I made a taller version of the faceted box today! I found the directions on someone else’s blog and the original post can be found here. I pretty much cased what Libby did – using the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to decorate the paper and topped the box with a bow using the bow builder punch. … More Tall Faceted Box
Hi Everyone! I’ve been itching for the past couple of days to make something, but I’m caught up on birthdays at the moment. So I decided I would make something new to me today. I follow Sam Donald, a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in the UK, on YouTube. She is very created and shared her version … More Faceted Box
My upline Cindy has moved into her forever home – so I decided to make her a card to congratulate her. This card was so fun to make. It’s a slider card that I somewhat modified because I didn’t want some of the stamped images to move. The video I watched to create the card … More Happy New Home
Two weeks ago, I wrote about making my friend Jessica’s bridal shower invites. Last week, one of the other bridesmaids asked me to make a banner to coordinate with those invites. I started with the same colors and incorporated as much as i could from the previous project. The only thing I did not add … More Future Mrs. Banner
Hi Everyone! I’m back today with another dresser step card. I showed a coworker my dresser card from last night and was asked to make one for a boy. So without going into the details since you can view my last post here, I’ll just show you the pictures and list the colors/stamp details. Card … More Baby Boy Dresser Step Card
Hi Everyone! I tried something new today when I decided to make a baby card for our friends, Jimmy and Thai, who welcomed their first baby this week. I’ve been wanting to make a step card, and this is the perfect occasion for it! It’s a lot easier than i thought. I saw some ideas … More Baby Girl Dresser Step Card
So, I’m always looking for ways to save money – for ways around not having to buy expensive products when there is alternative. I have the Berry Basket Die on my wish list and told myself that I will buy it if and when it goes on clearance (which is probably never going to happen). I … More A Spring Berry Basket
It’s been pretty cold here in Ohio and after 9 days with the kids home, school cancellations and lots of snow, I haven’t had much time to craft during my breaks and lunches like I’m used to. Yesterday, I decided I wanted to play with my Blendabilities Markers from Stampin’ Up! They are alcohol-based markers … More Blended Bloom and Pleasant Poppies
This May, I’m going back to Kansas City to be a Matron of Honor for my friend, Jessica. Things have been a little crazy with work and the overtime doesn’t seem like it going to end anytime soon. With a freeze on time off, I’m not able to attend her shower or bachelorette party in … More A Lace and Gold Bridal Shower
Valentine’s Day is over and now I get the opportunity to post a few cards and projects that have kept me busy the past week and a half. It’s so hard to refrain from posting when I’ve been so excited. I want to start by saying that I have the most supportive, empathetic, sweet and … More Happy Valentine’s Day!
Today’s card is a another unplanned birthday card, but OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS…I LOVE it! I haven’t made a card using the Flower Patch stamp set in quite a while. I didn’t have much time to make this card, so I quickly cased this card from pinterest. You can find the original post here. I … More Flower Patch
It’s my soon-to-be brother in law’s birthday – and I shamefully did not add his birthday to my calendar last year. Darn! He said he didn’t want to wait an entire year to receive a birthday card, so I told him I would make him one tonight. I know he was only teasing – but … More Happy Birthday, Dan!
There are so many family birthdays in February and I feel like I’m starting to run out of ideas for new cards. So my husband jumped in this afternoon, after some convincing, to “help me.” He looked through pinterest and got ideas after we decided we would use the Painted Petals stamp set. We also … More Painted Petals with Butterfly
I know I said that I didn’t want to spend too much time making classroom Valentine’s Day cards this year, but I sat there thinking between my moments of distraction while working this week, that I could really simplify the process by using designer series paper (dsp) and limit my stamping and eliminate any coloring … More Classroom Valentine’s Day Cards
Stampin Up has new butterfly thinlits in their Spring catalog this year. OoOoh soooo pretty! It’s also sold in a bundle with a coordinating stamp set, which I made myself hold back on. So this card is made using two other stamp sets. The Pear Pizzazz background is from the For All Things stamp set and the … More Simply Sketched with Butterfly Thinlit
