Snow Day Crafting

/ Leave a Comment

I love a snow day! Instead of going out and running errands as we had planned, we stayed in and had a relaxing day while we watched the snow fall. I took advantage of the day to make some cards.

I used one of my favorite things from the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog ~ Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards Pack. I’m loving the pretty spring color pallet and the pink foil accents of the stickers.

I paired the Cards Pack with the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards and Envelopes. The coordination of the card pack and cards & envelopes make card making quick and easy.

To create this card, I cut a Basic White CS layer and punched a corner with the Very Best Trio punch. I added a small 3″ x 4″ Sweet Thoughts Memory & More card to the Basic White layer, also punching one of the corners with the Very Best Trio punch. I die cut a stitched circle with the Stylish Shapes Dies. With the inside of one of the envelopes from the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More cards & envelopes I punch a 2-1/4″ Circle, then layered it on the stitched circle. To finish the card I added the Happy Birthday stickers, a few flower stickers and some Brushed Brass Butterflies.

My second card also includes a layer of what looks like Designer Series paper but its actually the inside of the envelope I used on the first card, I love all the pretty colors and It added the perfect touch to the cards, don’t you think? The sentiment is stamped with the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set and punched with the Hexagon punch. More Brushed Brass Butterflies complete this pretty card.

My favorite element on this third card is the butterfly. I fussy cut it from one the 4″ x 6″ Sweet Thoughts Memories & More card. I think it looks so pretty with the 3″ x 4″ card. I used my favorite Scalloped Contours Dies to add a few layers in Basic White and Pretty Peacock cardstock.

This last card was created with a layer of Pebbled Path cardstock with a layer of the Sale-A-Bration Softly Stippled Designer Series paper. On the Calypso Coral cardstock layer I stamped some flowers from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Calypso Coral ink. The final layer is another 3″ x 4″ Memories and More card with a few of the stickers with foil accents.

Have you created cards with the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards yet? I hope you’ll give them a try.

Home for the Holidays & An Olive Story

/ Leave a Comment

I am excited to share the Home for the Holidays Paper Pumpkin kit with you today!! I had a chance to sit down and create these colorful holiday cards.

I really wanted to do an unboxing video of this adorable Paper Pumpkin Kit – Home for the Holidays, however, Olive had other ideas.

Olive is my Treeing Walker Coonhound, and she is usually sleeping next to my desk when I’m crafting. I setup my lighting, my phone to record the video and got the video started. I was halfway through creating the first card when she woke up. She smelled the stinky skunk outside and insisted on investigating. After investigating she was ready to get back in her bed when she started to reverse sneeze. If you’ve never heard a dog reverse sneeze its quite alarming the first time. By this time she settled back down at least 45 minutes had passed and it was getting late so I stopped recording for the evening.

Fast foward a week, I tried again to record a video for you and guess what?? Yup, it happened again. Olive woke up and insisted on sniffing all around the desk, nudging my arm to make her presense known and decided she needed to go out to sniff the air. I’m still working on editing the video and I hope it’s useable.

I didnt want to wait any longer to share the cards with you. They are so cute and easy to create. My favorite element in this kit is the glitter glue. It adds a subtle touch of sparkle, and I do love a little sparkle. These cards have lots of vibrant color and dimension too. Aren’t they cute?!
