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!✨🦄🎨

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I’m thrilled to share a Haunted Mansion-inspired card with you all today. This card has the dimensions of a mini, slim-line card with a few extra folds, giving it a fun fold card feel. The inspiration behind this creation comes from three sources: the iconic Haunted Mansion, Craft Roulette episode 171, and a fantastic card design by Popsiclesticks on Instagram.

Let’s dive into how you can recreate this card base. Start by cutting a piece of paper to 6×10.5 inches. Score it at 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5 and 9 inches. Additionally, cut a second piece measuring 5.25×6 inches and score it at 3 inches. To add a touch of eerie elegance, I adorned all the sides with hauntingly beautiful paper from Whimsy Stamps. For the backgrounds, I opted for black watercolor paper and blended them using pan-pastels, achieving a captivating effect.

The images on the card are from Kindred Stamps, stamped using Memento black ink, and expertly colored with Copics. To convey the perfect sentiments, I used simple die cuts made with Sizzix’s Tim Holtz Classic Alphabet. A little glue to hold everything together, and voila! Your card is complete.

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed creating it. Happy crafting, everyone!

Challenges entered: The Time Out Challenge (imaginary beings- the ghosts at the haunted mansion; magical – Madame Leota at the Haunted Mansion), Park Hopping My Happy Place, The Most Magical Time of the Year, Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge, Halloween Crafts All Year Round, The Fairy and Unicorn Challenge

Happy Hump Day, everyone! I wanted to share a fun little project I worked on recently – a cute birthday card featuring none other than Yogi Bear! I couldn’t resist using an adorable coloring page of Yogi Bear and bringing him to life with some vibrant Copic markers.

To complement the focal image, I decided to incorporate a large die cut from Lawnfawn, which served as the perfect sentiment for the card. I crafted a beautiful background using Distress Oxide inks in Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, and Wilted Violet. The combination of these colors added a touch of whimsy and playfulness to the overall design.

The best part of this card is that it was quick and easy to put together. I hope this card brings a smile to someone’s face on their special day. Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead!

Challenges entered: Time Out Challenge (I think Yogi Bear is funny), Critter Crazy Challenge, Park Hopping My Happy Place, NBUS Challenge(the Make A Wish die)

Happy Giraffic Mid-Summer, Everyone!

This towering twosome is neck-deep in birthday bash prep. Seems like the guest of honor is none other than Bertha, the elephant. She’s set to go wild for the cake & party “trunks.” I stumbled upon these whimsically stamped digi critters from Whimsy stamps and playfully painted them with copic colors. To set the stage, I harnessed some adorable patterned paper, crafting a scene that roars with excitement. And for the final touch, I borrowed a punny sentiment from Lawn Fawn, because let’s face it, it’s irrelephant to resist!

Any wild guesses where I draw my artistic roar-spiration from? Well, I’ll let the cat out of the bag, it is the Jungle Cruise. Are you pun-dering if I’ve reached my quota of puns? Well, perhaps, I should probably stop monkeying around.
