Hero Arts My Monthly Super Hero Instagram Hop

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing another card using the Hero Arts July My Monthly Super Hero kit AND am part of Instagram Hop celebrating the kit!
Sadly the kit is sold out, I still hope you find inspiration in my card and enjoy hopping around.
To start my card, I ink blended Lemonade Squeeze and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide inks on Bristol Smooth cardstock. I love how the 2 colors blend into a pretty melon color in the middle! I also used the Citrus Frame die and the sentiment is from the Squeeze the Day Stamp and Cut, both are bonus items in the Super Hero kit!💛💛

Pinkfresh Studio Daydream Edit collection

Hi crafty friends! Things have been crazy busy here these last few weeks. Mother's day, my birthday, both my boys college graduations and then Father's day! I finally had a moment to craft just for myself to ink up some goodies from Pinkfresh Studio's collection called Daydream Edit.
💥Scroll down for complete supply list💥 
I just love all the gorgeous floral collections from Pinkfresh Studio. They always release complete collections with stamp sets, matching dies, coloring stencil set, sometimes with standalone dies and/or coordinating washi tape. Always beautiful and so thought out!

To start my cards I stamped the image from the Floral Daydream stamp set on Bristol Smooth cardstock and used the Floral Daydream stencil set to color it. Then I die cut the pieces with the Floral Daydream die set. I then used the lightest purple and green in the ink quads to lightly ink the edges of the card front (kind of hard to see in the photos) and then organized the flowers and stems around the white circles from the Stitched Scalloped Circle die set. I used the sentiment from the stamp set as I don't have a large stash of sympathy cards. I love how these turned out!

Spellbinders Whimsical Village collection by Vicky Papaioannou, Part 2

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing another card using the Whimsical Village collection by Vicky Papaioannou for Spellbinders. The collection features 3 die sets, 1 3D embossing folder and 1 sentiment stamp set. They are all fabulously wonky and it makes me so happy!
How delightfully whimsical is this collection?! My card uses the Whimsical Blooms die sets and the Whimsical Wishes stamp set. My background uses the Whimsical Skies embossing folder.  
For my flower piece, I die cut an oval frame from white cardstock using the Scallop and Stitched Edge Ovals die set. I die cut a piece of vellum for the back and used foam squares to adhere it to the card base. I die cut the flowers from 2 shades of lavender and a peach color and arranged them inside the oval. I added some gems and a piece of twine for accents. I love how this turned out!
