Inspiration Station Challenge #73 - May 2025

Hello Friends and Happy 1st Monday of May!  It's time for a new monthly challenge at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog and our inspiration photo features a sweet pair enjoying some quality time together.


Using the "Hedgehog Friends" Stamp Set from Pretty Pink Posh, I've created a card directly inspired by the challenge photo, and will be a Father's Day card for my son. 


I've colored the images using alcohol markers and fussy cut them before adding foam pads.  The patterned paper is from the "Garden Party" 6x6 paper pad by Bo Bunny, I've cut 2 mats using nesting arch dies from Hero Arts and popped on foam pads for dimension.  Lastly, I've added some gold thread from Altenew and gold sequins from my stash.  As an afterthought, I've added white Nuvo Drops in the centers of the sequins for a bit of interest.


We hope you'll join us at the challenge this month, we are sponsored by Poppy Stamps and are thankful for their support.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Happy Birthday to My Sweetie

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Sunday!  It's my darling husband's birthday today and I'm sharing the card I've made for him.  Yesterday, I had a difficult time creating this card as he kept coming into my craft room and I had to hide the card in progress.  I finally requested he stay out for at least 30 minutes....poor guy!


I was completely inspired by a card created by Natasha Foote on You Tube.  I have loads of scrap patterned paper and thought snippets from the Bo Bunny "Garden Party" 6x6 paper pad would make a nice masculine card.


I've cut 1.5" squares and adhered Baker's Twine on each to represent gifts, tied bows and adhered with mini glue dots, then popped each parcel on craft foam for dimension.  The embossed panel is a leaf print and the sentiment came from my sentiment box (I keep a box of sentiment strips already done up).  The sentiment has been popped on craft foam and 2 black gems added to represent rivets or nails or something masculine.

Have a fabulous Sunday and week ahead.  It's time for a quiet birthday celebration at home with the family, complete with a Steak and Potato Dinner, Cake and Ice Cream afterwards!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
