A Colorful Life Designs May 2026 Release

 Hello everyone. Happy MAY! I'm so excited for A Colorful Life Designs May 2026 Release. This month is so good. Don't forget to use VonFan10 to save.

Here are this months Master Creator Bundles no code needed these bundles are discounted for you.

Birthday Cheers




Let's Get Started:


I chose to use the New Bake Me A Cake 6x6 Stencil. I love this stencil as it also has a sentiment.  This cake looked Mermaid to me and it is Mermay right? On white cardstock I used Catherine Pooler Queen For A Day, All That Jazz, and Lemon Grass minis inks. I then cut my background to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  



I wanted to do something different so I found some vellum kind of ripped and placed it over my sentiment and stapled it with my Tim Holtz tiny attacher.  I placed some fun foam in the back of my panel and glued it to a matching A2 card base.  I added some Opaque Iridescent card bling from A Colorful Life Designs to match, I love this card bling it looks purple in the light too.  And that finishes my card. I had so much fun making this card and I have more to share all month long.  Follow me here on my blog.

So Blessed We Are Inky Friends

 Hello everyone.  I have a card to share using A Colorful Life Designs Newest Release.  Do you love stencils? They are so much fun to work with and I just love them.  Don't forget to use VonFan10 at checkout.  Master Creator Bundles no code needed as those are already marked down.  Without further ado here is my card.



On my card I used the New Mid Century Banners Stencil 6x6.  I love this design.  This stencil reminds me of trees too and you can use it for Christmas and add ornaments or keep it simple. You can add little messages in the banners.  That is a couple of ideas I'm sure there is a lot more.  I chose to keep my card simple.  I used white cardstock and I ink blended in inks Catherine Pooler SeaFoam, Catherine Pooler Polished, Catherine Pooler Shea Butter, and Catherine Pooler Stone Blue in the Minis.  


I used a stited rectangle die from LDRS and cut my background out.  Since I had leftover stenciled paper I cut a border for the inside of my card.



I stamped my sentiment from Hero Arts Stamped Just For You Stamp with black ink.  I then glued my rectangle to a A2 Card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I added some Silver Metallic Card Bling and that finishes this card.  I had so much fun with this card.  I hope you check out the New Release here.

This Mid Century Breeze Squares 6x6 Stencil is so beautiful I think.  On Cream colored cardstock I inkblended the stencil with Catherine Pooler Sea Glass ink.  I cut my background to be A2 size 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I stamped a butterfly rubber stamp from Unity Stamp Co. that was in my random Unity Stamp Co. box.  I inked it with the same Sea Glass ink. and fussy cut it out.

Layered Mermaid Tail and Storm Tossed Waves From A Colorful Life Designs July 2025 Release

 Hello everyone.  I have a fun card today.  I used a New Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs New July 2025 Release.  Use VonFan10 to save.  Code can be used on your stencils and Card Bling but not on Master Creator Bundles. Without further ado here is my card.



I love this New Layered Mermaid 6x6 Stencil.  I love that it's a 6x6 stencil but has 2 layering pieces and negative pieces as well. My tail kinda looks like a Pineapple themed tail ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ It's fun though right?  I started out with white cardstock and ink blended with Catherine Pooler Shea Butter ink for the body and for the tail I used Catherine Pooler Skylight ink.  On the scallops area I used Gold ink.  



I then used the negative stencil tail and placed it over my inked tail.  I used the New Storm Tossed Waves 6x9 (love this stencil too) with Catherine Pooler Stone Blue ink.  My background was cut out with a LDRS stitched A2 rectangle die and sentiment was stamped in black ink using Hero Arts Mermaid Wishes Stamp set.  I glued my stenciled rectangle to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I embellished with some Satin Matte Gold Card Bling to match.

Birthday Card Using The Numbers Stencil From A Colorful Life Designs

 Hello everyone.  I have my last card sample for May from A Colorful Life Designs May Release.  Our Mid Month Motivation stencil Rainbow Roads is still on sale and you can still use my code VonFan10.  I had so much fun this month and I hope you enjoyed this months inspiration.  Without further ado here is my card.



This New Numbers 6x6 Stencil is so much fun for Birthdays and Anniversaries or anything regarding a fun milestone.  I used this stencil for a Birthday Card.  I inked the stencil with white cardstock using Catherine Pooler Royal Treatment, Mandarin Spice, Peppermint Scrub, and Sauna inks.  I love these colors together. Next, I cut my background to be 4 x 5 1/4.



I used a older STAMPtember collab. stamp set using Simon Says Stamp and Hero arts called Make A Wish and I stamped the sentiment and image with Memento tuxedo ink.  I colored simply with my Copic markers. I cut out the image and sentiment using a retired Chunky scalloped rectangle die from Simon Says Stamp. I glued my background to a cream colored A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and popped up my image and sentiment with foam tape.  I embellished with card Bling in Satin Matte Light Purple. I love card Bling.  I hope you grab something fun from A Colorful Life Designs and use VonFan10 to save.  Cannot be used on Master Creator Bundles as those are marked down 20%.  I love how this card came out.  I will be back soon. Hugs.





















Inspired By Freezies Challenge

 Hello I'm so happy to participate in the current Inspired By Freezies Challenge#IB340.  I was inspired by the colors, photo, and sketch.  Without further ado here's my card.






On my card, I used MFT Stamps Pair Of Popsicles Die-namics and MFT Stamps Sunshine Kisses Stamp.  I started out with cutting out a bunch of popsicles 8 to be exact with white cardstock.  I ink blended 4 of them using Catherine Pooler Something Borrowed, Green Tea, Mandarin Spice, and Royal Treatment Mini inks and small blending brushes.  


Next, I cut out 4 Popsicle sticks in white cardstock and ink blended them with Concord & 9th ink cube in Stardust.  I then put my popsicles together sandwiching 2 popsicles together 1 ink blended and 1 white cardstock with foam tape.  I stuck the popsicle sticks in with liquid glue.  I then cut out white cardstock 4 x 5 1/4 and glued my popsicles according to the sketch.  I covered my popsicles with a scrap piece of cardstock and flicked ink splatters with a little bit of water using the same inks as my popsicles onto my panel.


I stamped my sentiment from the Sunshine Kisses stamp with Versafine Onyx ink on orange cardstock and then cut it with my paper trimmer.  I then glued my panel to a A2 gray card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I had so much fun making this card.  Thank you to Inspired by for their fun challenges.

This New fun Stencil is called Love You Dad that's 6x6 and is perfect for a A2 size card 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I chose some gold colored cardstock I believe it's Stardust from Concord & 9th.  I had cut it before inking it so it's 4 x 5 1/4.  I used Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist, Eucalyptus, and Peppermint Scrub.  I inked the letters randomly.  Fun right? Some of the ink smeared but I didn't mind.  You can have kids use this stencil for a fun homemade card for DAD.



Next, I layered my background onto some red cardstock 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I then glued to a A2 card base.  I used a Taylored Expressions sentiment strip from my stash.  I felt no embellishments were needed on this card.  I had fun making this card.  I hope you grab this stencil and others Shop Here .  Code up above.
