Crafty Stamp Co. May 2026 Crafty Crew Kit | Order Yours Now!

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 just can't get enough of the fun May 2026 Crafty Crew Kit! I wanted to use more of the frogs/toads from the Toad Trip stamp set for that is what stamp set I used for today's card.

I used Sketch #37 from the Inspired By The Sketch Book that is available in the shop! Once I decided on a sketch I picked out my papers from the Adventure Awaits 6x6 Paper Pad and got out the ribbon that is a subscriber exclusive.


The next step was to stamp out the 3 frogs and color them up with Copics.


Copics Used:
Frogs: YG17, YG13, YG11, E04, R17
Camera: C6, C5, C3
Bag: E77, E74, E71
Map: B06, G14

I fussy cut the frogs out and added some white gel pen highlights before starting to assemble the card. 


I did turn the squares in the sketch to circles so that it would flow a bit better with the frogs. To add a bit of dimension I popped the frogs up with some foam tape.


I love the ribbon wrapped around the background panel, something I need to remember to do more often!


I thought it needed a little something so I added some Sherbet Sparkle Crafty Dots to finish the card off.

This Is My Egg-Cited Face

I wanted to wait until after Easter to share the cards I created for my kids so that they wouldn't happen to see them. 

I used Unity Stamp Somebunny's Grumpy Pissy Kitty for today's card. The expression on the cats face just cracks me up!




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

Crafty Stamp Co. May 2026 Crafty Crew Kit | Toad Trip

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 knew that for today's card I wanted to use the Toad Trip stamp set! I can't get over the cuteness of the frogs and all their travel accessories! I wanted to use quite a few of the stamps so I decided to pull out one of the postage collage dies in my stash. Once I had the images stamped I colored them up with Copics.


Copics Used:
Background: BG0000, BG000, BG11, B000
Wallet: E57, E55, E53
Sun: Y38, Y35, Y11

Suitcase: YR09, YR04, C7, B02, G14
Frog/Camera: YG25, YG23, YG21, E04, R17, W6, W5, W2

I chose the green polka dot paper from the Adventure Awaits 6x6 Pattern Paper to put as the layer under my collage layer.

I finished the card by adding some white gel pen highlights and a sentiment popped up on some foam tape.




This would be a fun card to send to someone who is off on an adventure!

You Deserve A Pig Thank You

It's been a long time since I've done a complete set of cards using Kendra's Card Challenge so I set a goal for myself to do all 15 cards for the new #KCC22 by the end of the challenge, June 30, 2026.

I haven't been very successful at cutting the 6 different papers like the challenge is designed to do so I just do each sketch individually, which works out great for me!

Today's card uses Sketch #1. I adjusted some of the layers to fit my image but I feel you can still see the sketch. This stamp, Wilbur, from Unity Stamps is just so darn cute! I love it!




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