Hello Fellow Crafters and Happy 1st Monday of February 2026! Wow, January flew by and I have a feeling there are loads of people dreaming of spring. Today begins a new challenge month at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog and our optional inspiration photo are Almond Blossoms and I'd say they will be blooming in California soon.
I found some cute farmhouse themed stickers in my stash that were purchased from Amazon for a project a few years ago. I completely forgot I had them so, in my continued quest to shop my stash, I thought they would make cute Valentine's Day themed cards.
I made this card for my sister, the papers are from the "Cute Girl" 6x6 paper pad by Crate Paper. This pad is a few years old, I purchased it at Tuesday Morning, and they are no longer in business (thanks to COVID). I've cut a stitched scalloped square from a set of nesting die and adhered the sticker, then cut a mint green base mat using a Hemstitch Nesting Die from Spellbinders
To finish the card design, I've added pink pearlescent flat sequins for the necessary sparkle and shine. The focal square has been popped on foam pads for dimension.
The team and I invite you to stop by the Challenge and join the fun. We love seeing everyone's take on the inspiration photo, so we hope to see you there this month.
Have a fabulous day and week ahead, until next time Happy Crafting!
Donna
