T-Rex Birthday
This card was so much fun to make but even more fun to give! I used a Silhouette cut file, #204997, by Jennifer Rush to make this fun shaped card. The edges of each piece are ink blended and the top layers are popped up on foam tape for dimension. The birthday hat was a […]
Happy Birthday techie card
Some of you know that I have only one child, a son that means more to me than life itself. What you may not know about me is that I also have almost a dozen “adopted” children, the result of being Band Mom to a high school marching band. Though the 4 years I gave […]
Hey there {PIN}spirational Challenge
Today’s almost one layer card is brought to you with the help of inspiration from {PIN}spirational Challenges and Pink & Main. I used the Pink & Main Sweet Bouquets stamp set for both the image and sentiment. I was going for a fall bouquet of mums in traditional fall mum colors, which I love putting […]
Trick or Treat Smell My Feet
I thought this stamp set was so fun! Tuesday Morning recently had a bunch of different (apparently un-named) Halloween sets from American Crafts for super cheap. This particular set had an extra large sentiment… so large I had to cut it in half to make it fit an A2 card!!! This is the first half […]
Stamplorations Bloomdala Bliss
I was inspired by the current CAS Colour and Sketch challenge and thought this image would be perfect! I colored this with my Prismacolor pencils in colors that matched the challenge colors, I love these colors as an alternative to traditional Fall colors! I have another idea for this color combo… we’ll see if it […]
Sweet Thing – Less Is More #401
I was totally inspired by the current challenges at Less Is More and Splashy Mix to make this card. I knew I wanted a stencil background and was super pleased to find this one, from The Crafter’s Workshop, called Kaleidoscope… however, I thought it resembled citrus wedges! I used Broken China Distress Oxide with a […]
MFT Color Challenge 122 – Prehistoric Fun
Here is my card for the current MFT color challenge and the inspiration for it: I used the MFT Cloud stencil to create the background with Distress Oxide inks. Then I stamped images from the MFT Prehistoric Fun stamp set. I watercolored the images with Tombow markers in coordinating colors. I intended to use the […]
MFT Summer Camp Day 1 & MFT Color Challenge 121
Take 2 on Day 1 of MFT’s Summer Camp! This is another fully watercolored card, painted with the 36 color set of Gansai Tambi’s. I need to use these more often cause I just saw they now offer a 48 pan set but I refuse to buy it (yet) with so much paint left in […]
MFT Camp Create 2019 – Day 2 – Remarkable Resist
Today’s camp activity is called Remarkable Resist. For my card I used MFT’s Wavy Coloring Book Background with Versamark and platinum embossing powder. I love this background, especially for summer because it looks like waves in the ocean to me. Once that was heat set, I used several shades of Zig Clean Color Brush Markers […]
MFT Summer Camp Day 1 – Watercolor
I’m making an effort to participate in MFT’s Summer Camp every day this week. I had so much fun with the first day’s event of watercolor, you may see more than one card from the effort! This card, using MFT’s Friends in the Forest, is my favorite!!! I used my 36 Gansai Tambi watercolors on […]
Watermelon Card Set
Quick post today with a card set inspired by Chari Moss in a set she created for Lawn Fawn. Here are side by side pictures, first mine than Chari’s. She used dies to make her seeds, putting black paper behind the pink to use the negative space. She also used dies for most of the […]
Sitting Here Thinking of You with Hero Arts
My mom passed away 10 years ago. Seems like it was just yesterday. Certain dates and events are especially hard for my dad now that she is gone. Their anniversary is coming up, and while this isn’t “exactly” a sympathy card, that really is what this is. Thinking of you in your time of need […]
Happy Birthday Art Impressions!
As part of the celebration of Art Impressions 32nd birthday, their monthly challenge this month is Birthdays! I chose to make a card with their Birthday Wishes stamp set. I paired it with a color combo from the July Daring Card Makers challenge, though I didn’t follow their challenge requirements, so I’m not submitting to […]
Missing You Always beach scene
This card is hopefully going to serve two purposes… one, to tell my friend I miss her, and two, for her to re-purpose and send to her daughter 🙂 I was inspired by a color combo for the current challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges. And there are so many beach and summer challenges this week, […]
Ice Cream Hugs
My bestie isn’t a chocolate or cookie girl, so I can’t send her a Hershey bar or homemade chocolate chip cookies to show her I care. Her vice is ice cream, and *that* you unfortunately cannot ship 600 miles away and hope it will hold on a porch in the middle of Florida. Next best […]
Bouquet of Thanks for a Friend
So, my BFF is about to face the biggest challenge of her life thus far… her one and only child, now 18 years old, is leaving for college and not only that, she’s leaving this weekend so she can attend a summer session. She’s going to need something… anything… to make her smile when she […]
CAS Christmas card with Close to My Heart
Today’s card is super quick and CAS. This card was made with the CTMH present stamp from the Jingle Borders stamp set and the sentiment from their Say It In Style set. I chose to go with non-traditional colors for this Christmas card for the Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge as well as a couple […]
Color Throwdown #547

Altenew Hennah Elements March challenge
Squeaking in just under the wire on the deadline for the March inspiration challenge: I used the Hennah Elements stamp set and colored it with Tombow markers (reds 835, 847, 856, oranges 925, 933, and greens 126, 158). I used the Altenew Halftone stencil for the background with Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Seaweed Quartz. […]
MFT Birthday Challenge – You’re How Old?
*Cough, cough* Whoa, sure is dusty around here! Dusting off the blog today to post a card I made for the monthly MFT Birthday Project Challenge. I used the MFT Balloon Strings background stamp and heat embossed in Wow Fine Silver embossing powder. I used MFT Block Happy Birthday Dienamics to cut the letters from […]
