Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Bingo Board Challenge! This time I decided go to for the Letter I column, which included Bright, Critter, Lawn Cuts, Stamp, and Cute. Since I am always in need of birthday cards, I went for the adorable critters from Really High Five. I stamped the images in Jet Black Ink, colored them with my Copic markers, and trimmed them out with their matching dies.


Next, I chose a piece of patterned paper from the Rainbow Ever After 6×6 pad that resembled a sunrise and trimmed it down with the largest Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I also trimmed out two of the Puffy Cloud Borders and some additional clouds from Spring Showers from white cardstock. I arranged these over the patterned paper so I knew which clouds would fall where on the panel, and blended a tiny bit of Distress Oxide Ink so they would match, using Salvaged Patina for the bottom, Squeezed Lemonade for the clouds in the center of the sky, and Saltwater Taffy for the top.


I stamped a sentiment on the bottom puffy cloud border in black ink. I adhered the taller one to the card with liquid glue and the bottom one with foam tape. Then I added my images with a mix of both. I chose another piece of striped patterned paper and trimmed it down with the largest Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I adhered this to an Apricot card base and glued the focal panel over top. To finish it off, I embellished the card with tiny iridescent hearts and Stardust Stickles.

Jenn is back to share some charming Winnie the Pooh inspiration with us today!


Jenn created this adorable woodsy design with Woodgrain cardstock and the Large Mini Slimline die set. She added Puffy Cloud Borders to look like the treetop and bushes. Winnie the Pooh is played by our Really High Five bear, all he needs is a red t-shirt for a costume. The honey jar is from Milk and Cookies.

Then, Jenn included the bee and the sign from Berry Special. The hand-lettered sign is a fun detail!


Jenn stamped out the quote using Harold’s ABCs and Black Licorice ink.



Thank you, Jenn! This card is so adorable!

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Show Us Where You Live Challenge! Since I already did a card inspired by Presque Isle State Park, this time I decided to do more subtle nods to my home state of Pennsylvania. Our most famous animal is Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog who comes out of his burrow every February 2nd and determines whether or not we will have six more weeks of winter based on if he sees his shadow. Groundhog’s Day has passed but we still have plenty of these critters here so I thought it might be fun to try to recreate one by transforming one of the beavers from Wood You Be Mine?


To turn this into a birthday card, I added in images from A Bug Deal, and Really High Five, stamped them in Jet Black ink, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies. I colored all the little party accessories in blue and gold, our state colors.


Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn, and the name means Penn’s Woods. We do have lots of forests here, so I thought the Forest Backdrop would be the perfect frame for my scene. I die cut it from Dark Brown Woodgrain Cardstock, and cut the trees from Cilantro and Noble Fir. I also die cut the grass portion of Mushroom Border from Noble Fir.


Then I created a background by blending Broken China Distress Oxide Inks onto Bristol Smooth Surface Cardstock using the Cloudy Stencil. I also darkened up the edges of the grass and trees by using Mowed Lawn on the Cilantro Cardstock and Pine Needles on the Noble Fir Cardstock.

I popped the frame over the background using Scotch 3M Foam Tape, added my images with liquid glue, and finished with a custom sentiment combining phrases from Let’s Toast and Really High Five. I also finished off the inside of the card using Noble Fir Ink.

You still have time to play along with our challenge! We can’t wait to see how you interpret this one!

Thank so much for this creative inspiration, Christy!
