If you've been following me for a bit, you know that I love all things citrus. Here's how I was inspired today:
Thanks so much for stoppin' by!

Happy Mix it Up Monday everyone! It's Amanda from Twiddler's Nook and today we're mixing old and new Valentine goodies together. Have you started Valentine crafting yet?
I started by stamping three of the Lawn Fawn Sweet Strawberry images, adding sprinkles to two and a sweet face to the third. I colored them with copic markers and used the coordinating die to cut them out.
Next, I inked up a piece of pink cardstock with the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Hearts stencil with ballet slippers and apricot inks. Then I cut the panel out with the largest Lawn Fawn Stitched Rounded Rectangle Stackables in the small set. I glued a piece of red cardstock to a white card base and popped my stenciled panel up with foam tape on it.
I cut the Lawn Fawn Scripty Hugs from black cardstock three times and glued them together. Next I used liquid glue to adhere the hugs and sprinkle strawberries to the stenciled panel. I popped the final strawberry up with a foam square. Next, I stamped and cut a Pretty Pink Posh sentiment strip and popped it up below the hugs sentiment.
For finishing touches I glued a scattering of Spellbinders flat discs across the design and added white gel pen highlights to all of the strawberry images.
I love giving Valentines to anyone and everyone in my life. Everything from tags on gifts to treat boxes to cards. Almost more than Christmas I think. What about you?
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

New Year, New Resolutions? Personally I've given up on those a long time ago. I try to work harder on goals that I give myself, like designing birthday cards. Here's how I was inspired today:
Hello again everyone! It's Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. This is our first Mix it up Monday of the new year on the Doodlebugs blog. I hope your holidays were wonderful and you're ready to take on new adventures in 2025! Today I've got a little scene card to share featuring a combo of Waffle Flower and Mama Elephant goodies.
I started by die cutting various elements from the Waffle Flower die sets - Inquisitive Frogs and Pond with Lily Pads. I used liquid glue to adhere the elements together and a little ink blending on the frog tummy and cattail stems.
Next, I ink blended teal and blue on a white piece of cardstock and splattered it with water. Once that was dry I cut the panel out using the second largest die in the Mama Elephant Mod Heart die set. I love the uneven, imperfect look it has. Using the froggie as a guide, I stamped the water ring image from Waffle Flower's Pond of You stamp set. Then I started assembling my images with liquid glue. The frog and front lily pad are popped up with foam tape.
I love the sentiments in the Pond of You stamp set but I ran out of room because they are quite large so I went digging for my favorite Mama Elephant frog stamp set - Hello Froggy. I stamped the sentiment with teal ink to blend in a bit with the sky. I popped the panel up on a white card base with foam tape but something just wasn't quite right yet.
So I pulled the Waffle Flower Pond of You stamps back out and stamped the awesome dragonflies in gray ink across the blank sky. Much better! I love how this turned out!
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
