Shaker Card - Popsicle

 Good Morning! I hope your week is going well.  

 Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

Today's card features a fun shaker card!

I chose to use a patterned panel background and fill it with some various scraps from my stash. It took some time to cut the sections out but I think the little extra effort was worth it and it came together nicely!

This popsicle die i found on Amazon for just a few dollars. I layered the popsicle window at least 4 layers thick to create a nice pocket to hold the sequins and then adhered clear plastic to the front and back.

Happy crafting!

Using your Scraps - Masculine Birthday

I needed some masculine birthday cards and thought these pattern paper strip scraps would work nicely.

Creating Dimension - Bird House #2

 Happy Friday! I hope your doing well. 

I really enjoyed making last weeks card so I grabed more colored cardstock and made another birdhouse. This one I used ink to tint the roof. These dies are from Spellbinders. They are an older set so I am not sure if they are still available.

I just love the texture and the colors are so cheery; just in time for spring!

I used a stencil to add the dots on the eggs but you could add them with just the tip of a marker and some light verses heavy pressure.

Thank you for visiting.

For today's card I created some nice texture and dimension

I was in the mood to cut up some of my cardstock scraps and thought making a big stash of florals might come in handy

I thought decorating this birdhouse might be nice. What do you think of my card?

Pop - up - Coffee Card

 Hello friends! 

Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

Today 's card showcases a fun technique. This card features a po-up card. 

I used a die set from Karen Burniston today for this card.

I like that the die set has all the elements and does the thinking for me so I don't have to figure out the dimensions.

I hope you check out other cards made with this set. The samples online are really cool!

Using my Stash - Hexagon Punches

 Hey there friends! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

 I hope your day is going well and you are finding some time to be creative.

Today's card is another card using my scraps. 

Today I pulled out a hexagon punch and cut up the rest of the scraps from this paper pad. I was able to make 3 of these cards with my stash and finish off the paper stack. 

Added a sentiment panel from the kit and some clear sequins and they are done. Quick and easy yet still a nice card to look at.

Using Texture - Floral Wax Seal

 

Setting my crafty goals for 2026 and my plan is to completely use up some 6 x 6 paper pads that only have a few pages left and/or paper scraps and to use some dies or stamp sets that I purchased in the past and haven not crafted with yet. 

 Do you have any crafty goals for 2026? Comment below to share them!

For this card I tried to use some cardstock scraps to create the floral element.

This card is simple but by using a textured background makes a bit more interesting.

These dies are from Spellbinders.

St. Patrick's Day - Gold Clover

 Hello friends! 

Thank you for stopping by to see my latest card post. 

This year's St. Patrick's Day card is someone clean and simple.  I chose to use a large oval die with patterned paper and cut out a few 4 leaf clovers in gold cardstock, add a sentiment and call it a day.

I hope you like the simple design.

I used a St. Patrick's Day 6x6 paper pad by Echo Park for the different backgrounds and just repeated the same layout and design.

Happy St. Patrick's Day and Happy crafting!

Using my Scraps - Thanks Tag

 Good Morning! I hope you are well.

Thank you for visiting. 

I have been trying to use more of my 6 x 6 paper pads. I thought I would use some of the small pieces left over to create an interesting background. 

 I really wanted to have the tag be the star of the show so I kept this card simple and used lots of layers for texture and added interest. 

When I want to craft but don't have much mojo I try to make florals or other little embellishments out of my smaller cardstock scraps that way I have some embellishments ready to go when I am ready to out together a card.

I hope you enjoyed my card

Happy Crafting!

Thank you floral

Using my Scraps - Panel Sunshine Die

 Hey there friends! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

 I hope your day is going well and you are finding some time to be creative.

Today's card is a making use of scraps and a panel die. This Sunshine panel die is from Jaded blossom. I ran it through a few times to cut up the pattern paper scraps I was using up. 

You could certainly run this die through a few different pieces of full 4.25 x 5.5 sheets pf patterned paper and get enough for several cards.

I them embossed a few clouds for added texture and stamped my sentiment.

Busting Your Stash - hearts & love

 Hey there friends! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

In the spirit of February being "love" month. I wanted to share one more card with you 

using a love theme. 

For this card I used some leftover paper strips and glued them to a piece of copy paper. Then cut out a panel using  a scalloped die.

I thought I would create a unique element so I cut out a heart from the stripped panel and replaced it with a cardstock heart. I then used the stripped heart to decorate the inside. I thought it might be cute to write my message around the heart. 

I think this card could be given all through the year not just at valentine's day. 

What do you think? Tell me below in the comments.

Valentine's Hugs

 

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope your doing well. 

Today's card can be used for Valentine's Day or for any thinking of you or well wishing card.

I cut our a heart using a heart metal die but you could draw and cut your own if you didn't have a metal die. I then used a scrapbook.com hugs die for the hands.

YI added some glossy accents for the nails and a few extra hearts to embellish along with the die cut sentiment.

I thought I would add a little texture but using a rectangle die from Karen Burniston with some etching around the edges since the background is plain kraft cardstock.

I hope you enjoyed my card!

Love you So - Valentine's card

 

Good Morning! I hope your week is going well.

I needed a quick Valentine's card so I pulled out some panel dies and some patterned scrap paper to create this card. 

I ran some pattern paper scraps along the back side of the panel to create various heart shapes and then cut out a full panel in white cardstock; filling in the hearts with the various pattern hearts.

.

I layered up a few of the glitter hearts to help them pup up a bit for dimension and added the love you so sentiment in the middle.

Pop Up Card - Butterfly

 Hello Beauties and welcome!

I just love pop-up dies and the one I used for today is one of my favorites. It comes from Lawn Fawn.

For the card front I used some ephemera and patterned paper from an Echo Park kit. The card stock is from Gina K Designs. The little butterfly embellishment is stamped on pattern paper and is from Stampin' Up.

This pop up die takes so much of the work out of it for you. Just assemble and attach.

I hope you like my card.
