Hello again my crafty friends. Today, I am over on the Scrapbook Pal blog and YouTube channel sharing Father's Day ideas with the Avery Elle Peek-a-Boo line. No surprise right, I love all the Peek-a-Boo things!
On the Scrapbook Pal blog I give you all the details on how I made these projects, you can check it out right here.
Here is a look at the three projects:
You'll want to visit the Scrapbook Pal blog for close ups and all the details of these fun jungle themed projects.

Happy June! A new month means it is time for a new stamp set of the month series!
This month's stamp set of the month is....... Car Critters by Lawn Fawn!
Each week, on Tuesday, I will be brining you new ideas with this set for the entire month of June!
Today's card is a Flippin' Awesome card. The Flippin Awesome die set, with it's ability to make a waterfall card easy, is one of my favorite interactive cards to make. So, it had to be the first card I made with the Car Critters!
The Car Critters stamp set is a smaller set and a great price point. I have so many fun ideas with this setI can not wait to share them with you!
With each flip of this waterfall style card a new scene inside the car is revealed and this sunset drive evolves as well, as the color of the clouds also change.
In the first scene these little bears head out on a sunset drive or road trip.
They are happy and listening to tunes.
Until someone took a wrong turn.
The map to the rescue, perfect if you don't have cell service on the back roads. Do you see the sunset getting darker?
And then all is right again and we finish with a heartfelt sentiment.
I think this card would be great for an anniversary card, or bday card for a significant other. I left the inside blank so I can customize it when the time comes.
You can watch the making of this card right here.

Be sure to tune back in next Tuesday for Episode Two. I have something fun planned, crossing my fingers that it will work out how it is in my mind!

Hello my stamping friends! Today I am hoping along with the Scrapping for Less design team for the month of May.
I get to help reveal the Flavor of the Month Card kit and share some project ideas. The Flavor of the Month kit is either a subscription box or can be a one time purchase. The kit I am sharing today is the Double Dip Kit with with Banana Split. The Double Dip has 4 collections in it. Take a look at them here and all that comes in this kit.
WOW, right! So much fun in this box!
The theme this month is Let's Encourage One Another. The images and sentiments in this kit are perfect for this theme. Right now is a great time to send a little encouragement to a friend or loved one.
Let's take a closer look at the Easy Peasy Collection and the card I made with it.
The papers in this kit are amazing, so thick, I love them all.
I used all the images in this set to make my focal image and used Copic Markers to color it in. I used several of the printed papers on this card and envelope, there are just too many good ones to choose from.
Another great thing that comes with these kits are card sketches. These are so helpful for getting your mojo going. Here are the four sketches for this months kit. I used the sketch in the top left corner for this card. And since I am making four cards I used each of the sketches.
Now let's take a closer look at the Weather Together Collection.
RAINBOWS!!!! Another awesome thing about this stamp set, it was designed by someone who encourages us all in our paper crafting and coloring endeavors, Courtney Kreeber!
Here is the card I made with this collection using the sketch in the bottom right corner.
You can see that my card is a bit different than the sketch. I find that a sketch is a great jumping off point and as I start creating the card some changes happen and the card goes in it's own direction. Which is why sketches can be so helpful when you are not sure what to make.
Now lets look at the Love Big Collection and the card I made with it.
Look at the big foot! So cute, right! His name is Benny, the Big Foot! I really enjoyed coloring him. And the sentiment in this set, Don't Stop Believing, LOVE!
For this card I used the sketch in the upper right corner.
In the kit there is a stencil set; one with raindrops and the other with clouds. Great for backgrounds! The clouds behind Benny really helped to create the illusion that he is SO BIG!
Last but not least, lets look at the Little Lady Collection up close and my card with this set.
I could not get over the beautiful papers in this collection! And this paper is so sturdy, it feels like you have two sheets in your hand when you are holding one. This collection also comes with several die cut images, I used the black leaves on my card.
This card was inspired by the sketch in the lower left corner. I could not stop using the printed paper on this card, so much fun! Polka dots, plaid and such patterns are my favorite in printed paper. I also used the cloud stencil for this little lady scene, what a big difference a little bit of clouds make!
You can watch the making of these cards in the video below. If you are new to my YouTube channel, feel free to subscribe, I have new video a few times a week.

