Chrysanthemums in a Watering Can

This is a another die and stamp bundle I bought from Concord & 9th. The die to make the mums was so easy to layer and gives perfect autumn vibes!

Hope You Find Joy Card

 

My last post was August 2025. Here we are a year later. Some backstory...in 2023 my father passed away and I became a caregiver to my mother. At that time a few things happened that changed my hobbies. I wasn't inspired to craft and I didn't have a budget for new craft supplies.

What I have been doing in my free time is PC gaming and have a few friends I met through gaming and Discord. I even started a YouTube channel to remember some of my best or funniest gaming moments!

On August 10th I saw the Concord & 9th release and the passion to get back into paper crafting was stirred. Without guilt I made the purchase to get almost the entire release. As soon as my goodies arrived I wanted to play! This Countryside Bundle is my favorite. The sentiment fits me perfect. Life is hard but I am trying to find some joy everyday.

I had a little mishap with the "orange tree". While gluing I dropped the piece on the card! I think I did OK covering it up or incorporating it into the design. It showing up a bit more in the photo then it does in person.

Handpicked Flowers Card 2

 Last month I attended Pinkfresh Studio's virtual event Create and Connect. I love their coordinated stencils and die sets. This card uses the Handpicked Flowers suite of products. The instructor showcased the art of water coloring. I decided to color using my Zig Clean Color markers which are very similar to watercolor. The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions.
