2026: A Catch Father's Day Card [Card #163]

Hello, friends! 

I'm back to share a fun pop-up card design using the NEWEST Pink & Main A Catch Pop-Up Card dies--- this is a great masculine card design that could be used for the outdoors man and ANY occasion! 

I decided to go with a green background and water to make the fish colors pop. I really wanted to make a "stripper" type fish... but since I don't know much about fish, this design works for me! LOL! 

This is Trav's Step-Dad's Father's Day card this year. My Dad??? Well... I have an idea for his card but it will be late due to my illness🤦🏼‍♀️

That's it for me today.

THANKS so much for stopping by! MORE to come 💌

Be blessed ❤️

2026: Custom Birthday Card [card #76]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I was recently asked to make a custom birthday card for my neighbor's son. She gave a few things that might inspire me: a sport's team/colors, blue crabs, boating, green/blue, and fishing. 

 

After discussing with her my ideas and what I could do using my supplies... we landed on a fishing theme. She then sent me a photo of her son fishing (one where he had just caught a catfish), and I knew we chose the right theme!

The best part about this card is that my mom helped me create it! This card was due while she was visiting so I pulled her into my studio to help get inky, die cut, and kind of be my sous chef/crafter! Hopefully she had fun making this with me;)  

That's it for me today.

Paper Smooches SPARKS: May Designer Drafts

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! This week we are sharing a DESIGNER DRAFT challenge. 

This week we are inspired by the following sketch:

**Sentiments can be placed anywhere on the sketch.

Ok---so I think I did a fair job with this sketch! I went vertical... made the circle more of a small accent (speech bubble)... eh! Just when I think I'm doing "well" with sketches-- that's when I go off and do my own thing in Savannahland! LOL! 

I created this Thank You card for my favorite trainer EVER! Yesterday was his last day at my gym, and I wanted to let him know how thankful I am for all of his encouragement and training. I am excited for his new adventures... and hopefully I will see him again soon:) 

I used several PS dies including the Retro Arrow, Word Bubbles, and Quote Tag. I stamped the sentiments (which can be placed anywhere on the sketch--- PERFECT! Again, I went vertical!) from the PS Many Thanks set. I think this card turned out great! LOVE LOVE LOVE! 

You can't see it but I used both black and Espresso Truffle (gray) inks for this card- LOVE! 

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs, get inspired, and leave them some love.