Hello there my stamping friend and fellow Lawn Fawn fans! Today I am sharing a video that is part of a YouTube hop with some fellow makers who are Lawn Fawn Fans like me! Some of these gals have just started a YouTube channel and I wanted to help support them by introducing them to you. They are all very talented and have great ideas to share with you. So hop along and enjoy the video fun!
This hop is sponsored by Scrapbook Pal! It's one of my favorite on-line retailers to shop at! They are giving away a $25 gift card to their shop! All you need to do is leave a comment on a video in this hop, the more videos you comment on the more chances you have!
For my Spring creation I wanted to use the A Bug Deal stamp set, cause it is one of my faves and so darn cute. Plus, all the critters start creeping and crawling around in the spring. And I have been dying to use the new Lift the Flap die set (dying to use, you caught my funny, right?). Then Lawn Fawn came out with their new Slimline collection and I knew I had to use these for today's card.
Here's the video and below are photos of the card I made.
Be sure to subscribe to these new channels and show some love to these talented ladies, you are going to love their creations!
Here is the card I made.
I have 4 lift the flap elements on this card, a stump, rock, bush and cloud. Each with something fun inside. How fun is that and so easy for an interactive card! The Lift the Flap die set is a fun addition to all your Lawn Fawn images. You could use the rock images as piles of snow for a winter scene!
I used the new Large Slimline die set to cut the front panel of this card for the sky. I die cut a second one of these panels, that measures 8-1/2" x 3-1/2", and ink blended on some Mowed Grass Distress Oxide ink. Then, I die cut this panel again using the Stitched Hillside Borders die set to get my two hills for the front of this card.
I love to play with my Lawn Fawn products, mixing and matching them when I make a card. It makes me so happy that they design so many of the products to work together. The trees on this card are from the Shadow Box Park add on die set. They work great tucked behind the grassy hill.
And I added a little bit to the inside of the card too.
This card would be great for so many occasions, a birthday, a promotion, retirement, a big accomplishment. So, I left the inside sentiment out and will add it when the perfect occasion arrises. And I am able to part with it.
Now it is time to hop along, next up is Neha Tulsyan. She is a just starting to build her YouTube channel and I know you are going to be so glad she is, her creations are beautiful. Watch her video right here: https://youtu.be/vvfjbdCo1Ks

It's the last episode of my May stamp set of the month series! The Rainbow Turnabout stamps set has been so much fun to play with.
Today I am sharing some monochromatic creations as well as turnabout layering!
For today's cards I made monochromatic backgrounds with the Rainbow Turnabout stamp. The best card to see this in the orange card in the center. I made an all orange rainbow panel using 4 different ink pads to create the background panel.
I made panels in reds, yellow, greens, blues and purples as well. I then cut these in to small rectangle to use to make multicolored backgrounds.
I then cut up my monochromatic backgrounds and pieced them back together for this background. But I did not stop there. Once pieced back together I used the Star Turnabout stamp set over the top to emboss some stars in Gold and Silver embossing powder. And this became the background for my shaker card.
The sentiment is from the Joy Tiles stamp and die set.
For the second card, I used the Star Turnabout die set over the top of my background. Once I die cut this turnabout 4 times I adhered gold card stock to the back.
To add a bit more shine to this card I embossed the "joy" sentiment in gold.
The puffy heart is one I had on hand left over from a Valentine kit I got years ago. I thought I was so fun for the dot on the "j".
For card 3 I kept it simple using an orange monochromatic background by itself.
I love that the Joyful Tiles stamp set has two additional images to change it up, like this, turning joy into enjoy.
I think it would be so fun to make an entire monochromatic set of rainbow cards as a gift. And they would be great to give to a friend based on their favorite color.
There are so many fun things you can do with the Rainbow Turnabout stamp set. I hope today's episode gave you another great idea with this set and even with other turnabout sets you may already own.
Here's a look back at the other episodes and links to the video's in case you missed them.
I will be back again next Tuesday with a brand new Stamp Set of the Month series! I hope you will join me for the fun!

