Quatrefoil fun

 I combined a stencil and stamp set to make this card, and used another set for the sentiment. The inks used were Gina K. Passionate Pink, Wild Lilac, and Red Velvet, and the stamp/stencil set was from Scrapbook and Cards Today. The sentiment is by Hero Arts. A somewhat unconventional Valentine!

Let's Stamp Together July 2023

 I made this card in the Scrapbook & Cards Today Let's Stamp Together July class with Kelly Kohout from Honey Bee stamps. It's considered the July class, even though it was actually held August 9th. The theme was Love You to the Core, and we made several fun apple themed cards. For this one, I created the background by stamping with Distress Oxide Antique Linen on cream paper, then colored the other stamped apple images using a stencil and Distress Oxides in Lumberjack Plaid, Rustic Wilderness, Antique Linen, and Spun Sugar. I then die cut them using the coordinating dies. The sentiment was stamped in Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink, and the front panel was attached to a top folding A2 card base in red using Altenew foam tape.

HBD!

 This is another card from the Crop & Create Delivered weekend. This one was taught by Angie from LDRS Creative. I shared it with my sister-in-law for her birthday. It did involve fussy cutting, not my favorite as everyone knows, but the cutting wasn't that bad and the card came out pretty nice. I know I'll be using these sets for other cards in the future.

Be Kind

Kindness was the theme of many of the cards we made over the four days of the Crop & Create Delivered Spring 2023 weekend. I especially like this one made with layering stencils and coordinating stamps from Brutus Monroe. Simon Hurley's inks give it such a pop!
 

Fun with Gina K.!

 

Here's another card from the Crop & Create Delivered Spring 2023 classes. This one was taught by the incredible Gina K. using her new Curved Floral Banner stencil and die set along with her Masks and Fillers stencil and her beautiful inks as well as Master Layout 2. I love how it turned out.

Fun with Pink & Main

 This card from the Crop and Create Spring 2023 event was taught by Michelle from Pink & Main. It's a pop-up card that fits in an A2 envelope. This one has a little more masculine flair than most cards. All dies and patterned paper are by Pink & Main. I colored the stars and sentiments to match with markers-I think I got pretty close.

What a Wonderful Weekend!

 I've been out sick for a couple of weeks, but the most important thing I've done recently is attended the Crop and Create Delivered Spring 2023 workshop put on by Scrapbook & Cards Today. I made twenty-five cards and have several more yet to make from the wonderful workshops and fabulous instructors. Thank you Catherine and all the folks at Scrapbook & Cards Today, as well as Sara, Angie, Meghann, Libby, Kim, Laura, Taylor, Simon, Gina, Stephanie, Jenn, Yasmin, Christopher, Cathy, Kelly, Michelle, Angie, and Jennifer. We laughed, we cried, we had the best time. This was my first time attending but definitely won't be my last. The card to the left is a top folding shaped card from the Stamps of Life class. All the needed supplies, from the paper to the felt to the shaker bits to the dies and the paper pad that the kitty with the present is from was provided by Stamps of Life. They aren't the only generous manufacturer, all the class providers sent wonderful assortments of product-twelve and a half pounds total to 2900 attendees! I can't say enough good things about this event!
