I have a new bestie and her name is Prissy! She’s sassy, colorful, and SO much fun! I went all out with this one—mixed media messy in the best way. I stamped, stenciled, added paste, stapled, and even used things that were definitely not meant for cards. And yes… I finished her off with real feathers! Are you ready for Prissy? Because SHE is 100% ready for you! 💃🎨🔥 #MixedMediaMayhem #SassyAndCrafty #PrissyIsHere
Raise your hand (or wing!) if you don’t know when to stop on a project 🙋♀️ Yeah… same here. Prissy was already fabulous, but I had to add a sentiment. Sure, I could’ve stamped it inside—but I really wanted it to be part of the fun, front and center. What do you think? My in-house approval team (aka hubby and daughter) gave it a thumbs up! 😄
What I’m trying to say is: go as far as you want with your cards. Play. Explore. Layer it all on. You won’t know where “too far” is until you go there—and sometimes, that’s where the magic lives. 💥🎨 #CraftWithoutLimits #MixedMediaPlay #GoBoldOrGoHome
I recorded the whole process, mess and all, so if you're ready to see how Prissy came to life, check out the video below. It was one of those magical days where creativity took the lead, and I just followed.

At my age, having a stash of Get Well Soon cards is less of a choice and more of a necessity. But let’s be honest—just because it’s a get-well card doesn’t mean it has to be boring!
I had so much fun creating this one with the adorable egg stamps from Crackerbox Stamps—seriously, they stamp like a dream! Ironically, I was aiming for a slightly imperfect, offset look… and of course, they all came out perfectly aligned (isn’t that always the way?).
The chicken? Absolutely essential. As soon as I read the sentiment, I instantly thought of good ol’ chicken soup for the soul. Instead of my usual go-to patterned paper, I challenged myself with a new color palette and created my own background using the eggs. No patterned paper in sight—and I loved every second of it!

I’ll be honest—I’m a snarky-at-heart kind of person. If someone handed me a card like this, I’d be rolling with laughter… probably down a grassy hill—or more realistically, down the stairs! Bernice knows how to make an entrance, and this card is no exception.

Hello crafters, Timothy here today sharing a card to show someone just how “clawsome” they are.
I started with a fun piece of pattern paper for my background. I used a neon green cardstock for the base. I stamped, colored and cut out the Crab Happy (small) stamp. I used some alphabet dies to create the sentiment. Cork paper was used to give the illusion of sand. I cut out a piece of coral for the background and finished the card by adding enamel dots. Have a great day!!

Miss Daisy’s Got Attitude — and a Whole Lot of Cheese!
Miss Daisy has done it again! She just can’t help herself — that sass is part of her charm. This cheeky card was created as part of a dairy-themed Instagram Hop I’m participating in, and I couldn’t resist leaning into the theme with a little extra snark.
The sentiment called for something bold and dairy-inspired, and what better way to play it up than with a cheesy background? Literally. The cheese motif adds just the right dose of humor while tying everything together in the most delightfully absurd way.
It’s a little funny, a little snarky, and totally Miss Daisy. Be sure to follow the hop for more dairy-inspired laughs and creativity!

Henrietta on Her Nest is making a bold return, and this time she's bringing all the sass—and all the 90s vibes! Inspired by the bright, clashing colors of the '90s (think The Colors of Benetton meets farm chic), Henrietta is strutting her stuff as queen of the coop. With her vibrant feathers and feisty personality, she's ready to steal the show.
To build the scene, I brought back the ever-handy Haystacks stamp to ground the layout and added a large cut-out heart for a little extra love (or a cheeky “HAY!” for someone special). I had a blast coloring Henrietta—she's dressed in the loudest hues I could come up with, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
For added texture, I sprayed the haystacks with three different shades of dye spray ink, giving them a grungy, mixed-media flair. And of course, no card of mine is truly finished without a few touches of white gel pen highlights to bring everything to life.
Henrietta is all attitude and color—just how we like her.