Hello my crafty friends it is the 25th and that means it is time for another Christmas card with the Crafty Christmas Club!
Every month the Crafty Christmas Club gets together to make Christmas Cards on the 25th and share them with you in a blog hop!
Take a look at the card I made for this hop.
I wanted to play with the Holiday Helpers stamp set, as I have only used it once to add elves to a Santa scene. So, they needed their own card! I thought they needed to have a wrapping party! I had so much fun coloring all these images!
I made the scene on this slimline card with the help of the Whimsy Stamp die, Slimline Wavy Die. Great for waves and for snowy banks, right!?!
Each section of the cad has another scene of this wrapping party.
I think I used just about every image in the Holiday Helpers stamp set, at least all the ones you can color in. I wanted a couple wrapped gifts for the scene too, so I pulled out the Ho-Ho Holidays stamp set to add to this scene for the presents and the reindeer too.
You can see the making of this card in the video below.
If you are new to my YouTube channel I'd love for you to subscribe, I have a couple new videos each week!

Hello there, I am back with another creation using the Wishing Happiness stamp set from Dare 2B Artzy.
This time I am bringing in some rainbow, because I love all things rainbow. Lately I have been crazy about making backgrounds with strips of card stock. Which is what I used for the backgrounds on todays cards.
The Wishing Happiness stamp set is a perfect match for these backgrounds. There is so much you can do with this stamp set besides color in the images, like stamp and emboss it over a background. I did this in my last post with watercolor and today over my rainbow backgrounds.
For the first card I used 1/2" and 1/4" strips of card stock to create this background. The 1/2" strips are lighter and the 1/4" strips are darker. The finished panel size is 3-3/4" x 5".
Once the background was all adhered together I stamped and embossed the flowers over the top with white embossing powder. I then mounted this to black card stock that is 5-1/8" x 3-7/8". I added the thank you sentiment, also embossing with white across the front panel. This was then mounted to an A5 card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored at 5-1/2").
To dress up both my cards I added Rainbow Drops, my favorite embellishment for rainbow cards!
For card two I adhered my strips diagonally. This time the darker color is the 1/2" strip and the lighter color is the 1/4" strip.
The flowers are in the exact same spot as the first card, thanks to stamping with a stamp positioning tool, but embossed with black powder this time.
The sentiment was cut using my Silhouette Cameo and the Pix Scan mat. This mat is new to me and I love that I can cut out a sentiment like this that there is no die for. But there is a die set for the floral images in this set.
You can watch the making of these cards in the video below.
The other supplies I used are listed and linked for you below. Affiliate links have been used. That means that when you click and shop a link a small commission goes back to the blogger or YouTuber. It's at no cost to you but a great way for you to show support to the maker who inspired you.

Hello my stamping friends. I am excited to bring you Episode 3 of my Rainbow Turnabout series! Today is a fun one! We are not making rainbows!
When my daughter first saw this stamp set she thought it was to make watermelons. So, that is where this idea was born!
Do you see watermelons???
Let's take a look at my watermelon card.
To create the watermelon background I first stamped my Rainbow Turnabout image one time in Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink and embossed it with clear powder. I wanted to set this ink so that I could watercolor in the fruit part of the watermelon with out watercoloring the rind. For the watercoloring I pressed my Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink down on my glass mat and used a water blending brush to water color in the fruit. When that was dry I drew in the seeds with a black journaling pen.
The large watermelon on the front of this card was made using the Brighter Days stamp set, also from Concord & 9th. It was designed to work with the Rainbow Turnabout background and makes for a great watermelon too! The Brighter Days die set has a die for cutting out raindrops that is perfect for my watermelon seeds!!! I love that you can get the Brighter Days stamp and die set in a bundle for a bit of savings, thanks Concord & 9th!!!
Now it is time for another sweet treat, the Popsicle!
This card was a little bit easier than the last. I stamped the Rainbow Turnabout one time with the Picked Raspberry ink and then watercolored the popsicles with that same ink. The sticks I painted on using Tea Stain Distress Oxide ink.
The large popsicle is also from the Brighter Days set. The drips are that same raindrop die! I think the thing that makes these popsicles POP, is the addition of the white gel pen to give them the look of shine.
You can see these cards in the making right here, in Episode 3 of my Rainbow Turnabout series!

