It's time for another TGIF Challenge card! 🎈

This week's Color Challenge features Smoky Slate, Night of Navy, and Granny Apple Green, and I couldn't resist creating a cheerful balloon card with these fun colors.

I used the Balloon Festoon bundle to create the festive focal point, and for the background, I added my own striped design using Luxe White Specialty DSP, Smoky Slate ink, and a Blending Brush. It's a simple technique that adds just the right amount of texture and interest without taking attention away from the balloons.

I love how these three colors work together to create a card that's bright, clean, and perfect for celebrating someone special.

Visit my blog for all the details, and then come play along with us at TGIF Challenges! I'd love to see what you create with this color combination.

It’s time for another TGIF Challenge! 🍓🫐

My new card on the blog today was created for the Inspiration Challenge, and I had so much fun pulling ideas from the inspiration photo.

The watercolor look immediately stood out to me, along with the layout of four items in each corner, so I used both of those elements to guide my design. I created this sweet card using the Made With Sweetness bundle, and I love how bright and playful it turned out!

If you’d like to see exactly how it all came together, I’ve shared a full explanation of the products and techniques I used over on my blog.

I’d love for you to check it out—and come play along with us!

I have a new card on the blog today titled “A Sketch Interpretation with Lily of the Valley.” 🌿

Isn’t it amazing how something so simple can turn into something so beautiful? At first glance, this sketch is just a few lines and three diamonds—but once you start adding layers, textures, and details, it really comes to life.

This card was inspired by last month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday sketch challenge, and I used the Lily of the Valley stamp set to bring it all together.

I incorporated several techniques on this one:
✨ The white flowers were softly colored with a Blending Brush
✨ A masking technique was used on the stamped images
✨ Coloring was done with Darling Duckling and Garden Green ink using a Blender Pen

I love how all of these elements work together to create something that feels much more complex than the sketch itself.

🌿 Something new is here… and I’m so excited to share it with you!

Jen Roque from Stamp Camp with Jen and I are back with a brand-new Spring At-Home Craft Retreat—and this one is a little different (in the best way!).

Instead of multiple classes, we’ve created a mega retreat experience focused on one absolutely gorgeous suite: Valley in Bloom. Think fresh greens, soft blues, and those sweet little lily of the valley florals… it’s everything I love about spring.

• Enough supplies to make 10 cards
• Pre-cut cardstock (yay for stress-free crafting!)
• Beautiful DSP + embellishments included
• Step-by-step tutorials + videos for every project
• Plus some fun surprises tucked inside your box

This is truly a treat-yourself kind of retreat—everything is prepped and ready so you can just sit down and enjoy creating.

📦 Boxes ship May 29

I would love to have you join us for this fresh, creative spring experience! 💚

I have a new card on the blog today for the Inspiration Challenge, and I just love how this one came together! 🌿🌸

The inspiration photo with the shelves of plants and books gave me the idea to create something with a fresh, garden feel, and these new upcoming products from the May–Aug 2026 catalog were perfect for it.

I used the Garden Gatherings stamp set along with the beautiful Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP for the background. The soft colors and natural elements really capture that cozy, botanical vibe from the inspiration.

Be sure to stop by the blog to see all the details — and I’d love for you to play along with us and create your own card inspired by this challenge!
