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.

My Sweet Petunia - Team Tuesday on a Friday


To create this card, I started with placing a white panel inside the Original Misti and stamping the flowers and the bunnies. Next, I placed that panel on a Sticky Mat and using the coordinating stencil I colored the images and then cut them out with the coordinating dies.

I placed a light blue panel inside the MISTI and then stamped the greeting on it a quarter of the way from the top. To finish the card, I added some splatter and then placed my die cut pieces coming up from the bottom of the card.

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.
