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

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

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!

Products Used:
Unity Stamps Wilbur Stamp Set
Hammermill Cardstock
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
Copics

Unity Stamps Hay.There. 6x6 Paper
Scrappy Boy Stamps Stitched Circle Nesting Dies

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
Hair: E99, E97, E95

Flowers: Y19, YR09, YR04, R83, V04
Clothes: B06, B05, B02, YG17, YG13, YG11, E44

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.
