Believe In Magic And Fairies
Hello Stampes. Vicky here today with a magical fairy.
Do you believe in magic and fairies? Long ago, it was said that fairies could be found wherever imagination thrived. This card features a beautiful fairy, captured in a rare, mesmerizing instant. There is power in her magic, a sense that she belongs to a world just out of reach. Perhaps she’s not truly captured at all—perhaps she’s simply allowing herself to be seen.
I started with a dark blue card.
I used the Bowl & Cork without the cork, upside down. I did some shading with a blue Copic marker.
I stamped the saying, Believe In Magic with VersaFine.
I added the Dancing Fairy in the bowl. I colored her wings with blue and yellow Copic markers.
The Star Swirl was added at the tip of her fingers. I used yellow and blue markers and glitter glue.

I stamped Miss Prissy on a scrap piece of cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Next I colored her with copic markers and cut her out. Set her aside and start layering. The fried egg paper is the first layer on the card base. Next layer is paper that looks like straw. The final layer is chicken wire paper. I attached Miss Prissy with foam squares to make her stand out. The inside of the card is stamped with VersaFine Nocturne Ink.

Just Checking In!
Hello Janet here with a thinking of you card. This little pig is just saying "Hi, how ya doing?"
I stamped the pig, hay bale, and the milk can with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on scrap cardstock. They are colored with Copic Markers and cut out. I chose a designed paper that looks like a barnyard fence and the floor of a barn. I attached the pig to look like he is peeking in the barn. The milk can and the bales of hay are on the barn floor. The word "Hey" is stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and die cut. I attached it at an angle to the top-right corner. The bottom layer is black cardstock.

Wine with Friends
Hello, Janet here with a card that could be used as a birthday or thinking-of-you card. It is for anyone who enjoys drinking wine.
I stamped the wine bottle and glasses with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored them in with black marker and cut them out. I cut a scrap of silver sparkle cardstock for the foil around the cork. I stamped some grapes on the label. The bottom layer is gray embossed cardstock. The next layer is gray and white polka dot paper. A small piece of gray embossed paper is placed in the center of the card. I placed the wine glasses and bottle on it. The sentiment is stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink at the bottom of the card. I added a metal clip at the top.

Little Critter, Big Attitude
Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!
There is something magical about rescuing a book that looks like it has been gently set aside by the world. Finding a Little Critter treasure by Mercer Mayer in the discard pile at the thrift store felt like destiny tapping me on the shoulder.
I honestly stood there wondering how on earth it ended up there. Into my cart it went, and yes, I absolutely whispered to it that it was about to be loved and given a brand-new chapter in its life.
This is the second project I have made with it, and I have to say, upcycling a childhood classic has a special kind of sparkle. I paired those sweet, nostalgic images with a few Crackerbox Stamps sentiments to give Mom a slightly… upgraded way to express her feelings. Let’s just say it might be the version of motherhood that includes raised eyebrows and perfectly timed side eye. LOL!!!
There is something so fun about blending innocent storybook charm with a sentiment that has just a pinch of sass. It feels like giving Little Critter a grown-up sense of humor while still keeping that cozy heart intact.
I hope you like this second life project as much as I loved rescuing and reinventing it. Sometimes the best art starts in the discard pile.
Supply List:
Additional Supplies: Mercer Mayer illustration, brown chalk ink, embossing ink, and white embossing powder.
Until next time— Stay colorful, stay crafty! -- Dalis

Cinderella Shoes
Hello Stampers. Vicky is here today.
Who doesns't love the Cinderella story, and the movie?
Doesn't a new pair of shoes make you happy?
Cinderella's shoes stand for a magical transformation, love, and your future.
And the right pair of shoes can change your life, rags to riches.
I think this Cinderella saying has a good, positive outcome.
The base card is coral, and then there is olive green. Printed cardstock is on top, and I used some of these colors for the back of the images and the saying.
The Betty image is available in 2 sizes. I used the small one.

Life Is Better With Cupcakes
Hello, Timothy here sharing a very sweet card.
I started with a light yellow card base. I stamped the Cupcake Medium Swirl once in yellow ink and again in purple ink. I cut out the cupcake liner and glued it on top of the yellow image. I used dies to cut squares from pattern paper and the frame from purple cardstock. I popped the cupcake up with foam squares. I stamped the Life Without Cupcakes sentiment directly to the card base using purple ink. To finish the card I added three blue sequins. Have a sweet day,
Timothy

The nutrition facts label and Sweet Thing are stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink and cut out, also. The bottom layer on the card is pink cardstock. The next layer is pink-heart paper.

