Sending Paper Hugs

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.

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

Sweet November Fae-bruary Challenge- Week 1

There is a fun challenge each week in the Sweet November Stamps Facebook Group for Fae-bruary!! For the first week the theme is Fairies and Toadstools.

I looked through my Sweet November Stamps both digital and clear and found a digital stamp from a previous Fae-bruary called Cecily. She was perfect for this week's challenge!

I printed her a bit bigger than I planned so the card will have to go in a slightly larger envelope than an A2 size but that's okay! Many cards that are bigger I put into a padded envelope--just to be sure there's no postal issues.

I found some fun papers in my stash, SU Toadstool Gardens 6x6 Designer Series Paper. Even though not much of the paper is showing, it still makes me happy to have it there plus it helped me with what colors I wanted to use. I was a little biased to the paper though as it's my favorite color combo, pink & orange!

I felt the card needed a little something so I grabbed out my favorite Martha Stewart Butterfly punch and added some butterflies. To finish the card I added some details with a white gel pen and some stickles to the fairy's wings

I added some butterflies to the inside of the card too. Unfortunately the glue wasn't dry when I closed the card so when I opened it a little bit stuck the butterflies. I fixed the mistake by adding some antennae with a copic. I'm glad it worked!!

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

I'm really enjoying using sketches a bit more this month so I thought I'd use Kendra's Card Challenge #2 for some cards! You can find out about Kendra's Card Challenge HERE!

Today I am using Sketch 2! My son has requested some wedding cards so I thought I'd make a few out of this Kendra's Card Challenge #2. 

I've decided that wedding cards are my nemesis. I think I tend to use too many bright colors or I'm too hard on myself. LOL! It's a new challenge to master the wedding card that I like.

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

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!

I'm up on the C.C. Designs blog today! I created this sweet card using the Skunks stamp set! It's an older set but still so cute and fun!

I gave my sweet skunk a background of flowers and some butterflies to make it feel "springy". I really like how it came out and I'm really enjoying using these collage type frames more!

Use Your Stash | Gift Card Holder and Card

In 2025 I am focusing on Using My Stash and each month I will be putting out 4-5 prompts/themes to focus on for that month. 

January 2025 Use Your Stash themes/prompts are: Gnomes, Embossing Folders, Border Dies/Punches, Hearts and 12x12 Paper.

I also have a video up today sharing these creations! You can watch it HERE!

Here's my gift card holder. I think it turned out oh so cute!

Birthday Card A Day September 2023- Day 22

It's Day 22 of my Birthday Card A Day September 2023!! Today I have another card using the Pink & Main Party Animal Stamp Set and A Muse Gingham and Polka Dot Papers.

I was inspired by Crafty Al's "Oh So Inspired" Collab for September 2023" for the layout of the card. I just love the inspiration card and hope to revisit this design with some autumn stamps! 

I used the panda for today's card! So adorable!!

Have a super day and smile!
