2026: TapeRunner One Layer Birthday Card [Card #128]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

Today I'm sharing a ONE layer card that I created for a friend's birthday. 

 

Now--- one layer cards should be easy to make: cut paper, add to cardbase, done. And there is nothing wrong with that... but I like to add a bit more! I wanted to ink the background but leave the image alone so I could color it... and then I wanted to add a bit of glitter... and I needed a sentiment... THEN I could add this panel to the cardbase 😂  

Here are a few steps that I did to create this card: 

I probably spent 30 mins trying to figure out what colors I wanted to use for the base... and in the end, I didn't use two of the colors and cut off one more so the base would fit the card size! LOL! 

I masked the image so I could create a blended background... what I didn't realize was that there would be a white outline around my image because the die cut is a tad bit bigger than the image itself 🤦🏼‍♀️ I was shocked and wondered what I would do to fix this... but in the end... I really liked how this turned out:) 

This is the final step of creating this one layer card- stamping the sentiment and adding it to my cardbase using TapeRunner adhesive. Now that was EASY! 

This card was kind of easy to make but super scary too because I don't normally do cards like this! 

Scary because one coloring or ink blending mistake and I'd have to start over! 

Scary because I didn't know (or realize) my mask would leave a white border! 

EASY because I can trust my TapeRunner adhesive to stick strong and make this card last!!!

2026: Love You SO Much

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I met Trav 21 years ago today, May 22. 

 

I created a custom card by adding custom colored vellum hearts to the cardbase and adding a die cut sentiment. **When I gave this card to Trav this morning, he asked if the background had 21 hearts--- wouldn't that have been clever! LOL! 

 

I thank God for this day often- God orchestrated our meeting... God brought Trav into my life at just the right time... God planted love in both of our hearts (even though I felt it immediately and Trav wasn't so sure)... I cannot thank God enough for Trav ❤️ I am forever grateful for this day and to God for blessing me with MORE than I deserve, MORE than I could ask for, MORE than I could dream of--- Praise the Lord for this blessing and love 🙌🏻 

That's it for me today.

2026: A Special Pet Sympathy Card for my Brother's family- Piper [Card #110]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I needed yet another pet sympathy card this past month- this time it was for my older brother's family as they lost their 14 year old pup, Piper. 

I struggled with this card design (like I always do with sympathy themed cards)... but it was because I wanted to create something that would look like and be like Piper.

I used some Pink & Main stamps/dies, as well as a stencil from The Stamp Market. 

 

I will admit that I messed up the sentiment and had to rethink what to do to cover the mistake up-- I love the way the sentiment is now!   

 

Piper will be  missed 🐾 ❤️

That's it for me today.

2026: Heart Scraps Can Make An AMAZING Card too!!!

Hello again, sweet friends! 

Remember my card that had a house filled with hearts that I posted yesterday HERE? 

Well... this card was created using the heart die cut scraps! I just couldn't throw those scraps away and had to make a card with them! 

 

I love this simple design and that the stacked hearts are colorful! I think this card turned out super cute- for scraps🤪

That's it for me today.

2026: Home = Where WE Are Together

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I'm back with another HOUSE card... this time Trav and I are celebrating 2 years of LIVING in our SC brick home! *We bought the house a week prior to moving all our stuff up from FL. 

I loooooooooooove this color combo! I love the design (I actually get to mark another box off from my Craft Bingo card because this card was inspired by Pinterest!)! I loooooooooooove the custom sentiment- I just wish when I foiled it that my ink was darker and bolder (I need to replace the ink!). 

 

I have another card that I created using the scraps from the die cut heart image--- Be on the lookout and be sure to stop back by to check that card design out👀 

That's it for me today.

2026: Playing in the Studio

Hello again, sweet friends! 

Do you ever just play around in your craft studio? 

 

Playing around and mixing and matching alllllll kind of companies/supplies is one of my FAVORITE things to do!

 

Why? Because I am free to just create. 

Because I don't have an agenda or project deadline. 

Because I can play with color stories. 

Because I can use supplies that I bought YEARS ago that I never had time for before! LOL!   

You can read MORE about this card on my IG page HERE! 

