Good Stuff

Spring is finally here! I've been seeing signs for awhile.. the return of migratory birds.. robins, red wing blackbirds, and greenery from bulbs peeking from the ground! Flowers should appear any day!
   
I'm sharing a card today made with Pretty Little Studio Good Vibrations Collection! It's a rainbow of color with a splash of black for contrast!

I used a 3x4" journaling card to create a focal point for the fun blooms. I actually purchased two packages so I'd have lots to play with! They're adhered with adhesive foam tape so they're raised from the background.
The "good stuff" sentiment promises love inside this pretty card to ensure the recipient knows better days are ahead!
I hope you have a great day and time to stop and notice the subtle changes that this time of year brings.

Just Us Girls #768 Anything Goes Stencil Week!

Lucky me! I'm guest designer this month at Just Us Girls Challenge! They always have beautiful inspiration, fun challenges and a terrific design team! The challenge this week is


Anything Goes Stencil Week! There are so many ways to use stencils.. to create beautiful backgrounds, add texture and to color stamped images!

My card features the Waffle Flower Sketched Poppy stamp that I inked with the coordinating stencil set. I layered the completed image over a panel of watercolor paper that I colored with Lindy's Gang Magical Watercolors.

Rather than stamp the uneven cover panel and worry about the impression, I stamped a piece of clear acrylic with Staz On ink and layered it over the completed design.
This on e has lots of layers.. a rectangle frame, and a smaller rectangle matt topped with an Oversized Postage die cut.
The finishing touch was a pre printed die cut subsentiments "sending prayers" sentiment, and a few candy dots!
I hope you find some time to play along with me at Just Us Girls. I think you'll be glad you did! Who knows? You might just be next months guest designer!

Pretty Pink Posh Instagram Hop and Giveaway!

Hi Friends! Thanks for stopping by! It's a great day for a visit! That's because it's Day 3 of a 5 day Instagram hop featuring the new Pretty Pink Posh release!
Spring is in the air, and @prettypinkposh has a new Easter collection. This collection features eggs, bunnies, tulips, butterflies, and more to inspire all your upcoming Easter projects!

You know me.. all about the dies! And my favorite this time is the new Easter Bucket Additions set. This adder allows you to create a chick, bunny or a bucket full of pretty spring posies when you pair them with the existing Candy Bucket die set.

The set includes all the dies you see including the carrots, flowers, and little bow too! The sentiment is from the new Easter Greetings stamp set. The coordinating dies make them easy to fussy cut.
The background is a Pierced Hearts cover plate. I cut the grass in shades of green cardstock with the new Grass Border.
Giveways!
Pretty Pink Posh will be giving away a $30 gift certificate each hop day. Leave a comment by 4/2/25 on each stop for a chance to win a $30 gift card to Pretty Pink Posh. Winners will be chosen randomly from the comments left on each participating designer’s Instagram post. Five winners will be announced on the Pretty Pink Posh Instagram account.
