My Creations in Pink design team #92 card for 15 April 2026

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: This posting shares my 2nd design team project for Creations in Pink, a crafting challenge blog owned by Marlene A. The theme is anything goes mainly in pink. I'm trying to avoid buying more stuff right now and focusing on using stash--my treasures-- treasure hunting through some supplies on my table came up with this pretty unique card. 

when: #92 starts April 15, 2026 and lasts to about May 12th. 

what: Project #1 = "Together"



and a closeup scan to try to see the alcohol ink better; but I think the scanner light just faded it more; it's actually more like a neon pink in person



how-to & vendor notes for #1 =

1. white cardstock (CS) = Georgia Pacific; half sheet vertically cut then cut into half; 1/2 was deckle-trimmed with decorative scissors then ink stenciled

2. stencil "Cracked"  = Pink & Main

3. "Violet Breeze" alcohol marker = Nuvo

4. framed 'mirror' with gold foil heart and pink flowers ephemera = Prima Marketing

My first Pin-spirational DT member inspiration project on 1 Jan 2026

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: The purpose of this posting is to highlight my first design team project for Pin-spirational Challenges! And owner Deanne's on #333. For 2026, she has color combinations and the required colors need to be dominant/prominent. I grabbed a lavender and aqua blue with white plaid paper, a jumbo layered flower stick-on and some CS for the main elements of my DT card. A sentiment and a few heart accents finish it simply and prettily. 

when: January 1, 2026 is start date for Pin-spirational #333. 

what: Project #1 = blue and purple duo colors for theme ==> Happy Day



how-to & vendor notes for #1 =

1. lavender + white + aqua plaid paper = Recollections

2. jumbo purple layered flower stick-on = Crafter's Square

3. mid-blue paper scrap = Colorbok

4. mid-blue CS cut to 5" x 6.75" = Astrobrights/Neenah

5. blue-purple buffalo plaid CS scrap for sentiment = I think it's from a summer theme paper pack by Riley & Co.

6. stencil for 'happy day' = part of a birthday/celebration theme sheet = Crafter's Square

7. puffy heart stickers in blue and purple tones = part of a multicolor pack = Hello Hobby /Walmart

8. black fine tip marker = Sharpie (for outlining and stenciling)

where #1 will be linked =

1A. Krafty Chicks; new on Jan 1st; week 1 theme of Birthdays; My card says "happy day" to fit the scale of the card with the font size of the stenciling...will be given for an upcoming birthday of a relative
