Happy Wednesday, friends! Today I am sharing this Color Wheel crafty friend card featuring both Simon Says Stamp and Hero Arts products! I love the Simon Says Stamp Color Wheel Background and I knew I wanted to do some kind of layering with the Color Wheel. I colored each section with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a water brush pen. and then stenciled the Hero Arts Butterfly Circle Stencil over the top with Hero Arts Reactive Inks!

Happy new week friends! Catching up on Mail It Monday with the last two week's recipients. :)
If you follow me on Instagram HERE you will know that I am doing a year-long series where I send out ten cards weekly to followers randomly selected from a Google Form my friend Lori Craig set up for me. I came up with this for a couple of reasons:
I have SO. MANY. CARDS. and not enough friends/family to send them to. You all are so kind and supportive of what I do here and on YouTube and I want to give back!
With how hard 2020 was it has reinforced in me that there's nothing like a handmade card in your mailbox to give a little sunshine to others. Not only does it brighten someone else's day, but it brightens MINE to share with you.
If you would like a chance to receive a card, please fill out the form HERE. I can not promise that I will be able to send a card to all of you. The response has exceeded my expectations. I already have over 1500 people signed up. But.... I do make a lot of cards every week so I am going to do my best! 🥰
NOTE One of the questions I receive the most is if I mail cards internationally. Yes I do! It may take a bit to get to you.
NOTEI have a favor to ask. When you're filling out the google doc form please make sure you add your state and/or zip code to your address. There have been several I skipped simply because it's time consuming to look up info and pray it's correct. I don't want you to miss your chance because of missing information. Thank you!
Every week I will do a little weekly recap with the list of cards I'm mailing out. Here are the cards I mailed this week. Please check weekly to see if you are expecting a card.

Happy Friday! I'm thrilled to be sharing this trio of reveal wheel cards featuring Lawn Fawn stamps, dies, stencils, and more! I just love the interactive Reveal Wheel dies and the brand new Flip Flop stamp sets that coordinate with popular previously released stamps. I think it's brilliant and gives new life to sets that we already own! Gotta love that.
