Flowery Thanks!

Hi everyone!! I hope that you're having a great weekend so far. Are you doing anything fun? My husband and I had some family photos taken this morning at a park, enjoyed some ice cream and went shopping! I would say that it was a great day overall! :)

I am back again with another card for the current 7 or less Challenge!


 The optional theme for this challenge is to create a thank you card using 7 or less products. Here is the card that I created:


This card includes white card stock for the base, patterned paper for the background, a tag sticker, some alphabet stickers, and twine! That makes 5 products (assuming that the alphabet stickers only count as one product!) These products are all from Lawn Fawn's "Pink Lemonade" collection kit.

There are still quite a few days left in this challenge, so don't forget to play along!

I hope that you have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by! :)

You will have a happy birthday!

 Hello! I hope that the weather is starting to feel like spring where you are! Today it was in the 70s and it was wonderful! I wanted to stay outside all day! :)

I have a birthday card that I made recently that I wanted to share.


 When you pull on the fortunes, this is what they say:


I was surprised at how easy it was to make a moving card! I made a small slit behind the cookies and slid the fortunes behind the patterned paper. I added a little piece of extra paper to the end so that you can't pull the fortunes out the whole way. These images are all from Lawn Fawn's "Good Fortune" stamp and die set, and the patterned paper is from October Afternoon's "9 to 5" collection.

Have you ever made a moving or sliding card? Thanks for stopping by! :)

Cheer Up!

Good morning! I am back again to share another card with you! This card is for the current CASology Challenge!
 

 The CASology challenges are one of my favorites, but I never have enough time to play along. So, I am very glad that I was able to get a chance to make a card for this week's challenge. Here is the card that I created:


Yep, I was inspired by the Pixar movie "Up." It is such a sweet movie! I thought that the bright colors would make a perfect "cheer up" card! The house, cheer, and letters are from Lawn Fawn's "Home Sweet Home," "Happily Ever After," and "Quinn's ABCs" stamp sets, respectively. The balloons are from Paper Smooches "Hullabaloo" stamp set. To create the blue background, I masked off the edges of the card, and used a pearlized accent spray. I really like how the background turned out!

Well, thank you so much for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! :)

Many Thanks

Hi everyone! I am so happy today because spring is soo close!! It was gorgeous outside today! It was still a little bit chilly, but it was so sunny and the birds were singing! The temperature is suppose to be nice this week, so I can't wait! :)

I have a card to share with you today for the current 10 Minute Craft Dash! The challenge is to create a card based on these three colors:


 Here is the card that I created based on the color challenge:


This card took 8 minutes and 4 seconds to create. This card features patterned paper from Pebble's "Sunnyside" collection and October Afternoons' "9 to 5" collection. There are some enamel dots from My Mind's Eye as well as white ribbon. The banner and sentiment are both from Lawn Fawn's "Home Sweet Home" stamp set. If you include the black ink that was used for the sentiment, then there were six different products used for this card. That means that I am also entering this card into Marie's 7 or Less Challenge!


Both of these challenges are a lot of fun to play along with, so don't forget to give it a try! It makes it challenging to keep track of the time and how many products you are using on your card!

Do you have anything fun planned for this weekend? I hope that the weather is starting to warm up in your area and that you have a nice weekend! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Easter Bunny!

Happy Easter everyone! I have another Easter card to share with you today!


This card features a different bunny from Lawn Fawn's "Happy Easter" stamp set as well as some narrator stickers from the Pink Lemonade collection. Before I adhered the bunny and stickers, I misted the background with some Mister Huey's white ink. Misting is so much fun to add to cards!!

I hope that everyone has a good a Happy Easter today! As much fun as it is to find Easter eggs and to get chocolate bunnies, don't forget the real reason for Easter - Jesus' resurrection! He is risen! He is risen indeed!

10 Minute Craft Dash #14

Hello! I hope that your week is going well! I have a card to share with you for the current 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge! The challenge is to create a card based on these three colors:


I have a hard time with timed challenges (they're so stressful!!) but it helped that Lawn Fawn's "Pink Lemonade" collection had the pink and green colors that I was looking to use in my card! So, here is my finished card:


This took me 8 minutes and 55 seconds to complete. The green background is brighter than the green in the challenge colors, but I think it gives it a nice, cheery feel! The most time consuming parts were cutting out the little hearts and figuring out where to put everything! I like the result though! :)

There is still a few days left to play along with the 10 Minute Craft Dash, so start working on your projects! Enjoy the rest of your week! :)
