Little Wonders

Today I am sharing a card that uses the new Clubhouse set, Little Wonders.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base, a white panel and a panel of patterned paper from the Nature’s Whimsy collection.

I cut out the largest die from the Hexagon Nestable die set in white and the next die down I cut out the patterned paper and glued them together to create a background for the butterflies. I stamped the butterflies on a separate piece of cardstock and colored them using OLO markers. 

To finish the card, I added a greeting to the patterned paper, then added the butterflies on the border.

Today starts a new game at AAA Cards, Game 310 is Anything Goes with a twist of animals. I hope you will play along. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel for the image. I stamped the deer from the Floral Fawn set by Dare 2B Artzy, colored it using OLO markers and then cut it out with the coordinating die. I cut out several pieces to give it dimension. To finish the card, I added a greeting from the Thoughtful greeting set. 

Sending Sunshine March Edition

Todays card is for another Instagram hop that I love to participate in and this one is pretty special. It's the Sending Sunshine which is a spinoff from the yearly suicide awareness hop that we do. There are so many people that just need a little pick me or hug so we send out cards at least once a month or more to let them know they are seen and loved.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a panel of watercolor paper. I stamped the flowers with water friendly pigment ink and then loosely watercolored them using distress inks. To finish the card, I added the greeting and then splattered it using metallic watercolor paint. 

The stamp sets I used are Victory Blooms and The Lord is Near by Creative Worship Stamps.

Todays card is for a hop that I like to participate in over on Instagram. Its a CAS hop where a group of us clean and simple card makers share a card using a monthly theme. March's theme is Friendship. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a white scrap for the sentiment.  I stamped some flowers and foliage on the card base and then added the sentiment using foam tape. I also stamped one of the flowers cut it out with the coordinating die and added it on the corner with foam tape over the other one.

To make this card, I started with a white side folding Base and then used the largest Hexagon die to cut the shaped base. I used Ballet Slipper as the colored base and then cut another hexagon out of white. I stamped the bird image from the Spread Your Wings set, colored it using OLO markers and the cut it out with the coordinating die. I also cut two extra pieces to give it dimension.  On the white panel I stamped the sentiment and added the piece that was diecut.

Today's card is for a hop that I participate in over on Instagram. The ProCRAFTinators Club is a group of card makers who attend in person or virtual events and never make the cards.

My card uses a products from the 2025 Fall Crop & Create event. The products I used are by Hero Arts and the class actually used fall colors with the stencil. Since I didn't get a chance to use the layering stencil durning the fall I turned it into a spring layering stencil by using spring colors. 

The greeting is also by Hero Arts from the SpecialDay Butterfly set.
