Happy Birthday Card Featuring Lawn Fawn Magic Messages Stamps


When I picked up The Greetery Pinwheel Party stencil and dies I had in my mind a card similar to these cards marrying Lawn Fawn Magic Iris dies and the pinwheels to make a birthday card.  I decided to use a more masculine color palette.  I really like how these turned out.


The new Lawn Fawn Magic Messages sentiments stamps were a great fit.  I am so pleased with how these turned out.




 So festive and right on point for a masculine card.  Hooray!

Bright and Cheery Hello Featuring Taylored Expressions Picked Posies Stamps


A few of the pretty Taylored Expressions Picked Posies were still sitting on my desk all colored with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.  They were so pretty that I just had to match them with this adorable text patterned paper.  In the final analysis, these cards a bit different for me, but I really like how they turned out!

Hello Sunshine Using Lawn Fawn Magic Messages Stamps


I picked up the Lawn Fawn Magic Messages stamps and dies and this meant that I just needed to make some interactive cards featuring the Magic Iris dies and pairing them with the new sentiments.  I loved the Hello Sunshine sentiment and decided to start with this card and some stenciled rays from the sun.



I just love how this turned out and it was really fun to make.  Lawn Fawn's interactive dies are very easy to use and put the card together quickly.  Yay!

Psalms Notecards Featuring The Greetery Print Shop Floral Frame Stamps and Dies


I so loved The Greetery Print Shop Floral Frame stamps and dies and decided that they paired with an excellent result with my Papertrey Ink Year of Psalms stamps.  Putting them together on a field of white resulted in this beautiful set of cards.













Can you tell I had a lot of fun working on these?  So very pleased with how they turned out.

Picked Just for You Featuring Taylored Expressions Picked Posies


I had a few of the Taylored Expressions Picked Posies stamped on Bristol cardstock which I colored with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.  I have so enjoyed the Taylored Expressions Pierced Circles coverplate die that I decided to do a monochromatic look in a landscape card.


 I've really had some fun with this stamp set and the results are oh so pretty!

What If You Fly? More Cards Featuring Taylored Expressions Butterfly Wishes Stamps and Dies


I wanted to play some more with my Taylored Expressions Butterfly Wishes stamps, stencils and dies and so I decided to replicate the card I made for my daughter, Katie, to celebrate her college graduation.  This time, I mixed up the colors on this first card to blend in multi-colors.



 So fun and adorable.  I can tell you that this stamp, stencil and dies are one of my favorites.

These Are for You Featuring Taylored Expressions Picked Posies


I decided to use my Taylored Expressions Picked Posies to make this set of cards and pulled out my Inktense watercolor pencils to do the coloring.  


These stamps are so delightful and I ended up fussy cutting the flowers and stems in order to make the cards.  So much fun and I got to use the Inktense pencils which I haven't used in a long time!

Celebrating an Accomplishment


Brandy made this delightful pop up card to wish my daughter Katie a very happy graduation.  Katie graduated from Northern Arizona University last month and we had a virtual graduation celebration.  This card featured the NAU colors and was the most adorable of all the cards she received.  Yay for Brandy!

These adorable candies were a part of the goodies.... I mailed some to each participant.  They are made with Reeses Mini-Peanut Butter Cups, Ghirardelli chocolate squares that are "glued" together with candy melts.  The tassels are cut from Sour Patch Kids strip candies (chewy sour candies) and a little decorative yellow cake sprinkle.  So fun!


Additionally, I made these banners for each virtual participant.  Cut with my Silhouette, the banners are in NAU colors and on sticks that the participants could stick into the Ding Dong (cake for the party!) as a decoration.  It wasn't quite like having a college graduation party, but it was fun and unique for a pandemic sort of senior year!

One Last Mother's Day Card Featuring Taylored Expressions Butterfly Wishes Stamp, Stencil and Dies


One more last Mother's Day card that I hadn't previously shared. This one was a card front created with the Taylored Expressions Butterfly Wishes stamp, stencil and dies and a cute little circle sentiment.  It was a very fun bunch of cards to make and now I get to move onto other projects.

A Special Mother's Day Card


 I had to save this card to share after Mother's Day because it was made for a very special young lady to give to her mom.  Not knowing anything and considering this card was made especially for her, I saved the share until after the big day.  Brandy bears some credit as she used her Cricut to die cut that piano which I promptly filled with pretty blooms.  I also borrowed Brandy's background stamp to make the entire card come together in a musical way!  

I'm hoping that the card is treasured, but more that the young lady and her mom enjoyed the big day!
