Happy Sunday afternoon, everyone! I’m absolutely thrilled to share with you a mixed media card that emerged from the parameters of last Friday’s Craft Roulette. It marries the talents of the exceptional designers: Gina K, CC Designs, Lawnfawn, and the ever-inspiring Tim Holtz. While I regret not capturing a step-by-step photo journey, I assure you this is easy to make.

The sentiment panel is a merger of Gina K’s wreath builder with the imprints of Lawnfawn’s stamps – specifically, the Fairy Friends, Critter’s Down Under, and Claire’s ABCs sets. I chose to use inks from Versamark, including Versamark Clair in Green Oasis and Tulip Red with the sentiment in Onyx Black.

To make the background, I searched and found a captivating green tie-dye motif that set the tone for my card. I added vines sourced from the TH/ Sizzix Garden Greens collection to infuse some of nature’s greenery.

A bit more cutesy than Uma Thurman, my Poison Ivy is supplied by CC Designs. She was stamped in Memento Black Ink and was brought to life with Copic markers. Her hair is adorned using E07, E29, R27, and R46; her complexion is a blend of E21 and E51; her attire is a harmony of YG06, YG13, and YG17. And to elevate her presence, a sprinkling of Garden Party by Sprinkletz gives her added enchantment.

May your Sunday be blessed with Inspiration!

Hello, crafty peeps! I hope you’ve had a tomb-rific time unwinding lately. Those Tim Holtz addicts are in for a sarcophagus-full of joy! Allow me to unwrap the process for you: the eerie elegance of a 3D Skull embossing folder creates a mysterious background when combined with BlackSoot Distress Oxide Ink. My main mummy was summoned with Versamark Onyx Black Ink and painfully excavated with an Exacto blade. With a touch of foam tape, string and adhesive, it was bandage bound to the background. My “craft roulette” rounds, cleverly double as delectable offerings found inside the jack-o-lantern. As for the message, it was typed on my vintage 1929 Underwood and sliced with TH’s Deckle Trimmer. A touch of TH’s paper border and black card stock & you’ll be ready to call it a wrap.

Time to tuck into our Linnen Wrapped Dreams while I fade into the sands of farewell.

I’m super excited to share this delightful Barbie pink card based on the same layout as my “999 Happy Haunts” design.

For this fun creation, I delved into my stash for some delightful supplies, including the adorable MFT Stamps’ Unicorns and Glitter set and the reliable Memento Black Ink. The magic doesn’t stop there—coordinating paper from DCWV’s “Unicorns and Rainbows” 12×12 cardstock adds a charming touch, while lovely pink paper from Gina K adds a splash of sweetness. And to bring these unicorns to life, I worked my magic with trusty Copic markers!✨🦄🎨
