You're In Luck

I love when there's a special holiday in the month. Sometimes the holidays don't really connect with me culturally (just as an example, I'm not Irish) but I love to celebrate them anyway! It gives me a chance to explore other cultures and heck! I want to have a good time too!

The Pretty Pink Posh Lucky Animals is such a fun set! It's got lots of animals and little sentiments that have me thinking of different expressions like You lucky dog! or Lucky Duckie!

All of my cards start the same way! I arrange the images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card base. This allows me to arrange things until I'm happy and has the added benefit of letting me slip different papers underneath to get a "sneak peek" of the finished card.

For this card I chose a simple Distress Ink background. I shaded into the center so the edges are darker. I splattered the panel with water and then some watered down distress ink to add a little more interest.

I'm linking up to Crafty Animals Challenge where critters are always welcome! Hugs and have a great day!

Winter Friends

Hi friends! I hope you're doing well! We're still getting by here and working through some medical issues for DH. Sometimes it's hard to say one day at a time. Now more than ever I appreciate my craft time mostly because I don't get to do it as much as I'd like, and also because it helps me focus on better days. I'm linking up to Critter Crazy Challenge where critters need to be the focus of your design.

My card today features the Pink & Main Flurry of Fun stamp set! It's got some cute polar bears and penguins having snow much fun!

I love that the set includes the critters, accessories and even a few sentiments so pretty much everything you need is in one stamp set.

The pretty papers are from the Chill in the Air paper pack. It's got lots of great winter prints like the cable knit and plaid I used on my card.

Big hugs to you! Stay strong and keep making beautiful things!

Tropical Flowers Postage Collage

Today I'm playing at Beautiful Blossoms Challenge where they want you to say it with flowers. There's also an optional inspiration photo to get you started!

So pretty right? I'm playing along with a card made with the Waffle Flower Postage Collage collection!

This is the Tropical Flowers stencil set that coordinates with the Postage Collage die. I'm still working my way through stenciling. I think I'm getting better with the use of a craft matt that holds everything in place, post it notes and scrap paper to keep each section clean as I work, and detail brushes!

I added some enamel dots to flower centers, and some postage and cancel stamps.

The Postage Collage Coloring stencil set was used to add a soft background to each stamp as well as the striped outer "air mail" edge to the design.

I hope you're having a good day and find some "you" time to make! I'm also linking up to Crazy is Our Fame, Stencils Are Our Game challenge!
