The July 2024 release at A Colorful Life Designs is available now!

This release is full of fun geometric designs which are so versatile!

I stenciled the Around the World stencil in rainbow inks and then flipped the stencil over and repeated the stenciling in the same colors to create a whole new pattern!  A great way to get more out of your stencils.

Also in this month's release are 12 new Card Bling colors for July! You can get the entire June Set with 20% discount, now until 7/7/24!

Shop more in this month's release and save 10% on your complete order with A Colorful Life Designs (Master Bundles excluded) when you use coupon code Marcyfan10!

'Sup? A Toad-ally Awesome card!

I just love this frog from Unity Stamps!  It's perfect for a card to say just that,  'Sup?" and to check in on someone you haven't seen or chatted with in awhile.

I used A Colorful Life Designs, Star Stretch Stencil, with some Distress Mica Stain Sprays for the background, die cut that out with Spellbinder's Labels 8 die.  Then adhered to an embossed brown panel

Baby's 1st Birthday

 I was asked to create a baby's first birthday card and  thought it would be fun to make it into a shaker card, which I heard the recipient (baby birthday girl) loved!

I created the "1" with an SVG cute file from Etsy and cut from my Brother ScanNCut to crate the shaker window
