The Pick 3 Challenge - March/April 2026

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Friday! It's the 20th of the month and time for a new challenge at The Pick 3 Challenge Blog, where you're given 6 elements and you create something using at least 3 of those elements.  The element list for this month is:


For my design team project, I've chosen the Wings, Stripes and Slimline elements for my card.  In my stash I found Dragonfly 3-D die cuts, and I've used the Watercolor Stripes Stencil and Distress Oxide inks for the stripes.


Before adhering the Dragonflies on the stenciled panel, I've splattered with black Posca Pen and let dry thoroughly.  The sentiment is from the "Small Talk" Sticker pack by Tim Holtz idea-ology, and it's been adhered directly to the panel.  


The team and I hope you'll pop over to the Pick 3 Challenge and play along.  We love seeing what elements everyone has chosen and how they've used them.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Spring Daffodils in Pitcher

Hello Friends and Happy Crafty Saturday!  I hope the week was kind to you and today you've found some time to create.  I am featuring a standard slimline card using everything from my stash.


I had a bit of time last night, while hubby was watching Wrestling (yes, we watch grown men wrestle around like toddlers), to create something quick and easy.  I didn't want to stamp or color or think too hard about a design.  I found dimensional stickers in my stash and thought they would be perfect for a quick and easy card.  


The sticker is quite large, the card base measures 8.5"x3.5".  I found the perfect sized patterned paper for the background so win #2.  The sentiment strip is from a pack by Tim Holtz.

That's all there is to this card, I hope you like my quick and easy project using everything from the stash.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

I Pick You by Not 2 Shabby

Hello and Happy Sunday!  I hope you're well and enjoying your weekend.  Today I'm sharing a card created using the Stamp and Coordinating Die Set of the Month from Not 2 Shabby  This month's set is titled "I Pick You" and features an adorable strawberry loving Gnomie couple!


I've colored the images with Spectrum Noir Illustrator Alcohol Markers and the die cut panel was made using a slimline die set from Alina Crafts.  This is a standard slimline card meauring 8.5"x3.5".


The images were die cut with their coordinating dies; which are included in this monthly subscription.  The images are quite large, as you can see against the slimline card measurements.  The die cut windows in the focal panel have been backed with a subtle blue and white checked patterned paper from Carta Bella.

Stop by the Not 2 Shabby Shop and check out all the monthly subscription offerings.  There is someting for everyone and every budget.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Rainbow Dreams Slimline Shaker

Hello and Good Day Crafty Friends!  I'm on the Kat Scrappiness Blog today sharing a Slimline Shaker Card I've created using the new Rainbow Dreams Slimline Paper Pad and the Almandine Garnet Rhinstone Mix.




My card base is 110 lb. Neenah Solar White Classic Crest card and the rainbow panel was cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies from Kat Scrappiness. 

The shaker elements are various sequins and Kat Scrappiness Almandine Garnet Rhinestone Gems.  I die cut the sentiment 3 times, stacked one on top of another for dimension and adhered flat to the card front.  I then stamped and heat embossed the remaining sentiment strips, then adhered flat as well.



I chose the die cut and stamped sentiment because you can shake the card and do a Happy Dance!  Please visit the Kat Scrappiness Shop to view all the new release items.  I've listed the Product Affiliate Links below.  If used, I will earn a small commission which will help me stay creative and bring you content.

Hello Sunflowers and Sunshine

Good Sunday to you!  I hope your weekend has been great so far and if you're having a holiday tomorrow, I wish you lots of enjoyment.  Today's make and share features a Trio of Sunflowers.



I've made a Mini Slimline card measuring 8"x4" with Sunflowers from the Spellbinders Fun Stampers Journey Hello Sunflower Stamp Set.  I stamped the smallest of the sunflower images 3 times and colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  I die cut the images with a circle die and mounted them on foam pads.  The sentiment, from the same set, was heat embossed and mounted on foam pads.  I adhered all to a card base with mats from 12x12 single sheets of designer papers from Hobby Lobby.  Lastly, added twine and sequins for a finishing touch.

Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers and it's sad the stalk only produces one bloom then it's done.  Sunflowers say Summer and Fall to me.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
