Color Cube June 2026 Collab with Teresa

Last year my friend Teresa and I did a collab each month where we shared creations being inspired by Color Cube Cards. We took a break for a bit but we're back!

You can watch my video HERE to find out more details about my card and be sure to check out Teresa's channel HERE to see what she created!

We both used Color Cube Card 337 from the original set of Color Cubes. I started by picking out some paper to match the Color Cube Card as closely as possible, although it is just a starting point. I found the Kaisercraft Seaside Collection 6x6 Paper Pad in my stash and decided to use it. I think it's from 2010 or so.

I had lots of scraps in the paper pad so I used the TOP Inky Inspiration Sketch 13.

Usually I tend to grab a stamp set from Unity Stamps when I work with Color Cube Cards but today I grabbed out the Jaded Blossom Gnome Friends Bird Die! I love that cute birdie!! 

Even though the Color Cube Card was a little challenging for me I really love how this came out!! 

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

Crafty Stamp Co. July 2026 Crafty Crew Kit | Flutterbys & Blooms with Vellum Butterflies Card Tutorial

It's time to Pre-order the July 2026 Crafty Crew Kit (Pre-order your kit before June 15, 2026! Kits ship out July 5, 2026) from Crafty Stamp Co.! This is definitely a kit just brings warmth and happiness with it's butterflies and fairy!

Today's card uses the Flutterbys & Blooms stamp set and Rainbow Butterflies & Alcohol Ink 6x6 Paper from the kit and the Flutterby Trio Die that is available at a discount to subscribers of the kit!

My first step was to pick out my paper and I die cut the Flutterby Trio Die out of vellum.

The second step was to see how I wanted the layout to be with the paper and vellum butterflies and this is where I actually chose the stamp set I wanted to use.

I stamped out the butterflies onto stitched circle die cuts and colored them up with my Copics.

Copics Used:

Shadow: BG11

Butterflies: BG75, BG72, RV17, RV14, V17, V15, V12, RV08

White Gel Pen Highlights

Before adhering everything together I found the placement I wanted. I love the interest that the vellum butterflies add and how they take on the color that is beneath them. 

I stamped the sentiment on the inside and finished off the card by adhering everything and popping the butterfly circles up on foam adhesive.

A beautiful card that anyone would love to receive!!

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