Hello Crafty Friends!!
After being away three weeks in July, I was able to get back into my craft room this week. I have made a TON of cards for some of the design teams I am on but I was also able to make a few with some recent challenges.
My first card I created for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #748.
I have been digging out some of the card kits that have been piling up in my craft room to create cards. For this card, I used the Simon Says Stamp April 2026 "A Little Artsy" kit for this card.
The paper is Beautifully Imperfect from Spellbinders. The paper was a bit thin so I covered white cardstock with the pattern paper so I can distress the edges of all my pieces.
I added some stamping in black to the background paper using the Simon Says Stamp A Little Artsy stamp set. The sentiment was created using this same stamp set and cut with the matching die.
I am entering this card into the Freshly Made Sketches #748 and this weeks JUGS Challenge #835-Die Week Anything Goes.
The second card I created for this round of the Color Hues Challenge #138 Navy and Teal.
Once again, I used the SSS April 2026 Card Kit to create my card. The butterflies and the sentiment was stamped using the A Little Artsy stamp set.
This was a ton of fun to create. I used the stencil included in the kit to color in the butterflies with Peacock Oxide Ink-also included in the kit. I then added some SSS white splatter medium across the card.
Once the panel was dry, I tied some teal twine around the card front, added the sentiment and then adhered it to an A2, white card base. My last step was to adhere some teal jewels around the sentiment.
I am entering this card into the following challenges: The Color Hues Challenge #138 and the Tic Tac Toe Challenge #298-the top horizontal line-sparkle, ribbon/twine and butterflies.

Once again I used the April 2026 SSS Card Kit for my card. I stamped the flowers and the print in black on a white card front.
I used the stencil in the kit to shade the flowers in with MFT Coral Crush and Persimmon dye ink.
The background is Salvaged Patina Distress Ink.
The twine is from my stash and the sequins are from one of the Spellbinders Advent Calendars.
Well, that is all from me today. I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a GREAT day!!

Love seeing the variety of designs that you came up with using that SSS kit, Nora! The butterfly design in blue and navy is just stunning.
