More Nordic Flowers & a Heart!

Hey everyone - it's the last day for the June Die Cut Diva Color Challenge! You can see today's Diva post here which includes the required color palette.  Below you'll see the card I made for our final day inspiration with all the card details, plus a bonus! You have until 9pm Pacific time today to enter your creation.

Supplies: Paper - My Mind's Eye Lavender;

DCWV A2 card; scraps

Dies - Poppystamps Simple Floral Bundle,

Nordic Drifting Flowers, Nordic Majestic Bloom

(retired at PS but HERE at Frantic Stamper) & 

Teardrop Butterflies (retired but still HERE at Frantic Stamper);

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Other - Altenew enamel dot; foam tape

Our sponsor is Poppystamps who has generously offered a $20 gift card for our randomly selected June winner.

I used a preformed A2 card in the darker reddish color. Added a texty pattern over the lightest palette color that I'd die cut with a stitched rectangle. Added a brown scrap strip. I had leftover Nordic flowers from my previous June Diva cards. I added them to stems & foliage from the Simple Floral set. I also had a leftover Teardrop butterfly so added it. A sentiment strip from the bits box finished the card - the stamp is from an old Hero Arts set & the stitched banner might be from a retired MFT set. It's been in the bits box forever!

Since my Simple Floral set is newly used, I'll add my card to Darnell's June NBUS #75.

Ready for a bonus? Here's a quick and easy card with more simple die cutting, plus some embossing.

Supplies: Paper - DCWV A2 card; 

Neenah Solar White; scraps

& Vintage Scalloped Heart

(retired at PS but HERE at Frantic Stamper);

Embossing Folder - Pink and Main Birthday Wishes

Other - Altenew enamel dots; foam tape

Frantic Stamper is having a going-out-of-business sale & has loads of hard to find items. I don't get anything from them for saying this - I just like Fran & have ordered there many times over the years. Sorry to see them leaving the biz!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day! 

Fun in the Sun!

Happy weekend everyone - hope you're enjoying it! First up, another fun in the sun card:

Supplies: Paper - Recollections & Spellbinders cardstock;

MFT Sand, Surf & Sky; scraps

Stamps with Dies - Hero Arts Studio June 2025 Card Kit

Dies - Spellbinders Under the Sun & Amalfi Breeze;

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set;

In case you don't know, Craft Roulette is a YouTube show airing Fridays at 6:30 Central. Besides weekly challenges from spinning the wheel for parameters during the show, members can also do bonus cards with different parameters that appear on the site each week. This last week it was Z-fold, Any Colors, Old, Something from my "Mesk" (messy desk), plus an optional 5th of Unusual Color. I did a classic Z by folding back the front of a kraft A2 card. Added mat layers of old patterned paper.

I still haven't finished my Spellbinders Weekender cards yet & in fact, "borrowed" the sun from Jennifer McGuire's first card which I had started during the event. Her sun has some rays and it spins on the card - very fun. I'll just make another sun when the time comes...

The girl on a beach towel was an add-on that Spellbinders offered - we all agreed it was nice to see a more realistic figure! I made her during this week's crafty Zoom call - both she & the sun were on my "mesk" (along with a lot of other stuff!). I love the bright color of the sun which I feel is an unusual one; it's called Saffron in the Spellbinders ColorWheel.

The cute little cup also comes in the beach girl set, plus the towel fringe. The set doesn't come with a towel, figuring everyone can form a rectangle. I found the perfect size die in my well-loved AJVD set! Since my beach girl is new, I'll add my card to the June NBUS Challenge #75.

For a bonus, I have my Craft Roulette card from Episode #273 which aired last night:

Supplies: Paper - Recollections; Neenah Solar White

Digi - Angie Blom Camping Adventures 

Stamps w/dies - Lawn Fawn Love You Smore (dies)

Stamps - Hero Arts Bring on the Merry (retired)

Other - foam tape; gel pens; Copics;

sentiment from the stash (old HA)

Host Mary had Justine Dvorak (‪@stationarybyjustinellc‬) as her guest, such a talent! Justine does a process video on her CR cards plus many other card making videos (especially with Spellbinders) which I enjoy watching. Check her out - nice Minnesotan - lives west of me about 2 hrs! The wheel spun some tricky parameters; I didn't finish my card until 90 minutes after the show!!

