Crafty Stamp Co. May 2026 Crafty Crew Kit | Pre-Order Yours Today!!

It's that time!! Time to Pre-Order your Crafty Stamp Co. May 2026 Crafty Crew Kit!! The pre-order is open from April 1, 2026 until April 15, 2026!! You won't want to miss this amazing kit!!

I am so excited for this kit as it's perfect for me since it's all about travel! I am going on my first ever cruise in a few weeks and then to Vegas with hubby for a weekend and then later in the summer we're off to Boston!!

To start today's card I chose my stamp set and papers.

Next I decided on what layout I was aiming for using dies from my stash. I decided to do a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch square card to accommodate the larger circle die cut.

I stamped the image and then did a little masking to add the flowers to the basket. Next up was one of my favorite parts, coloring up the image! I colored the image with Copics and added highlights with a white gel pen.

Copics Used:

Ground/Sky: W5, W3, BG000

Skin/Cheeks/Lips: E13, E11, E00, R20, R17

To finish my card I stamped and cut out my sentiment and put all the elements together. I added some Sherbet Sparkle Crafty Dots for a touch of sparkle.

You're A Plant-tastic Friend

I had so much fun creating yesterday's card with the potted plant that I decided to make another one but this time I used the newly released Jaded Blossom Potted Plants dies. I still had out the paper and other dies from the last card so I just used those for this one too.

I'm also entering this into Jaded Blossom's Monthly Challenge which is Anything Goes this month.

I keep telling my family that I plan on being a plant mama whenever we don't have any pets so I really am loving this plant theme I've been creating with!

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

You Brighten My Day

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 19~

I'm also entering this card into The Greeting Farm's monthly challenge which this month it's to use some green.

I looked through my stash of stamps from The Greeting Farm and decided to use Animal Pots--which has never seen ink, eek! I put the sentiment on the inside of the card.

I had fun creating this card and think I might do more cards with a plant/flower theme soon!

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

Morel Support

I had never heard of a Morel Mushroom until I moved to the Midwest. Every spring lots of people head out into the woods to go "mushrooming" and find these mushrooms. They either sell them or cook them up. I must say, I think they are pretty tasty fried!

I picked up the Newton's Nook Fabulous Fungus stamp set/dies in the retirement sale and was thrilled to see there was a Morel Mushroom and fun saying so I "had" to use them!
