Good morning! Thank you for stopping by my little crafting corner today! I made this cute little card using the Smoocheroos stamp set from Paper Smooches. I just thought the sentiment “Want to Cuddle?” was too precious coming from this adorable little porcupine! I love to cuddle anyway, so this card I thought would be just perfect to give to this handsome man…
my sweet boyfriend, Jeffrey! I hope you have a wonderful day! See you soon.
Happy Saturday! Today I practiced up on my masking skills and created this adorable card! I used the stamp set A Little Lovin by Paper Smooches. I just love the kangaroo image and the adorable sentiment “I Love Roo!” If you are not familiar with the stamping technique called masking, it looks intimidating, but is actually quite simple to do. Just stamp the image that you want to stamp over on a post it note and cut it out and stick it over the original stamped image. You can then stamp over top of that and it will make your image pop from the background behind it. Love, love this technique! Give it a try today…I would love for you to comment and add a link to your masking creation! Have a wonderful day!
Happy Good Friday everyone! I hope you are all looking forward to this beautiful Easter weekend ahead. I love this time of year! Today I thought I’d share this Springy, vintagy (is that a word?) card I made using the gorgeous Everyday Enchantment paper from Stampin Up. I also used the butterfly die from SU which is really one of my all time favorites! I really loved the simplicity of this card and the touch of elegance as well. This could easily be an all occasion card, I just used a birthday sentiment. It would go well as a thinking of you, thank you, sympathy or get well card too! Thank you for stopping by today, have a blessed day!
Happy Saturday morning! I have long been wanting to participate in one of the Paper Smooches SPARKS Card challenges. This week I finally had a chance to whip up a card for their current challenge which is to create a card using a stamp/stamps from Paper Smooches using this picture as your inspiration…
Here is my take on this challenge…
I absolutely love the gorgeous stamp sets from Paper Smooches, they are so whimsical and the fonts are fabulous! I used the set called Smoocheroos for this particular card. Thanks for stopping by today, oh and there is still time for you to play along with the challenge if you hurry. Just click here.
Hello there, thanks for stopping by my blog today! Paige over at Create: CARDS blog issued a challenge last week to create a quilt inspired card. Quilt Cards are so much fun and are a great way to show off coordinating patterned paper. The card pictured below is one of my favorite quilt cards I’ve ever made…
I used paper from Cosmo Cricket and simply added a cute paper daisy with a button and a “hello” tag. Have a wonderful day and I hope you can find the time to do something crafty today
Hello! Thanks for stopping by my blog today. This weekend I got some much needed time in my craft room where I created the card pictured above. I used my Copic markers to color in the cherry bowl image from the Cherish Friendship stamp set by Stampin Up. I just loved how the colors blended together and how the patterned paper popped in the background! I don’t know about you, but I’m always needing a belated birthday card! However, this card would be perfect for any sentiment! You could just whip up a bunch of them and leave the sentiment strip blank and just stamp whatever sentiment you need when you are in a crunch for a quick card! I hope you all have a blessed day! See you again soon.
Ok, I admit I have been so totally missing in action lately and I’m so sorry I haven’t posted anything crafty lately! The honest truth is, I haven’t really made anything crafty lately, much to my disappointment. And here are the reasons why…first of all I decided to take a break over Christmas just to enjoy some down time with my friends and family. I so enjoyed the simple joys of Christmas this year, just reflecting on all of the many blessings God has bestowed upon me in my life. Even though we sometimes don’t have all that we hope for or because God hasn’t worked out every little aspect of our lives like we are praying (and believing ) that he will, there is still so much to thank him for.
Also, this is my crazy, unbelievably busy time at work due to working on end of year closing. While I’m used to this being an accountant, this year has been even more challenging due to our whole office flooding in August which caused us to loose tons of critical paperwork and also add in an audit on top of that. So I have been working late every night and on Saturdays. There goes my craft time .
However, this weekend is my little sister, Ashton’s (ok, she’s not really my little sister but she might as well be!) Sweet 16 birthday party and I plan on making her a banner and some other cutsie decorations. I hope everyone is doing well and that you are having a blessed New Year! Love & prayers,
Hello everyone! I hope you all are done with your Christmas shopping, card and gift making and are ready to settle down and enjoy the holidays with your family! I just wanted to share a quick Christmas card that I made using Echo Park’s Christmas paper and some adorable dimensional snowman stickers from Jolee’s Boutique. Let us all remember the true reason we celebrate Christmas and keep it in our hearts all year long…Thank you Lord for sending your one and only son Jesus Christ to be born here on Earth as a gift to all who would receive him. He is the best gift anyone could ever receive.
Love & prayers for a Merry Christmas,
Hello all! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We all have so very much to be thankful for! Today I thought I would quickly share one of the Christmas cards I made this past weekend. I’ve had these cardstock stickers stuck away for a long time! I spruced the Santa sticker up by adding Red Stickles around his hat and Crystal Stickles around his beard and hat trim. It really made a cute card very quickly! I hope you all are getting more done in the way of your Christmas cards than I am! Thanks for visiting me today!
Happy Fall everyone! I hope you are all enjoying this gorgeous Fall season as much as I am! There is just something about the beautiful colors, the falling leaves and the anticipation of the holidays that makes me simply love this time of year better than any other time! So in celebration of that, the card above embodies all of those feelings for me! I just adore that gorgeous little girl from My Favorite Things. The stamp set I used is called Lil’ Pumpkin and it comes from their Pure Innocence line. I hope you have a wonderful week, thanks for stopping by today!
