I look for inspiration, in Cristena's amazing sketch from her digital booklet Inspired by the Sketchwhich it has been a game-changer!
For coloring, I used Prismacolor pencils✨ The playful patterns are from the Nutcracker & Cocoa 6x6 Paper Pad, adding a festive touch.
For my card base a use a Kraft canvas, cut to a classic A2 size. I then fussy-cut the colored image and popped it off on top of a embossed circle cut out shape using foam squares.
For the sentiment, colored with the primacolors pencils and cut it in a circle and bubble way. And using vellum I die cut some Snowflakes for the from of the card.
I had such a wonderful time creating this card, and I hope it inspires you to unleash your creativity to create!

Happy Wednesday! Today, I'm spotlighting the NEW RELEASEMeowy Kittymas Clear Stamp Set from Copictopia Creative. It's absolutely purrfect, and I had a blast creating this card with it!
Speaking of inspiration, Cristena's amazing sketch from her digital booklet Inspired by the Sketchwas a game-changer! If you ever find yourself stumped for card layouts, this is a must-have for your crafting stash.
For coloring, I whisked out my trusty Prismacolor pencils, and those sparkly red stars? Glitter pen magic! ✨ The playful patterns are from the Nutcracker & Cocoa 6x6 Paper Pad, adding a festive touch.
The card base? A bright white canvas, cut to a classic A2 size. I then fussy-cut the colored image and popped it off the page with some dimension using foam squares.
For the sentiment, I took a playful approach: diagonally cut, transformed into a mini banner, and aged with sepia ink for a vintage vibe. A touch of gold with a mini bow sealed the deal!
This card was a joy to create, and I hope it inspires you to unleash your inner meow-gical crafter!

Using the color palette TICTACTOE Diagonal featuring (3) hues like Royal, Lagoon and Shortbread, along use Gold and white!
This card features a stunning textured background I created using the "Blossom Field" embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp. I embossed three panels in the gorgeous hues of the latest Color Dare Challenge Blog, adding a touch of dimension and artistry.
A delicate, vellum circle (cut with a dotted die) peeks through, revealing a hint of the colors beneath. To amp up the elegance, I stitched a simple white thread detail across the vellum, adding a touch of whimsy. The heartfelt sentiment "Sending My Love" is heat foiled in gold using a Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil system and die, adding a touch of luxury. The card base is 4.25 x 5.50 Here's a closer look :
I surely enjoyed crafting this card and the outcome is just lovely, using this color combination and using my emobssing folder which I love!

Looking for a heartfelt way for your class to say goodbye to their amazing teacher this year? These two DIY card designs are the perfect way to express your gratitude and leave a lasting impression.
Card #1
I begin with a crisp white base (5"x7") and a bold red panel embossed with a Lattice WorkSpellbinders Embossing folder for a touch of texture. This panel was dramatically cut on the diagonal, creating a dynamic element. Across the diagonal is stamped in black Memento ink using Papertrey Ink's "Alphabet Border" stamp set. To add a pop of color and frame the message, a thin yellow border is added, mirroring the diagonal cut. A bow made with white and gold twine adds a touch of elegance, while I stamped a red apple (the teacher's favorite fruit!) and a touch of Glossy Accents for shine complete this pretty card design. ✨
and then for
Card #2
This card uses the same white base and embossed red panel with a diagonal cut,but this time,a vibrant purple die-cut border adds a playful touch. Three tiny green dots in the bottom right corner.The "Thanks Teacher" sentiment,stamped in black ink in the Papertrey Ink "Notebook Page" stamp,completes the message. Just like Card #1,a red apple and Glossy Accents add dimension,while a white and gold twine bow on the top border finishes the design with a touch of cuteness!
Both cards are perfect ways for a class to show their appreciation for their amazing teacher! a personalize message was added to the inside of both cards.
Here's a video to watch the inside and details picture of both cards...
