Sunshine Simplicity

   Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

Sometimes simple cards carry the brightest glow. This card features the beautiful sun drawing stamp from Crackerbox Stamps. I am absolutely loving the carved, print-block feel of the design. The warm ink colors against the peach cardstock layers feel like bottled sunshine on paper.

To finish it off, I stamped the “Day Filled With Sunshine” sentiment in Versafine Nocturne ink, heat embossed it for that crisp shine, and added a few pearls for the final little sparkle. Clean, cheerful, and ready to brighten someone’s mailbox.

Supply List:

Sun Drawing

Day Be Filled With Sunshine

Versafine Nocture Ink

Until next time— Stay colorful, stay crafty! -- Dalis

You Make Me Smile

Hello, for today's card, I started with a white card base. Next, I die cut a stitched rectangle to layer onto the card base. On the yellow layer, I stamped the You Make Me Smile sentiment stamp in black. I also stamped the Banana Bunch and Banana Single stamps randomly in yellow ink for a tone-on-tone look. I die cut a wonky circle from textured blue cardstock. I stamped and colored the Stuart Smirking stamp and added him on top of the blue circle. To finish the card, I added three clear sequins. Thanks for stopping by, and have a nice day.

Turning Sunshine Into Sunflowers

  Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

Mother’s Day is peeking around the corner like a deadline in glitter-covered shoes, and I am still over here making cards that actually need to survive the postal system. 

This one, though, might be one of my favorites. I made it especially for my mom, and I really hope she loves it as much as I loved creating it. I used the sun stamp from Crackerbox Stamps in a completely different way, turning it into a bright sunflower for the focal point. The center uses a sentiment stamp, while the background is filled with the Mother’s Day definition stamp, adding layers of meaning and texture.

A little bit floral, a little bit vintage dictionary page energy, and fully made with love.

A Card For Nurses Week

Hello Stampers. Vicky is here today to share a thank you to a nurse.

The nurses give so much to their patients, dedicating their time, energy, and compassion to ensure they receive the best care possible. They are the unsung heroes of the healthcare system, often going above and beyond to make a difference in people's lives. Here is a card to thank a nurse for all she/he does, a small token of appreciation for their tireless efforts and selfless dedication.

This is a pretty simple card. I have a back panel that I adhered to a white card.

A blue panel was put on the black, and then my white card.

I masked the saying and put the first part of the saying on the scrub top, and the rest of the saying beside the scrub top. The saying has a small gap between the top and the bottom.

There is another scrub top style.

Stamps Used:

Scrub Top With Heart

Nurses Mask, Stethoscope, Syringe

Not All Superheroes

Thank you to all of the First Responders!

A Definition Of A Mother

Hello Stampers. Vicky here today. 

I'm so excited to share with you a Mother's Day card I created that features the heartwarming definition of a mother. I used a Magnolia stamp, which symbolizes beauty, strength, and resilience. It's a thoughtful way to express gratitude and appreciation for all that they do.

I stamped the Mother Definition, cut it out with a die, and drew a frame around it.

I am not sure why the camera didn't capture the shading of the flower and the background.

The Magnolia Stellata is the flower I used, and I colored it.

Enjoy your day!

Mother's Day Card

Hello Stampers. Vicky here today.

Do you know any of those amazing moms who have 4-legged kids, like furry friends who are always by their side and bring so much joy to their lives? I think they, too, deserve a very special Happy Mother's Day. Since we use our cell phones a lot to capture and share those precious moments, I used our cell phone stamp on this card to make it even more personalized and thoughtful. And the best part is that there are many other messages you can put on the phone to make it extra special, such as 'Pawsome Mom' or 'Fur-Ever Grateful' - the possibilities are endless!

I stamped the Cell Phone on printed paper, because we usually have cell phone covers.

I stamped the cell phone again on white and cut out the phone screen part.

Spot The Dog was stamped on the bottom of the screen and colored.

The saying, Best Dog Mom was stamped with VersaFine.

I stamped the Dog Paws with VersaFine Acorn ink across the card.

Happy Mother's Day was stamped and mounted.

Product Used

Cell Phone

We also have hashtag saying sets for the cell phone

Thanks for stopping and taking a look!

Have a great day!

Roses For Mom

I wanted to make my version of a clean and simple card. I started with a white card base. Next I did repeat stamping of the rose from the Mother Set 1 stamp set on a layer slightly smaller than the base. Next I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set. I turned the layer over and dry embossed some lines around the edges. To finish my card, I added three gold enamel dots. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day.
