Here’s part two of an earlier post Silver Congrats Card. It’s part two because I used the same layering dies, Birch Press Kaleidoscope, as I did in the part one post. This time I used different parts of the die-cut and of course different paper. I love playing with metallic papers and the Rose Gold Foil is…
Do you ever make cards and not finish them? I’m notorious for doing that. Many times I leave them unfinished intentionally. I like having lots of cards available to finish later so I can personalize them for the recipient and the occasion. Later I’ll go back, add an insert inside of the card, as well…
Happy Summer! Summer is the busiest time of the year for my family. With kids being home from school and all of the activities they want to join. My daughter and I had a little free time together the other day and thought it would be fun to dress up some paper straws. They are…

Hello friends! Isn’t it nice when you can make your own embellishments for a card? While it can be a bit time consuming, it’s totally worth it when it lights up the recipient’s face (or day)! Today I’m going to show you how I put together some mini magnolias to make this pretty card for…
Hello my crafty friends! Mother’s Day is coming soon. Are you ready to send your handmade love to mothers / grandmothers in your life? I created this card for a mother’s day card exchange event held by my crafty friends’ group. I’m so grateful to be part of this group and learned so much from…
Happy Good Friday! It’s Lia here again on the blog. Have you ever wondered how would watercolor look like on metallic cardstock? Here is my experiment. The smoothness of the Curious Metallic Cryogen White Cardstock inspired me to try distress oxide ink blending on it. I used two green colors and they were very easy to blend…
Hi! Friends thanks so much for stopping by today. I love this time of the year! It’s Spring and Easter is right around the corner. For my design, I stamped my image unto Curious Metallic Cryogen White Cardstock with soft stone ink. I love how easy it is to color with my Copic markers on…
Easter is coming up this weekend. Do you do anything special on Easter? when I was a kid we would dress in our dresses, white gloves, and bonnets and head to church. The rest of the day would be eating and being with family. My kids have to go to school on Friday to make…
