I love this new Through the Rainbow builder stencil and stamp set designed by Amy Tangerine for Altenew. I really love the whimsical rainbow and sentiments that pair so well with it.

I ink blended my stencil layers and stamped the various polka dots, lines etc in complementary colors. I love the way it turned out.


I stamped my Shine Bright sentiment and aded my favourite iridescent gems and a pink candy heart. This card is going to a very special young lady for her 19th birthday and I am super happy with it.

Simon Says: Four Legged Friends

 Hello crafty friends it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week Simon Says: Four Legged Friends and we are featuring Penny Black products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!

I love making dog cards, one of my favourites so I absolutely wanted to use this Waggingly Happy stamp set by Penny Black. I started by placing my stamps and the die I wanted to use to ensure proper placement and stamped my dog. I coloured her in with COPIC markers and then ink blended my Salvaged Patina Distress Ink in the background. 


I put my panel into my Misti and lined up my sentiment and stamped it. I then picked some Honey Bee paper and die cut my Waffle Flower Friend die and glued it to the panel. To finish off, some pink candy hearts.

Simon Says: Shimmer and Shine!

 Hello crafty friends it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week Simon Says: Shimmer and Shine and we are featuring Paper Rose products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!

Come join in on the fun, you have the chance of winning a $25 gift card to the fantastic Simon Says Stamp store!      



I knew I wanted to use this woodgrain paper for my background by Paper Rose, I just love the colour and the fun texture it adds to my card. I decided to pair it with my new Simon Says Stamp Layered Dandy Flower and Windswept Leaves dies.

I cut my panel to A2 size and set it aside to die cut my flowers from Neena Solar White card stock and ink blended some light grey on the flower, pink and yellow on both centres and glued them together.


I die cut my leaves from teal coloured card stocks, I have seen this colour used a lot with leaves lately and I love the contrast. I added the flowers and leaves to the panel using both for tape and glue. I then die cut the Miss You die (one of my favourites by Simon Says Stamp) with a mix of white glitter card stock and gold card stock (both shimmer and shine).

To finish off, some of my favourite Pink Fresh Iridescent Clear Drops.

Simon Says: Alcohol Ink and/or Drinks

 Hello crafty friends it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week Simon Says: Alcohol Ink and/or Drinks and we are featuring always amazing Tim Holtz products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!

Always so much fun playing with Alcohol Inks, I always wonder why I don't play with them more.  My favourites are the Tim Holtz Alcohol Pearl Inks, I love the shimmer they offer.

I started by inking and blending my panel with rainbow pearl alcohol inks and set it aside to dry.  I die cut my floral panel and the Happy Birthday dies.


Once my panel was dry, I glued the black panel to the background and some gold Tonic drops. Once that was dry, I added my sentiment using foam tape!
