FORE!

By Janet's cards August 15, 2025 // No comments

Hello, Janet here with a card for the golfer in your life.

Using a small piece of white cardstock, I stamped the word golf and the tee with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the tee and embossed the cardstock to look like golf ball dimples. I die cut a strip of grass and attached it to the lower edge of the stamped cardstock. That cardstock is layered on burgundy paper. Then I layered that onto printed design paper. The last layer is matching the burgundy paper before attaching it to the card.

Hello, Janet here with a birthday baseball card.

First, I stamped the baseball, bat, and baseball mitt with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Then I colored them with colored pencils and cut them out. I layered a piece of printed baseball paper onto black cardstock and attached it to the card front. Next, using white cardstock, I cut out a home plate, and using a soft brush and brown ink, I made it look dirty. I layered it onto the card and attached the bat, baseball mitt, and baseball. Happy Birthday was stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink.

Let's Misbehave!

By Timothy Thomas July 23, 2025 // No comments

Salutations, Timothy here today to see who's ready to Misbehave!

I started with a wheat color card base, which I also used as mat layers

for the 2 inch pattern paper squares.

I stamped the Newt's Initials stamp on the blue-green layer, using the

same color ink for a tone on tone look.

I stamped the In The Mood To Misbehave stamp

and cut out each line in the sentiment to

show off more of the background.

I stamped and colored the Newt Scamander image and added him

to the bottom of my card.

Lastly, as usual, I added a few enamel dots to finish the card.

Hello Greeting Card

By Janet's cards July 15, 2025 // No comments

Hello, Janet here with a card that could be used for any occasion for anyone.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, I stamped two feathers on scrap paper, colored them, and cut them out. Next, using the Royal Texture Stipple Brush and Memento Expresso Truffle Ink, I added color to a piece of white cardstock. I attached the feathers, tied two pieces of brown string around them, and inserted 3 brown brads. Hello is stamped in the lower left corner in VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink. On a larger layer of white cardstock, I stamped the feathers randomly and colored them lightly. I layered that on brown paper and onto the card. The smaller top layer is then attached.

Cute Fishy Hello

By Toni July 07, 2025 // No comments

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.

A Farm-Themed Card for a Big Weekend

By kramer_buffy June 24, 2025 // No comments

Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

It’s very possible that our upcoming trip to Iowa State University is behind my sudden streak of farm-themed cards! We’re heading into a new chapter with our daughter, and I created this special card just for her as we kick off orientation weekend.

“Geezer,” our wild cowboy stamp, takes center stage on this one—he’s just the right kind of character to make it clear that this weekend is all about her. I did a bit of masking magic to customize the sentiment, stamping “It’s Your Day” on the front and saving the punchline—“Milk it for all it’s worth!”—for the inside, alongside Bridgette the Cow, of course.

The background paper has this perfect worn-denim texture that instantly reminded me of a good ol’ pair of cowboy jeans. All the cowboy details and the barn were colored using alcohol markers for a rich, vibrant finish.

It’s a playful, heartfelt card for a moment full of excitement, nerves, and so much pride. Off to new adventures we go!

Supportive Brother Card

How sweet is this card? Cards can be a good way to express your feelings.

Timothy has laid some blue and yellow strips down on a card.

He stamped the saying, Fix Your Problems and used a die to cut it out.

He also stamped the two Minions, Stuart Smirking and Dave Jumping, colored and cut them out, and used Pop Dots to pop them up.

Brother was stamped, cut, and also popped up. Check out all of our family names.

Snarky Day Drinker Pirate Card

By Toni June 18, 2025 // No comments

It's summer and time to hit the water if you're able. Toni here serving as your captain today.

I stamped and colored up J. Sparrow using Copics. I had originally planned to just use the Makes You a Pirate sentiment, but it seemed lonely on the card front. I love clean and simple, but sometimes a card calls for a bit more decoration, you know?

So, I searched my stash and found a gold-flecked parchment-like paper that went well with the Treasure Map stamp, which balanced out the image nicely.

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.

The saying, Count My Blessings was stamped on the same cardstock as the image.

The image and saying were mounted on a light blue cardstock.

Black dot embellishments and rope colored string around the card.

Up, Up and Away!

Hello, Janet here with a birthday card for my pilot friend.

First, I used Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and the Airliner stamp on white cardstock. Using Copic markers, I colored the plane. Then I used a soft brush to add some light blue to the cardstock. It's Your Birthday is stamped with VersaFine Ink in the upper left corner. I layered that onto light blue paper. A gold star brad was inserted into each corner. I cut a piece of light blue star paper and wrapped a wide twine ribbon around it. The stamped image is put on at an angle. Shiny gold foil is the bottom layer.

Cheeky April Fool's Day Card

By Toni April 01, 2025 // No comments

Hello, everyone! Toni here. April Fool's Day is upon us, and thus, I thought I would create a funny card with a bit of humor.

I die-cut my card front with a trail of stars, then stamped the Fairy Godfather Patrick image so that they emanated from his backside (yes, think farts--such a man joke).

The smile on his face is perfect for this--LOL. I stamped the Leave a Little Sparkle sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturne, then added a yellow glitter backer behind the stars before adhering the front to the card base.
