Girl, You Are Amazing Using A Colorful Life Designs January 2026 Release

 Hello everyone I have a card to share today using some New Stencils from A Colorful Life Designs January 2026 Release.  Use VonFan10 to save.

Let's get started:


I used 2 New Stencils on this card, the stencils I used are  Love Waterfall and Interconnected Circles. Both are 6x6. You can easily make this a Valentine card.  I love all the different sizes  I loved using both and it was fun inking them this way for a different design.  I used white cardstock and Eggplant ink from Concord & 9th.  After inking my stencils I cut out my background with a Lawn Fawn Scalloped rectangle die.



I then glued my background to a A2 card base and added a sentiment from Taylored Expressions and purple card bling in Opaque Iridescent Dark Purple.  I love how this card came out.  Check out the New Release here.

Inspired By...New Years Challenge And Sketch

 Hello everyone.  Merry Christmas.  I hope you are having a wonderful Holiday. We have a New Inspired by..Challenge #IB368 and the theme is New Years and we have a new fun sketch too. Don't forget to tag inspired_by_challenge on the socials. #inspiredbychallenges

Well let's get started:






I thought this snowman digital stamp called Snowman Party from Sweet November Stamps was perfect for this challenge.  I was inspired by the colors, theme, and card sketch.  I had this snowman image printed already and so I colored him in with the theme photo colors in mind using my copic markers. I then fussy cut him out.



The numbers I cut out from Lawn Fawn Oliver's Stitched 123's die set.  I used textured black cardstock.  The embossing folder I used is Tim Holtz Numbered that I ran through my die-cutting machine with white cardstock.  My embossed panel was cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I then used a gold ink pad and glided it down my embossed numbers.  I glued everything to a A2 card base with my snowman popped up with foam tape.  My card design was designed with the card sketch in mind, so much fun. Voila my card is completed.

On my first card, I used Mama Elephant Gingerbread Cookies stamp set.  I stamped these cute cookies on Neenah Solar White 110 pounds with memento tuxedo ink and then colored them with my copic markers. I then cut the cookies as squares like the sketch.  I also used The Crafty Stamp Co. for the cute pattern paper that was cut 4 1/4 x 51/2. Everything was glued to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.



On my 2nd card, I used Oh What Fun Kit from Doodlebug Design.  I recently won this kit and the cuteness is 100% love it.  The panel of pattern paper that I used is from a different Doodlebug Design paper pad but I felt it matched well.  I cut squares of the ginger pattern paper from the Oh what fun kit and added Ins and Outs die-cut pieces and then added a sticker from the kit. Everything was glued to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I had so much fun creating these cards.
