happy halloween!

Happy Halloween to you all! Just stopping in to say HI and hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday!

These are a couple more of the huge batch of Halloween cards that I made a while back to send to friends and family. I love the spiderweb patterned paper! I added silver stickles to the center of the webs, it looks really cute in real life!

Enjoy this beautiful Fall holiday!

Thanks for stopping by!

Halloweenie Time!

Hey everyone! I've been such a bad blogger lately. Life has been crazy and busy, as I'm sure everyone can relate to! Here are just a few of the bazillion different Halloween cards I made.

I just love Halloween and Autumn and all things orange! Haha :)

Each card is just a little bit different. But they were so quick and easy to make! I cheated and got a patterned paper from my local scrapbooking store that had all these cute little circle images on it. I just cut them all out and made little tags.

The tags I adhered to the card fronts on top of some other fun patterned papers. Just embellished each a teensy bit differently and VIOLA! All done!

Hope you all are in a fun Halloween kind of mood now! Let's eat candy! :)

fill my days with joy.

Hi again! Hope everyone is doing well! I haven't posted this often to my blog in way too long.

Here are two cards both using Bitty Dots patterned paper from PTI but they have completely different vibes. The first is light and fresh and folksy with that hand cut heart.

This second card is more distressed but at the same time has a clean and simple design layout.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

picture fest.

It's been a little while but I sure do have enough pictures to make up for it!

They all use the same layout; I just changed up the colors a little bit. And trust me... there are even more but I didn't want to bore you with a bunch of pictures of the same thing! (Five is enough as it is!) :)

Pretty simple instuctions: cut cardstock, score cardstock, cut circles, adhere circles, stitch circles, stamp sentiment, emboss.

The last one and the first one are my favorites. Hope you're week is going well!

thanks so much. again!

This is my second post for today so be sure and scroll down for the first. This card is another example of some that I created for the baby shower gift set of thank yous.

I like this one the best. Super simple and quick to make but I think it's really cute. I traced and cut out the image then popped it up with a dimensional. Three score lines and pink embroidery floss make up the rest of the card.

thanks so much.

Tomorrow I have a baby shower to go to for a friend and as part of the gift I'm giving I made a bunch of thank you cards. This is one of the designs. I wanted to keep it sweet & simple so that it was easy to mass produce.

It's kind of hard to see but I scored three lines at the bottom of the card. I also used up the very last of some pink felted paper that I had.

a new love & old scraps.

Do these flower petals look familiar? They are the scraps from the baby shower invites from my previous post!

I didn't start off planning on saving them to make something new but they were all sitting on my table looking like little petals or leaves. I couldn't bear to throw away 40 little petals so I made them into these cute little flowers.

All the cards use the same design and I just changed up the colors a little bit.

The chocolate petals look fabulous with all the color combinations. But I would have to say that my favorite is the berry sorbet, dark chocolate, and spring moss below.

This last picture is my favorite. It shows the sentiment, flower up close and personal, and the beautiful background flourish.

Would you believe that this is my first time using rustic cream from PTI? Holy cow, I think it may just beat kraft out as my very favorite paper EVER. Hard to choose though!

Thanks for stopping by!

Mini Card Set #2

Here are the other little 3x3's in the set that I showed you yesterday. I think I'm going to add a few more to the set before I give it away.

The first cards are thank you cards with a little ripe avocado button on them.

The second cards have a stitched border on them. I also stamped a Versamark flourish on the kraft. I love that look.
Enjoy your day!

Mini Card Set

I made a bunch of 3x3 cards for a set to give away. So of course I had to take tons of pictures of them and divide it into two posts. They all use paper from Turning a New Leaf.

I added a glitter strip at the bottom and a spring moss button with twine.

On this second card I stitched a dark green border around the edge but it's hard to see in the picture. It adds a nice texture to the card without a lot of bulk. Then I popped up the banner with dimensionals and added a ripe avocado button with twine.

Hope you like! I'll be back with more tomorrow!

Notecard Set

Yay! Better pictures! I guess I will be taking all my card pictures outside from now on. :)

Here is a set of four notecards I made. I think they would make a great gift for pretty much any occasion.

Again, I used my Cricut! The heart and flower images were cut using the basic shapes cartridge. The patterned paper is my very favorite one from Papertrey's Turning a New Leaf set. Love, love, love this paper. I plan on using the heck out of it in the near future so stay tuned for more!
This card set just makes me smile. It has brown (my favorite), pink (another favorite), simple kraft (another favorite!), and awesome patterned paper.
