Jenn Shurkus Inspiration Party

October 1, 2025

Hi there! Today I’m joining my crafty friend, Jenn Shurkus, to help her celebrate 20 years of blogging. She is hosting an inspiration party and we are each creating something inspired from her work over the years.

Below is a card created by Jenn. You can see her blog post HERE.

I was inspired by her warm color palette and wanted to recreate something similar in color feel and with florals.

The Greetery-Wild Wetlands

For my card I used the Capsule Basics & Wild Wetlands dies. I added a foil border using the Capsule Borders 1 Hot Foil set. I used all solid colored cardstock and blended some color to the floral die cuts to mimic Jenn’s dreamy blended effect. For the sentiment I used the Banner Basics stamp set.

STAMPtember® with Hero Arts!

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project featuring the fun, new STAMPtember® collaboration with Hero Arts called Snowy & Bright. I fell in love with this one. I love this simplistic hand drawn style of ice skaters with the adorable pup looking on.

SSS-STAMPtember®, Hero Arts-Snowy & Bright

I stamped the images with black ink and colored with Copics. I am happy to report that this new black ink is indeed copic friendly. I don’t say that lightly, because most have given me such a headache. This one did not bleed!!
