Happy Birthday Splatters

Double D has a new challenge theme starting today and it is
SPLATTER .

We have a mood board for inspiration as well as two teams of
wonderfully fun inspiration, make sure to check them out!!

For my splatter card I had a scrap of 'splattered' green paper
making the perfect background for my Poppystamps Marcelle Flower die.
I die cut in all white scraps them blended ink in from my brushes.

The sentiment is Hero Arts Ribbon Messages stamped directly onto
the card front.  A few fun sequins were added.

Come and join our fun challenge theme at Double D!!

Christmas Puppies

It's time for a new challenge starting today at
Peace On Earth!
We have a fun mood board for inspiration but you can use
anything as long as it is Christmas themed!

Some cutie pie animals in the board which made me think of my Katy Sue 3D
puppy cards I created.  I have several different ones but am just posting these two

for now.  Each card below that is shown I have 2 of each.  These cards are 

4 1/2 x 4 1/2 and very 3D.  I have a doodle dog and the one reminds me of when he was a puppy!  Not much more to say about these
cards as you just punch out all the pieces then use a thinner

adhesive pop up in-between all the layers, easy peasy!

BOO

We are two weeks into our challenge at Two Old Bats where we
create for Halloween year round giving you the opportunity to
use your Halloween supplies all year!
We have a fun mood board for inspiration! 

Being May and after a long winter I let all those pretty pink colors

inspire me, yep, you can have PINK Halloween if you want to!
Back in September of 2025 I went a little crazy ordering LOTS of new

Halloween and the cards I created came from one of the pretty new papers

I had purchased from 'This Calls for Confetti' a new company to me.
The 5 1/2x8 1/2 pad had 12 fun designs and two of each which allowed me to make

four cards with one of the designs.  I figured I might as well make four since they were so
simple to create!  There were 2 of the designs on each page which fit an A2 card
front perfectly!!  I loved every single paper design in this pad!

All four of them:

Come on over to Two Old Bats and have some Halloween fun with us,

the design team always has some awesome inspiration as well!

Birthday Wishes

Beautiful Blossoms has a beautiful inspiration photo for May.
I love it as May was my Mom's birthday month and
Lily of The Valley is the May flower  and I always made
her a lily of the valley card for her birthday.
She will have been gone eight years this year and not a day goes by
that I don't miss her!
You can create any kind of blooms, this is just for inspiration!

So, naturally I had to create a Lily of the Valley card using an older die

from Tutti Designs.  After die cutting I colored it in with my Copics.

The underneath piece is a leftover negative from an order I had

to make a dozen cards for, and thought it would make the perfect backdrop
for my flowers.  The sentiment is Altenew.

Hope to see you over at Beautiful Blossoms,

check out all the pretty inspiration from the Design Team while there.

Happy Birthday

 Hello friends, our new theme at The Sisterhood of Crafters is
BANNERS.
We want to see all your fun banners on your creations.

I went a bit of a different way with my banners using my older
Tutti Designs Stitched Nested Banners cut from pretty papers
from Echo Park's Bee Happy papers.

The designs on card #1 is also part of Echo Park's
Bee Happy Ephemera  and the sentiment is Lawn Fawn's
Simple Wavy Banners.

Card #2

I liked this design so much that I created a second card
this time with ephemera from Craft Consortium's 
Amongst the Hedgerow, the sentiment is the same as card #1.

Get those banners out and come and have some
'banner' fun with us at The Sisterhood!

Happy Birthday Balloons

The OPTIONAL theme at Can You Handle The Pressure is
BALLOONS!!

I created a VERY simple card letting the Paper Rose Balloon
embossing folder do the work, embossed on 
Brutus Monroe Tie Dye paper, I think it made the perfect paper
for the balloons, the sentiment is a Spellbinders Betterpress.

We would love to have you join us at Can You Handle The Pressure.
