On my card today I'm using the New Scallop Fan Shell 6x6 Stencil.  Such a Beautiful Stencil.  On white cardstock I used Hero Arts Caramel and Fruit Punch ink.  I cut my background and glued it to a red 5x5 card base.  

I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment with Versamark ink and Wow Metallic Gold Rush embossing powder on matching red cardstock.  I used a retired Hero Arts Stamp set called In A Pinch.  I cut my sentiment and glued it to my card.  I embellished with some pretty Crystal Opaque Red Hot Card Bling.  I love how this card came out.  It will fit in a 5x7 envelope.  I will be back soon with another card.

A Summery Card

 Hello everyone.  I have a Summer card today for 2 challenges that I just could not pass up. Without further ado here is my card.

I had in my mind to use this Papertrey Ink Beach Bag Stencil for the Inspired By Summer Challenge and I knew for The Color Hues Challenge I had to use Red and White.  So, I chose Neenah Desert Storm paper 80 pounds and ink blended the first stencil which are the bags with Gina K Designs Faded Brick Dye ink cube.  On the second stencil which is for the straps and designs on beach bags I used Gina K Designs White Pigment Dye ink. 

Next, I cut my background to look like the Inspired By Sketch.  I also cut a white cardstock panel to be 4 x 5 1/4.  I stamped a sentiment on a strip like the sketch with the same Faded Brick ink using MFT Stamps PI Sunny Days Ahead stamp set.  Finally, I glued everything to a A2 red card base.   I hope I inspired you to grab what you have and create.  I will be linking my cards to the following Challenges.  I had so much fun making this card and being motivated by these challenges.

I will be back soon with another Blog Post. Hugs. ☺

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 😂 🍍 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.

New Card Sketch for Build Your Sketch Holiday Cardmakers July 2025

 Hello everyone. Happy July and Happy Christmas in July.  One of my favorite months. I have a Holiday card for the New Sketch 59 Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers.  Lawn Fawn is our sponsor this month. YAY! Without further ado here's my card.

I love this months sketch I used some pattern paper 2 designs from my stash and cut them according to the sketch.  I think this sketch is fun and you can mass produce many cards for the Holidays.  I cut out a scalloped circle in white cardstock and colored it in with a Copic Marker as one of my elements on the sketch.

I chose to use Lawn Fawn.  I used the Eat, Sleep, and Be Merry Stamp and Coordinating dies.  It was a older collaboration STAMPtember set with Simon Says Stamp.  I stamped the sloth and word bubble sentiment with Memento Tuxedo ink on Hammermill cardstock 100 pounds.  I also stamped the sentiment in the word bubble with the same ink.  I cut everything out with the coordinating dies and glued everything to a A2 card base 41/4 x 5 1/2. I hope you'll join us this month just link your card to our FB group album.  I can't wait to see your card or cards and you have the whole month of July.

Uniquely Unity And A Challenge

 Hello everyone.  I'm so excited about my card today it's using Unity Stamp Co. and my colors are inspired by the Color Hues Challenge #112 Cobalt and Peach.  Without further ado here is my card.

On my card today I'm using Uniquely Unity Membership for June 2025 called Enduring Connection.  I stamped this rubber stamp on a Manilla ranger tag #8 with Versafine Onyx ink.  Opps I cut the kitty this time but I did get the flowers.  I colored with Karin markers, Altenew size 0 Paint brush, and water.  I also used a Tombow Marker.  After I was done with watercoloring,  I had ink and water on my glass board so I ink smooshed that on my background and I also used my paint brush to color around my image.

When my tag was dry, I noticed my tag was too big for my A2 card so I cut it.  I then wanted the top part of the tag so I cut and glued it on and now it fit the way I wanted it.  I used a Mosaic Flower 6x6 Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs for my background(use VonFan10 to save).  I then used Pinkfresh Studio Peach Fuzz ink cube and a small blending brush on a white 4 x 51/4 cardstock panel.  I stamped a sentiment from the Enduring Connection stamp set with black ink on a strip of cardstock.  I inked it with the same peach fuzz ink as well as a white flower embellishment.

I found some vellum paper in my stash and I decided to use a Tim Holtz distresser cutter and I ripped the edges of my vellum and stenciled background with it. Finally it was time to put my card together.  I popped up my tag with foam tape and the flower had a foam square already in back of it and everything was glued to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I love how this card came out I had so much fun with this challenge.  I hope I inspired you.  Hugs.