Hey there crafty friends! I am excited to be guest designing for the Dare 2B Artzy channel today!
I am sharing with you a stamp set I picked from their shop, one I thought was versatile and fun. It is the Wishing Happiness stamp set.
I love the Zentangle feel of this stamp set. I have tried my hand at this kind of art form and decided I would stick to stamping my images. So, I was excited to play with this stamp set.
For today's projects I thought it would be fun to do something other than color the images in. So, I pulled out my watercolors.
For the first card I did some watercolor resist.
I started by embossing the stamped images with clear powder on watercolor paper. Then I used my Arteza watercolors to apply a watercolor wash over the stamped images. I love the soft look of a watercolor wash.
I also love the look of splatter, which you may have already known, so I added splatters with Gold and Bubble Gum silk to the card.
I added a gold embossed sentiment from the Wishing Happiness stamp set. And to finish off this card, some gold sequins. I did not want to leave the inside blank, so I stamped on of the flowers in Picked Raspberry ink on the inside, you can see this in the video below.
Card two, also has a watercolor wash and embossing. This time I did the watercolor wash first and then gold embossed the images over the top.
To add to this scene, I stamped the solid image from the Wishing Happiness stamp set in Distress Oxide inks, as they stamp so nicely over a colored background. I used; Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves, and Mustard Seed.
I added the same Gold and Bubble Gum silk for the splatters on this card.
The sentiment was stamped with Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide ink and embossed with clear powder.
A sprinkling of Gold sequins finished off this card.
Such a fun stamp set to play with and so many possibilities with it besides coloring in these images.
You can see these cards made in the video below.

In this week's episode featuring the Rainbow Turnabout stamp set from Concord & 9th I am showing you two ways to emboss this image for some fun backgrounds. I'm taking those backgrounds and making 5" x 5" cards with the Oh, Shoot! stamp set, also from Concord & 9th.
You can watch this episode right here:
Now let's take a closer look at the cards.
For the first card I embossed the turnabout with clear ink on white paper with clear embossing powder. Then I used Distress Oxide Inks to ink blend over this for an emboss resist background. It is such a fun background that can be used for any stamp set you'd like to pair with it.
I chose to use the new Oh, Shoot stamp set. Look at that fun camera! I love it and it has an interactive option. The picture image can pull in and out of the camera, I die, it is so cute!
The die cut smile is also from the Oh, Shoot! die set. Doesn't it look good in glitter paper! The addition of the large gems remind me of the old time flash cubes.
CARD TWO
For this background I actually made 5 backgrounds, doing an entire 6"x 6" panel of each color. Stamping each with clear ink, clear powder and embossing it. The raised up shiny rainbows are so cool. Then I cut them into 1" strips to make the background for this 5" x 5" card.
I colored the camera the same and did an assortment of stamped instant picture images around the card, including one mini shaker. Which was easy to make the with coordinating die that cuts out the center of the instant picture image. The hearts inside are from a die in this same set and were die cut from black glitter paper.

Hello stamping friends. Today I am playing with the Rainbows stamp and die set by Avery Elle. You might remember me using this set on my slimline cards with the Peek-a-Boo Fair stamp set. There is so much more that you can do with the Rainbow Stamp and Die set that I knew I would be bringing it back out to share with you. Mostly, I wanted to make shape cards with it. I NEED rainbow shaped cards in my life!
The first card I made is a stand alone rainbow shaped card using all the dies in the set to make an inlaid rainbow.
Each of the bows for the rainbow was die cut from watercolored panels I made in this video. They were left overs that I has saved and made making this card even faster. Since I had already used the red bow in the largest spot I started this rainbow with purple and then continued on with the red and so forth creating the entire rainbow. The clouds I die cut from some glittered card stock to make them a little extra special. This card is very easy to make and fun, like a little puzzle.
For the next card I took this shape card and turned it into a Tri-fold card.
For this card I stamped the Rainbow image on the rainbow shape card and colored it in with Copic markers. Then I added some cute little sloths to the front from the Peek-a-Boo Pals stamp set. Sloths and rainbows go together, right! I mean, what doesn't go with a rainbow?
Then the rainbow opens to the cloudy panel with another sentiment.
This panel then opens and there is a place to write your personalize message. You can see how these cards are made in this video.
All the supplies I used to make these cards is listed for you below.

