I have been artsy my whole life but really became hooked on paper crafts about 25 years ago. I love stamps, markers, color pencils, dies, cutting machines, ink.... most all of it. I manage to spend time each day in my craft room because there are so many projects and so little time! Visit my blog https://shesacolorqueen.blogspot.com/ or find me on FB.

Early Spring Birthday!

With March right around the corner, we begin to think of spring.  Everything starts new again and we get to watch our outside world become green and warm.  Spring is what inspired me to create this birthday card.  The die I am using is for an apron card but my card creation is not for…

Diorama Card

Do you remember making diorama projects in school?  This diorama card will take you no time to create and it folds flat so you can mail it.  Having dies to cut the pieces is much easier than working in a shoebox getting glue all over. Bright colors are always my go-to colors so I decided…

Mug Surprise!

Mug Surprise!

This project could easily be incorporated into a Valentine or given to someone ‘just because’.  The mug can easily be filled with candy or other small sized gifts.  When created the mug is 5 inches tall and 4 1/2 inches in diameter.  This 3D project was cut out using my Silhouette Cameo machine and all…

Easy Valentine Cards!

Easy Valentine Cards!

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner I thought I would share with you two cards that are easy to make and use as Valentines. I started by creating the card base by using Stardream Metallic Rose Quartz, Stardream Metallic Cardstock Pluto, and Stardream Metallic Cardstock Azalea.  I took the 8.5×11 sheets and folded them…

Snow Fun Layout!

Snow days! There was nothing my kids liked better in the winter than a suprise day off from school because of a heavy snow fall.  This picture of my youngest 2 boys was taken back when they still had snow days and didn’t just make them remote learning days. I wanted to create a scrapbook…

January Birthday!

Hello Friends! Designing for CutCard Stock we are already thinking beyond Christmas to January.  If you are like me January isn’t one of your favorite months. I feel like it always seems to last forever with the snow and cold, but it does happen to be my birthday month so I decided to make myself…

Frosty’s Hat!

Today I decided to try my hand at creating some holiday home decor. Who doesn’t love seeing snowmen when out driving during the holidays? Seeing them brings back fond memories of building them when I was young and then building them with my kids. I found a pattern I liked in the library of my…

Fall Feelings!

Fall Feelings!

The weather has certainly turned cooler here in Illinois and the leaves are begining to show colors. I’m Melissa and while I was sitting outside yesterday I was suddenly inspired to create something using the beautiful fall colors. Fall is a lovely time of year but it means that cold weather is coming way to…
