Week of Cards

Aloha, summer! The dies for this are called "This Way To Raimbows" from the Spellbinders June club kit. Very easy to assemble!

A Christmas in July project featuring "Warm Christmas" by Simon Says Stamp.

 Digital stamp and paper is "Patriotic" by Vera Lane Studio. Shaker frame is Whimsy Stamps, filler is by Buttons Galore & More.

"Aloha Hula" dies are also from Spellbinders June club. She is on an action wobble so she does a little shaky-shake. The background panels were created from various distress inks and gold spray.

Holiday Wreath is by Honey Bee Stamps, embossed in gold and colored with Copic markers.

Biology Class

 The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is for Back To School with Studio Light. This is for science or biology class! Studio Light "Romantic Forest" paper for background with Tim Holtz Ideaology ephemera, center butterfly is by AALL & Create.

Beachy Christmas

 For the Lawn Fawnatics challenge of "Summer Splash" I have a cute little Santa off on vacation. Hawaii, maybe. I used Beachy Chrismas stamps and tropical frame die. I made the background with acrylic paints, a very easy way to make a scene.

Hula Penguin

 These delightful hula penguins are from Spellbinders (June Club Kits). I love the Island Style 3d embossing folder which was made using Fawn card stock and Lisa Horton "Warm Chestnut Shimmer" and Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze".

Weekender Go Wild

This card kit from Spellbinders was fabulous fun! The Weekender 2026 "Go Wild" collection has you covered with fabulous dies, rub ons, stamps, and paper ephemera. I look forward to creating many tropical scenes and incorporating it with other sets. All of these cards were designed by Spellbinders wonderfully talented team. Great, easy to follow tutorials!

Be True

 

This week's Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamp calls for masculine themed projects using Tim Holtz. I made an altered playing card with Tim's stamps, stencil, and sentiment. The background was created with tissue paper with gold paint and then embossed with the hexagon stencil in gold paste. The top hat was covered in clear glaze.

Going Wild

 Hi, hope you are having an awesome week! The weather has been so uncertain lately, hot one day and cold and rainy the next. Today is one of the nice ones so I may have to spend some time outdoors on garden maintenance. I always fancied myself a gardener but have come to the conclusion that is quite a lot of work and I'm having a hard time keeping up with. I will just do the best I can!

These cards feature more from the Spellbinders Weekender kit. The first card is made from a five layer tropical leaves stencil, the bird is from the paper embellishments pack. I cut it out a little closer to the edges since it felt like too much white border.

The second card was from Yana Smakula's youtube tutorial. Lots of colorful layers for the toucan.
