Pretty Pink Post May 2026 release, Hello Dandelions

Hi crafty friends! I'm back today with another card using the May 2026 Pretty Pink Posh release. If you missed my first 2 cards, you can find them on this blog post. The release features cute spring bugs themed (spring bugs, bees, caterpillars, etc) stamps, dies and stencil sets!!
πŸ’₯The release is available now! Check it out the entire release HERE.πŸ’₯ 
STITCHED DANDELIONS, LARGE SHADOW HELLO AND STITCHED ROUNDED RECTANGLES DIES
 
For my card, I was inspired by a garden fairy graphic, she had pale hair with light blue and purple in her wing. πŸ’œπŸ’™ So I kept my card soft using a pale blue ink on the Dandelion Background stencil and blue and purple ink to blend on the Stitched Dandelion blooms. And I used white, ivory and pale purple cardstock.
I used the Large Hello Shadow die set for the sentiment and added small pops of sparkle by using glitter cardstock for the flower centers. I love how this turned out!! Stay tuned for more inspiration using this release!!

I started my card by die cutting circles with white and teal cardstock and a piece of the A2 Delight paper by Scrapbook.com.

Pretty Pink Posh May 2026 Release

Hi crafty friends! I'm excited to be guest designing for Pretty Pink Posh for their 2026 May release! You may have seen some sneak peeks from their design team over the last few days showcasing cute spring bugs themed (spring bugs, bees, caterpillars, etc) stamps, dies and stencil sets!!
πŸ’₯The release is available now! Check it out the entire release HERE.πŸ’₯
My fun shaker card uses the Bee Shaker die set and the background uses the Honeycomb stencil with the 2 inks listed below. To fill my little shaker I used the Bee Happy Shaker Beads and I used the black bits from the Busy Bee Clay Confetti for the bee "trail". Of course I had to add a few flower accents from the Floral Wreath Builder die set and the sentiment is from the Bee Additions stamp set with dies.
 This cute caterpillar and bee card uses the Stitched Bugs die set and I heat embossed my sentiment from the Hello Friend stamp set and coordinating die set. To create my scene, I used the main panel from the largest die from the Rounded Stitched Rectangles die set and added some grass along the bottom. Then I arranged the caterpillar, bee, grass, flowers and tucked the caterpillar between the grass blades. The sparkly yellow elements on the bee and flowers are from glitter paper that I colored with a copic marker. I love how these turned out!! Stay tuned for more inspiration using this release!!

Hero Arts You've Got a Friend Collection

 Hi crafty friends! Hero Arts May collections have dropped and I have a duo of cards using the some of the of the You've Got a Friend collection
My cards use the Bitty Floral die set and the Layering stencil. The sentiments are from the Hello Friend stamp set (which has a coordinating die set, not used). 
I used the stencils on Bristol Smooth cardstock and used a few colors on each to give some depth. I kept the design pretty simple with some blooms to the left and the sentiment stamped with black ink. The cards are basically the same with one on pink and one on white, do you have a preference? I'm trying to branch out, but the white one is calling me!
I love how these turned out!
