Happy Birthday Card with Dried Flowers Hello! Here is a tiny and simple birthday card I made a few months ago. From my birthday last year, I pressed all the flowers my husband gave me and took a few small strands of grass and brush to press as well. This was actually the first time I have ever done this and realized you must be careful when handling the dried and delicate flowers! I used a regular card stock, added floral layer paper and textured the edges out. I used dried leaves and mulberry roses in the corner. I also added gold transfer-on letters which look better in person. Like I alw ..read more

Happy Holidays Candy Cane Card Hello everyone!  Here is an old holiday card I made last year but never posted it. This year (2018) I did not make any holiday cards mostly because me, my husband, and our kids all got sick...so it has been rough! I miss making cards. I have also been working on my Etsy Shop. Check it out if you have time. I enjoy feedback and ideas! I also have a second blog that features detailed photos and descriptions of my items from my etsy shop. Check out my Etsy Shop Blog when you have time!  This card is super simple to make and I find this way to be the bes ..read more

Happy Birthday Card Using Recycled Stash Hello all!  Long time, no post! This summer has been busy with having allll the kids at home. We live on a farm as well, so I'm running around with my children, goats, dogs, cats, and a bunny! The weather has been so hot and so humid we can't go outside until about 5 pm so it makes it difficult to keep everyone entertained and getting along. :)  Good news! School is about 2 weeks away!! If I could sing, I would!  Here is a sloppy happy birthday card I made recently. Why is it a little off? Well, I used old items from stash! Some roses ..read more

Happy Birthday Panda Bear Card Hello all! It looks like it has been a while since I posted a card! I have been super busy lately and it makes me sad when I cannot post at least twice a month! Now, that the kids are out of school in a few days, hopefully I can start posting more. Today I am posting a super simple, poor-quality picture taken card LOL. All you need is paper and awesome stickers.     Materials paper - of any kind (I used embossed decorative paper) scissors - cut the card to any desired size (I cut mine 4x6) stickers - I used lower case letters & 3D panda b ..read more

Vintage Thank You Card Hello! It has been a long time since I have posted a card! Just been busy with the family and I have made a few cards to some people recently, and took photos of them, but haven't had the time to transfer everything to computer, edit, and post... there is a lot to do just for one post and I kept putting it off. My photos did not come out as good as I wanted but the days are still gloomy, however no rain or snow !! For this card, I think it looks a little "vintage" but I could be wrong. I wasn't sure what to name it but I thought it came out lovely. I should have added ..read more

Friends Forever Card Hello everyone! I have been meaning to post this card that I made like a month ago but it has been super busy of here! I have three children in school (at two different schools! 1 in junior high and 2 in elementary) and one child at home with me....all day!! So it has been busy with all the homework, the birthday parties, and the holidays coming up. And tons of laundry! Seriously I need a little vacation. My birthday is in January so hopefully my husband picks up these hints.  I have not made any holiday cards....yet. But I have been making some cards that I need fo ..read more

Friends Card with Tulips Here is another card I made using the same die-cut chipboard Friends full of glitter. I used a little rhinestone, ribbon, and two paper tulips to create the rest of my look. I am satisfied with the overall outcome!  I hope everyone is saying some prayers (not matter what religion you are) and pray for the world. There has been so much unnecessary violence recently, horrific weather changes, and unfairness with the government that it makes if difficult to see the future for our lives. So much continues to happen and evil begins to prosper. It is sad when comm ..read more

Friends Card with Butterflies I would like to show you a pretty cute card I made that is full of patterns, butterflies, and glitter! The paper I used is about 3.5x6 inches. For the wooden die-cut Friends, I added it with Mod pdge and sprinkled it with tons of white glitter. Then, I added a sealant on top so that none of the glitter flakes off! The glitter stays intact and shiny! I like this, because I don't like when you get a card or crafts where the glitter ends up all over your hands!  This is one of the few cards that I have made WITHOUT flower ..read more

Just For You - An Owl Gift Tag Hello everyone! I haven't been on blogger recently and turned out that I needed to download the Chrome browser! I don't know stuff like this haha! What's scary is that I'm young enough where I should know this stuff...how to work the internet and all. FINALLY, I can show you all a cute and super easy gift tag I made. I start making cards and gift tags around this time because in my family there are tons of August birthdays. I made this gift tag about a month ago and wanted to show it way earlier but I couldn't post anything onto my blog!  I used a hot glue ..read more

Butterfly Card Hello everyone! Here is a card I made that quickly and tried a few different things. I am not sure if I like the outcome, but it is different. I used lace, flowers (as usual), 3D butterfly, and I handwrote Butterfly. My handwriting did not come out as good as I wanted, but it'll do. :) And on a side note, Blogger won't let me share my posts with my communities on Google+. I used to be able to share to "Cardmaking Communities" with my blogger account being linked to Google+ and now it will only let me share to "Public" only. Any insight on this?
