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.

Chicken on Nest Henrietta

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

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?

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?!

Moo-ther's Day Fun with Miss Daisy!

 Hi everyone, Dalis here to bring you so moo-rvelous ideas! 

Sometimes all you need are your cute glasses and a few flowers on your head to feel fabulous! This year, I reached for the adorable Miss Daisy stamp set to make some fun, cheerful, and unexpected Mother's Day cards. Hopefully, these little bundles of love have already arrived at their new homes—or are happily moo-ving along the way!

This was my first time working with clear stamps, and let me tell you—they stamp moo-rvelously! 🐄✨ A quick tip if you're using Miss Daisy: stamp her in the color you want her spots to be. I went for that classic Midwestern dairy cow look—black and white, of course!

I kept the coloring super simple using alcohol markers. Just a few strokes brought Miss Daisy to life. But you know I couldn’t resist a pop of color! 🌈

You’ll soon notice I have a serious love affair with bright, bold pattern papers. They just make everything feel a bit more joyful, don’t they?

The inside of the card features one of my all-time favorite sayings: “Live life like someone left the gate open!” Truer words have never been spoken—especially if you’re a cow… or just someone with a wild spirit. 🐄💨

This card was a total joy to create—partly because I adore cows, and partly because I knew they’d bring a smile to the special moms who received them.

Thanks for stopping by! If you’ve used Miss Daisy or have a favorite punny stamp set, I’d love to hear about it in the comments!

Bright & Cheerful Get Well Card – Featuring Our “Frog Being Sick” Stamp

 Hi friends! Dalis is here today.

Today, I’m excited to share a bright and cheerful Get Well card with you. I decided to keep the design simple because I really wanted the spotlight on this adorable little frog—how cute (and a little pitiful) is he?

We have a whole collection of fun and quirky frog stamps, and for this card, I chose the one called Frog Being Sick. It’s one of our rubber stamp designs, and it just makes me smile every time. To go with it, I used the Get Well Soon Tiny rubber stamp sentiment—perfect for sending a little comfort.

I watercolored the image, matching the colors to the patterned paper I picked out. It gave the whole card a soft, coordinated look. To finish it off, I found a sentiment punch in my stash that fit just right (love when that happens!). Everything was stamped using VersaFine Ink to get those nice, crisp lines.

This card was a joy to make, and I hope it brings a smile to someone who needs a little pick-me-up.

Bright Rainbow Birthday Card

Hello, friends!  Toni here with you today with a fun and humorous rainbow birthday card.

I started my card by sponging a card front using Catherine Pooler inks.  I then die-cut it with a scalloped rectangle die and set it aside.

Next, I stamped the Bunny Hug image, masked it, and stamped the cake from Birthday Set 2.  I colored this up with Copics.  I trimmed the panel down and mounted it on black before stamping the sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturne. 

I adhered to the card altogether, then realized I had forgotten to add any candles. The sparkler from Birthday Set 2 came to the rescue!

Just Peeking In

Hello, Janet with a cute little piggy card. It could be used for any occasion

First, I stamped the pig three times with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto white cardstock. I colored them with colored pencils. I added some glare marks, like those on a window, using a teal-colored pencil. Next, I stamped Just Peeking In with  VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink on the window. I cut small strips to frame the window using teal barn siding paper. I added small screw brads to each corner. I layered the framed window onto a larger piece of teal barn siding. The card is brown craft paper.

Hogs and Kisses

 Hello, Janet here, and I have a cute pocket card and an adorable pig. It could be for a birthday, thinking of you, or get well. It would be a happy greeting for almost any occasion.

First, I stamped the pig hanging on and the pocket with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on white cardstock. Next, I colored them with Copic markers and cut them out. I inserted a gold brad in the top corners of the pocket. The pocket is layered on designed paper that looks like straw. I inserted the pig hanging on in the pocket. Next, I layered that on dark blue cardstock and then onto red bandana printed paper. I stamped the sentiment, hogs, and kisses with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink on a scrap white cardstock. I cut around it, trying to keep the shape, and attached it to the pocket, making it look like the pig is holding it.
