Hello! Today I have a fun Elvis card…in the Hall of Fame! I’m using a cute little set from Miss Ink Stamps called Thank You Very Much.
Did you know Elvis is the only performer that was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Country Hall of Fame, AND the Gospel Hall of Fame? That’s so cool.
That is what gave me the the idea to create this card. Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:
This is such a fun little set, and I used GOLD and SILVER ink to make those records in the background.
I know the REAL Elvis had dark hair, almost black hair, but I made mine with brown hair to match my color scheme. And I felt like a white jump suit was too plain…so my Elvis has a purple/blue jump suit with a lime green jacket! LOL. Now there’s some color!

Thanks for joining us in the August 2022 Marvelous Monthly Series release!
This collection features daffodils, magnolias, a peony, an anemone, and sweet star balloons. The versatile products can be mixed and matched to create many inspiring projects!
You have to know that I am IN LOVE with the subscription series from Altenew, so I am excited to join in this hop today! I have a bunch of projects to share with you!
Each card showcases a different subscription that Altenew offers: Build A Garden, Craft A Flower, Craft Your Life, and Paint A Flower. [The only one I don’t showcase here is the Mini Delight…so you will hopefully see that one along the hop!]
The first subscription is the NEW Build A Garden subscription. I love this month’s flower: Daffodil! It also comes with a coloring stencil and a blending brush, which makes it SOOOOO easy to put together a beautiful card fast!
I used some of THIS watercolor paper as the mat to really make those flowers shine!
The Craft A Flower subscription might just be my favorite one! It comes with a die set that builds beautiful flowers, leaves, and sometimes includes a sentiment die. Look at that Open Peony flower this set creates! LOVE!
For the background, I used THIS Castle Motifs stencil and dry embossed it for the background, then I lightly inked over it.
The Craft Your Life kit is absolutely amazing…this one has a gorgeous Magnolia & Blooms spray, a magnolia embossing folder, and coloring stencils! Everything you need to create an amazing card.
The Paint A Flower subscription comes with a beautiful stamp for coloring! This time it was this Anemone and I just loved painting it with Zig watercolor markers and colored pencils.
I have a video of all these subscription options and how I put these cards together! Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I love a good foiled background! Today I have a tone-on-tone card to share with you using a favorite stamp set from the last Maker Forte Release.
[Note: I’m sharing all the details HERE at the Maker Forte blog if you want more detailed information on creating this card.]
Those lantern images come from the Christmas at the Cabin stamp set…this set has so many cute images to put together! I paired it with the Christmas naturally stencil to create that foiled background. (LOVE this stencil!)

Hello and welcome to the Bold & Beautiful new release blog hop!
Be bold, and be beautiful! This release includes fabulous florals, a geometric background, and even a set of sentiments perfect for the bibliophile in your life! We know you will love creating all kinds of inspiring projects with the stamps, dies, stencils, and embossing folders in this release. It’s time to get crafty!
I have FIVE + cards to share with you today! This release is SO SO GOOD…and I love these products.
Card 1: Dazzling Dahlia
This Dazzling Dahlia stamp set also has a coordinating stencil to make COLORING WITH INKS so easy! I love the results when you use your favorite ink colors.
I used one of the outline stamps to stamp the background with a bright, birthday pink ink. I stamped another of these gorgeous Dahlias on a separate piece of cardstock and colored it in with some more pink inks! So easy and beautiful! Then I die cut that out and popped it up on my card.
See that birthday sentiment? That’s another awesome product in this release that allows you to stamp and cut A BUNCH of sentiments at once! I used the same pink ink to color this sentiment up.
Card 2: Dazzling Dahlia with Intricate Mandala Stencil Background
I made a bunch of these flowers, so I just HAD to combine one of them with the new Intricate Mandala stencil. This stencil is GORGEOUS! I inked it with some yellow and pink inks. Then I added a butterfly with foil and gems.
Card 3: Happy Flowers & Linear Spiral
I love that they called this set HAPPY FLOWERS, because they are indeed happy! This is a beautiful layering stamp set..and I of course had to ink it in yellows! That linear background stamp is just gorgeous, too.
Notice that hummingbird? Well, of course I had to use that on another card, too. So I paired it with the beautiful stencil.
Card 4: Intricate Mandala Stencil with Hummingbird
Gosh I love that stencil. Here I used some different colors to ink it up and added the hummingbird right on top with some glitter! All these sentiments so far are from the One-Go Birthday Sentiments and die set.
I stamped the background stamp in a pretty purple and added those beautiful Dahlias in blue and purple over the top. Another butterfly here…with a birthday greeting! Those birthday greetings are sure to be my most used set in my stash!! They are brilliant.
Card 6: For the Book lover
I absolutely adore the sentiments in this set!! They have quite a few to choose from and because I really wanted to share one today, I made a simple card using an older snapdragons layering set.

Hello! Today I have 2 Watermelon picnic cards to share using the new August Hedgehog Hollow Kit. This kit is just packed with all things picnic and grilling related…it’s really great!
I have a video sharing everything in the kit, and sharing how I made these two cards. Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:
I loved making these cards, and got some surprising results with glitter paste and then glitter ON TOP of that! I hope you’ll check it out!
Card One
For this card I used the larger watermelon and also the cartoon-like ant. I also chose a couple papers from the paper pack included in the kit to act as our tableclothes.
I think that sentiment is so funny…and perfect for this card!
Card 2:
For this second card, I used the watermelon and ant background stencils. This is the same idea with the “tablecloth” patterned paper. Doesn’t this just look like a picnic waiting to happen?!? (Ants and all…LOL)
Notice the watermelon rinds…I used some neon green glitter paste with some darker green glitter sprinkled on top in spots. This is to mimic the watermelon striped rinds…did you get that?
