It’s the last weekend for this fun challenge and Jenn has brilliant inspiration featuring her favorite place, Cape Cod! We can’t wait to see where you call home so be sure to enter the challenge by Sunday September 1 at 11:59PM ET.


Jenn created a colorful ocean themed card to highlight her home in Cape Cod, Massachusetts! She used Distress Watercolor Pencils and Ocean Wave Stencils to make a beautiful backdrop!

She also colored all the seashells from How You Bean? Seashell Add-On with Distress Watercolor Pencils. And of course, she dusted the shells with some Chunky Glitter.


To identify her favorite place, Jenn stamped out Cape Cod using Quinn’s ABCs, adding color with the watercolor pencils before cutting them out with the coordinating dies. These also got the glitter treatment! Then she stamped Massachusetts with Riley’s ABCs and another seashell from either On the Beach or Mermaid for You.


Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful inspiration, Jenn!

Hi everyone, it’s Samantha! My card depicts a sunny day poolside! Because, let’s face it, in South Carolina, in the summer, you HAVE to be doing something by the water if you’re outside! It’s SO hot here!
We spend lots of our summer days cooling off at the pool, and I thought this would be the perfect card to showcase a fun summer day here!


I stamped the images from Pool Party and My Rainbow and then colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Once everything was dry, I added some details with a white gel pen, then die cut them out with their coordinating dies!


I die cut out the pool with the Stitched Pond set, and then ran it through my die cutting machine with the Stitched Ripple Backdrop, to give it some texture! I also used my craft knife to cut along one of those perforated ripples to make it look like the unicorn was swimming!

I used the Brick Stencil and some Lost Shadow Distress Oxide Ink to create the soft tile area surrounding the pool! The pool itself was ink blended with Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina.


Lastly, I die cut the letters using Henry’s ABCs from some white cardstock. And then I used the Distress Oxide Inks in Fossilized Amber, Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade to add a bright and sunshine-y sentiment!

Thank you so much for inspiring us today, Samantha! Your card is so full of sunshine and fun!

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our There’s No Place Like Home Challenge! Since Pennsylvania literally means “Penn’s Woods”, I wanted to go to the forest for this one.


I started by combining images from a whole bunch of stamp sets, including Butterfly Kisses, Scootin’ By, Porcu-pine for You, You Autumn Know, Scripty Autumn Sentiments, Let’s Go Nuts, You Are Sublime, and I Like You (A Lotl). I stamped the images in Jet Black Ink, colored them with my Copic markers, and trimmed them out with their matching dies.


Then I blended Distress Oxide Inks onto a panel of Bristol Cardstock. Working from the top down, I used Seedless Preserves, Worn Lipstick, Spun Sugar, and Bundled Sage. Then I die cut the Spooky Forest Backdrop out of another panel of Bristol and blended on Bundled Sage for the grass, and Vintage Photo and Gathered Twigs for the trees. I did some splatter detail with the Vintage Photo and added some metallic watercolor splatter on the sky with the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors.


I added some 1/8” double-sided tape to the back of some of the branches so I could adhere my leaves to the treetops, then popped the Spooky Forest Backdrop over the background with foam tape and glued that to a Kraft card base. I adhered the rest of the images with a mix of foam tape and liquid glue. For the sentiment I stamped the word “hello” on the background, then stamped the word “fall” in Walnut Ink and used the matching die to cut it out. I finished off the card with some Stardust Stickles. I also did some stamping on the inside in Walnut Ink.

If you’d like to watch the whole process of creating this card, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty! We hope you’re enjoying our There’s No Place Like Home Challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant inspiration today, Christy!
