Twistoon Design Team Call - Sept2026

 Hello crafty friends, 

I recently found out (via Facebook) that Twistoon Digi Stamps was having a Design Team call.  I got excited to make a card and apply, but my printer stopped working over a week ago and I haven't been able to find out what's wrong.  So I started tossing my craft room, looking for a previously made card with a Twistoon digi stamp and ended up finding this half finished panel, which I finished. 

The bats and the couple were the only thing printed and almost finished on the panel, so I added a hand cut circle mask to create a moon and using purple, blue and black watercolors an Distress Oxide inks.

I love working with digital stamps.  They are the most versatile "stamps" to have and their price point allows for almost quilt free crafty indulgence.  Twistoon Digi Stamps is currently having a $1 sale, which I took advantage of even though I currently don't have a working printer.  😉

The Four Seasons - Jul2026 - Summer

Hello crafty friends,

My card for the The Four Seasons blog challenge using a 

SUMMER (June - August) theme.

Going with this month's mood board, which favors yellow, I went with this cute peeking bee (Unity Stamps) and a wispy flower garden (Unity Stamps).  

Tip... when coloring something wispy, don't stress about going outside the stamped lines.  Personally, I think this type of stamp allows for some imperfect perfection, so have fun.
