Foiling Friday | 'Tis The Season

It's time for another Foiling Friday!! Watch my video HERE for more details!

Last week I only had time to finish one of the cards using backgrounds I foiled using the Newton's Nook 'Tis The Season Toner Card Fronts. I finished up the other 3 cards for this week. I used lots of Newton's Nook goodies both current and retired along with a few Kat Scrappiness products. I like how each one turned out and I love that now I have more holiday cards for the holiday market I am doing in December!

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

June 2026 SheetLoad of Cards | Happy Birthday

I recently discovered that our local food pantry makes up "birthday bags" to give out to people. I thought it would be fun to donate some birthday cards each month for them to put in the bags. I'm going this week to see if they would like to have them or not so I wanted to take some cards with me in case they accept my donation.

The June 2026 SheetLoad of Cards was perfect as it makes 12 cards. I changed the sketch a little bit, instead of tearing the paper I added a strip of paper created with the Kat Scrappiness A2 Stitched Strips Dies.

The arches I used are from Jaded Blossom, Stitched Arch Dies and the stamp set is from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps (now Creative Worship), Bold Birthday. The paper is some from my stash, an older Recollections Hot Buy stack, Happy Cake Day!

The food pantry thought it was a great idea so I'm happy I thought of it. Now each month I will try to donate birthday cards and the supplies for the birthday bags!

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

July 2023 Crafty Courtyard Kit- Summer Fruits

Earlier in the week I used the Pink & Main July 2023 Crafty Courtyard Kit-Summer Fruits for my SheetLoad Rewind cards. The kit was still on my desk so I decided to just sit and play and create more cards with it.

There were 4 sketches on the printable enclosed so I used those on some of my cards to "get started". 

I had so much fun just sitting and creating! I used almost all of the cardstock in the kit and most of the patterned paper which is a rare thing for me! Feels good to use my stash!

Foiled cards are so hard to photograph but so pretty in person!

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

Summer Vibes Collab | Surf's Up

I'm excited to be doing a little collab today with my friend, Teresa of the Fresh and Renewed with Teresa channel! We are planning on sharing summer themed creations each Friday through the end of August!

Watch my video HERE!!

For this week's Summer Vibes I used Surf's Up Anya from The Greeting Farm. I don't think she's seen ink before so that made it super fun to color her up. I paired her with a "vintage" paper pad, Bo Bunny Barefoot & Bliss 6x6 Paper Pad. I really like how summery this card turned out! 

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

Kat Scrappiness May Challenge- Anything Goes

I recently discovered that Kat Scrappiness has a challenge and this month it's Anything Goes so I thought I'd play along! 

I pulled out the Quokka'n Up stamp set and dies and the Spectrum on Love papers to create my happy card!

It just makes me smile and it's fun that it's colors I don't typically use together but I think they are fun together!

Have a smiling kind of day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

MerMay 2026- You're Mer-tastic!

I have another fun MerMay card today! I used the Finned Friends stamp set from Crafty Stamp Co. and their For The Gentlemen 6x6 paper pad. Even though it's a mermaid card, you don't have to stick with just mermaid themed papers!

Don't forget that Crafty Stamp Co. makes it easy to find the mermaid themed products with their Mermaid Section! Check it out HERE!!

I created this card as a mini slimline card. A fun size that I often forget about but I do like it!

I colored up the mermaid/merman in koi fish inspired patterns. A super easy technique, just add some spots of a darker color and then pull that color out with a light color. 

I really like the sentiment, You're mer-tastic! I think that will make anyone smile!

Have a mer-tastic day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

I took a little break from creating with Kendra's Card Challenge #22 but I decided to get busy with it again starting where I left off at Sketch #5. 

This one was a quick one since I didn't do any coloring of images, just a fun die cut sentiment.

The ProCRAFTinator's Club IG May Hop

I am joining in The ProCRAFTinator's Club hop this month on IG using the Pink & Main December 2023 Crafty Courtyard Kit- Bookworm. I think I've only made a couple cards from this kit so it was time to create some more!

The kit included 4 sketches so I took that as inspiration to create 4 cards. It feels good to use the kit instead of having it sit untouched!

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

You Brighten My Day

I thought it would be fun to create a card from each of the TOP Inky Inspiration Sketches that Crystal Minkler puts out in her Tawny Owl Paperie | Inky Inspiration group. I've used her sketches often but haven't started at the beginning and worked my through them all.

Today I have used Sketch 19~

I'm also entering this card into The Greeting Farm's monthly challenge which this month it's to use some green.

I looked through my stash of stamps from The Greeting Farm and decided to use Animal Pots--which has never seen ink, eek! I put the sentiment on the inside of the card.

I had fun creating this card and think I might do more cards with a plant/flower theme soon!

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