Unicorn Birthday Wishes

Hello, Timothy here sharing a Unicorn Birthday Wishes card.

For this card, I was inspired by the colors in the plaid pattern paper.

I started with a green card base. I wrapped some ribbon around the plaid

paper, created a bow and layered it on top of the card base. 

I colored the Unicorn Sweetie stamp with alcohol markers. 

To make the hair look shiny, I added crosses and dots

with a white gel pen.

I stamped the Happy Birthday Script sentiment stamp

and cut it out with some layering dies. 

I cut the larger layer from gold glitter cardstock and added

it on top of the ribbon. To finish the card, I added three enamel dots.

Stamps Used

Unicorn Sweetie

Happy Birthday Script

Have a magical day!

Need a Quick Card? Make one "like no UDDER"!

  Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

Bridgette is the perfect stamp for a quick card! She can be black and white or brown and white—and the only thing you really need to color is her little bell. I decided to go the extra mile (which for a quick card isn’t that far!) and added some stenciled clouds. The patterned paper and the texture of the corrugated piece really help Bridgette take center stage—just like she’s used to! 🐄💛

Did you notice the envelope detail? It took almost no time at all, but it’s such a sweet little touch that gives the recipient a sneak peek of what’s inside. Just a small effort for a big smile!

Supply List:

Like No Udder

Cow Bridgette

Hay Stack

Funny T-Rex Dragon Card

I've always been fascinated by dinosaurs, and it's amazing we can theorize so much about their lives, given fossils and such.  Now, do we know for sure that a T-rex's arms were relatively short?  Yes, BUT--now hear me out--what if it had tentacle fingers or something that didn't survive the fossil record, and overall its arms were proportionally the same as its legs? Yikes!

When I saw the Dragon with Fire stamp, I immediately noticed its little arms and just had to pair it with the I'd Hug You sentiment.  LOL.  Too cute.  I stamped Grass Set of 2 with Catherine Pooler ink.  I used CP inks for the colorful sky as well. A strip of washi finished off the ground.

I started with a blue card base.

and layered that piece onto the card base.

and layered it with the same blue cardstock.

I stamped and colored the Rooster image and added him

to the center of the oval layers.

I stamped the Smile! Everyone Wonder

sentiment at the bottom of the card.

I finished the card by adding three enamel dots.

Not Your Average Get Well Card

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

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!

Supply List:

Chicken Standing

Egg Solid and Outline
Chicken Soup

Additional Supplies:

Paint brush (for splattering), inks, alcohol markers, white gel pen, paintbrush, and watercolor pencils

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

The Cows Are at It Again!

 Hi y'all, Dalis here! 

Bernice is back—and she’s just as sassy as ever. With her bold attitude and snarky comebacks, she’s the perfect bovine to help you grab the day by the horns. This card is all about embracing that cheeky humor that makes life a little more fun.

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.

Supply List:
Cow 2 Bernice
Amazing Things
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

Other Supplies:
Doilies, stickers, ephemera, diecuts and pattern paper

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

You’re Clawsome

 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!!

Cute Fishy Hello

Welcome, friends!  It's quite appropriate that the fish in my card is called "Smiley," don't you think?  Toni here with you today.

I stamped Smiley directly onto the card base then used a wavy stencil to create the water using my favorite color of Distress Oxide, Salvaged Patina. I like that it adds a bit of interest without making the card too fussy. 

Now I didn't bother masking the image as I knew the Copics I was using would cover any blue overage, but I did try to avoid overlapping.

The last step involved embossing the Swimming By sentiment on a black strip then laying that over a hello diecut that I sponged with Catherine Pooler inks.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great rest of your day! For a full list of products used and to see my other projects, just visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft.  I'm also on IG.

Sassy Miss Daisy has done it again!

    Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

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 Is Back—and Louder Than Ever!

  Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

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.

Supply List:
Chicken on Nest Henrietta
Hay Stack
Hay! Sentiment
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

Other Products:
Alcohol Markers
Pattern Paper (Project Life 4x6 card)

Missing You Pig Card

 Hello, Janet here with a heart-warming card for a friend.

I stamped the pig with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on a scrap piece of cardstock. I colored him with colored pencils and cut him out. Using a soft brush with yellow and blue ink on white cardstock, I made a sky background with sunshine in the upper left corner. The brick wall was made from an embossing folder and brown ink. I have the pig peeking over the wall. Miss You is stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink on a white scrap and die cut. I added a dragonfly brad in the upper right corner. The card front is layered on brown cardstock and then onto the card.

Hey! HAY!

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

For this card, using Henrietta on her Nest was a no-brainer—honestly, is there a cuter (or sassier) chicken out there? Whether she’s still searching for love or has already found it, one thing is certain: she’s stealing the spotlight in this fun, farm-inspired scene.

I created a simple sky backdrop and added a few haystacks (including masking some to create depth) to set the scene, giving Henrietta a cozy and lively setting. To add some balance, I combined two different sentiments and included a few extra elements to ground the entire composition. As a final touch, I carried the theme onto the envelope by stamping and masking the haystacks right on the front—because who doesn’t love a little sneak peek before opening the card?

Chicken on Nest Henrietta
Hay Stack

Extra Crispy Miss Prissy

My kid sister gave me the idea for this card. She's brilliant and so very creative!

I stamped Miss Prissy onto the card front so I'd know where I would be placing her after coloring and fussy cutting her out. 

I then used a honeycomb stencil with Catherine Pooler and Lisa Horton metallic inks.  I love how that blended and wish I could show you the shimmer, but you know how finicky cameras can be.

I added the die-cut sentiments and had Miss Prissy popping up from behind.  On the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment from the Miss Prissy set: "Live today like you're getting fried tomorrow."  Perfect!

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a great rest of your day! For a full list of products used and to see my other projects, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft.  Have a great rest of your day!

Simple Funny Shark Card

Are you ready to hit the water this summer?  Maybe not so much now, huh?

I first stamped Jaws the Shark onto the card front and colored it with Copics.  Next, I  masked the shark so it would appear to be jumping out of the water after I stamped that.

But what really makes the card, is that What Doesn't Kill You sentiment, am I right?!
