Welcome. For today's project, the feature is a thank you gnome card with wonky layers. I paired Copic marker coloring with torn paper layers and solid cardstock.
Sentiment: Thank you.
This card can be for anyone and can also be colored for different themes, like patriotic occasions.
Hello. The My Creative Time design team is sharing red, white & blue projects. For today, I made a card for celebration occasions like birthdays, patriotic holidays and more.
Sentiment: Let's Celebrate!
This is a great celebration card for a crafty friend for birthdays, holidays and more.
Today, I am sharing an early 4th of July card. Since it is just one day away, I chose Independence Day for my holiday card for the MCT blog feature.
Sentiment: Happy 4th. Happy Independence Day!
For this card, I made a frame from the long sentiment. And for the stars and sentiment, I stamped with three different colors to create a blended highlight look. It is intentionally dark and light in different areas. The tag was made from die-cuts and fastened with twine.
Other products used include Ranger archival and Gina K. Designs ink pads; sequins and twine.
This was fun and easy to do. Here is a closer look.
I want to take a moment to thank those who serve our country in various branches, at home and abroad, including first responders, law enforcement, the reserves, veterans and their families. We are in the land of the free, because of the brave.

For my July planner cover pages, I decided to add a USA map, covered in flowers. In honor of Independence Day, this map, along with feathers, were the perfect decorations.
Sentiment: ... and so the adventure begins.
For the page art, I first colored and fussy cut the USA with colored pens. Then, I used Copic markers for the map background and for the feathers. The bottom flower is original planner art, which I added color to.
Here is a quick video tutorial showing how the pages were put together.
This is the two-page layout. The right side is original planer art, but I added feathers to match.
Most of the art was pre-stamped and colored onto separate cardstock and then added to the existing planner pages.
The colored pens and the Copics would otherwise bleed through the pages.
Most of my journaling and other details are added off-camera. I am sharing ideas, here, for sprucing up your planner pages. See my related posts using stamping in planners and journals, below.
