Under the Sea

Hi All,

Living in Arizona, the closest we get to underwater adventures is when we head towards the ocean once a year for vacation.  Our favorite underwater spot: St. John, one of Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.  It has the absolute best snorkeling and some gorgeous beaches. But, who says we can't share a bit of the ocean year-round?


I saw this card by Jacque Williams and just had to recreate it.  I love the colors and the serenity that this underwater scene creates.  I actually created this card for a workshop, but found the little fish to be quite tedious, so I switched it up to the following:


I think the octopus is just as cute and a great addition.  He fits perfectly behind all of the coral.
Item# 146488 Sea of Textures $20.00

The stamp set not only offers the octopus and coral, but it also offers some background stamps as well.

Item# 148358 Sea of Textures Bundle $45.00

You can also Bundle it together with the Framelits.  These allow you die cut the octopus, coral, sand dollars, fish net and the cute little fish.  The sand dollars are truly adorable!!!

Item# 141481 Seaside $8.50

If you love the ocean, this Bundle is a must!  The scenes you could create with it are endless.  Use them on a card or in a shadow box.  If you'd like to add this or any other products to your collection, click the 'Order Online' icon in the top right-hand corner.  Thanks for stopping by!

Everyday Butterflies

Wow...it seems like so long since I've posted. It's not that I haven't had cards to share, just not a lot of extra time to sit down and focus on them. Anyone else have this issue?

The card I have for you today uses one of my favorite dies: Beautiful Butterflies. In the Sale-A-Bration catalog, they paired this die with the Fresh Vintage Stamp Set and Everyday Enchantment DSP & Brads. They are a match made in heaven.


The design behind the Butterfly was created by coloring directly on the floral stamp with the Poppy Parade and Lucky Limeade markers. *Hint* Give it a little puff of breath when you're done coloring to make sure it's moist and ready for stamping.

The layers on the butterfly are just yummy. The flower was stamped in Poppy Parade and trimmed up with some snips. They were adhered together with an Everyday Enchantment brad. I chose one with a hint of blue to add a pop of color.

To finish it off, I trimmed down the banner from the Take it to Heart set. It fit perfectly on the top layer. It Some of these items are only available through Sale-A-Bration purchases. Be sure to get those 'Must Have' items before they're gone. They can be yours for Free with a $50 order.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Forever & Always

Hi All...Happy Weekend! Any big plans for Super Bowl Sunday? For once, I really don't care either way who wins. As a Steeler fan, I would much rather not watch the Patriots get to celebrate, but if that happens, we shall just switch the channel ;)

My cards for you today were inspired by this super cool card that caught my eye on Pinterest. It was designed by Kasia over at The Nature of Crafty Things. These hearts are just too fun!


As I've said before, the Hearts Framelits are just fabulous! I would never have been able to make this card with a punch. Punches are great, don't get me wrong, but you are limited as to where you get to punch. With the
se dies, the options are endless!


I kept the same design that Kasia
created, but I swapped out the papers for the Everyday Enchantment DSP. The sentiment is from the Loving Thoughts stamp set. 'Forever & Always'...it could be used for a Wedding, Anniversary or Valentine's Day card.

Which is your favorite: Blue/Green or Blue/Red? I love them both and I'm not sure that I could pick a favorite. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Burlap Bliss

Hi All! It's finally time to break out the hearts. I hope you're ready! I have been pinning away on Pinterest and have so many cute projects that I want to create and share. I just had a workshop this week, so I have at least three to share with you over the next week.

This first card, I couldn't help but recreate. It was inspired by this card from Ingrid Danvers. I fell in love with the Burlap heart. Since I had just gotte
n my new Heart Framelits, I figured it was the perfect time to try them out.


These Framelits are great! Not only do they cut th
rough the Burlap but they cut through the Glimmer Paper as well. The glimmer paper is a bit too thick for my punches, so I haven't really been able to use it. If you want to be playing with different textures, they are a must have.

The background was created using my Music Notes wheel. I've had it a while and I think I've used it once. It's great for creating vintage-y themed cards--which is something I don't usually do. The sentiment is from a new stamp set in the Occasions Mini called Loving Thoughts. It coordinates perfectly with the banner from the new Take it to Heart stamp set. I love the font and it has a lot of great sentiments in it.

My husband joked that this card doesn't really look like my style. It really isn't, but I LOVE everything about it. I hope you do too. Thanks so much for stopping by!
