MerMay 2026- Shimmer and Shine

I got this mermaid set, Shimmer and Shine from Sweet November Stamps last year and hadn't used it yet so I just *had* to get it out and color it up! I hope to color the other mermaid in the set soon!! 

A pretty simple card but I like the addition of the coral and bubble die cuts!!

Jaded Blossom Cinco De Mayo Cards

Happy Cinco De Mayo!! I haven't made any Cinco De Mayo cards in a few years so I wanted to get some done this year. I had fun using lots of Jaded Blossom dies. One of my favorite cards I've received is from Julee Tilman, you can see it HERE and she is the person who really got me into all the fun Jaded Blossom gnomes. The Cinco De Mayo Add Ons and Build A Booth Taco Add Ons were some of my first purchases back in early 2024 and this is the first time I've used them--shame on me! 

I also loved how Julee added some "salt" the rim of her margarita so I added some Unicorn Stickles to the rims of my margaritas. I would have done glitter but I had already adhered them to the cards so I went the stickles route instead.

These turned out so fun and I'm glad I finally used these dies! I can't wait to make more at some point!!

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

Kind Words Are Like Honey Sweet To The Soul

Today I have a sweet card using the Crafty Stamp Co.'s Bees & Honey Stamp Set!

Such darling little bears dressed as bees, adorable!!

To help me decide on a layout I pulled out my Inspired By The Sketch Book! I chose Sketch #48. I always feel once I have the sketch picked out the rest of the card goes together quickly!

I stamped, colored and cut out the sweet bear and all the elements of the sketch. Then it was just a matter of putting the card together. The finishing touches were some sparkle on the wings and adding some Sea Glass Sparkle Crafty Dots!

I think this turned out so super sweet! It was fun to go with the aqua/turquoise color instead of black for the bee look.

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

Bee Kind

As the weather gets warmer I love to see the bees buzzing around flowers! As a child I was not overly happy with bees and scared of them but as an adult I really enjoy them and have learned more about them. If I had a house in the country I would love to have my own hives but at the moment, that's a dream.

I pulled out the Crafty Stamp Co. Buzzy Bee Meadow stamp set today since my mind was on bees! I paired the stamp set with the Buzy Buzzin' 6x6 Paper Pad, also from Crafty Stamp Co.

I used Sketch #15 from the Inspired By The Sketch Book for my layout. I just love this book full of sketches so much! It helps me when I feel "stuck" on a card!

Once I had all my papers cut and laid out for the card, I stamped the images and colored them up and cut them out.

The next step was to stamp out a sentiment and add some sparkle. The card came together easily after that! A super sweet card to bring smiles to anyone!

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

Sweet November Stamps Fae-bruary Week 4

There is a fun challenge each week in the Sweet November Stamps Facebook Group for Fae-bruary!! For the final week the theme is Moon & Stars.

I'm not going to lie, this one threw me and I had decided that I wasn't going to do it but then I decided to give it a try, LOL! I'm not the most pleased with my background but I tried. LOL! I have a new paintbrush coming for splattering so maybe that will help in the future.

I pictured the sweet Fairwee Twirl fairies having a fun spring party dancing in the purple moon! 

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

I am trying to work on using stencils more and also ink blending. One of the things I wanted to figure out was how to emboss a stencil in my Big Shot and voila' I did it! I ink blended over it and love how pretty it turned out! 

Once I had the embossed/inked panel I needed to add an image. I looked at my notes and realized I can enter one more time in the Sweet November Stamps FB group monthly challenge so I went that route.

I don't think I've ever used the Enchanted Spring Flowers stamp set or if I have, not much so I thought it would be fun to color up some of the flowers and fairies/butterflies. I left off a sentiment since I don't know exactly who I'm sending it to.

I think it just turned out so pretty! Yay! I'm looking forward to playing more with stencils and ink blending!!

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

Happiest Bee-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 15~

I chose the super fun Bee-Hold stamp set from Unity Stamps for my focal image and built the card around that fun bee with papers and pearls from my stash.