Welcome my stamping friends, to episode 5 of my Peek-a-Boo Fair series! It's been a fun month of creations with this Avery Elle stamp set, a great addition to the Peek-a-Boo line! In this episode I am jumping in with both feet to do some no-line coloring. Really it's a light line coloring. Meaning, you stamp your images in a light color of ink and use that as a guide to color in your image so that the line goes away and only your coloring remains. For this technique I used Antique Linen Distress Ink to stamp my images. I used stamp from the Peek-a-Boo Fair set, Peek-a-Boo Pals and Market stand for the card. I also brought in Peek-a-Boo Pets for the cute treat holder I made to match my card.
To color in my images I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers on Bristol Smooth card stock. My method is to outline the image with a darker marker and blend that softer with a lighter marker and color that out either with the same marker or a third lighter marker.
You might be able to tell right off the bat, but this card is a 5" x 7". I needed a bigger area to create my night at the fair scene, so that I could put the ticket booth next to the Ferris wheel.
The background on this card was created using PanPastels from the Spellbinders shop. First I put all the hearts and stars from the Peek-a-Boo Fair and Peek-a-Boo Pal stamp sets on one block and stamped them onto Whip Cream card stock with clear pigment ink. Then I applied the PanPastels from the Rich Sorbet collection. The pastel sticks to the ink making the image slightly darker. It's a fast way to create a background, it takes so little pastel to get this look and they blend with almost no effort.
In this photo you can see the gold shimmer on the background, added using Shimmer Gold Splash Spray by Fun Stampers Journey.
To take this card up a notch, I added to the inside of the card as well.
Now let's take a look at the treat bag I made using the Treat Topper die by Avery Elle.
The farm animals have snuck out at night to get themselves a treat! That is cotton candy in my 4" x 6" cellophane bag and not dryer lint, fyi.
I love that this die cuts the perfect bag topper with a little handle. I added a sentiment tag to the handle to finish off the look. The little farm critters are from the Peek-a-Boo Pets stamp set. I LOVE how the little pig turned out. I think I am getting the hang of no-line coloring and will have to keep playing with it.

Today is all about slimline, rainbows, unicorns and watercoloring! Sounds like fun to me!
In Episode 4 I am making slimline cards! My current favorite thing to make! So, you knew there would be an episode with slimlines.
I made two different cards, like I like to do, both using watercoloring to color in my images. And it was so fun playing with watercolors!
Take a look at today's cards.
I pulled out a couple other Avery Elle sets for todays cards, Rainbows stamp set and die set and Peek-a-Boo Balloon stamp and die set as well. I really wanted to make a "somewhere over the rainbow" card. And there is where the unicorn is going in his hot air balloon.
I used my Arteza watercolors to paint all of my images and the sky background as well.
To give them a bit of shimmer I sprayed the sky and rainbow with Avery Elle Clear Shimmer Spray. A pretty easy card to make.
These slimline cards measure: 9" x 8" scored at 4"
The card front layer is 3-3/4" x 8-3/4"
For card two I used the Rainbows die set to make a shaker for the front of the card.
Each of the rainbow strips were die cut from a watercolored panel to give character to each piece. I also used those watercolored panels to stamp my rain drops on.
My shaker elements are from Nuvo, Rainbow Quartz Triangles. I might just adore these little iridescent triangles! I used them in Episode 3 for both of my shaker cards.

