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!

Mer-May 2025 Day 14 | Go With The Flow 1

It's Day 14 of my Mer-May 2025 series! You can watch today's video HERE!

I found this mermaid colored up and was trying to figure out how to use her and finally did it! I had to cut her out and then stamp her on the card and glue her on top. I really like how it came out! I have the other mermaid from this set, Go with the Flow, colored up as well so I might try and get her on a card for tomorrow!

I created the background with the Horizon Lines: Under the Sea set. Again, have to say, really like how it turned out!!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Mer-May 2025 Day 8 | Crabby But Cute

It's Day 8 of my Mer-May 2025 series!! You can watch today's video HERE!!

I found this cutie, Crabby but Cute from Sweet November Stamps and her crab friend colored up so I thought they would be perfect to use today! I let the paper do all the work to showcase these two friends and just added some birds using the Sweet November Stamps Horizon Lines: Seaside Cliffs stamp set.

I thought a mini slimline card would work nicely for her and I was correct!

Birthday Card A Day September 2023- Day 16

It's Day 16 of my Birthday Card A Day September 2023! Today I'm using the stamp set, Paisley from Sweet November Stamps!

I paired her with some papers I was gifted! I ended up paper piecing her dress because the balloon string looked weird when I was done masking. 

She's so adorable and fun!! I think this definitely has a party vibe to it!
