Welcome to more of the Holiday Countdown Series for 2018! You can never have too many gift tags in your stash for the holidays. There is always that last minute package that you forgot the card for and needs a quick greeting added to it. For today’s project, I have some easy tags you can…
Hello, again! Today I’m going to share a card with you that I made using a technique that I’m going to call “faux inlaid die cutting” because instead of using a die I’m going to be using a punch. This is a fun way to utilize those supplies that you may not often use. …
Hello, everyone! I’m so happy to be sharing my card with you today. I am absolutely thrilled with how it turned out. To begin I cut a 3.75” x 5” panel from a dark brown sheet of paper from the Core’dinations Bountiful Harvest paper pack. Using some basic leaf stamps I used Versamark Watermark ink…
Hello, again! I’m so happy to be sharing another one of my cards with you today. Let’s jump right in! I started with an A2 sized card base which I cut from the amazing 130# Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. Not only is this a very sturdy paper it’s also incredibly smooth. I used…
I love decorating the inside of greeting cards. Many times I simply stamp a nice quote and add a few images. But this time, I surprised the recipient with a pop-up floral. I purchased a die-set from The Ton to create the pop-up floral. You can see below that I cut the different flower layers…
I cannot resist “retro style” typography. When it’s a shadowed die cut–even better! Today’s card features all that and a layer of stenciled embossing– another favorite :). The star of the show however is the gorgeous silver and gold card stock from the CutCardstock shop. Pow Silver Glitter paper and Currency Cover Gold card stock….
Hello! Back on Independence day, I posted a fireworks card on my blog (linked at the bottom of this post). I really liked the stencil, so I challenged myself to create a brighter colored version using the same type of layout. This is what I came up with. For the fireworks, I masked off an…
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…
Last week we celebrated my baby’s 8th birthday (tears!). He is a HUGE basketball fan, so we planned a basketball-themed party with his buddies at our local gym. He and I were surfing Pinterest for party favor ideas and he loved an idea that featured all orange items and had an “Orange you glad you…
Aren’t summer weekends fabulous? There’s nothing like a lazy Sunday afternoon… except maybe a lazy Sunday afternoon that includes a tea party! I made these cute little treat bags as favors for an afternoon summer tea this past weekend. It was full of bright colors and sunshine, and of course good food and friends, so…
Happy Friday my crafty friends! Hope all of you are enjoying the summer time. Summer and Fall are the wedding seasons. Do you need to make any wedding congratulations card? Here is one card I made using the gold and silver cardstocks. The front frame was cut using the Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock. Any backgound…