• Project - Lady's card: I made a birthday card for my sister-in-law; the bear is a lady.
• Colors - Candy Wrapper: Just about any color can be found on a candy wrapper!
• Element - Camp(s)(ing): I used a digital camper image; colored with Copics.
• Random - Belt(s): The camper stripes looked like belts but to be on the safe side, I hand drew a belt on the lady bear.

The camping stamp set that came to mind is at the satellite studio. Darn it! So I went to Angie Blom's website and searched for a camper digi - bingo! Purchased & printed - I expected a smaller print based on my trial print on copy paper. Nope, the minute I loaded cardstock I got a jumbo camper. Oh well - I made an A9 card (8.5x11" cardstock folded in half). That's a dreaded project to get on the wheel but it worked just fine for me!

Next I stamped and die cut the Lawn Fawn elements to add. Colored w/Copics. Found a sentiment in the bits box and popped it on. Besides a belt, I gave my lady bear a bow; this was stamped from an old HA Christmas set & fussy cut - done!

Thanks for stopping and have a crafty day!!

Love Birds Always & Forever!

TGIF & welcome! I'm sharing an anniversary card for my dear friend Connie and her hubby who I call my bro-in-law. It's not until August but I recently got the perfect Spellbinders set!

Supplies: Paper - Spellbinders A2 card;

DCWV Christmas Corrugated; scraps;

Spellbinders Betterpress Porcelain

Dies - Spellbinders Pretty Birds 

Glimmer Plate w/die - Spellbinders All You Need Sentiments

Other - foam tape; white gel pen;

leaves from the bits box (maybe Poppystamps)

I ordered this darling bird set when it was released earlier this month, hoping to get it for a June anniversary. It didn't happen but that's ok. I ended up sending those other friends (I was in their wedding) a previous card; just popped a Happy Anniversary sentiment onto it. When the Pretty Birds arrived this week, I got busy for Connie's August anniversary. 

I die cut all the birdie and perch pieces, plus the flowers & heart from the set. Assembled & then went looking for a suitable background. Patterned paper was too busy. Some solids too boring or too light. Then I happened upon a package of corrugated papers and found a dark green one. Don't the birdies pop on this color and texture? I was going to cut foliage from the same die set but I had a pile of leftover leaves from previous cards. Grabbed those, plus a sentiment strip I'd pressed with a Glimmer plate. 

I love these birdies so much and plan to make a bunch more anniversary cards with them. Since the die set is newly used here, I'll add my card to the June NBUS Challenge #75.

That's it for today, my friends! I'll be watching Craft Roulette in a few hours so will probably have a card from that to share tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping & happy crafting!!

Rudolph on Gift Box

Hi all - I'm back again with my third & final card for Christmas Kickstart Challenge #99 with Christmas Critters. Rudolph takes center stage in a super cute digital image from Whimsy Stamps.

Supplies: Paper - Bazzill A2 card; Neenah Solar White;

My Favorite Things Colorful Christmas

Digital - Whimsy Stamps Rudolph

Stamps w/dies - Taylored Expressions Season's Sweetings (dies HERE);

Hero Arts Gingerbread House Stamp & Cut 

(retired at HA but one left in stock HERE at Frantic Stamper)

Dies - Poppystamps Nordic Treeline;

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Other - Copic Markers; foam tape; white gel pen

When I bought a new printer last fall, I surfed various companies for digital images to have on hand if needed. I found four different files at Whimsy Stamps, Rudolph being one of them. I printed him off, die cut with a stitched rectangle, colored with Copics and matted on red. I applied Glossy Accents to give him a shiny nose.

Added the panel to an A2 card covered with ornament patterned paper. Colored a couple Nordic trees from the treeline die cut and trimmed them off the line to add to the bottom left. While dipping into the bits box for a sentiment, I found a bitty gingerbread cookie so colored it & added to Rudolph's lifted hand. Done!

I'm also sending my card to Darnell's IDEAS where Anything Goes this week. And to the June NBUS Challenge #75 since the digital image is newly used today. 

I'm got my new brakes pads yesterday & had lunch with my friend Connie. Driving to our respective homes we both ran into heavy rain. I live in the east Twin Cities metro & she and her hubby in the far southwest. Luckily - no hail fell on either of us! Much as we need rain, that much in a short time was causing flash flooding & some of my plants took a beating. Oh well, they'll come back...

