I stamped a sentiment with black ink from Simon Says Stamp Sweet Birthday Stamp.  I then used my Tim Holtz Deckle Trimmer to cut my background for fun.  I glued my panel to a gray A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I chose no card bling for this one.  I had fun making this card it's a fun stencil and you do get the negative stencil pieces to mask. So great.  I hope you grab this Chess Stencil.

Happy Birthday Boba Anya Card

 Hello I'm so happy to share my card I made for a couple of challenges.  I love challenges don't you? I chose to make a Birthday Card today.  Without further ado let's get to my card.

On my card, I started out with white cardstock Hammermill 100 pounds.  I stamped Boba Anya and heat embossed her with Versafine Onyx ink and WOW Clear embossing powder.  I colored her in with my Copic markers.  I went with a orange color combo for her hair.  A turquoise color combo for her dress and hair ties and green for her boba.  She has white boots today and white bracelet. Her boba is a neutral brown color.  I then fussy cut her out.

Next, I cut out some white cardstock for a square 3 7/8 x 3 7/8.  I cut out some flowers and leaves as well as a sentiment in cardstock colors to match using Spellbinders DOM Jan 23.  The sentiment reads Happy Birthday it's hard to read it on the photos.  I glued everything to a gray heavy weight card base 4x4.

I will be linking my card to a few challenges.  I had so much fun making this card.

Color Throwdown Challenge

Freshly Made Sketches 689

Sending You A Pocket Full Of Pawsitivity

 Hello I have a card today for the current Inspired By Challenge Denim.  I am personally a denim girl.  I love my jeans. So I was excited by this challenge and of course I could find my denim pattern cardstock but anyhoo without further ado let's get to my card.

On my card, I used a older STAMPtember stamp set collab. with Simon Says Stamp and Newton's Nook Designs called Pocket Full of Happy.  I finally got to use this stamp set yay.  I stamped and heat embossed the image with Versafine Onyx black ink and WOW clear gloss super fine embossing powder. I then colored it in with my alcohol markers and fussy cut it out.  

I was also inspired by the sketch so I used some watercolor paper and my distress watercolor pencils in Faded Jeans, Mermaid Lagoon, and Blueprint Sketch and some water with a paintbrush.  I then cut my watercolor paper with my paper trimmer.  I also cut a A2 size cardstock panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and well as a card base.

I stamped a few sentiments from the same stamp set on white cardstock with Hero Hues Periwinkle ink.  I cut my sentiments with my paper trimmer.  Now it was time to assemble my card, I glued everything with liquid glue and popped up my sentiment with foam tape.  I love how my card came out.  It was so much fun to make.  Such a fun challenge.  I hope you were inspired. 

Hello You Make Me Smile

 Hello I have a card today my main motivation was the Color Hues Challenge #111 Coral and Green.  I think these colors are fun and I immediately went through my stash to see what to make with these 2 colors.  Without further ado here's my card.

I love this CAS card I made.  I finally got to use a Pinkfresh Studio set that has been in my stash for a long while.  So I started off with Hammermill cardstock and stamped my first set of alpha images from the Pinkfresh Studio called Inna's Alpha Stamp set (unfortunately it's retired) using Lawn Fawn Black Licorice ink.  There are 2 large images for the whole alpha.  I needed both stamped.  I used my Misti stamping platform.  

I used the coordinating stencils to ink the letters, florals, and leaves.  I must admit that was fun.  I used inks Pinkfresh Studio Persimmon and Concord & 9th Grapefruit ink for the coral.  I used Concord & 9th inks in Parsley and Evergreen for the leaves for my green.  I inked the letters in Concord & 9th Dove ink for my neutral color.  I then used the coordinating dies to cut the letters out and like the stamp there is 2 large dies.

I arranged my letters to fit on my background die-cut.  I also cut out an extra set of letters with heavy weight cardstock to layer onto for dimension.  The die I used for my background is called Pinkfresh Studio Diagonal Stitched Plaid that I cut out in white 110 pound cardstock.  I glued everything to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I found a sub sentiment strip in my stash and I popped it up with a foam strip.  I embellished my card with Pinkfresh Studio jewels in Bubblegum.  I had so much fun making this card and I even have so many letters ready to go for future cards. I think this card will be for a crafty friend as I have been telling them lately they make me smile and it's true.💖

I also will be linking my card to the Pinkfresh Studio Anything Goes Challenge there is a color inspiration as well.  I will have to try that next time.

Not 2 Shabby June 2025 Challenge Mood Board

 Hello everyone I have a card today that makes me so excited.  I am participating in the Not 2 Shabby Mood Board Challenge for June.  I love the inspiration for this month.  I have been eating so much watermelon lately that I am saying that is my number 1 fruit, so I had to make a watermelon card.  Without further ado here is my card.

So for my card as you can see it's a watermelon card. YAY.  I was so inspired with the question what my favorite fruit was that Teresa asked on the N2S Blog and I literally have been eating watermelon everyday. I bought a huge one and have been cutting a little at a time.  So delicious.  So yes watermelon is my favorite and I love love watermelon smoothies yum.  

Okay to my card.  I used a older Not 2 Shabby paper pad called My Sweet Valentine that I cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I also used the EZ Wonder die 1 to cut my glitter circle out from the same paper pack.

I also used the EZ Wonder die 1 with green cardstock and red foiled cardstock. I love all the strips you get perfect for fast and easy cards.  I cut out a sentiment from the N2S On The Sunny Side paper pack that's new to me.  Love that this paper pad has sentiments.  I downloaded the digital Watermelon Popsicle Stamp on Hammermill cardstock 100 pounds.  I colored it in with copic markers and fussy cut it out.

I glued everything to a A2 card base and popped up my watermelon popsicle with foam tape as well as the red foiled circle die-cut.  I placed a few white gel pen accents and added glossy accents to the seeds.  I had so much fun making this card.  I hope I inspired you to enter the challenge.  You may submit your card up to 3 times for a chance of winning a $15 GC.  So exciting.

Another Fun Dad Card And Not Just For Father's Day

 Hello everyone.  I have a card today for Dads.  Father's Day is around the corner and this New Stencil is perfect for a Dad and not just for Father's Day either.  I used A Colorful Life Designs New Release and feel free to use my code anytime VonFan10 except on Master Creator Bundles.

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.
