Happy Tuesday, Everyone! I do like to play online games a bit every week. This creation is a take on Randy Jade from the game Dialtown. The pattern is my own & I used thread from my stash. Randy’s head is an old Nokia cell phone; all the characters in the game have phones for heads. Randy has had bad luck, was evicted from his apartment, and now lives in the dumpster.

Happy Monday, Everyone! I created a new card inspired by Cinderella’s Castle. Although you don’t see unicorns outside her castle, you do see horses routinely in front of the castle. All the dies are from lawn fawn. Everything was cut with white card stock and inked with Distress Oxide inks. Enjoy!

Hi everyone! Welcome to another month on the Park Hopping My Happy Place Challenge. Thank you for joining us for last month’s challenge, and we hope you can join us this month, too.
This card was inspired by the Wizarding World of Harry Potter’s Owl Post. You can visit the Owl Post at Islands of Adventure, Orlando, FL, USA.
This card was a fast and easy card to make. Lawn Fawn’s Special Delivery and two heart stamps from other Lawn Fawn products (I’m afraid I don’t remember them) paired with Gina K’s wreath builder. Get out some black & red ink and stamp away. This is a great card when you need something in a pinch and don’t have much time.
Park Hopping is hopping over to a new land for inspiration this month, Epcot in Orlando, FL, USA. Park Hopping pictures are for inspiration only. Any entry inspired by any theme park anywhere in the world is welcome.

Happy Thursday, everyone! I am sharing bunches of daisies today. I am pleased to announce that this set is part of the design team cards for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge starting today at 1pm. My elements are encouragement, yellow, and a matching envelope. My card was inspired by one made by Kulbir for the new Stampersanonymous release; and my envelope was inspired by my Flower Fairy card.
Why not tiptoe over to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge and check out the amazing creations from the talented design team members.
Back to making….
These are actually very easy and fast projects.
The card: Using white card stock, cut your white border to 4.25in x 5.5in and emboss. Cut your inside layer from the same white card stock using the deckle trimmer. Trim Posit-it tape using the deckle trimmer; this will give you the jagged edge to your coloring. Use the cut Post-it tape to create a white border. Stamp using black ink. Color the background using a Copic Marker and the flowers with watercolor pencils. Stamp your sentiment with embossing ink on black cardstock and emboss. Cut a yellow background layer and apply your layers to your black card base.
The envelope: Using yellow cardstock, create an envelope base. Fold the envelope to allow it to fit into your stamping platform. For this technique, you stamp the image twice, once before and after painting. I find it easiest to leave the envelope on the platform while I paint to avoid poor realignment. I stamped with ink, painted the petals with acrylic paint, allowed it dry, and stamped a second time. Repeat for the other corner.
*Technique note regarding stamping platforms. I did not find this technique to work on my Misty platform, as the stamp has to fall off the edges of the envelope, and Misty needs to be bigger for this to happen. If you have the Misty platform for scrapbooking, it will work beautifully. I used the Tim Holtz platform, as you can allow parts of the envelope to be off the platform, and held the envelope in place with low tack tape.
Supplies used:
Cardstock: White White by Fabiano, yellow and black from the stash.

Hello, everyone! Eden here bringing you a Mother’s Day Card with a vintage vibe. Emily is taking a long journey on her bike and is thrilled to see a strawberry field. She dismounts her bike, picks a few berries, and has a feast fit for a king. Of course, she has paid the farmers for their produce and is happy to be on her way home.
Happy Saturday, everyone! Rosie and Bernie are sharing their memories of last Christmas when they traveled to Hann’s Christmas Tree Farm in Oregon, WI. Oh, the memories of Santa, Mrs. Claus, and choosing their own tree to harvest. They were surprised that it fit into their VW van. This pair does love their vintage ride. Santa himself took this picture of them just before leaving the farm.
Good morning, everyone! And welcome back! I’m back with a new card today. Yep, it is a card in the shape of a tag. Amazingly enough, I have created a one-layer card. WOW! Lots of inky fun layers. The background is ink rolled onto paper with a brayer in a random pattern with images stamped to add interest. The Dreamfinder & sentiment are stamped with black ink just before distressing the edges. For the inside, I cut down the sides of the tag, stamped the lines, and added the circle punch. The supplies are listed below. Enjoy!
Supplies used:
Paper: Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock, White 80lb cardstock from the stash
