Mayo!! I haven't made any Cinco De Mayo cards in a few years so I wanted to get some done this year. I had fun using lots of Jaded Blossom dies. One of my favorite cards I've received is from Julee Tilman, you can see it HERE and she is the person who really got me into all the fun Jaded Blossom gnomes. The Cinco De Mayo Add Ons and Build A Booth Taco Add Ons were some of my first purchases back in early 2024 and this is the first time I've used them--shame on me! 


I also loved how Julee added some "salt" the rim of her margarita so I added some Unicorn Stickles to the rims of my margaritas. I would have done glitter but I had already adhered them to the cards so I went the stickles route instead.







These turned out so fun and I'm glad I finally used these dies! I can't wait to make more at some point!!