Hey there stamping friends! I know it's April and some of you do not want to start thinking about Christmas. But I thought it would be fun to make a Christmas card on the 25th of every month. And little did I know others had this idea too, in fact it's a month blog hop! So, I jumped at the chance to join this hop when they asked if I wanted to join!
Welcome to the April Crafty Christmas Club Hop!
To be honest, I wasn't sure if I would be feeling the Christmas mojo when it came time to sit down and make this card. But then I got a new die, the Slim Fancy Diagonal Stripes die by Pinkfresh Studio. It reminded me of candy cane stripes and my Christmas mojo was in full swing!
For the background, I ink blended a panel that measures 3-5/8" x 8-5/8", which is the exact same size as the die cut Slim Fancy Diagonal Stripes panel.
I used Candied Apple and Spun Sugar for my background. I am not sure why but in the pictures the ink blending has a bit of an orange tint to it, but not in real life. I loved the ombre look this gave to my background. I adhered the ink blended panel to the die cut stripes panel to complete my background.
I then set about stamping, topic coloring and die cutting my images, all from the Sweet Christmas stamp set.
Once that was done I used my Fine Tip 2-Way Glue pen to add glitter to all the images. This gave them a candy like look that I LOVE. It has been so long since I played with glitter like this and I remember how much I love it!
You can watch the making of this card in this video.

I am so excited to share with you a new Spellbinders die set, Sunday Drive. This cute die set creates a convertible car. With all the accessory dies that come with the set you can make cute birthday cards. There is also a coordinating die set you can purchase separately that allows you to create wedding cards with the Sunday Drive set. So, I made a birthday card and wedding card for you today.
Look how cute these little cars are!
Be sure to watch the video for these cards where I show you the die set in detail, what is what and where it goes.
Here is a closer look at both of the cards I made.
I knew right away I wanted to make a yellow card with this set. And I love how it turned out!
And do you see how the trunk opens up! I put some presents in there! I found this die set pretty easy to figure out just by looking at the picture that comes with the die set. I found liquid glue to be the best for adhering these small pieces. It gave me time to situate them where I wanted them. The card itself is pretty simple. I did a little bit of ink blending on the background as well as some splattering to add some shimmer. For the road, I stamped and embossed a sentiment to fill up that empty space. And I found that "Celebrate" worked great for the birthday card and the wedding card.
Now let's take a look at the "Hitched" card.
I love all the added elements in the Hitched die set; the Hitched trunk sentiment, the floral pieces and the cans! Our neighbors are getting married in two days and now I have a super cute card to give them. They are making it simple as we are still in quarantine and having it in the back yard. Bless them and everyone who's had to make changes in their lives to accommodate the current circumstances!
To fill in the tail lights on both cards I used Nuvo Glitter Accents in Winter Cranberry. It's a great red tail light look! The hearts at the top of the card were hand drawn with these same Nuvo Glitter Accents. The flower accents really complete the look on this card, I love little details like this that make a card special. I can't wait to give it to my neighbor, she deserves all the happiness!

In Episode 3 I am making my favorite kind of card, shaker cards with the Avery Elle stamp set, Peek-a-Boo Fair.
For the shaker elements in both of these cards I used Nuvo Rainbow Quartz Triangles. Like kinda look like unicorn horns!
For card one, I brought in the Peek-a-Boo Pals stamp set to go with my Peek-a-Boo Fair set. My unicorn needed some friends to ride the Ferris wheel with him, that is where the sloth and panda came from.
One thing I really love about both of these cards is the Cloud Mat background. If you watch the video you can see how I used this die by Avery Elle three ways to make the cloud backgrounds in these cards.
If you look close you can see the blue sky in the background, that look was created with a little ink smooshing and Distress Oxide ink.
Card two features the Market Stand stamp set, another great set for all your Peek-a-Boo critters.
I turned mine into a kissing booth.
I love the rainbow clouds in the background.
I was brave on this card and hand wrote in the sign with "UNICORN KISSES". Not sure I love it, I wish my hand writing was better. But I am letting go of perfectionism!
You can see the making of these cards in this video.

