The June Paper Door Kit from Whimsy Stamps is here! This month's kit is called MERMAID ESCAPE - and has SO many fun things to combine and mix! Here is my card for the release today, with more mermaid fun to come soon!

The papers that come in the kit are just so fun - they are double-sided with prints on one and a solid background on the flip side. Perfect matches! I think these papers are some of my favorites in the Paper Door kits yet!

It's Wedding Season!

Welcome to the DIY Wedding Blog Hop with CutCardStock! Today the Design Team is sharing all sorts of wedding decor, accessories, invitations, wearables, thank-yous, and congratulatory cards to celebrate the June Wedding Season!

There is a $40 Gift Card to CutCardStock up for grabs that will go to one lucky hopper! To be eligible, readers must comment at each stop along the hop. If there are broken links, or you get stuck, head back to the beginning HERE. The entire hop list will be at the end of this post. The winner will be randomly selected and announced on Monday June 10 on the CutCardstock Blog and Facebook page.

I usually give a gift card to wherever the couple is registered for a wedding gift, so I love to make the wedding card that holds that gift. Today I am using stamps from Rubber Stamp Tapestry -- one block sentiment and three tiny peg stamps to create the floral sprays. The peg stamps are about the size of my little fingernail or smaller, and I love creating different designs each time I use them. 
You can see in the photos above some of the steps, and my practice sheet for stamping. I used various inks from my collection, and stamped on Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock. My card is a horizontal standard A2 size. Everything is held together with Scor-Tape.


I cut an oval for my wedding "wreath." The first stamping step was the block LOVE, and then I added little flowers and leaves in a rather haphazardly planned way to create the floral sprays. For embellishment, I added ruffled ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon for a wedding garter look, and some pearls throughout the spray and around the "O", because they are elegant, and also my favorite! Can you find them all? There are 13!

I love being able to personalize each wedding card with the couple's colors, or something special just for them. It's much nicer than a store bought card - or a cheap gift card holder from Target!

I'm so glad you stopped by today! Next up is Teri Wilson. You are sure to love what she has to show you!

Cat Hair, Anyone?

Happy Friday!
It's going to be a beautiful day here in the Central Plains! I am always motivated to straighten or declutter when the weather is nice. Not for long, mind you, ha! But today will be a declutter hour or so. And maybe I will get out the vacuum and clean up some pet hair. No cats here - just two dogs and a turtle, but if I did have a cat.... well, it would have an attitude like Sasha Kitten here:
What's your day look like?

June Rainbow Card Challenge

Happy June, Cardmakers! Have you seen the new challenge at the Rainbow Card Challenge? This month is one of my very favorites: RAINBOW! And it's the neon kind, which is even better, since it has pink!


I am using Let's Shake Our Tail Feathers from Picket Fence Studios. Isn't that image gorgeous? Distress Oxide Inks plus Life Changing Brushes equal an awesome, fun neon rainbow background! I added a few little hearts for embellishments.

Be sure to join us and play along. It's so fun to see what everyone makes, and what wonderful ideas you all have!
