Alternate Joy Fold Card

 Happy Friday friends! 

I hope your week is going well and you are having a happy holiday season.

Thank you for visiting! 

Today's card is a Joy fold variation; you can find a tutorial for making a Joy fold card under my tutorial tab. 

I used a variety of pattern papers and cardstock to create the layers

Grabbed a few smaller stamps to stamp randomly to create a sort of patterned paper look using a few neutral colors; greys, browns and navy blue.

Then cut out the celebrate sentiment using a metal die and layered several together to create some dimension.

I hope you give the technique of stamping your smaller stamped images to create your own patterned paper a try!

Floral Sympathy Card

Hello friends! 

For the second half 2026 I wanted to go through my craft stash and finish up some left over projects. I colored this floral bouquet way too long ago and wanted to finally get it on a card. 

I thought the soft colors on the floral was deserving of a sympathy card

I wanted to keep the background subtle so the floral arrangement could take center stage so i thought using a book page type with greyish blue hues would work nicely. 

I hope this encourages you to finish up half made projects in your crafty collection.

Birthday Candle Mini-slimline card

 Good Morning! Happy Friday! I hope your week is going well.

Thank you for stopping by. 

Today I wanted to make a quick birthday card but still wanted the card to have some pop.

I used the mini- slime-line dies from Gina K Designs Master Layout 7 to cut out the card panels and sentiment circles

I then stamped and cut some candles dies. The dies I had made shorter candles so I cut them in half and hid them behind the sentiment making them look longer to fit my slimline space. 

I used all inks and paper from Gina K Designs.

Adding Texture to Card Backgrounds

 Hello Beauties!

Thank you for stopping by today.

Went through my stash if metal craft dies to create this card. I grab a die I haven't used in a long while to create this textured faux embossed raised background. 

I thought the feather background would be perfect for this colored image. I used alcohol markers to color the stamped image in.

I hope you enjoyed this card and try making some backgrounds using craft dies you have in your stash. Happy crafting!