 

That's it for me today. I hope that you will play in your studio today- be sure to share with me so I can leave some love for you!!!

To be honest, I made this card in May 2025 and never posted it! The only thing I know I used was some YourPaperInsider papers!!! Sorry I don't have the list of everything else <3 

2026: TapeRunner + Paper Smooches + Pink & Main + YourPaperInsider [Card #120]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I'm back to share a combo card made from 4️⃣ companies: TapeRunner, Paper Smooches NEW collab with Honey Bee Stamps, Pink & Main, and YourPaperInsider!!!

I am obsssssssssssssessed with making glittered die cut pieces using my TapeRunner adhesive and Pink & Main glitter!!! I had to do it again... however, I only did this technique for the red glittered heart 🙃  

 

The multicolored glittered paper is from YourPaperInsider Box 14 papers- it's so chunky and fun! I also used the White Hemp Flower tissue paper from Box 14- this paper is so pretty and light! It added just the right detail behind my honeycomb design!

And have you checked out the NEW PS collab with HBS!??!? I am in love with Kim's designs- her style is the BEST! I love how this alcohol inked bee looks with the glittered honeycomb! And that sentiment- Kim's handwriting is the BEST!  

That's it for me today.

2026: With You- I'm Home [Card #111]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

Today it's been 2️⃣ years since we bought our home in South Carolina. 

I wanted to create a keychain type of card... so I pulled out a VERY OLD, VERY HEAVY metal key and some jewelry chain. I wanted to make a house the keychain charm, and the Pink & Main Home dies were the perfect fit! 

I finished the charm with a P&M Home Sweet Home sentiment- I truly am home when I'm with Trav. I told him that I could make a home anywhere HE was... and that's true. However, I won't lie... the last two years have been very hard. The good news is that we are strong and doing well- we will get through this hard season and hopefully look back and laugh or smile at how far we've come! I'll keep you posted as to WHEN this happens:) LOL  

 

Here's to our second year owning this SC brick home and to NEVER moving again (maybe!?!? LOL!)!!!  

That's it for me today.

2026: HOA Thank You card

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I was able to mix and match and play in my craft studio the other day! It's so fun to just create:) 

Well... I did have one assignment that was due that I *had* to work on--- I needed a Thank You card for our HOA annual meeting. I was the Vice President for 2025-2026 and am leaving the board, along with the president and secretary. I wanted to give each a card and only needed to make a masculine card as I have TONS of fun TU cards that would work for the secretary! 

I think this masculine paper and design was perfect for our president! I also love that black/white die cut house image--- that's some of my FAVORITE paper:)   

That's it for me today.

2026: Another Butterfly Card [Card #103]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I have ANOTHER card for the Simon Says IG Challenge (things with wings)--- this time I went with a large foiled butterfly design! 

I really wanted the have just the P&M Sketched Butterfly Foilable Panel as the background (because look at it!!!! It's soooooooooo beautiful by itself!)... so I colored just a strip of light blue behind the large foiled and colored butterfly... but it didn't look right. So I went with a few strips of cardstock/washi tape and fussy cut the butterfly... added some confetti... and WOW! This is a beautiful card!!! 

That's it for me today.

2026: 2 Challenges - 1 Card + A How-To [Card #102]

Hello, sweet friends! 

I'm back to share a card that I created for 2 different challenges- the Pink & Main Monthly challenge (cute critters) and the Simon Says Stamp IG challenge (things with wings). Plus, I'm sharing an EASY how-to for foiling specific details or images with the NEW P&M Foil It! Paint & Splatter product! 

The NEW P&M Foil It! Paint & Splatter is a great product to use to create a custom foiled design (I've used it on two other cards HERE). 
 

Here is how you use it: 

1. Use a thin, small brush to apply the liquid to your project/image-- I make sure there is a small glob for great results! **You can see in the photo below that I applied a tiny amount to the strawberry seeds! 
   
2. Let dry!!! This is important! Allow this liquid to dry completely or your foiled design will smear and run, causing the foil to go to places you didn't want it to be! 
3. Apply foil (apply small pressure or rub to make sure it sticks to the liquid) and run through your P&M Mini Minc machine
   
   

EASY! And look at the results!!! It's so fun to use! 

That's it for me today.
