Hello there!

This card was initiated from a hair challenge. When I drew this image, I had Pinkie Pie in mind from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. I love that show! Anyway, I drew the girl’s hair not considering how it could be colored and since Pinkie’s hair is a bit wild, I realized it would take a bit of a wild marker to color it. LOL This was my first attempt at coloring the hair. I wanted it to look like she had big curls so I followed the outside hair shape as well as the inside hair shape to create the bumps. The rest of the card was fun to color and create – and since the image was inspired by MLP Friendship is Magic – I decided to go with a friendly hello.

Got some tools I can borrow?

Looking for a Father’s Day card or one to send to your handyman or hubby for a job-well-done? I think this is the perfect combination with the Fill a Stuff Jam Packed clear set nestled in the Fill a Holiday Truck clear set – there’s even a spot on the sign to add a name. The truck is by far my favorite part because it reminds me of my Grandpa’s truck – although this one looks in better shape. However, I was surprised at how well the wood paper worked with this card.

Like peanut butter and jam

Have you noticed my card layout for the last three days? Each of them use the Extreme Postage die set along with the Wonky Stitched Rectangles die set to create the base. I love this combination and it reminds me of postage stamps, hand writing letters and post cards. It’s such a nice feeling to me. So for this card I chose to use the same combo and created this cute thank you card using the Party Animal Balloons clear set. I thought this would make an excellent card to send out for a gift thankfully received. This layout could also be done with a birthday sentiment instead of the thank you – just swap the words for something that works for you.

Let’s bee friends

Using the new release bee stamp along with some good oldies, I decided to come up with friends card. The idea started when I saw a jar of honey in one of the new bee stamps and I thought that would be a perfect idea for the Atlas Mason Jar die set. So I pulled that out along with the Atlas Jar clear stamp and the new bees and came up with this. The jar was actually fun to color and the hardest part was coming up with that golden honey color. When searching the internet for actual pictures of honey, I discovered there are many, many different colors of honey. That was new to me! So I ended up just picking the one that appealed to me the most. Once that was done I picked out my three favorite bees and then the rest of the card came together.

Have you moved recently?

If you’ve moved recently, or had some help moving a large object, then maybe you’re in need of a thank you card for those valuable heavy lifters. I created this card using the Fill-A Stuff Jam Packed clear set inside the Fill-A Harvest Truck and the new Many Thanks Word die set from Whimsy Stamps. Plus a lot of other things too. The colors on this card appeal to me so I don’t think I use orange often enough. The orange and teal turns out to be a nifty color combo. And how about those two cats? I thought they were fun to add. 🙂

Let’s give thanks

The cards I make the most are for birthday so it helps me to make gratitude cards when there are new thank you dies to work with. This release you have multiple options to choose from too! This card uses the new Thank You So Much Word die plus a few other fun things to create a sweet thank you card. However, I think the swan from the Party Animal Balloons clear set is what adds “character” to the card. <pun totally intended. lol>
