Sometimes Things are Falling into Place

By on October 31, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a card that is very much perfect for the year I’ve had. I created this card all around the most beautiful sentiment that says: “Sometimes when things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into place.”

Wow. What a great way to look at things. Here is the card I created with this sentiment.

I love this sentiment so much. Some of you know, but not many, that I was experiencing lots of pain in my hands and my neck that started last year. And this year, after many tests, x-rays, MRI, and doctors visits I was told by 2 different doctors that I had a life-threatening condition in my neck. It was caused by a chiropractor who cracked my neck in a way that my neck did not like!

I am now in physical therapy and other therapies to help alleviate the pain and get my neck back into the correct position. However, it takes time and there is no quick fix.

I did not mean to make this post about my physical challenges, but this sentiment sure makes me think about what this situation could really mean for my life.

Falling into place….

I love this sentiment together with this stencil. I have a video on using this stencil and how it all came together. Watch it below or on YouTube:

I am grateful for the time I have to craft (even when it’s painful) and for the time I have to learn. I love how creating cards can be so healing and happy for me.

I have put together a list of the products I used on this card, in case you are interested. I use affiliate links when I can, and when you purchase using these links I may receive a small commission (at no additional cost to you). These little bits help me to keep bringing you projects and videos; and they also help to pay for my physical therapy costs. So I THANK YOU very very much if you use any of my links. <3

Thanks for stopping by!

Paper Tile Encouragement Cards

By on October 6, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have some very encouraging cards…that look like kitchen tile. These are simple to put together, but pack a punch with bold sentiments and a tiled look. These would be perfect masculine cards too!

Today I made these hexagon designs with black, white and grey cardstock. but they would be beautiful in multi-colors.

I have a video to show you some tips on lining up the tiles and making them easy. Watch it below or on YouTube:

I made these cards for my husband, who is currently renovating a house and experiencing LOTS of set-backs. Ugh. So I thought a little encouragement would be in order. The tile is similar to a bath tile he picked out!

Good Things ahead!

I love the look of these tiles, with the alternating colors. For this one, I added an orange sentiment and some Nuvo drops to look like rivets.

After I put these two cards together, I had some leftover hexagons, so I made one extra card, using a small box stencil for the backdrop.

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!

I hope you enjoyed all these tiled cards! Thanks for stopping by.
