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.

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?

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.

Mixed Media Coffee Lovers Card

Toni here with you today, sharing a sassy little vintage mixed media coffee card.

I spattered the card front with Distress Ink sprays, then layered dictionary collage tissue paper on top. I stamped and embossed the I Mean Coffee sentiment and Coffee Cup Top View Heart.

For the Lady with Coffee, I stamped and embossed her on vellum, then used some patterned paper scraps behind her collar, cup, teeth, and hair. This allows her to show up really well but still have some transparency. For an added pop of color, I spattered some blue glossy spray and used a red pen to highlight a few of the words.  The shine is just dreamy.

Cupid Valentine Cards

Toni here with you today, sharing a vintage inspired Cupid Valentine card with a snarky twist.

 I created a striped background using a variety of solid cardstock with a scalloped border.  It would have been very easy to simply cut strips of cardstock in a variety of colors, piece them together, and cut them to the size of the card front.  Either way, you are able to create a variety of card fronts at once to make each card unique.

I stamped and embossed the Cupid (isn't he sweet?!) in gold on vellum.  I masked and stamped the Weird Stalker sentiment as well.  I then cut out the pair out with a scalloped circle die. I used two layers of vellum to limit transparency.

On the inside of the card, I stamped the remainder of the Weird Stalker sentiment and applied a couple of strips of washi.  Cracks me up!
