I created this little card for my daughter. She loves animals!

Share It Sunday – Crafty Collaboration – Let’s Eat Cake

October 29, 2023 · 8 Comments

Happy Sunday!

How about lots of crafty inspiration for you today? You’re about to see it with our Crafty Collaborations blog hop today!

I designed this card for my October Card Buffet –

I love everything about this card, the layout, the Designer Series Paper, and the versatility of creating two different cards! This is the other design option –

Just as lovely!

Now, at the class, some just loved the floral pattern soo much, they made the whole card with the florals layers – also very pretty. Going with all polka dot pattern would have created a masculine card. Also a great option!

Which is your favorite?

Leave a comment and let me know before heading to the next lovely project!

Hello stampin’ friends!

I am creating some last minute Halloween cards today! This one is for Crafty Collaborations –

It is just bootiful –

I simply combined some great products. I started with cutting the frame from the Gone Fishing Dies – I love to use this for anything but a tackle box, lol! I cut some ghosts and the word boo from the Glow in The Dark Specialty Paper and got to assembling!

Now, as you know, I said I used the Glow in the Dark Specialty Paper, here it is in action –

SOOOO COOOL!!!!

I bought this paper a while back. I tossed it on to my craft desk. Everytime I turned the light off at night, this paper was glowing! Calling me to use it! Well, today was the day and it did not disappoint!

What do you think?

Hello Stampers!

Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop with lots of great alternative ideas using the September 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit, With Love & Gratitude.

Here are the contents of the kit –

The kit make 8 treat bags and 8 small cards.

I took one of the cards and one of the bags to make 2 cards. I only added additional card bases, and a different color ink, creating these –

I was inspired by a challenge put out by Stampin’ Up for September –

I love these type of sketches! Simple, to show off the products!

I created a vertical card using a Copper Clay card base –

And, a horizontal card using a Pecan Pie base –

With the leftover pieces, I made my annual Gratitude Journal too!

I don’t have the markers yet to make the dots. . . . . .

All the sentiments use Copper Clay ink. Which project is your favorite?

Easter Blog Hop

April 11, 2022 · 8 Comments

Happy Monday!

It is Easter week. Do you send out Easter cards? If so, today should inspire you with all the ideas we have to share!

I used an unlikely flower for Easter, a Hydrangea!

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Celebrating You, Hydrangea Dies, Heart & Home DSP, 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum, Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding, Crafty Collaborations, Easter

Soo pretty! Especially with this retiring In Color Shimmer Vellum for the flower! I initially die cut the flower top in Fresh Freesia, then thee top one in the vellum for a pop of texture!

The stems were cut, adding the detailed centers. By adding the centers, it just took the card to the next level.

The gorgeous flowers and sentiment strip were placed on a simple wood grain pattern from the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper.

The sentiment is from Celebrating You. A great versatile greeting set that will be in the big catalog come May!

The beautiful shimmer vellum on the flower is retiring. You can see that and other items retiring here –

Crafty Collaborations – Valentine’s Day Blog Hop

January 24, 2022 · 16 Comments

Happy Monday!

How about some inspiration for some Valentine projects today?

I created a simple card using the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper –

Although I figured out each size of these squares with pattern card stock, this layout would be great for scraps!

I placed them flush with thee top and bottom of the card leaving just enough space for a strip for the sentiment! The sentiment is from the Sweet Conversations stamp set.
