Mini Slimline with Foil Peek-A-Boo card

Hello! I have a new Mini Slimline with a Foil Peek-A-Boo card to share today! My video is here:

https://youtu.be/ce_8ihowBnw

I adore the Sage Symphony set from Crafty Meraki and I used these images today! I colored them up with Copic Markers and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

The Bar None Mini Slimline is perfect for this card, to show that foiled paper behind it just enough! I used green Lily Pad Decofoil for the Floral Filigree Effortless Shimmer Paper. So easy to foil and such an impact!

I put it all together for a striking card. I hope you like it, too!

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!






Thanks for stopping by today!

Floral Border Wreath

Hello! Today I’m sharing a video and card with a gorgeous Floral Border Wreath! I love these sets and I have some TIPS for you to make it so easy.

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I started out with the Flower Fest stamp set, but if you don’t like coloring or want an easy SHORTCUT, try the Flower Fest Effortless Artistry Paper! The EAP is already colored for you and all you have to do is use the coordinating die to cut them all out! (I’ve linked both below for you to check out).

I arranged my favorite flowers around a Glitter cardstock cut to A2 card size (4 1/4 x 5 1/2). Then I used a sentiment from the Gilded Expressions stamp set. There is also a coordinating die set for this so I can cut out ALL of the sentiments at once. I love this!

If you want FOILED sentiments, check out the Gilded Expressions Effortless Shimmer paper…where you can foil the sentiments, and cut them with the coordinating die!

Citrus Cupcake card

Hello! Today I’m excited to share a Citrus Cupcake card with you, creating my own colors of background patterned paper.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I started off with some foilable paper from Crafty Meraki, but instead of foiling it, I ink blended some Distress Oxide inks! I used colors that reminded me of grapefruit, oranges, and lemons.

Next, I colored up one of my favorite cupcake stamps with the same colors. Love these colors for Spring and Summer!

I also foiled that Hi hot foil plate sentiment with copper colored foil! I know it’s difficult to tell the foiling and color in these photos…it’s so difficult to capture foil in a picture!

I put it all together with a sentiment from the cupcake stamp set. I just love how it all came together!

I hope you enjoyed this citrus inspired project today! I’ll be back with another card to share soon!

Spotted Orchids

Hello! Today I’m excited to share a new card and video coloring up some Spotted Orchids. These are among my favorite flowers to color up, and I have a video with my process using new products from Crafty Meraki!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I paired this with a foiled background using the Floral Filigree Effortless Shimmer paper and an orchid colored foil. So pretty in the light!

Crafting a Pansy

Hello! Today I have a fun video with some die-cutting techniques for Crafty a Pansy. I love pansies, my grandmother loved pansies, my Dad loved pansies…and these cards are dedicated to my memory of them!

I am also using some “leftover foil” to create the backgrounds of these cards. The shine and the shimmer from the foil and the Mica Spray really make them pop!
