Hello! It’s Kari from Sunshine In My Pocket.com and I’m so excited to be a guest on the Scrapping For Less blog! Today I have some cards made with the Prancing Pegasus stamp set and beautiful Fairy’s Garden paper pad.
For my first card, I inked up the background with some Distress Oxides in Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold. Then I splattered on some white pearl watercolor to give it more of a magical feel.
I stamped some of the stars from the same stamp set on the background using the same colors of Distress Oxide inks. They are a little difficult to see in the photos, but it adds a subtle detail.
I colored up the Pegasus with Copic markers and added some sparkly stickles to the wing. I die cut some clouds from my stash and added WOW! Sparkle glitter to the smaller ones.
That frame is from the diagonal paper in the paper pack and it adds just the right touch! I simply used 2 nesting rectangle dies to cut out that frame. I stamped the sentiment on strips of teal paper and popped it up with foam tape. This is for sure a “magical” birthday card that is fit for a princess!
For my second card I knew I wanted that Pegasus to be running on top of a rainbow. So I glittered up a rainbow and added it to a pink polka dot background from the Fairy’s Garden paper.
I colored the Pegasus’ mane, tail, and wing in the same rainbow colors with Copic markers. Those butterflies and leaves are cut from the paper pad as well! I was so excited to see those butterflies in there and they were so perfect for this rainbow card!
I added some clouds to the card and stamped the sentiment “For My Princess” with pink ink.
I added the Pegasus with foam tape to give it more dimension. I also folded up the butterfly wings just a little to so they look like they are flying!
I hope you enjoyed these projects today! I really loved making them. I’ll see you real soon with some more inspiration.

My name is Renee’ Moran but I go by Delaney Jane Cards on most social media. I have a small Etsy shop, blog and YouTube channel by the same name. No, it isn’t a random name. It is all named after my daughter who passed away in 2013 at ten days old; Delaney Jane Moran. I live in Southeastern Wisconsin where I can be trapped indoors by the weather 5 months of the year!( you know mommin means I still have to go places though) I have been a paper crafter for over 20 years and a card maker almost as long.I have three small children at home 4, 2.5 & 6 months but also lay claim to 5 other beautiful souls ranging in age from 21 to would be almost 6. I find card making to be a therapy for me and my soul. I try to find creative time every single day, even if it is just sketching out a card design. 
“I am an elementary school teacher who loves to spend my spare time card making. I first started my paper crafting journey in 2016 and have been hooked ever since. I love sharing my love of paper crafting on my YouTube channel, and enjoy being part of the paper crafting community.”