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!!

Mantle Scene with Reindeer

Hi all - I wanted to get in another card for Christmas Kickstart Challenge #99 where they're doing Christmas Critters. I used a pair of reindeer on a mantle & finished it late last night:

Supplies: Paper - Park Lane A2 card; scraps;

Basic Grey 25th & Pine (from 2013)

Dies - Memory Box Wreath Sprigs 

& Pine Tree Grove (retired);

Waffle Flower Christmas Banners;

Spellbinders Mantle Village & Woodland Scene;

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Other - Copic Markers E11 & 13; foam tape; 

white gel pen; Park Lane gems; HA pearls;

TH Gathered Twigs Distress Ink

I recently ordered the mantle from Spellbinders to go along with the mantle decor set I'd picked up locally. Couldn't find the decor set so used some reindeer from a snow globe add-on set. Added some pine sprigs from a Memory Box set and a pine grove die cut from glitter paper. Gems, pearls and a sentiment banner completed the card.

I'm also sending my card to Darnell's IDEAS where Anything Goes this week. And to the June NBUS Challenge #75 since the mantle and wreath sprigs are newly used today. Finally, I'm playing at Ally's Angels #95 where Anything Goes; I found this challenge through Wendy (Cártaí) who recently joined the Card Chain & is a DT member at Ally's Angels.

Just a quick post - I'm off to get some new brakes pads, then have lunch with a friend.

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!!

Seaside

Happy Monday - I have another summer card today, inspired by the beach portion of the mood board for Just Us Girls #780.

Supplies: Paper - Paper Studio A2 card; 

Neenah Solar White

Stamps with Dies - Hero Arts Studio June 2025 Card Kit

Other - Copic Markers; Glossy Accents; foam tape; 

Hero Arts Sand embossing powder; Versamark ink;

Memento Tuxedo Black ink; HA Blue Hawaii ink

My monthly HA Studio box arrived last week and I made a bicycle card here with some of the elements. I stamped all the rest of the elements and used some new ones today, along with some multiples from last week. I colored the elements I'd selected to feature, including the part of the beach towel I'd trimmed off for last week's card. 

I chose an ombre blue preformed A2 card & swiped Versamark ink across the bottom at a diagonal, masking off the top with a torn piece of copy paper. Embossed it with the sand powder that came with the June kit. Assembled the scene elements and added to the card, some using foam tape. Applied Glossy Accents to the sunglasses and camera. Chose a stacked sentiment from the stash I made last week and added it.

I'm also sending my card to Darnell's IDEAS where Anything Goes this week. And to the June NBUS Challenge #75 since I used some different new items from the June kit today.

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!!

A Trio of Nordic Flower Pots

Hey everyone - it's my day to provide inspiration for the June Die Cut Diva Color Challenge! You can see today's Diva post here which includes the required color palette.  Below you'll see all the card details plus a bonus.

Supplies: Paper - Recollections Coffee & Cream;

Momenta Gemstones; scraps

Dies - Poppystamps Nordic Flower Pots and Stems, 

Nordic Drifting Flowers, Cortina Pinpoint Plate, 

Teardrop Butterflies (retired but still HERE at Frantic Stamper) 

& Basic Ovals

Other - Altenew enamel dots

Our sponsor is Poppystamps who has generously offered a $20 gift card for our randomly selected June winner.

I formed an A2 card from brown card stock that I thought resembled the brown in the palette photo. I cut the Nordic flower pots and leaves from the same brown & assembled. Added die cut flowers. Die cut the cover plate from the light taupe/cream color, trimmed a bit off and added to the card. 

Next I die cut an oval and trimmed off the bottom to make a little hill for my pots. Arranged them on the card and let one tip over. Die cut three butterflies and added them to the card with some enamel dots for the bodies. I left off the sentiment since I wasn't sure how I'd use this card yet.

Since my Nordic pots and flowers are newly used, I'll add my card to Darnell's June NBUS #75.

Ready for a bonus? I'd already started making a card with the Majestic Bloom set when I realized it wasn't available at Poppystamps anymore. Decided to use it for my bonus card since it can still be found HERE at Frantic Stamper! Still used the color palette, this time I included the medium peachy color too (from MFT's Colorful Canvas paper pad).

