This year I’ve enjoyed creating cards for special occasions and challenges. After sharing a few 2024 highlights last week, I’m now showcasing some of my favorite 2025 designs.
I Heart Panda Pop-Up Box Card
I entered this box card In Lawn Fawn’s “Lot’s of Heart” Challenge. It features the adorable pandas from Lawn Fawn’s “I Heart Pandas” stamp set. I received this stamp set, coordinating dies, and matching stencil as a gift from my husband. I enjoy using stencils for coloring, and I’m glad more stamp sets feature this option.

Me and My Legend Birthday Card
This birthday card was inspired by the “Once Upon A Time” theme from the Coloring Club Challenge. The super talented Alberto Gava had sponsored a coloring challenge for the month of April. His instagram account is filled with amazing coloring. If you have not checked it out, definitely do! I had so much fun coloring this beautiful dragon from Mama Elephant and turning it into a card!

Ocean Themed Birthday Box Card
This birthday box card was inspired by the “Water” theme from the Coloring Club Challenge. This theme immediately made me think of an ocean, so I colored these cute images and created an underwater ocean scene using Distress Inks.

Clean and Simple Encouragement Card
This encouragement card was inspired by the “Flower Power” theme from the Coloring Club Challenge. The stamp set, Flower Shower from Mama Elephant, is one of my favorites! I love each of the cute critters and how they are holding the flowers. I’ve used this stamp set in to make shaker tags in the past as well.

Colorful Dog Themed Birthday Card
