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: 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!

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!

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.

2026: Trav's 46th birthday- MORE greens and irons

Hello again, sweet friends! 
We celebrated Trav's 46th birthday last week and this was his card that I created. 

I wanted a CAS card... but one that had a whole bunch of greens on it. I also wanted a sentiment that was true for his age but also for golf. 
I think this turned out AWESOME! Trav even pointed out that there are 18 greens on the card (if you count even the little slivers at the top! LOL! I must know what I am doing when it comes to golf! LOL!). 
 
That's it for me today.

2025: Foiling Twofer Cards [card #282-283]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
I've said it before... but I'm going to say it again: 
  1. I looooooooooooooooooooooooove my Pink & Main Mini Minc machine- I love love love to foil different elements for my creations! 
  2. And I loooooooooooooooove a good #twofer design! And that's what you get when you foil- a positive and negative design!!! Two cards for the price of one:) 
I love this set of cards because of the NEW P&M Translucent Opal cheerfoil- it makes the background design (from the P&M Winter Poem foilables panels) look like iridescent snow!!! It's sooooooo pretty! πŸ‘€Be on the lookout on my IG stories- I'm going to try and share how this cheerfoil SHINES!!!! 
As for my colroing- I've colored 256 images so far in 2025! That's way more than last year! LOL I don't think I've improved my skills much... but I have learned that sometimes two colors is just fineπŸ–️ I'm hoping to start a new tracker next year--- I already track coloring images and now I need to add foiling! 
That's it for me today.

2025: Belated Birthday Card [card #302]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

As I've said before... I am always late when sending cards out! LOL This time I have a really good excuse thoughπŸ˜‚
Q: What do you do when you are EXTREMELY late sending a birthday card? 

A: You make it SHINE!!!!!!!!

And that's what I did for this birthday card for Michelle, the owner of Pink & Main! I added foil using the regular techniques with the Mini Minc machine, as well as highlight foiling (see center panel), and painting reactive mist to images to get even MORE shine! 
I know I am really late (like 35 days late)... but... 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Michelle

That's it for me today.
