My Paper Rocks Scissors DT #14 project for March 2026

  Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: this posting focuses on my latest design team project for Deanne's Paper Rocks Scissors, a challenges blog. The theme is easy: use anything paper and/or use scissors. This is an unusual card with me using 2 of cardstocks stitched together (came this way) in a unique way--reversed and then punched the circle opening, taped/adhered together after I had done the inking for that center circle area.

Deckle-edged scissors were used to trim the perimeter on the base white CS panel after I inked it. 

Regular scissors were used to cut the cording ends. And not shown, dual-sided adhesive tape strips were cut to length to glue the layers together. 

when: #14 will start March 2, 2026 and be open for the month

what: Project #1 =

how-to & vendor notes for #1 =

1. white CS base panel = old stash item = came in a scraps pack = Crafter's Square

2. Guava mini stamp pad = Lawn Fawn; stamp pad was applied in different directions multiple times to saturate the white CS layers

3. Gray + white + pink floral 'recipe card' style panel came stitched with a smaller white CS panel (like a flap); I reversed it (if you look close at the stitching you'll be able to tell) and punched a circle from the center of that floral layer; the exposed area on that white CS stitched panel was inked like the base layer; stamped with 'HELLO'; all layers adhered to the base panel; enamel dots added; cording tied on the side = GWP color floral recipe card with stitched white CS flap/layer is from Round Trip stationery pack by Maggie Holmes 2021/American Crafts

4. enamel dots = same pack = Simple Stories

5. orange and white cording = came in a 3-color pack = Crafter's Square

6. black stamp pad = Hero Arts

My Christmas or not Bingo Challenges #18 DT project for March 1 to Apr 15

why: This posting showcases my DT/owner inspiration project for Christmas or not Bingo Challenges! For project #1 I chose Column G using 4 of the 5 elements: rainbow, purple, free and make own background.

And I took time on Feb 28 to create (project #2) a sample of Column B using all elements: raindrops, blue, free, watercolor and splatters. 

when: #18 starts March 1 and ends on April 15, 2026

======================

and

what: project #2 = Column B

how-to & vendor notes for #2:

21. RAINDROPS:

a. faux raindrops with ink/water splatters, enamel dots, ellipse shapes

b. also the base dot print cardstock was chosen because of the columns of dots mimicking the look of falling rain

22. BLUE:

a. 4 different blue watercolor markers from stash box (different vendors)

b. enamel dots in 3 different blue tones = Freckled Fawn

c. ellipse shaped blue puffy pieces = Studio G/Hampton Arts

d. base dot print glossy cardstock = from multicolor & multi-design pack = Crafter's Square

e. navy blue lettering stickers = Sticko/EKSuccess/American Crafts

23. FREE: 

a. other colors besides blue seen in the choice of base dot print cardstock

b. little gray linen handmade paper used for the watercolor markers/chromatography painting and splatters

24. WATERCOLOR:

a. four different watercolor markers were scribbled in column widths onto the gray handmade paper then each got its own paintbrush dipped in water. Painted in vertical motions. After a minute or so after painting each color, I used tissues to dab and soak up most of the extra water (and also floating ink). This helped the paper to dry faster but also faded the intensity of the inks.

25. SPLATTERS:

a. brushes = kids set by Crayola

b. the smallest brush was used as the last step and swirled in the water that all the marker inks paint brushes were rinsed in and then this smallest brush was tapped at the end of the handle many times across the paper to create splatters. I didn't soak up this water. I let it sit and dry on the paper.

Another Scripture Writing Journal Page + Word of Year Journal Card blogged on 25 Feb 2026

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: This project showcases 2 different Bible Study/Journaling personal projects' next installments made on February 24 and blogged on February 25. Through the Christian Card Makers Women's Fellowship group in Facebook, I use the Scripture Writing Plan(s) shared by the group administrator. Since I didn't get this started in January, I've been using February days to go back to the January verses. Most days have more verses/passages given but I've edited because of playing 'catch-up'. 

In January, I started doing index card type journal pages/entries for my 2026 Word of the Year (from the Bible). Because I'm at 8.5+ years since a major medical event and just under 1.5 years since my mom passed, I felt the synonyms of 'overcome' and 'conquer' were the best for my 2026 spiritual journey. January's pages 1 and 2 used 'overcometh' and for February pages 3 and 4 using conquers, conquered and conquerors. 

when: projects completed on Tuesday February 24 and blogged on Wednesday February 25, 2026. 

what: Project #1 = Scripture Writing Plan January 2026 days 11-12

My Ally's Angels #103 design team projects for Feb 15 to Mar 12

  Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: The purpose of this posting is to showcase two new design team inspiration projects for Ally's Angels. For the past 12-14 months, I'd decided to focus on inking and stamping for the key techniques for my AA projects. Limitless ideas are possible with the anything goes theme at Ally's Angels!
