INK ON 3 -NO LINE WATERCOLORING INK
This month, I’ve utilized a no line coloring technique on the Butt Cracker Suite images, transforming them into adorable figures lounging in inner tubes! Who knew a ballerina tutu could double as a swimming tube? And one of the images was a perfect fit to create a Santa in a peppermint-colored inner tube, making it ideal for a holiday ornament—especially fun for those crafty friends celebrating the holidays in warmer climates! 😂🌴

I’m excited to share a fun project featuring one of the newly released stamps from Pajama Crafter Stamps called Polar Pals! This adorable stamp set is perfect for the cozy holiday season, and I’ve paired it with some dies from my stash to create a layered tag that adds a special touch to any gift. 🎁✨
This layered tag isn’t just a pretty addition to gifts; you can also think outside the box! Here are a few more creative ways to use tags:
Elements on a Scrapbook Page: Incorporate your tags as decorative elements on your scrapbook pages. They make great titles or embellishments!
Christmas Tree Ornaments: Use your tags as ornaments for your Christmas tree, adding a personal and handmade touch to your holiday decor.
Banners & Garlands: Create a beautiful banner with tags strung together to celebrate special occasions or to decorate your craft space.
Bulletin Board Décor: Jazz up your bulletin boards with themed tags that can be changed out seasonally to keep things fresh.
There’s so much to do with tags, and I hope this project inspires you to get crafty!

Featuring Bruno Bee Keeper & The Bees Knees Paper Pad
I am absolutely buzzing with excitement to share my latest creation with you all—a vibrant A2 sized card using the adorable “Bruno Bee Keeper” stamp set! This set is simply a delight, packed with charming bears, lovely flowers, and a host of other fun elements that bring a sweet touch to any project.
Card Details: For this card, I chose a sunny yellow honeycomb paper from the coordinating 6×6 pattern paper pack. It’s just as cute as it sounds, featuring 24 double-sided sheets that include the most delightful bee and honeycomb designs! 🐻🍯
The stamp set includes various images, such as:
Cute bears 🐻
Flowers 🌸
Birds 🐥
Bees 🐝
A bee house 🏠
A tree with a beehive 🌳🍯
I added some sparkle to the bee’s wings using Stickles and created a soft cloud background with a stencil. For extra shine, I used Crystal Effects Glaze on the honey drips from the jar and the hive. The result is a card that truly shines, just like honey! ✨
Sweet Sentiments: The “Bruno Bee Keeper” set also includes lovely sentiments like “Bee Brave” and “You’re My Honeybee,” which add a personal touch to every card. 💖 These messages are perfect for showing support and affection to friends and loved ones.
Join the Buzz! Your support means the world to me! 💕 Please take a moment to like or comment if you enjoy what you see—it really helps me know that my designs resonate with fellow crafters and friends.

Introducing the Project: Lucky Leprechaun Fun Fold Card! 🌟
Folds & Mails Flat – A2 size card
Today, I’m thrilled to share a whimsical St. Patrick’s Day card that features a fun fold technique. This A2-sized card lays flat for easy mailing but transforms into a stunning 3D display that beautifully showcases adorable patterned papers and festive images all in one delightful project! It stands majestically on a desk or shelf, ready to spread cheer and admiration.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
A selection of vibrant patterned papers that evoke the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day from the Emerald Isle 6×6 Paper Pad.
The cheerful Leprechaun, three-leaf clover and Happy St. Patty’s Day sentiment stamps are from the You’re My Pot of Gold stamp set.
Paper Trimmer, liquid adhesive, Heavy Weight white cardstock, Acetate, foam/dimensional foam popdots/tape, bone folder, scoring board, favorite coloring medium and black ink.
Crafting Details: I’ll guide you through the fun fold technique that makes this card truly special! These folds add depth and dimension to your design, making it a fantastic way to display cute patterns and playful images. Each layer tells a story, embodying the excitement of both St. Patrick’s Day and the upcoming March festivities!
Start with your standard A2 panel- 5.5 in x 4.25 in
Next, using a scoring board or your paper trimmer with a score blade and take your panel in portrait and score 3/4 in from the left and right longer sides of the panel.
Scored down the side at 3/4 inchPanel Scored at 3/4 inch on both sidesCut 2 strips white cardstock at 1 1/4 inch x 5 3/4 inScore BOTH strips using scoring board or paper trimmer at 3/4 in, 2 in, 3 3/4 in, and then at 5 in.
Scored each at: 3/4 in, 2 in, 3 3/4 in and 5 in
Then using your bone folder, mountain fold each
mountain fold each scored lineHere is what we have created as your base without embellishing or glue
As you craft, enjoy the process of layering papers and arranging your stamped images. Every cut and stamp will bring you one step closer to creating a unique piece that captures the essence of celebration.
Now we need to cut patterned papers & embellish
Green Plaid Paper: 2 thin strips cut 3/4 in wide by 5 1/2 inch long, glued to the inside of the A2 panel in those 2 flaps you scored on each side. Cut another larger panel of green plaid 2 3/8 x 5 1/2 inch. See photo above for placement.
Clover Patterned Paper: Cut 1 strip at 1 inch x 4 inches and another, 1 inch x 3 inches. I cut the 4 inch x 1 inch into 4 separate 1 inch pieces, which are the 4 clover squares below. I cut tge 3 inch piece x 1 in half, leaving two separate 1 x 1.5 inch pieces, which are placed in the middle of the 2 squares. The picture below should give you a good idea of placement.
All the cut pieces cut and shown where to place when decorating your stadium card.The back of project. Cut 2 strips of patterned paper in clover 3/4 in wide by 5 1/2 inches. These will be glued last to cover the seams along the side edges after you glue the top stadium strip and bottom stadium strip.
Cut a piece of clear acetate 1 3/8 inch x 4 inches. This will be placed strategically tucked inside the center panel, once the card base is assembled and decorated. You’ll want to use glue dots or foam tape sparingly to embellish the acetate, being careful of not having foam tape or glue overlap causing some areas to stick together that we want to pop out freely.
Final Touch:
Stamp leprechaun image with Memento black ink and color with Copic Markers (or stamp and color with YOUR favorite medium)
Copic Color Combos:
E05, E11, E00, E000, R20
G24, G46, YG03
Y00, Y02
E07, E37, E35, E33
C7, C5,C3
Complete your card with the adorable Leprechaun and a spirited sentiment that embraces the fun of the season. I used Seafoam Stickles (glitter glue) to add extra shine and interest to my shamrock and coins. This isn’t just a regular greeting card; it’s a joyful art piece perfect for anyone who loves a little luck in their life!
So grab your supplies and dive into this crafty adventure as we celebrate Valentine’s Day while eagerly preparing for the vibrant energies of March Madness!
