2026: Color Blocking... Kind Of [Card #298]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
I wanted to join in the FUN with the Creative Worship Stamps monthly challenge, hosted by my friend Flora--- color blocking. 
 
I'm not sure I did it though! I was thinking the color blocking could be postage stamps that are different colors with different colored hearts. I feel like this card fits the challenge but is more of color-blocking, repetition, and geometric in design. 
You know what matters most? I had fun creating this card 🙃

That's it for me today.

2026: NEW Birch Tree Series- Halloween [Card #295]

Sweet friends- I'm happy to be back sharing another Birch Press Design project!!! 
This is my 4️⃣th design in my NEW series for Birch Press Design using the Block Print Birch Tree die! 

My first card was summer themed (HERE); my second card design was also a fall theme- kind of when the leaves started to turn (HERE); I welcomed fall again with a warm watercolored design where the Birch Trees are the statement and there is no need for a sentiment as my thrid card (HERE). And now the Birch Tree forest is getting SPOOKY🦇
 
I also used partial die cutting to create a custom bat image using a CHRISTMAS ornament!  
 
Be sure to stop by the BPD blog HERE to all about this NEW spooky take on the Birch Tree dies, as well as some tips for partial die cutting!!! 
 
That's it for me today.

2026: TapeRunner and Breast Cancer [Card #296-297]

Hello again, friends! 
I have CASED myself TWICE for this card! 
 
Remember THIS TapeRunner tutorial on how to add glitter to paper using TR adhesives? And you probably won't remember THIS card that I created from 2017... 
 
Well, these two posts are what inspired this card for today! I wanted to use my TR adhesives with a finer glitter since in my tutorial I used a chunky size glitter. And let me tell you---- both glitters adhere well to the paper using TR adhesives; however, the finer glitter sticks 100% better! I will definitely be using finer glitter for this technique in the future!!! I love how this fine glitter looks! And it was easier to die cut! LOVE!!!!
You can see that I added TR adhesives to the section of the paper with the red box. I rubbed my finger over the glitter to make sure it was attached well, and that's it! TapeRunner adhesive made this SUPER easy!!!
It's unfortunate that we have to deal with cancer... this card is for a friend who was just diagnosed with breast cancer. I pray that she is lifted up and that the Lord heals her completely! 
That's it for me today.

2026: Finally- Two Birds, One Stone [Card #279]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
I'm back with another card that I *THINK* fits the two challenges I mentioned in THIS post! LOL!
 
I normally don't make Halloween or Fall themed cards but I couldn't resist making this card after making the background design {see my IG post HERE for the FULL stencil background design photo!}. 
I am in loooooooooooooooooooove with how this card turned out! I love my coloring- I used Ohulu markers and I feel like it looks better! Maybe it's just me... but as a newbie I feel like these markers make me look a step above newbie🙃

I love the stenciled background (I did cut a piece out of the center to reuse since it was going to be covered up all the way! I just couldn't waste that beautiful stenciled piece!)! I love that foiled paper- that penny cheerfoil is PERFECT! I love the colors and the splatter and the images!!! I LOVE it all! 
If you want to know MORE about this card and the challenges I entered it into--- check out THIS post! 
That's it for me today.

2026: Two Birds... Only One Got Hit By A Stone [Card #269]

Hello, sweet friends! 
I saw that the Pink & Main monthly challenge and Simon Says Stamp IG Challenge were BOTH Halloween themed so I thought I would make something to join in the fun! 

Two birds with one stone- right? 

Well... not really! I misread the P&M monthly challenge! It's a Fall Foliage theme 🤦🏼‍♀️ That's ok though- I'm still going to enter this in the SSSIGChallenge😉
For my card I created a Halloween gum ball machine with some fun candies and confetti! What a fun Halloween shaker card-- And I don't even like Halloween!!!!!!!!!!! 

That's it for me today.

2026: I CASED Myself and used TapeRunner Adhesive [Card #271-279]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
#SAVfact: I have CASED card designs or print images before [Copy and Selectively Edit]. I usually am inspired and then make the design my own or use the supplies I have on hand- that's selectively editing:) 

However, this time... I CASED [Copy and Share Everything}... MYSELF! I mixed and matched several products that I had and created this CAS sympathy card.
 
I am trying to get ahead and make a few sympathy cards to have on hand, plus my Mom ordered MORE sympathy cards. I thought this card design was perfect! 

This is the easiest card to make because all you have to do is:
•cut and attach the base using TR adhesive
•cut, stamp, emboss, and attach front panel using TR adhesive
•add embellishments
SUPER easy😍

This really was a SIMPLE card to make and you can see how I made it in my IG video HERE!
That's it for me today.

2026: Pink & Main OCTOBER Release

Hello again, sweet friends!
 **click HERE for the IG GIVEAWAY and hop!!
 
Today is the Pink & Main October release! What a great set of goodies for this month- think snow, winter, and fun!!!! 
 
Here's what I created using this month's goodies! *I have a feeling I will be making even MORE using these foiling sheets and panels! I just love a good foiled image/design!!!! 
You can see in the photo above that I used the cover die to create a homemade stencil in which I used OVER the embossed design! SO FUN!
These little critters were colored using my NEW Ohuhu markers. I am still learning how to color... and I'm not sure on color combos yet (NOTHING I read about has the right color names for my markers)... but I like how they turned out. I love that winter sign too with the embossed snowflake! 
TIP: I used an exacto knife to cut the INSIDE of the notched square die cut- I just followed the inside of the die with the knife and created a custom frame:) 
I am in loooooooooove with how different each of my creations are! This NEW release from Pink & Main is PERFECT for just about any crafter, level, and for all the winter cards you need to make!  

That's it for me today.

2026: Pastor Appreciation Month- Thank You [Card #267]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
October is Pastor Appreciation Month. 
 
Trav and I were not "pastors" but we stood in as ministry leaders for many years and know the hard work that goes on behind the scenes, throughout the week, and on Sunday. We know ministry work is hard work. We also know that all your work is for God and His kingdom... and that you might be appreciated... and that the job is thankless (or it's very rare to even get a "thank you!"). 

That's why we try to thank our pastors as much as we can. 

This card was custom made- mixing and matching different supplies. I wanted a water effect so I used Pink & Main water gems to create the background. I also wanted a school of fish referencing "fishers of men". To achieve the fish look I took a school of fish stencil and used white ink. I love that the fish are subtle! And then I die cut and embossed different sentiments to finish the design. 

A simple thank you that will go a long way and hopefully bring joy to our pastor's heart! 
 
That's it for me today.