Simple die cutting and assembly then I added a printed sentiment strip from the stash. I doubled the leaves and curled the added layer for dimension.

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!

Spaced Thanks!

TGIF everyone! Quick post with my card for Craft Roulette #272 which I watched live tonight and created during the show:

Supplies: Paper - Recollections Coffee & Cream;

Tim Holtz Idealogy Menagerie; 

Antiqued Parchment from Hobby Lobby

Stamps - My Favorite Things Vanity License Plate Alphabet

Stamps w/dies & stencils - Pinkfresh Studio 

Blooming Grace: stamps/dies/stencils

Other - Paper Studio gems

Host Mary had Christine Bertram (@CardsbyChristineB) who was making her 12th appearance on the show. Christine does Stampin' Up and teaches a lot of free online classes. As usual, the roulette wheel was spun four times for the parameters we had to use:

• Project - Thank You Card: I created an A7 card with the word THANKS.
• Colors - Flying Kites: Kites are any color so I just used stuff to hand.
• Element - Space: In the chat people mentioned spacing the letters so I did that & put a gem between them.
• Random - High Falutin' Paper: I used some parchment to mat the sentiment.

I started with the sentiment, taking an alphabet stamp set and stamping out the word THANKS, spacing the letters. Trimmed the strip and matted on a piece of parchment paper for my fancy stuff. Formed an A7 ivory card and added a mat layer of TH menagerie paper, then my sentiment. Added gems between the letters. What else to add?? I took an extra flower spray I'd stamped and stenciled for a previous card, cut it in half & added to either side of the sentiment. Done!

That's it for today; I'm attending the CR after party on Zoom. Will be back tomorrow with my usual Diva post. Thanks for stopping!!

Summer Fun on the Beach!

Hey there - I have a summer card today, inspired by the gorgeous weather we're having! Sunny with a high of 82F expected - love it! 

Supplies: Paper - TH Distress Watercolor;

Paper Studio A2 card; Neenah Solar White; scrap of yellow

Stamps with Dies - Hero Arts Studio June 2025 Card Kit

Stamps - Hero Arts/Studio Calico You Are the Best (retired)

Other - Copic Markers; Glossy Accents;

foam tape; Hero Arts Blue + Shimmer Spray &

Sand embossing powder; Versamark ink;

HA Blue Hawaii & Creamsicle inks

My monthly HA box arrived yesterday, just in time to watch their Craft and Create June 2025 with Channin Pelletier. While she made her two cards, I stamped and die cut all the elements in the large stamp set that came in the June card kit. I chose not to make her beach card, instead focusing on creating multiples of the various images & sentiments. I don't subscribe to the stencil of the month which she used on her second card.

This morning I colored the elements I'd selected to feature, including the fun bicycle. I used colors inspired by the mood board for Just Us Girls #780 - so stunning! I was already planning a beach scene so it played right into the mood board too.

I had a dried watercolor panel that I'd sprayed with blue shimmer spray. I swiped Versamark ink across the bottom and embossed it with the sand powder that came with the June kit. Assembled the elements on the bicycle and added to the card with foam tape. Applied Glossy Accents to the sunglasses and bottle. Note: I trimmed off the part of the beach blanket that extends off the rolled part.

Next I stamped what is intended to be part of an award ribbon but looked like a sun to me. Stamped in HA Creamsicle ink onto a scrap of yellow paper. Fussy cut it & adhered to the corner trimming off the excess. Stacked several die cut layers behind the sentiment and added to the sun. I love that this kit has dies for all the sentiments.

I'm also sending my card (3rd and final entry) to the June We Love Stamping Challenge using the Nature Theme & to Darnell's IDEAS since I did embossing for the sand. And to the June NBUS Challenge #75 since all my kit stamps are newly used.

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!!

Numbers and Embossing

Hi everyone - almost summer! We had a nice warm, sunny day today after some heavy rain yesterday. I'm here sharing a card with numbers for Just Us Girls Challenge #779. It's also E equals Embossing week for Darnell's IDEAS program (see her gorgeous inspiration HERE) so I did some dry embossing too.

