Our beautiful floral skull is just so pretty - and I couldn't help pairing it with the Beautiful Roses background. I know, it's quite a bit of pink - but it is really pretty in person, I promise!

Birthday Fun
Hey Crafters -
A handmade Happy Birthday card is a great way to show someone you care and are thinking of them on their special day. I had fun creating this card using the new Star and Flourish Birthday stamp. Of course I had to pair it with one of my favorite stamps, Calories Fall Out .
I colored the cupcakes using Karin Brushmarkers. I added a few colored dots which coordinated with the colors of the cupcakes. The final touch was adding a few bitty sparkles in the stars surrounding the sentiment.

I hope you were inspired. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

The Best Therapist
Deb here again with one of her favorite new releases for February !! It's no secret that I am a devoted cat mom to our sweet Pixie. So The Best Therapist stamp was one of the first I wanted to create with this month .. I combined it with another fabulous earlier release - Hang In There - for my card . Don't these go together perfectly ?!?!?! I think so !!
- I stamped the Hang In There image on White Mixed Media paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink .
- The Best Therapist sentiment was stamped below with Catherine Pooler Peppermint Scrub ink .
- On a Kraft card base, I adhered a piece of red polka-dotted patterned paper.
- The completed stamped panel was then adhered to the card base.
- I placed a pink heart sticker on the right side of the sentiment.
All of the February Release Stamps are 15% off through February 8th without any code needed . But you can use my code - TJ10Deb - to save 10% off all other supplies .

Dancing on Mulberry Paper
Hello Friends!
Today’s card features something a little bit different. You’ve probably tried the simple technique of dragging a mini ink pad across your card stock to create colorful stripes - like I’ve done on this card. But what is different is I didn’t put the ink on card stock, I used a textured paper called mulberry paper.
So next time you feel like trying something new - search for a natural fiber paper like mulberry tree paper. It’s stronger than teabag paper or tissue paper .
Supply list
Red card base (optional to use any embossing folder on this)
Stamps used: African Dancers, Giraffe border stamp, and African proverbs set of 8
Three -> 4 x 5.25 pieces of white card stock plus scrap piece for inside sentiment.
Black archival ink pad
Adhesive
Soft stencil brush (Technique Junkies carries a wonderful set of colorful soft brushes)
How I created this:
- I first pulled mini Catherine pooler inks across a large size piece of mulberry paper. I used three colors from the Urban oasis collection (orange peel, hot tub, and lemongrass).
- Let the inks dry completely then cut the mulberry paper down to the size you need for your card then adhere it to a piece of white card stock so it will be sturdy. Attach piece of black card stock (to the back) that is slightly larger to give it a small frame.
- Using a stamping platform I stamped the african dancers using black archival ink. You may need to stamp more than once to get a nice bold black on the mulberry paper.
- Repeat with the giraffe border stamp stamping it along the bottom.
- Add a piece of foam behind the black piece(optional) then glue to your card base.
- Using Catherine Pooler Rouge red I stenciled the upper left and bottom right corner of the card front. I added some of the stenciling to the inside to bring it all together.
- I chose one of the new African proverbs to add a sentiment to the inside. You could stamp this directly to a 4 x 5.25 card panel if you didn’t want to add another piece of card stock. I sometimes stamp things crooked so I’m in the habit of stamping sentiments on small piece of card stock :)
I think this card would be perfect for numerous celebratory occasions. I’d love to hear what you think!
All of these stamps are automatically 15% off through 2/8/2024.
If you “Gotta have them all” you will save $28.09
Everything else (like the inks & stencil) is 10% off when you use my Design Team discount (TJ10AJ) at checkout.
Keep crafting! ~ AJ ~

Margarita
Hello Junkies!
I love making shaker cards. I think all the moving bits just adds an element of fun. I filled it with two different colors of glass beads. The top of the glass has chunky white glitter glued to the top. I thought it kind of looked like salt. What makes this card special is the sentiment. Have you ever wondered if there is a margarita out there thinking of you?
