Happy Saturday! Popping in here quick today with another card share featuring new stamps and dies from the Mama Elephant March 2021 Release! The Comic Cover Basic Creative Cuts Die is the perfect backdrop for these darling Little Ninja Agenda images. I just love how each opening is perfect for telling little "mini" stories in each opening. I just love the "storyboard" style of both the Comic Cover Basic and Slim Comic Strip.

Today I'm sharing a couple of slimline cards featuring brand new stamps, dies, and stencils from the new release. I've paired these new layering stamps with some of my favorite Pinkfresh Studio inks for these sweet and pretty designs! I love the way the new slimline stencils add soft, subtle patterns to each card's background, and are the perfect backdrops to the Sweet Garden Birds Set, Sweet Garden Blooms Set, and XL Greetings 2!

Hello friends! Today I'm sharing a glimmer foiled and die cut birthday card using lots of new Spellbinders products! I love mixing and matching supplies and I love that there is a hidden interactive element here: the cupcake wrapper is a pocket and the cupcake pulls out to reveal a hidden stamped message!

Happy new week friends! I am a bit behind sharing the card recipients from the last two weeks so here's the updated list (and check back tomorrow for this coming week's 10 recipients!).
If you follow me on Instagram HERE you will know that I am doing a year-long series where I send out ten cards weekly to followers randomly selected from a Google Form my friend Lori Craig set up for me. I came up with this for a couple of reasons:
I have SO. MANY. CARDS. and not enough friends/family to send them to. You all are so kind and supportive of what I do here and on YouTube and I want to give back!
With how hard 2020 was it has reinforced in me that there's nothing like a handmade card in your mailbox to give a little sunshine to others. Not only does it brighten someone else's day, but it brightens MINE to share with you.
If you would like a chance to receive a card, please fill out the form HERE. I can not promise that I will be able to send a card to all of you. The response has exceeded my expectations. I already have over 1200 people signed up. But.... I do make a lot of cards every week so I am going to do my best! 🥰
NOTE One of the questions I receive the most is if I mail cards internationally. Yes I do! It may take a bit to get to you.
NOTEI have a favor to ask. When you're filling out the google doc form please make sure you add your state and/or zip code to your address. There have been several I skipped simply because it's time consuming to look up info and pray it's correct. I don't want you to miss your chance because of missing information. Thank you!
Every week I will do a little weekly recap with the list of cards I'm mailing out. Here are the cards I mailed this week. Please check weekly to see if you are expecting a card.
