Inspired By...Birdies

 Hello everyone.  We have a New Challenge over at the Inspired by...Blog.  This week it's Birdies #IB394 and a New Card Sketch. You have almost a week to get your card submitted. 

Let's Get Started:

I was so inspired by the colors, birdies, and card sketch. I almost painted some rocks and drew faces like the inspiration photo but I went simpler.  I seen this birdie stamp set in my stash from CC Designs called Cute Birds Stamp and Dies. I stamped 1 image with Memento Tuxedo ink on white cardstock as 2 were stamped and die-cut already. I colored with my alcohol markers similar to the inspiration photo. Next, I cut out the bird with the coordinating die.

I had a MFT Die set called Hanging Branch, which was perfect. I cut out the branches with brown cardstock and the leaves with heavyweight green glitter cardstock. I cut out a white panel 4 x 5 1/4 and glued everything with liquid glue. I carefully stamped my sentiment with Tuxedo black ink and my stamping platform using the CC Designs stamp set. I then layered my white panel on a blue 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 cardstock and glued to a brown A2 card base. Lastly, I used a white gel pen for the birds eyes and added some glossy accents to the birds glasses and to all the birds eyes. I love how this card came out.

I hope you join us!

Inspired By...Boo Challenge

 Hello everyone.  I'm so glad you are here.  We have another challenge for the Inspired by... Challenge #IB357 and this week it's BOO and we also have a fun sketch.

Hello I was inspired by the sketch, pumpkins, sentiment, and of course polka dots. I used a New MFT Stamps set that I just had to have called Turkey Day.  I love this cute Fox.  I love the pink pumpkins in the Inspiration photo so I added some black dots to one of the pumpkins.  I stamped my images onto Hammermill cardstock with black ink and colored them in with my alcohol markers.  I then fussy cut them out and put them to the side to work on my background.

I cut out some polka dot pattern paper from my stash as well as some white cardstock.  I probably could have used a different color so it looked more like the sketch? Oh well.  I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Unity Stamps {Boo} To You stamp set. I cut my papers with my paper trimmer and glued them to a A2 pink card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  That finishes my card.  

I hope you'll join the Inspired By...BOO Challenge it's so much fun.  You have about 1 week.  Have fun and I can't wait to see what inspires you!

Another Card Using Adjoining Moons Stencil From A Colorful Life Designs

 Hello everyone.  I have another card using the Adjoining Moons Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs New Release.  Use VonFan10 to save.  Also we have Master Creator Bundles no code needed and a Mid Month Motivation Stencil on Sale for $4.

Without further ado here is my card...

I love this stencil Adjoining Moons 6x6 Stencil.  It has 2 moons and 2 stars.  I didn't capture the stars on my last card so therefore another good reason to use this great stencil again for another card. On blue cardstock 110 pounds, I ink blended the moons with Hero Arts Shadow ink in Soft Pool. I ink blended the stars with hero Arts Butter Bar ink cube.  I then put the masks over my moons and stars included in the stencil.  I ink blended around my stars and moons with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink.  

I then cut my background with a A2 stitched rectangle die from Kat Scrappiness Fall Frame die set.  My sentiment was stamped on white cardstock from a older MFT Stamp set called Sky High Friends using black ink and then I cut it to be a fishtail banner. I also stamped a bunny image with Memento tuxedo ink and colored it in with my Copic Markers.  I  then fussy cut it out.  I glued my background to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I popped up my bunny image and sentiment with foam tape. I then added some card bling from A Colorful Life Designs in Opaque Iridescent Lemon Yellow.  I love how this sweet card turned out.  I hope you grab it and don't forget my code up above.

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.

I Still Pick You Using Broken lines Stencil From A Colorful Life Designs

 Hello everyone.  I have a card today using a Beautiful stencil from A Colorful Life Designs that I believe can be used for any Occasion.  Use VonFan10 to save.  Without further ado here's my card.

I love this Broken Lines 6x6 Stencil.  It's

from the April 2025 Release and I had to have it.  I did think of bamboo when I seen it but I decided not to do that this time for this card.  So, on white cardstock I used a Victorian Velvet Distress ink cube.  I cut out Spellbinders Sealed Twine die with Rose Gold Metallic Glossy cardstock from Simon Says Stamp.  I then cut out Spellbinders Sealed Blooms die with white cardstock and inked it with the same distress ink.  I colored in the leaves with my G0.1 OLO marker.  My background was cut to 4 x 5 1/4.

I have some wax seals ready to go using some metal wax stamps and wax.  I thought this heart was cute.  I glued everything to a gray A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  My sentiment was stamped from MFT Stamps Little Love Notes and cut out with MFT Stamps Sentiment Strips dies.  I popped my sentiment up with a foam strip.  I added some pretty card bling to match in Crystal Metallic Rose.  It's really pretty.  I hope you grab this stencil and use my codeVonFan10 to save. ☺

Spring Card Using Savannah Girl

 Hello and Happy Spring.  I have a card today using Savannah Girl from Unity Stamp Co. who is a Angie Girl by Angie Blom. I fell in love with this set when I saw it.  I might have shouted out loud.  And of course I hurried and made a card with it when I received it.

I first stamped and heat embossed Savannah Girl rubber stamp on x-press blending cardstock using Versafine ink and clear embossing powder.  I then colored her in using my alcohol markers.  Next, I cut my paper using my paper trimmer.  I then ink blended with some blue ink left on my blending brush from a previous project.  

I then used a notebook edge die from MFT Stamps.  I also used a foiled plate background from my stash.  This one is from Aly Syberia called Glowing Geometry using black foil on white cardstock.  The floral pattern paper is from Catherine Pooler that I cut to use as a layer.  The Clouds die is retired from MFT Stamps called Petite Clouds that I cut out with white cardstock. 

 Lastly, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the Savannah Girl stamp using Versamark and white embossing powder on blue cardstock.  I fussy cut around it to fit better.  Next, I glued my foiled background to a A2 card base.  I also glued my floral pattern paper from Catherine Pooler's A Little Drizzle Paper Pad.  I popped up Savannah with foam tape and I popped up 2 clouds with foam tape.  My sentiment was also popped up with foam tape.  Everything was glued with liquid glue.  I love how my card came out, it was a lot of fun.
