It’s called Floating Ten Fold Card and I found it on Delight of my Art Site. I used Sweet Jar bundle to create a cookie jar card using 2 different colors. I love the sentiment where you can stamp different words in between Sending & Your Way. I also created a shaded background to make the jar pop and added a sweet red heart (For Heart’s Quest Challenge #76). I hope you enjoyed this card I am making today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

7/25/2025 - Darling Cardmaker (at the beach) - Notes & Totes Bag Bundle

Hi everyone – welcome back to another challenge at Darling Cardmaker and this week we are theme card – BEACH! I’ve been using this awesome Notes & Totes Bag Bundle for this card. The tidious part of creating this card is cut out all the pieces, also thinking about coordinating colors/patterns, but once all the pieces are cut out, all you have to do is the fun, putting it together! I stamped the sand piece with some dots, put the fences on the back, used another die piece (than the previous one) for the handle of the bag, and this time I added water bottle/sunblock bottles. Hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.
