Creatalicious Challenges #243
This month our theme at Creatalicious Challenges is travel (dream destination). My dream travel destination is my backyard with a Lucas Lagoon pool. I would have a lazy river that floated around the backyard. It would be an oasis. It is definitively a dream! Thanks for floating by....

Card with Stencil
I hope you can join us today at Creatalicious Challenges #237 using a stencil. I used two stencils on this card, a cloud stencil and grass stencil along with masking the grills for the overlay look. I used this as a thank you card but it would make a great father's day card too. Thanks for stopping by...

Blank Card for any Occasion
It is time to make another card using items in my stash. This time, I used a stencil in my stash with distress oxide inks. At times, we just need a blank card that we can use for any occasion. I love that it is simple with no words, just a beautiful image. Thanks for stopping by, hope this inspires you to make a blank card too!

Tank You #2
I am having such a great time at finding more and more items in my stash to use. I had colored this fish tank back a few years ago and put it in my box of pre-colored images. The set is Lawn Fawn Fintastic Friends. I love sitting back relaxing playing with my copics coloring. It helps me de-stress from a high paced job and allows me to have images ready to go! I also found this paper in a 9 x 9 pad that paired well with the image and saying. Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a tankful day!

I hope your birthday is on point!
I have a few birthday cards to make for 2022. Once again, I raided my stash including scraps to make this masculine birthday card. I have been having so much fun not buying new products and instead of searching for treasures that are housed in my craft room. Inside the card it says "I hope your birthday is on point!" Thanks for stopping by and I hope your day is on point!

Sweetest Wishes
Diving into my stash once again, it is a thrill! I did not realize how many fun items were hiding out in the craft room. This is a shaker card created using the dies and supplies from Queen and Co. Candyland Kit. I had used this kit in the past, but forgot about the leftovers! It was such an awesome find! I thought it was a fun way to wish someone Happy Birthday this year! Thanks for stopping by and sweetest wishes to you for a wonderful day!

Hello There!
If anyone knows me, they know I love to talk to people on the phone! I really hate texting unless it is for a grocery list or a quick message. I love hearing people's voices and hearing them laugh. It makes for such a more authentic form of communication especially during this pandemic. Again, I shopped my stash finding old 6 x 6 paper pad called My Mind's Eye"Flair" Designer Cardstock and Stampin Up Timeless Talk. It feels so good to use supplies that have been stashed away, it is like discovering new treasures! Thanks for stopping by, and hope you ring up someone so they can hear your voice!

Christmas Thank You Card
As it is pouring snow out of my window this morning, I am inspired by its beauty. There is something magical about snow, and I feel like a child! As soon as I saw this image, I knew it would make the perfect Christmas Thank You Cards. Plus, I could add some puffy snow to the card for a surprise element of dimension. I also went back to and oldie but goodie, colored pencils. I had not used color pencils in ages, and it was fun! I love the softness it adds to the card.
Do you make Thank You Christmas Cards? Do you feel like a child when it snows? Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you are staying toasty and warm!

Christmas Card 2021
I created this card for Christmas 2021 by casing Nina-Marie but decided I did not want a pull tab across the sky for Santa's sleigh to move, instead I wanted some surprise elements. I love this set by Simon Says Stamp Santa's Sleigh Ride. I normally do not invest in the dies, very often. However, when you make 60+ Christmas cards each year, fussy cutting gets tedious, but sometimes necessary. I really wanted a pastel village to give a a retro vibe. I used glow in the dark Nuvo drops to cover the windows and ornaments on the trees. I thought it was fun surprise to have the dimension of the ornaments, and the making the card come to life at night. I added Diamond Stickles for that glittery snow. I distressed the sky putting a soft glow coming from my village. The snow is hand drawn with white gel pen. All the elements are popped up, and I had to add a little glimmer spray to make everything glisten! Thanks for stopping by and enjoying my creation!

Happy, Happy, Happy Anniversary - January 15, 2022
In 2022, I am continuing to rad the stash in my craft room and use some supplies I have never used. I have several anniversary cards to make this year. I decided to use Lawn Fawn Outside in Stitched Heart Stackables set to create a heart background. Instead of cutting it out of colored papered, I used Bristol Smooth Card Stock and Kitsch Falmingo Distress Oxide to create the pink heart. I pulled out a swiss dot embossing folder to give a raised background. Then I pulled out of my stash from 2020 Simon Says Turtle Doves die set and die cut each one three times for added dimension. Then I added these cute little hearts to show the love. Inside, I used a stamp that says Happy, Happy, Happy Anniversary! Thanks for stopping by and create something to show your love!

You're Amazing Birthday Card - January 15, 2022
Off to a great start at using up the craft supplies I have been collecting! Freshly Made Sketches had an incredible sketch this week which worked perfectly with the MFT maze from 2017. I pulled out my white card stock and embossed a swirl panel which is perfect with the maze and added some Trinty Stamp stars to match the star in the middle of the maze to add some shine and sparkle. The recipient of this card will have fun getting the sphere over to the star. The maze is inside an MFT circle shaker and is not bulky. Inside the card, it says "Have an A-maze-ing Birthday". I plan to use the MFT You're Amazing Stamp set to make a matching envelope, and on the back of the card put the answer key to the maze. Here is a close up shot of the maze:
By the way, it feels great to get back into my craft room and use my supplies. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have an A-maze-ing day!

Valentine's Day Maze Card January 15, 2022
When I saw this card design over at Tuesday Morning Sketches, I had to use it! I have been saving up a lot of craft supplies, and decided 2022 was the year for using them and clearing them out of my stash. I bought these MFT Stamp mazes and You're A-maze-ing Stamp Set back in 2017 and this card design gave me inspiration to create a Valentine's Day card that would be fun and interactive. The inside of the card says "My Heart will Always Find Yours, Happy Valentine's Day." Thanks for stopping by and I hope this gives you some inspiration.
