By on March 17, 2024 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, St. Patrick's Day

Today I have a really fun, and REALLY QUICK video sharing some cute and quick cards. I’m using Quick Card Fronts from Whimsy Stamps and I just adore them!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I also share these Quick Card Fronts in the video: (OH YUM!)

Sometimes you just want to make a quick card, right? So I love these for that. You can add as much or as little as you want and it always comes out great!

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!

Mini Valentine Shaker Notes
By  on February 13, 2024  in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines   

	

	    

Hello! It’s an exciting day for me to share some Mini Valentine Shaker Notes…these are little note card sized shakers that are oh-so-sweet. I hope you enjoy!





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:













These note cards measure 3.5″ x 4.25″ so they are a nice little size to fit into a lunch bag or a briefcase! (Wink*) I love how easy they are to build up with the polaroid die from Whimsy Stamps. I will show you in the video how to make the “walls” to keep the shaker bits inside the shaker, and how to add the acetate topper.





I used a variety of stamps and dies to decorate the fronts of each card, all images that I LOVE!

This Polaroid Die fits a slimline card, and for the mini cards I cut it apart to build up the shakers. It is also a cute design to make a slimline card, so I have included a sample of that here:






		
		
			
			
		
	





I hope you enjoyed these projects today! I wish you a very happy Valentine’s Day (aka Hugs Day!) filled with love. See you soon with more cards!

Foiling and Angry Birds
By  on January 6, 2024  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Happy New Year! I’m back with my first video and card share of the New Year. I hope your holidays were delightful and not nearly as cold as it is for these Angry Birds cards I am sharing today.





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





For these cards, I started with some Toner Card fronts from Whimsy Stamps. I used some aqua DecoFoil to foil this snowflake background…then I saved the leftover foil to make the second card background.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I think these birds are so funny (but don’t they look cold…brrr)! There is another fun image in this stamp set also, so go and check it out. I have the supplies listed below.

I hope you enjoyed the foiling and these card projects today! It’s been chilly here, but not cold enough for snow (we rarely get snow here in Arizona). How about where you are? See you soon with more cards to share!

Masking a Snowflake
By  on December 16, 2023  in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a fun Snowman card with a Snowflake Mask. This is a fun one because it involves masking with a stencil and masking with adhesive masks. I hope you enjoy the video!





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





This is a very unique and very cute snowman!! This stamp set offers a few options for his hands…I used the clasped hands and masked them off before stamping the snowman body. I do have to say: I AM IN LOVE with the No-Fuss Instant Masks from Whimsy! I just think they are genius!






		
		
			
			
		
	





After I stamped the snowman, I also masked off the body so I could use the It’s A Snowflake Mask Stencil to add that beautiful purple snowflake. You could create a snowflake in any color you want, of course!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I finished this card off with a mat of purple and some silver pearl beads.

How About a Tropical Christmas?

Hello! Today I have a Tropical Christmas slimline card featuring Santa and Mrs. Claus at the beach! I really loved creating this card…I pulled in a Slimline Postage die set to make it feel like a travel/postcard vibe.





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I just love these vacationing Clauses! They look so happy with drinks in hand. I gave them a bit of glittery gloss on their sunglasses…movie stars!





I hope you will watch the video to see how this card came together, and to see my cardstock-saving TIP!






		
		
			
			
		
	





Does it snow for Christmas where you are? I think Santa & his wife really deserved this tropical vacation!
