Inspiration Station Challenge #85 - May 2026
I remembered I have a stamp specifically for Grads in my stash, so I went digging around and found the "Hats Off to You" stamp and coordinating die set from Colorado Craft Company. I've created a Congratulations Card that will go to my neighbor, who has a grandson graduating college soon.
I wanted to go Simple with the design, so I've used a circle mask from Lavinia Stamps to ink blended a circle that reminds me of the Earth. I've colored the image with alcohol markers, die cut and popped on foam pads.
Before placing the images, I splattered the ink blending with water and white ink. The sentiment is from the same set and was heat embossed. After looking at the design, I was reminded of the old saying "you've got the world by the tail". I've also finished the inside with another sentiment and images from the set.
The team and I hope you'll visit us this month and share your inspired projects. Remember, the picture prompt can be interpreted in so many ways, so don't let that stop you and please stop by to see what my creative teamies have come up with.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Re-Discover Your Supplies IG Hop - Encouragement/Congrats
Hello Friends and Happy Sunday! It's been a minute or two since I've posted and today I'm sharing my contribution to the Instagram Card Makers Re-Discover Your Supplies Hop. This is a Just for Fun Hop providing inspiration with found supplies from your stash. The objective is to dig through your stash and create using only items that you haven't used or forgotten about. You will start the hop HERE.
For my project, I've dug deep into the stash and found some dimensional items, a die cut sentiment, an older embossing folder and gems to create a Card of Congratulations that can be used for any special occasion.
These types of projects always leave me with a feeling of accomplishment. I love buying new craft products and spend way more than I should, however it's equally important to think outside the box and use what we have. I'm embarrassed to say that I have loads of supplies that haven't been used. It's time to start Shopping the Stash!
Please hop along for loads of inspiration from my crafting buddies, who also shopped their stashes and created some beautiful projects! Until next time, Happy Crafting!
