Hey Now Get Animated - New Release from Kindred Stamps

Hey friends! It's time another Fandom Friday project. Today, I’m using playint with the latest release from Kindred Stamps, featuring the “Get Animated” set. If you grew up loving early 2000s TV (like me), you’re going to adore this nostalgic blast from the past. I’ll walk you through my coloring process with olo markers and how I used inspiration from the show’s logo to create a vibrant card that’s full of personality. In today's video I show my coloring of the animated character and her “real-world” counterpart.

To bring it all together, I stenciled a bright pink cloud background with Distress Oxide in Picked Raspberry, adding a blue border inspired by the show’s logo. The finishing touches—like the “Hey Now” sentiment and a few splashes of shimmery yellow watercolor—made this card pop! As a bonus, I used the same stamp set to create a matching shaker card, incorporating those same bright, nostalgic colors. Both designs celebrate early 2000s fashion and fun, perfect for fans of this beloved show. I hope you enjoyed crafting along with me and that these cards inspire your next creative project! Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting!

Gorgeous Friend Sunflower Card with Scrapbook.com

I’m thrilled to share my contribution to the December 2024 Oh So Inspired Collaboration Hop today! This month, my talented crafty friends and I drew inspiration from a project by Justin from “Just a Note by Justin,” whose gorgeous sunflower card captivated me. Justin’s mastery of ink blending and coloring never fails to amaze me, but for this project, I focused on his card’s layout and design.

For my card, I was particularly inspired by the gold cardstock border on Justin’s design. To recreate this look, I used A2 holographic gold cardstock paired with a piece of ombre blue-to-white cardstock, trimming the ombre piece slightly smaller to let the gold peek through. I also die-cut sunflowers and leaves from ombre patterned paper.

Building the focal point was my favorite part. I created an arched frame using nested A2 arch dies and arrange the flowers and leaves around the arch. I used foam adhesive for dimension on the final sunflower and sentiment, ensuring everything popped against the background. To finish, I added sequins for sparkle, channeling Justin’s knack for incorporating gems and shine into his cards.

I’m so happy with how it turned out and grateful for Justin’s inspiring work. Let me know what you think of my interpretation of his card, and don’t forget to check out the playlist linked in the description box of my video to see more fabulous projects from this month’s hop. Thank you for crafting with me today!

Merry Tone on Tone Faux Embossed Card with Pretty Pink Posh

I have a softer card to share with you today using products from Pretty Pink Posh. My card has a tone on tone look using die cuts which gives the card a look and feel like an embossing folder was used. I started with die cutting the pine needles (all three sizes) from the Holiday Wreath Builder Dies - each die four times from white cardstock. I cut a panel of white cardstock to 4x5-¼” and glued the pine needle die cuts around the panel. When the glue was dry, I trimmed off any of the small die cuts that extended past the panel. I used an iridescent glitter spray on top of the panel to give it some shine and make sure all of those pieces were glued down.

Next I stamped my favorite of the vintage ornaments from Holiday Ornaments Stamp Set and colored it in with alcohol makers. I also stamped the “merry” sentiment and used the Coordinating Dies to cut them both out. I used a small hole punch to add a hole to the top of the ornament and tied a bow with baker’s twine. I adhered the ornament to the center of the card and the sentiment just below it. To give the sentiment dimension without foam, I cut the “merry” three more times out of scrap white cardstock and layered them all together before attaching to the card. I hope this simple card brings a smile to your face today!

Let It Snow Holiday Card with Scrapbook.com

For today's card, I dove into a fun and creative project using supplies from Scrapbook.com’s Exclusives line. I loosely followed the December Show Us Your SheetLoad sketch, making a few adjustments to fit the prompts for last Friday’s episode of Craft Roulette. My inspiration for the color palette came from the South Pole's STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement), with its stunning mix of icy blue-greys and soft pinks. I wanted to capture that magical, wintry feel in my design.

I began with a piece of Vintage A2 patterned paper, cutting it down to 4x5-1/4". To give it a softer, weathered look, I blended Tattered Rose Distress Oxide around the edges and added a few splatters of Weathered Wood Spritz for texture. For the three paper panels, I used Christmas smooth cardstock and Winter A2 patterned paper. Once they were trimmed and adhered to the background, I stenciled snowflakes in Weathered Wood Distress Oxide, adding another layer of winter charm to the card.

The sentiment, "Let it Snow," became the centerpiece of my design. I die-cut it from Vintage and Christmas A2 papers, layering the pieces together for dimension. Around the sentiment, I layered die-cut florals made from the same papers and Glossy white cardstock snowflakes for a touch of shine. I love how these elements brought movement and a wintry elegance to the card.

To finish, I added Marine Pops of Color around the arrangement, creating small accents that tied the whole design together. The shimmer and texture brought out the icy blues and rosy pinks inspired by STEVE, completing the look I envisioned. This card captures the magic of winter while blending vintage style with modern techniques, and I’m so happy with how it turned out!

The Nice List Christmas Card with Simon Hurley create.

I’m excited to share how I created this fun, festive card using the Simon Hurley create. Sketched Santas stamp set! I started by stamping the adorable holiday images with Jet Black Archival Ink and then coloring them in with Distress Watercolor Pencils. Once I had them all colored, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Next, I moved on to the background by stenciling the first Sunrays layer on half of a 4x5.25” panel of Stark White Cardstock using Bee Sting ink. I layered the second Sunrays stencil over the first and applied Fake Plant ink. To add a bit of "sparkle", I stamped the Bursts with Shooting Star ink along the bottom half of the panel.

To finish the design, I stamped a sentiment from the Sketched Santas set in Jet Black ink just below the stenciling on the stamped bursts. Then, I adhered the die cut Santas with both foam and liquid adhesive for a bit of dimension. Finally, I attached the panel to an A2 card base, and my card was complete! The combination of bright stenciled rays, the fun Santa images, and the cheerful sentiment gives this card a warm, joyful feel—perfect for the holidays!

Welcome to Camp Card with The Sassy Club

Hi friends! Life has been a whirlwind this week with the holidays, but I’m thrilled to finally share my latest card project with you. This one is a delightful mash-up of Fandom Friday and Sassy Sunday, featuring the adorable Bird N Dog stamp set from The Sassy Club! I had so much fun creating this card, inspired by a beloved Southern California theme park and a dash of my daughter’s Girl Scout troop colors. I used OLO markers for coloring and stamped my images with the Sassy Club Onyx Black ink pad. The dog and bird scouts are dressed in bright green and purple, a nod to Girl Scout uniforms, with simple shading and a few white gel pen fixes for any coloring oopsies. The coordinating dies made cutting these little cuties a breeze, and I paired them with elements from the Camp Builder and National Park Sign die sets to build a fun, dimensional camping scene. 

For the background, I created a stenciled camping map using Distress Inks in shades like Antique Linen, Vintage Photo, and Forest Moss. While I initially planned to keep everything within an A2 card size, I decided to let some elements (like the tree and sign) extend beyond the edges for added impact. Though it’s not envelope-friendly, I think it turned out wonderfully! If you’re replicating this, I’d recommend scaling up to a 5x7 card. This project brought me so much joy, and I hope it inspires you to play with your stamps, dies, and inks in fun, creative ways. Don’t forget to check out the Sassy Club for more fabulous fandom sets. Happy crafting!
