Isn't this month's cute stamp called Nestled Hearts so cute???? I love it.  I stamped this sweet image on Neenah Solar white 110 pounds with Memento Tuxedo ink.  I then colored it in with my alcohol markers.  Next, I fussy cut it out.  

I also stamped a sentiment from the stamp set with black ink on white cardstock and then cut it with my paper trimmer.  The pattern papers are from Unity Stamp Co.  a free gift they sent me.  I used the Scallops & Rectangles die to cut the largest scalloped rectangle out.  I glued everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I love how my card came out.  I'll hopefully use this stamp real soon.

Sending Love Notecard Using the Scalloped Harlequin Stencil From A Colorful Life Designs

 Hello I'm back with a card using A Colorful Life Designs.  I had used a bunch of New to me stencils that had been release with the last few months.  Some must haves that I had to have and this one was definitely a must have.

Next, I then stamped a butterfly with Concord & 9th ink in Sorbet and my sentiment with black ink from Simon Says Stamp using Vintage Love Notes Stamp set that was part of a card kit.  I also stamped a Paris postage stamp with black ink.  I cut my background to be 4 x 5 1/4.  and glued it to a brown heavy weight A2 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base.  I added some pretty Opalescent Peony card bling and that finishes this card.  I had so much fun making this card.

Cottage Roses Pattern Paper And Ephemera For A Quick And Beautiful Card

 Hello everyone.  I thought it would be fun to join a couple of challenges before this month ends. Not 2 Shabby has a May 2025 Monthly Mood Board Challenge and I really love this months Colors and inspiration. I'm also loving the Top Inky Sketch #32. So, I made a card using the Not 2 Shabby Cottage Roses Collection.  I just love how beautiful that collection is.  I also recently watched the Cottage Rose Retreat and that was a lot of fun. Without further ado here's my card.

Isn't this collection so cute??? I love it, it's so perfect right? Right up my alley.  So I used the Not 2 Shabby Color and Mood Board Inspiration.  I also used Crystal Minkler's Top Inky Sketch Inspiration #32 which helped me make this cute simple card.  

I cut my papers from the Cottage Roses 6x6 Paper Pad according to the Top Inky Sketch #32.  I used the Cottage Roses Ephemera   I added foam tape to the back of the shirt, shoe, and cup.

I used some cream paper to incorporate that creamy color from the color inspiration.  I also wanted some red to match so I used Hero Arts Hero Hues core ink in cherry with a Unity Stamp Co. Rubber Stamp for my sentiment.  The sentiment came from Uniquely Unity by ang Blossomgram monthly stamp from March 2025.  

I glued everything to a A2 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 heavy weight card base and added some glitter pen to the roses on shirt, shoe, and rose on cup.  I love how this card came out and I hope you do too.  If you would like to join these challenges you still have time. 

Hugs, Von Marie 💗

 Hello everyone.  I'm so excited to share another Holiday card for Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch 57.  I love the squares, it gives options of using those smaller images from stamps or maybe ephemera. 

I love this card.  On this card I chose to use some pattern papers from Papertrey Ink and Joanns. I will miss Joanns.