Hello my crafty friends. I am getting messy in the craft room today. My inner kindergartener is coming out to play. I am doing some finger painting on the Gel Press! No surprise, it was tons of fun!
Since I am showing off the Whimsical and Wild stamp sets today, which are designed by Jane Davenport for Spellbinders, I wanted to combine mixed media with my card making style. When I saw a finger painting video by Gel Press I knew I needed to do that for these cards.
I started by making a swirly background that I could stamp my elephant on from the Elephant Dreams stamp set. Then I would be able to do a bit of paper piecing and not color my elephant the traditional way. You can see the making of the print and cards as well in the video below.
I'd love to know what you think of my elephant, cause I think it's fabulous. Using a Gel Press print give is so much texture, depth and interest that you can not get any other way.
For my second card and the Giraffe Wisdom stamp set, I wanted to make a more intensional print, a giraffe print background. I started by making organic shapes with my finger and brown paint on my Gel Press. I let that dry and brayered over the dried paint with a golden yellow color to pick up the paint. I am so tickled with how it turned out.
To color my giraffe and the girl on the elephant card I used my Journey Color Burst pencils. I like the look of colored pencils with a gel press print.
If you would like to see me finger painting and making these cards you can watch it all in the video below.

When Spellbinders asked me to create with the new Flourished Fretwork line, I knew I wanted to make some bold and bright cards.
What better way to do bold and bright than with rainbow!
To make my rainbow cards I cut some strips of card stock. Some to 1/4" and some to 1/2". I adhered the strips to panels of white card stock and used them to create these cards. Let's take a closer look.
This card features the Ornamental Valance die set, which is one of eight new die sets in the Flourished Fretwork collection designed by Becca Feekan.
With the rainbow strips behind this die cut cover image and the rainbow drops, I see an old fashioned candy shop.
The label on the front of this card was made from the previous card, I love when you can get two cards from one background!
The die cut cover image looks great in the background die cut from white card stock and adhered to a white card base. And every card in today's post is adorned with Rainbow Drops.
This rainbow strip was made using left overs from the background for the first card, so really I got three cards from one background!
The background for this card was made by embossing the Ornamental Valance plate into the card stock.
For the next three cards I used the Rosa Diamonte die set, another the the Flourished Fretwork collection.
I love that with this die set I can use just the frames for a fun graphic card!
Watch the video below to see how I made each of these cards and see these fun new die sets in action.

Hello my crafty friends! Welcome back, today's post is tons of fun! Pictures might not do these fun Tri-Fold cards justice, so be sure to catch the video! Both of today's card feature a unique opening to a Tri-Fold card. I cannot wait to show them to you.
First up, let's take a look at how the Ferris wheel card opens.
With some partial die cutting, the front of this card is the Ferris wheel.
Then you open up the sunset panel to the inside of the card.
And there is a cute critter from another Peek-a-Boo set, Peek-a-Boo Scary Pals set, on the inside.
Moving on to card two.
Love is in the air right here....
When you open the front cover, the bumper car layer, there is a second sentiment.
And a cute little surprise on the inside.
I'd love for you to check out the video and see the making of these cards.

Hello my crafting friends! Today I am here with a fun card. A card designed to send to those I am thinking about during this time of isolation. It is inspired by a roll of toilet paper stamp from the Costume Party stamp set by Lawn Fawn. This is not the first time I have made a card inspired by this exact stamp. In fact I have made two other cards centered around toilet paper. I am not sure what this says about me, except that I like to laugh and make people smile. You can see my previous tp inspired creations HERE.
For today, let's see how we can spread love and happiness with tp!
I had the exact sentiment I wanted in my head, so I went ahead and typed it up and printed it out.
On the outside of the card we see the sweet squirrel giving up his last roll to his dear friend the hedgehog. And hedgehog is trading what he has, an apple.
These cute little critters that face each other with their arms out are from the Festive Feast stamp set by Lawn Fawn. Normally they are sharing a Thanksgiving feast. And I just LOVE that tree stump that also comes in this set!
If you want to see what happened to all the toilet paper in the forest, check out the inside of the card.
A sneaky raccoon stole it all!
You can see the making of this card in this video.