Supplies: Paper - Recollections Green;

Neenah Solar White; scraps

Stamps - Hero Arts Number Pattern 

(retired but HERE at Frantic Stamper)

Embossing Folder - Pink and Main Birthday Wishes 

Dies - Poppystamps Happy Birthday Streamer Script & 

Brilliant Birthday Balloons;

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set 

Other - foam tape; thread; white gel pen

I was doing some crafty clean up & found a stamped numbers panel from last year. Blended ink on it and die cut with a stitched rectangle, then embossed with a texty birthday background. Ran a green ink pad over top but the numbers still dominate. I also embossed a solid green panel so you could better see the embossing. Added some left over balloons from a recent Craft Roulette card & a sentiment that's the negative of the one I used one another previous card.

The embossing folder is one I ordered recently from Pink & Main; it's getting first play here. I'll add my card to Darnell's June NBUS Challenge 75 & also to Seize the Birthday #307 using the Anything Goes option.

Here's a bonus card with dry embossing. 

Supplies: Paper - Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor;

Hero Arts Bermuda; MFT Summer Splash;

scrap of black glitter; Neenah Solar White

3D Embossing Folder - Spellbinders Joyful Candy Canes

Dies - Simon Says Stamp - CZ Design Merry Christmas

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set;

My Favorite Things Winter Poinsettias

(retired but HERE at Frantic Stamper)

Other - Park Lane gems; foam tape;

iridescent shimmer spray

I started this panel last month when Darnell had E for Embossing. I first die cut watercolor paper with a stitched rectangle and embossed it, then tried to paint it - ugh; it looked terrible! Into the scrap bin it went! Reconsidered & tried adding Iced Spruce Distress Ink. Still not great so into the scrap bin it went again. Reconsidered & I ran a red ink pad over it and spritzed with shimmer spray - deemed it useable. What do you think - was I wrong?

Added the panel to an A2 card along with a poinsettia left over from a previous card. Popped on a sentiment die cut with a new to me SSS die set. Some gems in the flower center finished the card.

Do you like color challenges? Die Cut Divas has one going for June and it hasn't seemed very popular yet. There's a chance to win a Poppystamps gift card if you're interested - check it out HERE.

That's it for today. Thanks for visiting and have a crafty day!

Sweet critters and more cocoa!

Happy Monday! I'm sharing a card for Christmas Kickstart #99 where Jo and elf Dani have chosen Christmas Critters as the theme. Here's my take:

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Solar White;

Paper Studio A2 card; scraps of green;

Spellbinders Betterpress Porcelain

Stamps w/dies - Art Impressions Woodland Critters

Dies - Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders;

Memory Box Pine Tree Grove (retired)

Press Plates w/dies - Spellbinders Merry & Bright Sentiment Strips

Other - Copic Markers; foam tape

In May Die Cut Divas had Art Impressions as our sponsor - one I arranged, being a lover of their stamps & dies. Many sets come with coordinating dies included and for a reasonable price. I recently ordered a few critter sets & was excited to see a challenge where I could use them right away! 

First, I stamped & die cut all the critters in the set. I chose three for this card & colored them with Copics. Next I die cut a couple stitched snow hills and added them to an A2 card. Die cut the pine grove with its snow layer and added to the topmost hill. Added the trio of critters and two pressed sentiments that I cut into pieces. Done!

I'll also add my card to Darnell's June NBUS Challenge #75 since my critters are getting first play here. Love these little sweeties!! And to the June We Love Stamping Challenge where the theme is Nature - a winter scene with critters works there too!

With me for a bonus? I made another card with gingerbread in a cocoa cup. 

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;

Spellbinders A2 card & Oh What Fun papers (green plaid);

Doodlebug Frosty Friends 6x6"

Stamps w/dies - Simon Says Stamp Merry and Sweet Festive Fun;

Taylored Expressions Seasons Sweetings (dies)

Dies - AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set;

Sunny Studio freebie snowflake

Other - Copic Markers; foam tape; 

Stamped, die cut and colored the image. Added a die cut snowflake. Then I went searching for papers, luckily finding a few bits left of Doodlebug. The scalloped layer was stuffed in with the papers - no idea what I cut it with. A TE sentiment finished the card. You can see my previous version here. Let me know in the comments, if desired, which one you prefer. Of course, I love purple so I like this one! 

