Just a little cluck to say hi!

Yesterday I went live with Crafty Al to use our stash! I used the April Use Your Stash prompts of kit, flowers and birds. You can watch the replay HERE!!

I used the Unity stamp set, Witty Chick Whimsy and had so much fun coloring her up! My kit is an oldie but goodie--Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients Kit from September 2010!! Although I only used one sheet of paper from it, at least I got it out!

April 2025 Color Cube Collab with Fresh and Renewed with Teresa | You Make Me Happy

I'm excited to be doing a little collab today with my friend, Teresa of the Fresh and Renewed with Teresa channel! We are both using our color cube cards today! You can watch my video HERE!!

My hubby chose card #69 for me to use. I have to admit, I struggled a bit with this color palette but I didn't give up and kept going!!

My card uses the Waffle Flower Postage Die and Postage Collage Coloring Stencil. I didn't have the exact colors of the color cube card but I got close enough. I tried to make the card work with the Concord & 9th Kristina Werner Checking In stamps/dies but I just didn't like it so I switched gears to use the You Are My Sunshine stamp set from The Greeting Farm.


In the end I like it much better with the cute bear and the added oval. A reminder to myself to just keep going!!

Blossomgram

Today I have a couple cards using the Unity Stamps Blossomgram stamp set! Such a pretty stamp set!


The first card I paired the image with a 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 paper pad from Hobby Lobby called Country Road. I'm not the greatest with softer pastel colors but I do like how the image looks after I colored it!



The next card I didn't fussy cut out the image, left it on the background panel. I realize I need more square dies, LOL!
