Card Pack Inspiration – TODAY is the DAY!
Hello everyone! Today I thought I would talk about the memories and more card pack called Today is the Day. These card packs are a very affordable collection of colorfully decorated cards - usually double sided and typically there are a couple of different sizes to accommodate card makers and scrapbookers. Oh, and there are STICKERS too! Here is what the pack looks like that I am showcasing today and I instantly fell in love with the color palette. But...now what? It can be a bit overwhelming at first, right? Looking through all of the different cards and thinking, NOW [...]
July Paper Pumpkin Alternate Designs!
Hi folks. I have been having a blast playing with the July Paper Pumpkin kit - I hope you were able to sign up for this one...it was so much fun! I truly loved it - even though when I first saw it I was kinda like...meh.... But then I got to playing with it and fell in love. Come have a look with me....and a link to my video is also below at the end of this post. This first alternate design uses the components from the kit - just as they are. So...super easy card to make - [...]
Bottled Happiness Bundle & FREE June Project Kit
Hello there. Happy Monday to you all. Guess what...it's raining this week again. Ha! Shocking, huh. :). Man...I wish summer would get here. I saw this on facebook yesterday and thought I'd copy it here for a little chuckle. Cute kitty! But...rainy days go well with crafting, so I guess I won't complain. It's currently keeping me from that garden full of weeds that desperately needs my attention. I have been working with the Bottled Happiness bundle the last few days and I discovered that I kind of like making shaker cards. Keep reading to the end to learn how [...]
Thank you Cards with the Sending Smiles Bundle
Today's post is featuring the new stamp bundle called Sending Smiles. This wonderful stamp set comes with coordinating dies and makes creating beautiful cards so very easy. The dies themselves are awesome because you can cut out each component of the flower and build a beautiful bouquet. AND... there are two narrow sentiment strip dies that have a decorative embossed border that really adds a finished look to your sentiment. I am always looking for a nice narrow sentiment die and this bundle has two! Another great piece from this die set is the shadow die for the word Sending. [...]
Cute Teacup Thank You Card
Hello my friends! I'm so glad you stopped by because I have this gorgeous card design to show off today. This stamp set is part of a new suite in the new 2022-23 Annual catalog which is releasing to you on May 3rd. I won't be able to link any of the new products used in this card until the catalog launches in May. This card is unique because I used Stampin Up Vellum for my card base. FUN! I love how this turned out. This card is also a great way to show off this really pretty Tea Boutique [...]
Cactus Cuties
Hello everyone. The other day I needed to get my January card swaps done and so I asked my Instagram followers which set I should use, and the cactus cuties set won by a landslide. So I am here today to show you what I came up with. The Cactus Cuties is available as a bundle with a great punch, which I always love and have to have. However, if you're on a budget this year, these stamps are really quite simple to fussy cut, so maybe just get the stamp set without the punch if you're looking to save [...]

Friendships do Refresh the Soul!
This weeks card project uses the Beauty of Friendship stamp bundle. I made this card for my Crafty Ninja Team monthly card swap and I absolutely LOVE how it turned out. I got the idea for the layout of this card from Elizabeth Price (@seeinginkspots). I love all the layers she used and so I thought I would give it a try. Here is the card I made. I usually like to dress up my envelopes but normally that just means adding some pretty paper to the flap. This time I jazzed up the front with some stamped trees to [...]
Paper Pumpkin – Hope Box
Hello friends. Thanks for coming back to my blog, or if you are new, welcome! I hope you bookmark this page and check back often. Ok...today I have a bunch of great cards to share with you that I created using the August Paper Pumpkin craft subscription kit called the Hope Box. This was a very colorful and whimsical kit with unique sentiments that offer such great encouraging messages of hope. I did deviate from the kit card examples by adding a couple of sentiments and other card stock colors that I used to embellish my cards. But...the kit [...]
