Hi there! Today I am joining my friend, Lea, as we remember her son, Layton, with a special fundraiser blog hop & card drive. We are raising money to purchase a $50 Starbucks gift card for all 50 beds in the level 4 NICU at the U of M Masonic Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis, MN.
My project features the Layton’s Legacy stamp & die set. I embossed the butterfly & sentiment in clear and blended Pinkfresh Studio inks using Mint, Ocean Breeze & Sapphire. I die cut a window into Fog cardstock and popped it up over the butterfly.
–SHARE – not everyone is able to financially donate, but sharing on your social media outlets is welcomed & helpful.
–CREATE – this year’s card drive theme is “Sensitive Sympathy” geared towards parents who have lost a pregnancy due to miscarriage or stillbirth, infant or child. They can get all the card drive info HERE. (It will also be linked in my main post.)

Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for Day 2 of their Cheer and Joy release blog hop. I’ve created a merry & bright project using some of the new products from the Cheer & Joy release.
How cute is this gnome? I think he could also pass for a cute little wizard, too, but I added a tiny little jingle bell to the tip of his hat to make him festive. I just used a mini glue dot to hold the bell. For his nose I used an E000 Copic to give it the flesh color on white cardstock.
I popped up the jingle gnome onto khaki cardstock and embossed a sentiment from the CZ Clean Line Christmas set. This card is tall and skinny(3.25″x6.75″) to fit the gnome better. I looked high and low, hunting for my action wobble springs. I think it would be fun to wobble the gnome so that the bell would jingle.
You can check out the festive new Cheer & Joy release HERE. There’s also a walk-through reveal video over on the Simon Says Stamp blog HERE. More inspiration to come! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi there! Today I’m joining Pinkfresh Studio for their Holiday Release Blog Hop!
I’ve created a couple of cards using the gorgeous new products.
My first card features the Merry Days stamp & Die. I create a stripy background using strips of solid cardstock. I embossed the Merry Days tree image in white onto the colorful strips and popped the tree over top, followed by an embossed sentiment.
I embossed the wreath and bow image in clear and blended some of the gorgeous new Pinkfresh Studio inks for color. I adhered thin strips of the same solid cardstock down the center of the card. For the sentiment I used the Classic Holiday Word dies and added clear droplets for embellishment.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards:
