A Note to Say Hello

One of my favorite ways to use glitter card stock is to add just a touch using a die cut word.  For today’s project, I have a clean and simple all-occasion card perfect for a quick note to a friend or loved one. I started by die-cutting a script-style hello word die using a piece…

Sparkle Gals

I feel like fashion and glitter go hand in hand, so for today’s project, I combined the cutest stamp set with some of CutCardstock’s gorgeous glitter card stock.   To create the frame and highlight all that great sparkle, I used a die from Altenew that creates these really thin rectangle frames.  I cut three sets:…

Easter Wishes

New Year Gift Tags

Hello crafty friends! Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season. Right now I’m in that weird limbo between Christmas and New Year’s where I’ve eaten WAY too much sugar and cheese, and I have no idea what day it is – LOL! I’ve been feeling a little guilty because I usually take a little gift…
