EEK! It’s a Skeleton Party…and a Blog Hop!
Card #3 in my Halloween series is bringing the spooky vibes—with a little sass! 💀 I used the Halloween Doodles stamps and coordinating dies from Simon Says Stamp’s Fall and Halloween release to spotlight this cheeky skeleton, potion bottle, and hat. The Sketched Manor from Card #2 makes a subtle cameo in the tone-on-tone embossed background. That giant “EEK!” in neon green? Pure Halloween drama. 🧪🖤

Sending Joy on Paper Sails
This cheerful card was inspired by my talented friend Maggie (@teacher11494), whose geometric designs always spark ideas! I paired her style with Spellbinders’ August Stamp and Die of the Month and the Embossing Folder of the Month to create a clean and colorful layout. The ink-blended blocks bring in playful color, while the layered textures and stamped paper sailboat add charm and movement. It’s a fun mix of whimsy and bold design!

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. 💙

Hap-bee Birthday!
This handmade birthday card, created with products from Simon Says Stamp’s Moments In Time release, is full of cheerful energy and playful details! 🐝💛 The star is a tag featuring a birthday bee, balloons, and a cupcake — all colored in bright, happy shades. On the right side, I created a patterned panel using the new Swiss Dots stamp set. I stamped it multiple times in different colors, slightly offset each time, to create a colorful, confetti-style design. Finished with shimmery gems and a punny sentiment, this card is perfect for a joyful celebration!

This Bee is Ready to Party 🐝🌼 + Blog Hop Day 1!
This bright and cheerful bee-day card was created using products from Simon Says Stamp’s Moments In Time release — and it’s full of sunshine and smiles! 🐝💛 The star of the show is the dimensional tattered daisy, paired with a party-ready bee and a fun embossed sentiment on a diagonal yellow strip. The colors are warm and happy, and a few translucent embellishments add just the right amount of sparkle. Whether it’s for a birthday or a just-because moment, this handmade card brings the buzz in the best way!

A Thoughtful Thank You
This sweet and simple thank you card features the You Are My Favorite release from @SimonSaysStamp 💜 I paired a rich purple background with delicate white florals and a twine-tied wreath for a soft, heartfelt look. It’s classic, clean, and perfect for year-round gratitude. #SSSYouAreMyFavorite
