Good Morning! I hope your week is going well.

Thank you for visiting.

Just keeping my card simple today. I chose a tag die to decorate for the focal point and gave the card front a little texture with a stitched die panel.

I layered the elements, added some glitter paper and some glossy accents to some of the flower elements all to add some interest.

Happy Crafting!

 

Layered mini-Slimline Card

 Hello and Thank you for stopping by. 

I have been trying to use more of the stamps and die sets I don't typically grab in my stash. 

Today I kept this card simple and used lots of layers.  

I started this card with using some scraps from my stash, a stamp set from Close to My Heart and a die set from Master Layout 7 from Gina K Designs for the all the panels.

Although the papers are from Echo park, the stamp set is from Close to My Heart and the little die cut heart is from Karen Burniston, I think it all coordinated well. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing this Slimline card and how you can pull products from different product lines to coordinate together.

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!

Birthday Box Card

 Good morning Beauties!

I hope you week has gone well and your are ready for a craft filled weekend!

Today's card uses Lawn Fawn's Box card Die set

This dies set is so fun to work with and there are endless possibilities. I like that the work of figuring out the dimensions and scores and cut lines are done for you.

I used their you Autumn know stamp set

If you don't have this die set you can check out a tutorial on my tutorial tab for making a box card.
