Christmas in July

 It's time for the Build your stash holiday cardmakers linky party: Christmas in July.

My first card to link up:

I used the "left over" woodgrain foil piece, from using it on a Unity Stamps toner card front, on a black toner sheet. It turned out pretty cool, but... hard to photo. 

Stamps are Pink and Main. Wood heart die set is Impression Obsession. Other dies are TSOL. I added a Santa hat sticker. 

P&M ocean

 

The Pink and Main July card challenge is Ocean.

My card is pretty simple, but I love how it turned out. 

I used patterned paper and the stamp set Waving Hello from P&M. 

I decided to use the jellyfish from the set. I stamped it onto vellum. I stamped, colored, and fussy cut the flowers from white cardstock. I used dimensional tape under the jelly fish and also under the flowers. I sprayed the whole card with Lindy's Stamp Gang Fairy mist, let dry, then glued a few places of the jellyfish down, but not all so it has the appearance of movement. 

Caffeinated Christmas

I told myself I was sending less Christmas cards this year... it's happening naturally as I haven't been making many....but! Here I am today to link up to the Caffeinated Christmas card Challenge for July!

They've made some changes, so be sure to click the link above to read up. 😊

Here's the card I created:

The cottage scene stamp and girl with coffee stamp/die are Picket Fence Studios. Btw, everything there is 75% off. 😮 

The latte sentiment is Impression obsession and the Christmas is Waffleflower crafts. 

P&M June

 Yes, it's July 1st, but the June Pink and Main June card challenge is open until July 9. 😁

Here's my card. I felt like inking up and coloring these P&M chickens. ♥️

The stencil is not P&M,  but the stamp/die set is along g with the inverted scallop circle die. 

June JB challenge

Hello! I created a card for the June card challenge over at Jaded Blossom Stamps: create a background 😊

I created the background using the Jaded Blossom sunflower stencil and Honeycomb stencil. 

I used the Stylized rectangle die set to create the blue border as well as cut an inside layer piece of vellum to mute the bkg a little. 

I used all the cute new bee items and the cowboy gnome dies set as well as the Farm Scenic dies. 

A Just BEE-cause card 😁

MAY WBW

The May Wood Block Wednesday  ! 

It's been a while since I last played along.  A couple of weeks ago,  I stopped in joann's one last time before they closed forever. There wasn't too much, but one thing I picked up was this pretty feather stamp from American Crafts. 

I used it along with a Stamplorations clear stamp set.

 

May P&M

 The May Pink and Main card challenge is Masculine:

My card:

I used the Cozy critters stamp set and the fall mini stamp set, both by Pink and Main.

 Hello! It's time for the Build your stash holiday cardmakers linky party for Spring! 

I hope to get a few made and linked up, but .... we'll see! As of today, I made this card last night. 

The stamp set is from Picket Fence Studios.

Double stitched rounded corner die is Gina Marie Designs.

I inked the sky with oxide inks and splattered with Dr. PH Martin's for snow. The card base was inked with Lisa Horton Cloud 9 ink onto an already purple cardstock base, so it turned out darker purple and soooo shiny! Which is what I was hoping for, so I'm relieved that worked out. 😁

P&M April Challenge

 Hi! I'm participating in Pink and Main's April card challenge

I used another old court yard kit. Although the bees steal the show with their cuteness, the wreath of flowers is for the challenge. 🌼🐝😊

It's a shaker! 😊
