2026: Pink & Main AUGUST Release

Hello, friends!  

It's time for another FABULOUS release from Pink & Main! 

This month's release is full of fall and autumn colors, cute critters, fall themed stamps/dies, and even some Halloween goodies! 

I played with the new foil and embossing powder the most! I loved the colors- mauve and orange! SOOOOOOOOOO pretty! 
 
Here's what I created this month:
Be sure to stop by my IG page for a quick video of how this Leaves and Acorn foiled background SHINES!!! It looks messy with the colored background... but I promise- it's soooooooooooo pretty in person!

This is ANOTHER card to see on my IG page as the owl is on a fun wobbler!!!

2026: Another Sympathy Card [Card #216-217]

Hello, sweet friends! 
I'm beyond sad that I have to make yet another sympathy card 😞 

This card was created by painting a section of paper using a mixture of ink refills and water. I stamped some texts and then stamped/colored (using alcohol inks and oil colored pencils)/die cut the flowers. I also stamped and embossed the sentiment and added gems/thread to finish. 

This is a simple design but hopefully it will bring comfort during this difficult time. 
That's it for me today. Unfortunately, we just found out a sweet, dear friend of ours just passed away, leaving a wife and two kids. He was only 46. I will be making yet another sympathy card soon 😞

2026: Mom's Birthday Card [Card #211]

Hello, sweet friends, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my MOM!!!!! 
My mom's birthday was actually Monday this week... but I couldn't post this until I knew for sure she had received this card! 
This is actually the third [or actually the fourth card] I started for Mom's card design. I had sooooooooooo many ideas and none were working. I wanted this birthday card to be PERFECT! My Mom loves flowers... and yellow... and I think I finally found the design that works best using these supplies [which I mix-matched!]!!! What do you think? Is this PERFECT for my Mom? 
That's it for me today.

2026: Another Special Birthday Card [Card #214]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
I've got another special birthday card to share today--- this one is for Trav's StepMom, Bernice! 

I wanted to create a fun pup themed card because she loves Finn so much, and she has her own two pups too! I wish the pup image matched her puppies more... or Finn more... but I think she will still love the design and get that I tried:) 

That's it for me today.

2026: Pink & Main Monthly Challenge [Card #210]

Hello, friends! 
I'm joining in the FUN with the Pink & Main Monthly challenge. We were challenged to create something SHINY 🤩 

Well... if you know me... then shiny = FOILING! So I pulled out some P&M foiling goodies and created this card.   
EVERYTHING on this card is foiled- the background panel, the flower panel, the flowers, and the sentiment. The only thing I didn't foil and colored was the light green background behind the flower images. 
 
If you look closely, I layered the flowers... #secret: I messed up and my custom cheerfoil cuts moved so I had to redo the flowers:) LOL I think it turned out great in the end! 
 
I looooooooooooove the colors and this design! And it's sooooooooooooo shiny in person- be sure to stop by my IG for a quick reel of how this shines in the light (I'll be posting it later today!)!!!! 
 
That's it for me today. I hope you will join in the fun with the P&M Monthly challenge!!!

2026: A Custom Card for Trav's Co-Worker [Card #213]

Hello, everyone! 
Trav came home the other day and said that one of his techs was leaving this week to move onto dental school. I knew immediately that she needed a custom card! 
You can't see it... but there is some SHINE on this card! I used all Paper Smooches stamps/dies with my Pink & Main Mini Minc machine, Cheerfoil, and Twinkle inks (which is where all the SHINE comes from!)!!! 

I love how this turned out. Trav was pretty impressed as well! And I think his tech liked it too! WIN WIN WIN!

That's it for me today.

2026: A CAS Holiday Card [Card #191]

Hello, sweet friends! 
I made this CAS holiday card in July... but didn't get a chance to post it! I'm only ONE day late... so I guess we will still count it:) 
 
I will be honest--- this card design was supposed to be EASY, CAS.... but adding those little branches on the back of the white tree was a bit of a pain! And then I stamped the sentiment in a lighter green ink... oy! What a mess. 

Overall, I like how it looks. It will work. I highly doubt the person receiving this will know the trouble that went into making this card or see the mismatched greens... they probably will throw it away after the holidays anyway🤦🏼‍♀️ 

That's it for me today.
