Mid Century Breeze Squares Notecard

 Hello everyone.  I have another card well I'm calling it a notecard using the New A Colorful Life Designs New Release.  Use Von Fan10 to save. Without further ado here is my card.

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.

I glued my background to a A2 card base and popped up my butterfly with a foam dot.  The sentiment was in my stash from Waffle Flower.  I added some Metallic Emerald green card bling and that finishes this notecard.  I will be back soon with another post I would love for you to follow me.

I was so excited about this sketch.  I just received some pattern paper from my MIL she gets 12 x 12 paper packs from garage sales or crafty festivals and so I used some plaid from one of those paper packs for this card.  I also used green and red cardstock papers.  I cut everything gust like the sketch reference.

This girl image is new to me from Unity stamp Co. called Merry Mingle and she is a beautiful angle Girl.  I stamped and heat embossed her on white cardstock with versafine onyx ink and clear embossing powder.  She was colored in with my copic markers.  I then fussy cut her out.  I also stamped and heat embossed my sentiment on the same cardstock.  I cut my sentiment using my paper trimmer.  I glued everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and added some green stickles to her present for fun.  I love sparkle.  I hope you join us this month.

Bear Cards Using Unity Stamp Co. KOM July 2025

 Hello my friends I'm so excited to finally color up this cute Bear Wilder Still who's been sitting on my desk from Unity Stamp Co. KOM July 2025.  With this month almost over yay I made 2 cards using this kit.  Without further ado here are my cards.

I had so much fun coloring 1 bear that I stamped another.

I first started with this card.  I stamped and heat embossed using Versafine Onyx ink and WOW Clear Gloss embossing powder on watercolor paper cold pressed 110 pounds.  I colored with my Tim Holtz watercolor pencils, water brush, and water.  I then fussy cut it out.  

I used some light brown cardstock and ran it through my die cutting machine using a Spellbinders Leaves embossing folder and inking the folder before with Hero Arts Hero Hues Moss ink cube. I cut the embossed background and ink blended with a blending brush from Kat Scrappiness and Gina K Designs Faded Brick ink cube. At first I was going to ink sporadic leaves but I decided to do all.  I stamped a sentiment from the kit using the same red ink and then fussy cutting around it.  I grabbed a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and put my card together.  My embossed background is glued with craft foam and my sentiment with a 1/4 foam strip.  I then added some red glitter enamel dots from my stash.

Here is my next card.  I stamped this bear with Memento Tuxedo ink on Neenah Solar White 110 pounds.  I colored with my Copic Markers and then fussy cut it out.  I used the same embossing folder but using Neenah paper this time and inking the embossing folder with Caramel ink from Hero Arts.  I really love how this background came out.  I cut down my background using my paper trimmer.

I also used Elliptical Oval Dies from Spellbinders with colored cardstock.  I stamped my sentiment with the same ink and cut it to fit with my paper trimmer.  I glued my embossed background wonky to my brown card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 A2.  I also put my oval and popped up foam sentiment wonky too for fun.  I embellished with some gems from Love from Lizi and added some white gel pen accents.  I had so much fun making these Fall Bear Cards.  I love this cute bear.  Now off to hopefully use more of this KOM before the next one comes.

Storm Tossed Waves Slimline Card

 Hello my friends I have a Slimline card and my last card sample of July.  This month just flew by I was having so much fun.  In my card today I used Storm Tossed Clouds 6x9 stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (Use VonFan10 to save).  I love how fun it is.  Without further ado here is my card.

I started out with some dark blue cardstock heavy duty 100 pounds.  I laid my stencil on my cardstock and applied Lawn Fawn Silver Stencil Paste with a spatula.  I then let it try and I love how it came out.  I cut my background to be 3 1/4 x 7 3/4.  My gray card base is 110 pounds is 3 1/2 x 8.

I had a extra strip to glue on the inside of my card for fun. I probably would have thrown it away or kept in my stash until??? So I hope you will do the same next time.

This whale and sentiment die strip came from Spellbinders Advent calendar possibly last years 2024. I just put them together with white, black, and gray cardstock.  I glued everything together with liquid glue and no card bling as I feel the texture was so great from the paste.  I will be back with the August Release.  Follow my blog for more details.  

Make A Splash!

 Hello my friends.  I'm happy to have a card today for the Inspired by...Pool Rings Challenge #IB346. These challenges are just so much fun.  I was inspired by the photo and the sketch.  Without further ado here is my card.

I love This cute older stamp set that I used from Avery Elle called Pool Party.  I stamped my images onto Neenah Solar White 110 pounds cardstock with Memento Tuxedo ink.  I colored the images with my Copic Markers and then fussy cut them out.  I used My Favorite Things Perfect Pool Water 6x6 Stencil on my 4 x 5 1/4 white cardstock panel with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink.  I did rotate it once.

These girls may need a pool each LOL.  I glued everything to a gray A2 card base and stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set with black ink.  I trimmed it with my paper trimmer and adhered it to my card with a 1/4 foam strip.  That finishes my card.  I was also inspired by the colors.  Not sure I accomplished the sketch as the elements are higher but I had fun.

And here is another photo 💗. I hope I inspired you to try one of these challenges.  Hugs I will be back soon with another blog post.

Just Poking By To Say Hello!

 Hello My Friends Happy Monday! I'm back with a card using A Colorful Life Designs.  It's a little weird it not being a Holiday Card 🤣 but we are in Summer and I had so much fun making this card.  Use VonFan10 to save.  If you purchase a Master Creator Bundle you will not need my code as those are marked on sale already at a really great price.  Without further ado here is my card.

This stencil is called Crabbies and it is 6x6.  On white cardstock I used Summer Sky Core ink from Hero Hues Hero Arts.  I ink blended my paper and then laid my stencil down and ink blended the crabs with Cherry ink also Hero Hues ink.  I cut out my background with a stitched rectangle.

I then ink blended just 1 crab with the cherry ink.  I fussy cut it out and gave it some wiggly eyes.  Isn't it cute?? I glued my Crabs to a polka dot pattern slimline paper from Trinity Stamps.  I then glued my Crabs and pattern paper to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I popped up my crab with foam tape and stamped a sentiment from Hero Arts In A Pinch Stamp set with Cherry ink.  I cut my sentiment and glued it to my card.  Blue card bling was added and that finishes this fun Summer card.  I think it's cute and I hope you like it.  You should grab this Crabbies Stencil. 😉 and use my code VonFan10.