Yas, King Bob!
Hello, friends! Toni here with a whimsical Minions friendship/encouragement card. You can't go wrong with a Minion!
First, I die-cut the card front using a star coverplate. I then adhered that to the card front by covering the entire back with double-sided adhesive. Once the backing was removed from the adhesive, I added back a few of the stars so there would be a solid area to stamp the sentiment.
Then, I sprinkled a healthy amount of chunky glitter onto the remaining sticky openings and burnished it in using my fingers. Yes, I should have worn gloves.
Finally, I adhered the oval image panel of King Bob, colored with Zig Real Brush Markers, to the front. I used my MISTI to stamp the Throw on a Crown sentiment a couple of times for maximum visibility on the uneven surface.

Snarky Crazy Alien Friendship Card
Greetings, Earthlings! Toni here with you sharing a snarky friendship card.
To begin, I sponged the card front with shades of Catherine Pooler blue, then spattered with water and Copic Opaque White. I did know where my spaceship circle was going to go, so I could intentionally darken the area around the ship for depth.
I stamped the Alien Funny Face on scrap cardstock and colored it up. I intended to add glitter behind the acetate of the window he's peeking out of, but forgot, naturally. LOL!
Card fully assembled and, more importantly, the blues dry, I stamped and embossed the Don't Understand sentiment in white.

Warm Winter Wishes
Hello, Janet here with a sweet snowman, sending warm winter wishes.
I stamped the snowman with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and cut him out. He is colored with copic markers. Next, I used navy cardstock for the bottom layer. The next layer is printed paper. Using white cardstock, I cut out some snow to lay across the bottom. I added some silver glitter to the snow. Using pop dots, I attached the snowman. The sentiment is stamped on white cardstock with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink. I layered that on matching navy cardstock cut slightly larger and attached it in the upper right corner. I added 2 navy snowflake brads before layering everything on the card base.

Looking for Mr. Coffee Valentine
Holiday greetings, my friends! Toni here sharing a snarky Valentine although that Helen with Coffee certainly conveys my exhaustion during the holidays. Whew!
I stamped Helen with Coffee and the Mr. Coffee sentiment on Bristol cardstock. I then watercolored her with Zig Real Brush Markers. I created flooring using washi. Wasn't that easy?!

The bottom layer is gold paper that I embossed. A piece of gold polka dot paper is placed on top of that. I wrapped a gold and white ribbon around the bottom two layers. I attached the top layers next. A piece of twine is tied around the bouquet.

A Whole Latte Love for Paper Piecing
☕ Coffee is my JAM! Honestly, without coffee, life would be… well, let’s just say I’m not willing to risk it for everyone’s safety. 😅
I’ve been hoarding some patterned paper from my #1900sCraftyStash (you know the one—you love it too!), and decided it was finally time to give it some love. The Coffee Cup Heart stamp was the perfect match for a little paper piecing magic, and let me tell you—it turned out even better than I imagined!
I colored the heart and kraft sections to bring it all together, and even with a little fidgeting on the die-cutting part (looking at you, “BEAN” letters 😜), the whole card came together in about 30 minutes.
Scroll down for the full instructions—hope you give it a try! 💛

How to Recreate This Card:
Cardbase is a grey cardstock sized at 7x6 inches. Scored at 3.5 on the 7" side to make this mini slimline. Cut out a piece of pattern paper at 3x5.5" and attached to the front, leaving a frame margin all around it.
Stamp the Coffee Cup Heart on white cardstock and also onto your pattern paper of choice. This teal bubbled paper was just perfection (in my humble opinion.)
Cut out the two pieces that make the cup without the sleeve from the pattern paper stamped piece.
Before gluing the paper pieced pieces color the sleeve, heart and the shadow on the lid of the cup. This way in case you color outside the line the pattern paper might cover it.
Glue your pattern paper pieced pieces onto the white stamped image that you just colored.
Stamp your Bean Awhile sentiment, masking the word BEAN onto white cardstock with your Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Cut the IT'S and AWHILE and colored the borders to make it look distressed.
Die-cut the word BEAN.
Assemble as shown.

We Still Rock
Age is just a number, we are only as old as we act.
I started with a maroon card base.
I layered an embossed pink cardstock on top. I stamped the Inner You
and We Still Rock stamps on light pink paper and used stitched square dies to cut them out.
To finish the card, I added three decorative brads. Thanks for stopping by.

Funny Caterpillar Butterfly Card
Toni here with you today from under my cozy blankets. All this cool weather has got me wanting to hibernate. You too?
I had gotten the Caterpillars and Saying stamps with the intention of creating a summer card, but that slipped by way too fast. A bit of mental gymnastics, and I turned it into an autumnal card instead.
To begin, I stamped the Fancy Butterfly with a melange of Catherine Pooler inks. The sentiment is stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne. I then die-cut some circles from the panel and popped them up to create the look of thought bubbles.
Next, I stamped the caterpillar and colored him up with Copics, adding a die-cut hill cut from scraps.