Oh - and here's a Christmas card count: I'm up to 36 cards already!! So exciting, especially since I've finished the insides on every one of them - usually I'm scrambling to do that when it time for mailing! Do you make Christmas cards all year long? Let me know how you're doing on your stash.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful, crafty day!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to everyone celebrating today! I'm here to share the card I made for my Dad; we'll be heading to his favorite restaurant, Hubbell House in Mantorville MN for lunch. We just dined there for Easter but, hey, it's his special day!

Supplies: Paper Wishes Steampunk Surprise Workshop

Paper - Spellbinders A2 card; Paper Studio glitter

Stamps - Taylored Expressions Many Minis - Holiday (retired)

Dies - AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set;

Hero Arts Nesting Oval Infinity Dies

Other - Black Soot Distress ink

Dad loves trains so I die cut one of the Steampunk workshop panels with a stitched rectangle & added some of the other paper, along with some gears die cut from glitter paper. A sentiment oval completed the card.

While I was at it, I used a motorcycle panel and made a card for a friend's hubby who had surgery. He loves riding his motorcycle and will soon be cleared to ride again! I added the Steampunk panel to a blue A2 card along with some distressed gold gears & a sentiment flag from the stash.

That's it for today. Hope you're having a lovely day and thanks for visiting!

Summer Splash Poinsettia & a Matchbook Card!

Hello and happy weekend! While waiting for Craft Roulette to start yesterday, I made a card for My Favorite Things Color Challenge #12 which began June 11th. When I saw the colors I did a happy dance because I love, love, love their Summer Splash cardstock. Recently got a new package of it (now on notify, sorry)! Here's my take:

Supplies: Paper - My Favorite Things Summer Splash

& Kraft; Hero Arts Bermuda, BoBunny Snowfall,

scraps of chocolate by unk; Spellbinders Porcelain

Dies - My Favorite Things Winter Poinsettias

(retired but found HERE at Frantic Stamper)

Stitched Oval Scallop Frames (retired) &

Blueprints 20 (retired)

Press Plate w/die - Spellbinders Merry & Bright Sentiment Strips

Other - gems by unk; foam tape; HA sparkle lacquer

Sorry, their challenge banner has a lot of white space I can't seem to edit out! Oh well... I started by die cutting the poinsettia & assembling. I added sparkle lacquer to the dots in the center. Next I covered a kraft A2 card with chocolate card stock. Then I used a fave MFT Blueprints set & die cut the scalloped layer from kraft and the stitched rectangle from a BoBunny dotted pattern.

Next I die cut a scalloped oval frame from the rest of my chocolate scrap - not sure what brand but might be Core'dinations. Backed the frame with a texty pattern from the same BoBunny 6x6" pad. Assembled and added a pressed banner & some gems. I love how this turned out!

I'll also add my card to Merry Little Christmas #62 where Anything Goes Christmas; this is my 6th entry (of 8 max). And to Darnell's IDEAS where she's doing DIES this week, plus her June NBUS #75 since my MFT poinsettias are newly used. They came in a card kit that's been sitting around for quite a while - so long, they're retired! Luckily, the dies are still available at Frantic Stamper!

Still with me? Here's my project for Craft Roulette #271 - we had loads of fun last night with host Mary Gunn & guests Amy Wares (‪@amyswares‬) & her daughter Ry! Amy was ill in May during Mother/Daughter month so was taking her raincheck. Both Amy & her daughter are talented artists - Ry's only 15 & draws most of her designs!

• Project - Matchbook card: I used a die to create one.
• Colors - Park: I called it Amusement Park which basically has every color!
• Element - Key(s): I stamped a couple keys in Key Lime ink on my sentiment panel.
• Random - Curved and Straight: The matchbook has scalloped (curved) & straight edges.

Here are more views and a supply list:

Supplies: Paper - Neenah white; 

Recollections green

Stamps - SSS Art Impressions exclusive Christmas Town;

Hero Arts Key to My Heart

Dies - Art Impressions Matchbook Template

Other - Copic Markers; Hero Arts ink;

printed sentiment panel from fall 2024 SCT

You probably need to use a lighter card stock that I used! It stood up nicely when open but I got a lot of wrinkles when I squished it closed. My thumb conveniently covers up the worst of it in the photo - LOL.

That's it for today, friends! Thanks for stopping by & have a crafty day!!
