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!

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.

April's Spellbinders club kit unlocked a world of creative possibilities! that one of the things I love about Spellbinders club kits!!
I channeled the magic of the embossing folder and stencil to craft a mesmerizing background. Using Luscious "Seedless Preserves" and vibrant "Peacock Feathers" Distress Oxide inks mixed across the stencil, creating a panel that shimmered with the joy of springtime. Added a touch of liquid sunshine, courtesy of mysterious watercolor gold ink, splashed across the panel, imbuing it with a touch of unexpected elegance.
The transformation was breathtaking! As the final flourish, a perfectly cut circle framed a heartfelt sentiment, whispering a sweet message on crisp white photo paper. Voila! This wasn't just a cute panel; it was a little piece of springtime magic brought to life! The card base is 4.25 x 5.50

Join me with my latest creation! This time, I was inspired by challenge #595 from the Color Dare Challenge Blog, and the result is this adorable and cute Bunny!

The front panel was embossed on Sage and Flamingo colored cardstock using Spellbinders' Classic Backdrop embossing folder, then cut in half to complete the panel. Here's a closer look at the Bunny:
Balloons were cut out in the 3 selected shades using the dies from the set. After having all the pieces cut and assembled, I

delicacy!
