Less People, More Animals

It's my last day as a guest designer for Jaded Blossom! I had the best time and want to thank Candace and Michelle for having me!

It's no secret that I love animals so the June 2025 release is quickly becoming a favorite!! 

For today's card I tried to include lots of critters from the Gnome Dies: Pet Add Ons.  Throughout the years we've had so many different pets including parakeets, a bearded dragon and a tortoise that I included on my card! I just love the sentiment too, just so fun!!




Have a super day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!!

Wedding Cards Part 2

Here are a few more wedding cards I created. 


My first card uses the February 2020 SheetLoad of Cards. My sentiment was a bit bigger than the sketch so I altered it a bit.



Next I used the fun Simon Says Stamps Dot Scallop Border die along with pretty paper from Echo Park to create the design of the card.



I used the July 2019 SheetLoad of Cards for my layout! Once again my sentiment was larger than the sketch called for so I altered it a bit.



I used some pretty papers along with the great sentiment for the next card.



I felt like I could just keep going and creating these but needed to stop and do work on design team projects.

Have a wonderful day!! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Wedding Card for my daughter

I'm posting this well after my daughter's wedding so I'm sure not to ruin the surprise but here's the card I created for her on her special day!

I used the March 2023 SheetLoad of Cards for my layout. I love that you can use the SheetLoads for a set or just one!

I thought the sentiment from Honey Bee's Inside: Wedding Sentiments was just perfect!!

No Mess, No Stress

Today I have a fun card using the cute stamp set, Cat Chores from C.C. Designs! I pulled out my Waffle Flower Postage Collage die and built my card from there!

I needed a little "something, something" so I used the little detail dies from the retired C.C. Designs Quad Collage die for some fun interest.

Wedding Cards Part 1

Today I'm sharing several wedding cards that I created. Several were for friends/family for my daughter's wedding so I'm posting this after her wedding so she doesn't see any of them ahead of time. I will have a part 2 as I just kept creating and didn't want this post to be too long.


The first one uses the March 2024 SheetLoad of Cards sketch!




Next I used the Happily Ever After die from Simon Says Stamp for my sentiment/focal point. I stamped a second sentiment on the inside. 




My next card uses a sketch I saved from a blog challenge that is no longer active.


The Wedded Bliss stamp set from Sunny Studio is just adorable!

Conquer Your Day Like A True Viking

I've had the Vikings Collection from Scrappy Boy Stamps for awhile now but haven't had a chance to create with it so I had to change that since it's such a great collection!!

I really like the background stamps, Viking Runes Background. I love that Scrappy Boy Stamps is starting to have some background stamps now.

I paired my stamped background with some of the Vikings paper for a fun look. I really like how it turned out!




Have a great day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Hot Dog Eating Contest!

I have a super fun card today using lots of goodies from Jaded Blossom! Summertime brings all the fun things including a Hot Dot Eating Contest! My hubby entered a hot dog eating contest one year but didn't like it because you couldn't have ketchup or mustard. I don't think our gnome friends will have that problem since there is a bottle of mustard, hehe!!
