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.

2026: 20 Years- I've Come PAR [Card #162]

Hello, everyone! 
I've got 2 truths and a lie for this card today:
  1. TapeRunner adhesive made this card EASY to make ✅ I LOVE my TR adhesive! I use it for EVERY project!!!!
  2. I LOVE to make custom foiling pieces using my Pink & Main Mini Minc and Cheerfoil (I actually used some leftover foiling from another custom golf card I created for Trav earlier this year!) ✅ I guess that’s another truth- I LOVE using scraps or making twofer cards ✅
  3. I started playing golf this year ❌
Ok- that last one is a lie… I’m Trav’s caddie! It only took me 20 years to get interested in golf πŸ˜‰

We celebrated 20 years of engagement last week [Trav proposed on June 14, 2006- it’s a fun story! Someday day I will share it.]. I’ve had this card planned for awhile, but I was too ill to create it last week. Better late than never… and I guess that goes with me liking golf too😊

2026: SSSIGChallenge - Create a Scene [Card #160]

I'm back, sweet friends! 
I will not lie- when I saw the Simon Says Challenge theme for this month... I cried! I guess that's why this is a "challenge"!!! 
 
I do not make scenes! I just don't! I think it's because it's just too hard for me to figure out how to make a scene. I guess there shouldn't be excuses, but there are🀣

However, I thought about this challenge (in all the senses of the meaning), and I got creative! I had these Erin Lee Creative stencils and created a fun beach scene/sky! I think this works for the challenge! LOL! 

That's it for me today.

2026: Shell-ebrating My Friend's Birthday [Card #159]

Hello, friends! 
It is my friend's birthday TODAY. Unfortunately, she works way too hard, and I was ill... so we missed each other and can't celebrate her special day until this weekend. Shell-ebrate YOU, Julie! Happy birthday πŸŽ‰  

A little background for this card- I was inspired by a card design using some Hero Arts mermaid/crab image and card. I loved the pink background and blue sea so I used that as my base. I had this mermaid image for awhile and decided to color it up. Coloring people/skin/hair.... NOT my favorite! I'm still a newbie! But I think it turned out ok-- hopefully Julie likes it too!!! LOL :) #SavannahLearnsToColor πŸ–️

2026: AGAIN!?!? Another Pet Sympathy Card [Card #158]

Hello!!! 
(sigh) Again... I had to make another pet sympathy card last week. 

My younger brother's dog, Lacy, (same age as my older brother's dog that passed last month- 14 years) passed a week or so ago. She wasn't doing very good, had lots of tumors and lumps. Even though her health was bad, she was a happy little pup! She was a good, good dog! She will be missed❤️
That's it for me today. I really hope I don't have to make ANY MORE of these cards- they are so hard to make!!!

2026: Guest Designer for Creative Worship Stamps

Hello again, sweet friends! 
I'm thrilled to announce that I was asked to be the Creative Worship Stamps Guest Designer for the month of June!!! 
 
I have seen the DT members' creations on FB/IG, and when I got the email asking if I would be a GDT, I was beside myself! What a blessing! 

Here's what I created this month *MORE details will be shared on my IG page throughout the month; all CWS supplies will be listed below
I copied a technique that I shared waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 2014 for the Imagine Crafts YouTube channel! I mixed gel and ink to create a textured paste. Super fun! Check out the video HERE! **Don't mind the bad recording- this was done waaaaaaaaaaay before iPhones and technology that is available today:) 
As you can see, I did a lot of fussy cutting and modern, bright design! I really had fun trying new designs, pushing my creativity! 
  
That's it for me today. THANKS so much to Creative Worship Stamps for this wonderful opportunity to share my creations!!! I can't wait to make MORE and to see what NEW releases you have in the future!!

2026: (sigh) Another Sympathy Card [Card #139-140]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
(sigh) When you see this Erin Lee Creative stamp set on my desk, you *know* I have to make MORE sympathy cards😞  

I used my TapeRunner adhesive to attach the kraft cardstock to the cardbase, as well as the embossed cardstock to the front panel. 
I know that sympathy cards are usually saved for years as family members remember their loved one and there is only ONE adhesive I would use to help my cards stay strong for a long time--- TapeRunner adhesive.  
I pray that this sympathy card brings comfort today and always to our sweet friend who lost her mother a week ago❤️
 
That's it for me today.

2026: TapeRunner With Pink & Main Foil [Card #142]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
#SAVfact (I think this is true... I will have to keep an eye on this to make sure! LOL!): I believe I match my TapeRunner adhesive to my projectsπŸ˜‚

Here's a TapeRunner adhesive fact: this adhesive holds strong with just about ANY paper or cardstock! I've used all the different TapeRunner adhesive on the following: 
  • regular paper
  • regular cardstock
  • patterned paper
  • embossed paper
  • EVO synthetic paper
  • vellum
  • tissue paper
  • and NOW.... foiled paper
I love my TapeRunner adhesive! I use it on ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL of my projects! And I'm not worried about it failing to hold strong!!! What I am worried about is that I need to get more because I'm running out- I have FOMO on my FAV adhesive! LOL!
Back to my project... This card was super easy to make! Follow these EASY steps to recreate this card: 
  1. Use Pink & Main Mini Minc and cheerfoil to create background- my FAV backgrounds are the Prism designs!  
  2. Use TR adhesive to attach foiled background to cardbase
  3. Stamp sentiment on strip of paper and attach to cardbase on the diagonal using TR adhesive 
  4. Stamp and color images, add glitter for extra glam
  5. Add TR adhesive to the center of the images and attach to cardbase; *optional- add a foam dot to each side of dragonfly wings to make it pop 
  6. Finish with a few embellishments

You can see the dimension I created by adhering the CENTER of the bodies using TR adhesive and then adding a foam dot for extra height! 

EASY!

**Don't forget to SAVE by entering SAVANNAH10 at checkout on TaperRunner.comπŸ€‘ 
 
That's it for me today. I hope that you will try some TR adhesive on ALL of your projects and on EVERY paper that you own! Let me know how strong the hold is- I know you won't be disappointed!

This is a beautiful new collection of butterflies, lots of flowers, fable characters, and MORE!!!! 

I was lucky enough to get to play with some of the NEW goodies, and here's what I created [all supplies listed below]: 
It's funny- Heidi said during the YT LIVE yesterday that I probably used the press-n-seal technique to lay these hearts on this card... but I didn't! I placed them ONE-BY-ONE! LOL!

That's it for me today. Be sure to stop by SSS to check out the entire collection HERE! And you MUST take a look at the SSS Always There gallery- there's soooooooooo much inspiration!
