Clean, Simple, and a Little Spooky: Boo to You!
Spooky season is here, and I’m kicking it off with this clean and simple Halloween card featuring the new Fall and Halloween Dies from Simon Says Stamp that coordinate with Tim Holtz stamps! 🦉 I kept the design minimal but playful, with a Copic-colored owl in a witch hat, a softly blended background, and a bold “boo” to make you smile. 💚🧙♀️ This is the first in a 7-card series, so stay tuned for more spooky fun coming soon!
S’more Fun with Friends
Campfire vibes and critter cuteness? Yes, please! 🏕️ I created this playful scene using products from Simon Says Stamp’s new “Happy Camper” release. The critters, tent, and camper were colored with Copic markers, while the softly blended background sets the scene. It’s the perfect reminder that everything is s’more fun with friends! 🔥💚
Counting Down to the 25th in Style!
A bold and festive way to mark the 25th! This handmade holiday card features the Suzanne Hue Texture & Foliage collection from Spellbinders, with vibrant die-cut holly leaves and a bold green “25” front and center. ✨ A kraft background adds a rustic touch while shiny gold pearls and bright white berries bring in that classic Christmas sparkle. It’s a little bit modern, a little bit traditional, and a whole lot of merry! 🎄
It’s OK to Float Awhile
Need a reminder to pause and breathe? This vibrant handmade card features the August Stamp and Die of the Month Club from Spellbinders. I created the background using my favorite Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers for a bold, expressive splash of color 🌈. That message-in-a-bottle scene? It’s the perfect little escape. 💙
Bold Blooms & Big Smiles – Plus and Instagram Hop
Bold blooms and bright colors take center stage in this card I created with the Delicate Blossoms background stamp from Simon Says Stamp’s “Happy Camper” release 🌸. I colored the florals with Copic markers, added crisp black accents, and finished with a simple sentiment strip. It’s cheerful, fresh, and perfect for sending a smile! 🖤 See all the design details now on the blog!
Shoot for the Moon!
This rocket-fueled card took a fun twist when some wayward white splatter created the perfect trail behind my astronaut pup 🚀. I used products from the new Simon Says Stamp “Happy Camper” release to build this space scene, complete with a Copic-colored Earth and deep galaxy background. Sometimes the best details are the ones you didn’t plan! 🌍✨
An Apple for the Teacher
School is (almost) back in session and it’s the perfect moment to celebrate those amazing educators! I created this sweet teacher-themed card using the Simon Says Stamp “Happy Camper” release. The garden scene is tucked into an apple die from my stash, making it just right for back-to-school. I colored the images with Copic markers and built the design around a bold red strip that gives it a pop of classroom color. 🍎✂️
Comfort, Joy, and a Mug Full of Magic
This card brings all the retro holiday feels! 🎅☕ I used products from Spellbinders’ Wonderland Collection to create this nostalgic design featuring a vintage-style Santa mug – complete with whipped cream on top! Surrounded by bright gifts, a whimsical tree, and a sprinkle of sparkle, it’s all about comfort & joy with a handmade twist. Perfect for anyone who loves classic Christmas charm! 🎄✨
Fa La La & Frosty Fun
Fa la la and frosty cheer! ⛄🎶 This winter card features products from Spellbinders’ Wonderland Collection, with a joyful trio of snowmen singing their hearts out. I added embossed snowflakes, glittery snowbanks, and pastel scarves to bring this cozy scene to life. A foiled “Fa La La La La” sentiment adds the perfect finishing touch. This one is packed with charm and sparkle for the season. ❄️💙
Soft Florals & Sweet Wishes
Soft florals and sweet vibes 🌸💙 This card features the Happy Day stamp set from Simon Says Stamp’s Friend Like Yourelease, brought to life with a no-line watercolor technique using my Zig markers.
