Daisies for Mom

Hello! I have a couple daisy cards to share today, using a favorite die set from Scrappy Tails Crafts. This set is called Layering Daisies and it’s really fun to work with.

My video shows you an easy way to watercolor these dies, and create two cards. Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I love working with these products…and you can see the Hummingbird I used here on this card. Hummingbirds are my mom’s favorites and everytime I see one, I think of her.

I used brush watercolor markers for these cards, which are so vibrant and colorful!

For the background on this card, I mixed some watercolor brush marker color with embossing paste. Then I added it to my card panel with a dot stencil. I added the daisies all around the frame of the card.

The circle sentiments are my favorites! So unique and perfect for cutting out glitter paper. I used glitter paper on both projects.






Hope you enjoyed these projects today. See you soon!

Spring Birdhouses

Hello! I’m so happy to share these Spring Birdhouses with you today. These can be made into slimline cards OR Pop-up cards and I’m going to show you how easy they are to make! Of course, once I started making them I just had to make a rainbow of birdhouses. (That’s the logical thing to do, right?!)

I have a video showing how to put these together and how to make both the card AND Pop-up card. I love them both…and you can stand them up to make a Spring decor piece, too! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

For most of these birdhouses, I used the Woodgrain die cut…but sometimes I only EMBOSSED that woodgrain into the paper. It really creates a great look and it’s a bit of a variation from the die cut itself.

See that woodgrain embossed on this purple card? It is my new favorite background! I added some Layered Daisies dies on this one and the You Are Beautiful medallion, which is an incentive die when you purchase a qualifying amount at the Scrappy Tails shop.

The Mother’s Day sentiment dies are also among my favorites and I used them on these cards:

Left to right: embossed woodgrain background, White woodgrain die on cream cardstock, kraft woodgrain die on cream cardstock.

I love all the variety you can get with these Birdhouses and the Woodgrain background. Imagine all the colors you could die cut these from, OR emboss multiple colors of cardstock! I just couldn’t stop with these birdhouses!

The hummingbirds are from the Mama Birds Stamp set, and the other colorful birds are from the Spring Birds stamp set. I’ve listed and linked them all below if you want to check them out.

All the flowers used in all these cards are from the Layered Daisies dies. I love these because there are such a variety of flowers. You get some front facing flowers like the ones on the pink card, and some reaching up to the sun like the ones on the orange card! So many to choose from.

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 these projects today! I sure loved making them. Check out the video for more details on how to put these together and make them stand up! Thanks for stopping by.

Hummingbird Card for Mom

Hello! Today I have a card to share with the brand new March release from Scrappy Tails Crafts. I fell in love with these hummingbirds right away and knew I wanted to make a card for Mom (her favorite birds!)

I also used the new Layered Daisy dies, which I just made into one layer for this card, but I think they layer up even more for so much drama!

I colored all the images and the die cuts with Copic Markers. I attached some with foam tape and some I adhered directly to the card so a dimensional look.

There are so many beautiful products in this release! I got the birdhouse pop-up set and I can’t WAIT to show you some fun projects with that. And, they are having a promotion (see photo above)! Go check it out.

Scrappy Tails Crafts is a new stamp company, I think this might be their third release! Sabrina, the owner, is so kind and talented and I think her products are high quality. Definitely worth a look if you love supporting small businesses!

Hope you enjoyed!
