A Few Cards

Good Morning! Happy Friday! I have a few cards to share with you today, and I hope you like them! 

First up, a super quick and easy one that I think I may more of. It was inspired by a challenge, but I never got it posted in time. It's just been sitting around waiting to be blogged. 


Next is a card I made for my "adopted grandmother" for her birthday. I can talk to her about everything, and I am so grateful to have her in my life.


Last for today is a set of cards I made as her actual birthday gift. I wish I had pictures of all of them together, but sadly, I only have one.



That's all of the cards for today folks, I hope you liked them! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Celebrate Gift Card Holder


I have been making a ton of gift card holders lately, so I figured I would share one with you all. I used the Road Trip patterned paper on this one, as well as the postage stamp from the Road Trip stamp set. 
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday

I think I may have found my new favorite color combo ever! Love love love love love love! I challenged myself to use some of the stuff in my stash that has hardly been used since I started buying PTI. I was reorganizing my office and I spotted that present stamp. It's from Michael's dollar spot section. I got it quite a while ago, and I don't think I had ever used it! The purple layer that is behind the strip of Vintage Cream with the presents on it is actually transparency with tissue paper I made using this technique.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed today's card!

Tons Of Fun Birthday Gift Set

Today I have a Gift Set that incorporates the same colors, papers, die cuts, etc. There is a birthday card, a gift card holder, and a tag. Berry Sorbet is the main color, and the papers come from DCWV Animal Crackers mat stack. 
I plan on selling them as a set, but I can't seem to find a way to package them together! If you have any ideas, please let me know! If you want to know more about what I used, don't hesitate to ask!

Wishing You A Lovely Day

I have no idea how I lived for so long with out my Big Shot. Lately I have been using die cuts on *everything*! Heaven! It's amazing how much the quality of the products you use is reflected in your creations. It makes it look so much more professional. 
I've been trying to give some love to a few of my ever-so-slightly neglected stamp sets.

I have been loving the super layered cards with lots of varying die cuts and materials. I swear, the edges of the fabric piece didn't look like that before I photographed this card! Don't you hate it when everything looks nice and clean and then it never looks like that in the picture? =( 

Hope you enjoyed today's card! I have lots more on the way!
