2026: TapeRunner + Love From Lizi Peacock Note Card [Card #260]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I'm back to share another quick card (and video) that I created using the Love From Lizi Secret Garden kit, which is part of her 10th anniversary celebration kit🎉🎉🎉 

This card was easy to make because everything in this kit matches! I love the metallic paper behind the patterned paper! I love that the patterned paper matches the gold dots perfectly! I love the peacock ephemera! What a fun design! 

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: TapeRunner + Love From Lizi Masculine Shaker Card [Card #251]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I'm back to share another quick card (and video) that I created using the Love From Lizi Secret Garden kit, which is part of her 10th anniversary celebration kit🎉🎉🎉 

 

So... this card was SUPER easy to make! I even recorded the process so you could see what I did... well, I thought I was recording! My goal was to split the recording up into small sections because uploading large videos take forever. I would "start" and then "stop" every 5 mins. Sounds like a good plan... well.... halfway through [which I didn't know] my "starts" became my "stops" and the "stops" were my "starts", which means that I started to record the OFF times of creating--I was cleaning up, moving things around, etc. 😂 Talk about silly! 

So HERE is a quick, funny video I made using what I had from this design!

Here are the steps to create this card: 

1. Cut cardbase to size and die cut a shape in the center (I used a hexagon shape)
2. Add TR adhesive to the back of the patterned paper around the shape; add transparency piece 
3. Use LFL Pin Stripe Peel Off stickers to outline the shape design
4. Die cut the sentiment and add ink to match patterned paper/colors
5. Ink blend a white cardstock piece to place behind the shape design; attach this ink blended paper to the cardbase using TR adhesive 
6. Add foam tape to the back of the patterned paper (around all four edges and around the shape design)
7. Add a few spoonfuls of LFL Sequins Mix on top of the ink blended paper 
8. Remove foam tape backing and attach patterned paper on top of cardbase (sequins mix) -- this is kind of difficult so take your time! 
9. Add ribbon to sentiment and attach to card using foam tape 

This really was a SIMPLE card to make... it's the video I struggled with 😂

That's it for me today.

2026: Playing with Scraps... and Twofer Cards

Hello, sweet friends! 

I was playing around the other day with inking backgrounds. I went with a different color palette- greens, yellows, orange, red, and dark blue. I was thinking "masculine" ?!?! It wasn't my favorite color combo... but I kept going! 

 

I also did different ink blends- linear and blotches. Again... I wasn't a fan but kept going! 

 

After I die cut the sentiment (crooked)... I DEFINITELY didn't like what I was making 🤣 but... I kept going!   

 

I ended up using a few Pink & Main birthday stamps/sentiments... and you know what???? I LOOOOOOOOVE these! 

 

Are they perfect? Nope! Can you see my mistakes? Nope! And does the color combo work now??? Possibly! LOL! 

 

And since I don't throw anything away, EVER--- I decided to make a few cards using the scraps from the sentiment die cut. These are very simple and the image is colored exactly like the other one. EASY! And a #twofer!!!   

I can't decide if I like the inked background or the background scraps MORE! LOL Both sets of cards make me happy and will help me fill up my masculine birthday card stash:)   

That's it for me today.

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: 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.
