Off On A Little Adventure

This one feels like the beginning of a quiet little journey. 

Backpack packed, hat in place, and that determined little stance—like they may not know exactly where they’re going… but they’re going anyway. And somehow, that’s the best part.

• Beach Summer Goose (Affiliate Link direct to image)
• Stampin' Up: Cardstock, 5 different Pattern Papers, Ink
• Die Cuts: Sizzix Deckled Rectangles

I kept the layers soft and earthy, letting everything feel grounded and calm… like nature itself is part of the story. It gives this card a peaceful, wander-a-little feel without needing anything extra.

This one doesn’t rush ahead… it just takes that first step.

Moral of the story: You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. 

Now I’m curious… Where would you go if you could take a little adventure right now?

Floating Through The Day

This one feels like a gentle exhale. 

Eyes closed, floating along, not a care in sight—she’s not trying to get anywhere… she’s just enjoying where she already is. And somehow, that feels like exactly the right place to be.

• Cute Watercolor Beach Mouse PNG Clipart
• Pattern Papers from stash
• Stampin' Up: Ink
• Die-Cuts: Die-namics Ovals with Stitching
• Twine: Pink & Blue

I loved mixing the playful patterns here—the waves, the soft florals, the pops of color—like little pieces of a carefree day coming together. It’s relaxed, but still bright and happy.

This card doesn’t rush or push… it just drifts, quietly reminding you to do the same every now and then.

Moral of the story: Sometimes the best thing you can do is simply let yourself float. 

Now I’m curious… When was the last time you truly slowed down and enjoyed the moment?

Hold Onto The Fun

This one feels like a burst of energy that refused to stay still. 

Hair flying, toes barely touching the ground, and that oversized beach ball like it’s the most important mission of the day—she’s all in, no hesitation. It’s playful, a little chaotic, and completely joyful.

• Funny Summer Beach Girl Clipart
• Stampin' Up Cardstock & Ink
• Stampin' Up - Lots of Labels Framelits Dies
• Pattern papers from stash
• Gems from stash

I leaned into those bold colors and fruity patterns to match that energy. It’s bright, a little unexpected, and full of movement… like summer decided to show up all at once.

This card doesn’t sit quietly—it shows up, laughs loudly, and invites you to join in.

Moral of the story: Sometimes the best moments are the ones where you just jump in and enjoy it. 

Now I’m curious… When was the last time you let yourself be a little carefree?

Sweet Daydreams & Sunny Moments

This one feels like a little pause in the middle of a happy thought. 

She’s sitting there, chin in her hands, completely lost in her own little world—like she’s replaying something sweet or dreaming up what comes next. And those soft hearts behind her? It’s like we’re getting a peek inside her thoughts.

• Surfer Girl 
• Stampin' Up - Ink, Cardstock, Pattern Papers
• Die-Cut - Amazon
• Foam tape to pop up image of surfer girl

I had fun layering everything just a bit off-center, almost like those thoughts are floating around and landing wherever they please. It gives the whole card a light, playful energy without trying too hard.

This one feels soft… hopeful… and just a little bit giddy.

Moral of the story: Sometimes the best moments happen in your imagination first. 

Now I’m curious… What’s something you’ve been daydreaming about lately?

Wishing You Were Here

 Hello my crafty friends!

I have a multi-layered card to share with you today. Hope you'll like it! But before we get to that, please FOLLOW my blog if you like the projects I post. And I would LOVE it if you would follow my Crafting Happiness Challenges blog as well! Link up your projects. :)

I have a short video you can watch at the end of this post. I'll be adding it to all of my posts this week and next week I'll be sharing a new one. Hope you'll give it a looksee. If you enjoy the video, please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE.  Thanks!

Now onto today's card.....

I pulled out some scrap pattern paper for this one. All of the papers were edged with stamping ink (except the sentiment). I love how it gave this card more depth.

The image was made into a Vinyl sticker with a border cut around it. It's really easy to turn digi images into stickers, backgrounds, and many other things.

• Image: Watercolor Summer Girl Clipart (Affiliate link Creative Fabrica) 
• Echo Park "My Favorite Summer" 6x6 paper pad - All pattern papers for this card
• Stampin' Up ink -  Starry Sky - Edged around all the paper edges (except the sentiment)
• Fancy Label Dies for Sentiment
• Stampin' Up Sentiment - Sunny Splash set
• Foam Adhesive - to adhere the die cut and stamped sentiment

Thank you so much for visiting with me today! I hope you were inspired to make a multi-layered pattern paper card, and happy you spent some time with me today.
