Happy Thursday my crafty friends! Today I’m going to show you the birthday card I made for my husband. It has been a family tradition that I make a card for the birthdays of my loved ones. I’m hoping in ten, twenty years or even more, they may take these cards out and feel the…
By Amber Rain Davis Join me as I test out Copic coloring on Curious Metallic Aloe colored cardstock. This technique was new to me, and I’m sharing a few things I learned along the way. This cardstock is gorgeous! I love the heavy, luxury feel of it and the color was so inspiring, such a light and airy…
‘Tis the season. I’m sure we are all busy with holiday festivities and preparations. I’ve been busy creating Christmas cards this week. I love to include lots of shimmer and sparkle in my Christmas cards. So I used Curious Metallic Cardstock, Stardream Metallic Cardstock, POW Glitter Paper to create these cards. I used layering dies…
Now that Thanksgiving is behind us it’s time to get those Christmas decorations up! I like to do it the weekend after Thanksgiving; I would actually do it much sooner, but my husband agrees after Thanksgiving. I like to change my decor a little bit every year. This year I thought I would make a…
I’m not a big holiday person, and since we typically don’t spend it at our house, I don’t do a lot of decorating. But since this is the first Christmas in our new house, I am excited to add some holiday-themed items around our new space. I came across a post with these paper gingerbread…
‘Tis the season! The season to crank out those Christmas cards. For holiday cards, I like to create an assembly line process. I still try to create unique cards for everyone but streamline by creating many elements at the same time. For these cards, I used Curious Metallic Card Stock in Ice Silver, Pow Glitter Paper in…
Don’t you love autumn colors? They inspired me when creating today’s card. All the oranges, yellows, and reds are appearing in our Michigan maple’s right now. I kept this card clean and simple with the focus on the leaf. To make the leaf stand-out I gave it a stained glass effect that I’ll explain here….
Happy Friday! The weather has finally dropped here and it is starting to feel like fall. This project combines a couple of my favorite things fall leaves and candy. I made little paper covers for treat bags to give out to some friends for Halloween. These come together in no time at all but I…
Living in Houston, TX, I don’t really get four seasons anymore, but I like to pretend it’s fall and ignore the fact that it’s still 90 degrees outside. To help support my delusion I wanted to create some fall decor. I went with a wreath to hang on the inside of our front door and…
Happy Wednesday my crafty friends! It’s Lia at the blog today. Hope you are enjoying the colorful Autumn. Today I’m gonna show you two cards using the cut and emboss folders. Since some of the background color will be shown through the cut regions, I picked a bright orange cardstock (Curious Metallic Mandarin 111 lb)…
Fall is by far my favorite time of the year. I love when the weather cools down; the colors for fall are just gorgeous. I think I might actually like decorating for fall just as much as Christmas. Today I have some paper pumpkins to share. I have all of my fall decorations out but…
It’s hard to believe it’s September already. I know the leaves will be changing colors soon here in Michigan. Those thoughts inspired my card for today. I like to send cards on holidays when someone isn’t expecting one. Thanksgiving is one of those holidays when I do that. I created these cards with that occasion…
