Darlin', You're as Pretty as a Peach

Today I have a sweet card using the C.C. Designs Southern Charm stamp set. I love the attitude that comes through in this stamp set! 

I was excited when I realized I had the "perfect" peach paper to go along with the sentiment, "Darlin', You're as Pretty as a Peach". The Not 2 Shabby Watercolor Peaches 6x6 Paper Pad was so perfect and pretty with this stamp set.

I did make a 5x5 card and used the MFT Blueprints 14 for my layers. It's not a die set I use often but it is so fun and different!



Have an amazing day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Mer-May 2025 Day 20 | Last Day of Series

Today is Day 20 of my Mer-May 2025 series and also the last day of my series. I have tried to keep up but I have lots of things due this week for design teams and I was feeling very anxious, so I decided to end the series to take some of the pressure off myself. I am very happy I made it 20 days! I still might do a few more mermaid cards this month but not daily!

For today's card I used some little merwees that I found colored up. I put them on a slimline card so I could use them all.  You can watch today's video HERE!!

A Mother's Nest

I'm hoping that these Mother's Day cards have reached their destination so I don't ruin the surprise. I created these two cards for my mom and my mother-in-law for Mother's Day. I am the worst at sending out cards for "occasions" so I was really trying this year to get some cards in the mail for these ladies in our lives!

I thought the Unity stamp set, A Mother's Nest was perfect for these cards. I paired them both with the Not 2 Shabby 6x6 paper pad, Flowers: The Music of Spring.
