Cruising Critters

Today I have a card using another Sunny Studio stamp from my stash, Cruising Critters. I just love how many critters are in that car! 

I got lots of inspiration for my card from the Sunny Studio Blog. Their design team is so talented!

I started out by trying to create a road by embossing the stripes for the road but let's just say that was not a pretty sight so I ended up just using a white gel pen to create the stripes.

I used the Cloud Edger stencil from A Colorful life to create the clouds in the background. I am really liking how versatile the Cityscape Border is and added it to this card in white. 

To finish the card I used the Newton's Nook Land Borders die to create some grass and then added the Cruising Critters that I colored with copics and fussy cut out. I like the Sunny Studio has sentiments that you can build whatever sentiment you want, I added my sentiment to the top of the sky.




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

Animal Land Switch Card

My daughter had so much fun with her Switch playing Animal Crossing that I ended up getting my own switch and I might be slightly addicted to Animal Crossing now. I thought it would be fun to create a card for her to thank her for helping me learn the game so when I saw all the Animal Crossing fandom themed goodies at The Sassy Club, I just had to get them!!

April 2024 Oh So Inspired Collab

It's time for another Oh So Inspired Collab! This month we are being inspired by Dania/Dania's Doodles |@danias_doodles on Instagram.

Here's the card we are being inspired by:


Isn't that just gorgeous!! While I was looking at it I realized it reminded me of a previous SheetLoad of Cards so I looked through my binder and found the October 2019 SheetLoad of Cards was super similar so I used the directions for one card to create my card.



Be sure to check out my video HERE for all the details and to see what the other collab team members came up with!!

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