Hello Friends! I'm back today with a holiday card to share. I used the awesome Ombre paper pad from Scrapbook.com. This paper makes it look like you ink blended perfectly (insert chef's kiss)!


I started by die cutting a sheet of Ombre paper using the new Nested Scallop Stitched Frame. I added the outside frame to my card base then I stamped my snow globe and die cut it out. I then stamped the snow glob image on top.


Next, I die cut a smaller circle out of the middle of my snow globe so I could create a shaker card. I added some sequins to the middle and then adhered the snow globe onto my die cut frame/panel.


Lastly, I added a few snowflakes to my card and finished it off by adding the Happy Holidays sentiment. I think this card is so fun and festive! Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Hugs,

Carol

Hello Friends! I did something I haven't done in a long time...Pocket Scrapbooking! I almost forgot just how fun it is! And, the fact that it can be done so quickly, really made me start looking through ALL of those photos on my phone! 


I knew I wanted to use the Enchanted paper pad, so as I was scrolling through my thousands of photos (please tell me I'm not the only one), I came across our trip to Epcot. PERFECT! 


I used a 9x12 Pocket page protector and went to work. I cut out my patterned paper and added to one of the side pockets. I then cut down 2 more pieces of patterned paper to add my title and photo. 


I added a few more photos and typed up my journaling onto some vellum. I cut that down and added to the top of another piece of patterned paper. Lastly, I used a pocket card and slid that into my final pocket. I truly cannot wait to create another page!

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Hello Friends! It's that time of year, school picture time! As with all of the school pics over the last several years, I love adding the latest pic to my Memorydex.


So, first can I just say that I still can't believe the Paige is in the 5th grade! I'm going to have a middle schooler next year! How in the world did that happen? Okay, I digress...I started off by cutting my Vintage
patterned paper and then adhering my photo.


Next, I used my new favorite die set, Stitched Stamps and cut small faux postage using the same patterned paper. I then added the fabulous die cut on top of the faux stamps.


Lastly, I added a sub-sentiment using the Christmas Animals rubons. I absolutely LOVE the rubons from Scrapbook.com they go on like buttah! I love how this turned out!! Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hello Friends! I'm back today with a sweet birthday card. I'm always in need of a birthday card and the critters from the Enchanted Forest stamp/die set was perfect!


There were so many cute critters to choose from but I just fell in love with that sweet bunny! And how about that tree stump! I love the detail that the embossing brings to that die! I also chose a sweet fox and I die cut a balloon that is also included in this set.


I also used the Woodland paper pad for my background. Doesn't it look like wallpaper? I just love it! I feel like the critters just jump off the page with that patterned paper as the backdrop. 


This is such a sweet card and I can't wait to get it in the mail! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hello Friends! I'm here today sharing a sweet card with awesome products from Scrapbook.com. I love that the holiday are upon us because I enjoy making fun and festive cards. 


This card just puts me in the Fall frame of mind. Living in South Florida, we really don't have an autumn season but the Woodland paper pad makes up for it for me!


I also used the Pumpkin Spice stamp/die combo for my sweet treats and that cute sentiment! I did my coloring using alcohol ink markers and then die cut each one and arranged onto my patterned paper. 


It's a little hard to see in the pic, but I also used the Patchwork coverplate die for the patterned paper at the bottom of my card. I think it brings a nice homey feel to the card. 

I hope you enjoyed my card today. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Today, I'm sharing another sweet Halloween card. Remember, I said I really don't do Halloween? Well, I'm doing Halloween cards like it's nobody's business! The cuteness is just right up my alley!


Okay, is this cute or what?! A Mummy Bear die set! Oh my goodness. So, for this card, I started with my background and I pulled out paper from the Willow Lane paper pad. I also sprayed a little shimmer
mist for some added sparkle.


Next, I did all of my die cutting while the shimmer mist was drying. I die cut the ghost, mummy bear and sentiment and started adhering to my card front. For that circle, I also did a little stenciling using the batty stencil.

That stencil is now a favorite and you're going to see it again and again! I used a gray ink to lightly ink up my stencil and create that cool background.


Next, I used something that is totally new to me, ASTROPASTE! I am so smitten! I must get more!! I used the beautiful flutter stencil to apply the Astropaste. I added it to select places on my card front. As a side note, I did get some of the Astropaste in places that I did not want but after it dried, I used my sand eraser which took care of most of it. The little that was left behind, I covered with a few sequins!! 


I think this card turned out so cute! And, I "Thank You' for stopping by today. It really means the world to me!

Hello Friends! I had a wonderful weekend full of crafting! My sweet daughter also crafted along with me and we had a blast!

I recently received some new goodies from Scrpbook.com and I used a few of those to make a fun summer inspired card.


I used the Beach Vacation die set for my scene. I love how realistic those palm trees look! Before I adhered my die cut images, I used the Small Checkered for my background.


For my sand, I used some white paint splatter to give a little interest, then I adhered my die cut pieces. You see that little drink there on the lower right? I created that using a rectangle die to cut some patterned paper, then I fussy cut my "straw" out of silver card stock. Lastly, I added my sentiment using the Hello Summer stamp set.


I love how this card turned out! Although, we have some wind and rain coming through right now, I can still enjoy the beach, even if it is just a card! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

HAPPINESS CRAFTED

Love you to the beach and back

August 4, 2024

Hello Friends! I had a wonderful weekend full of crafting! My sweet daughter also crafted along with me and we had a blast!

I recently received some new goodies from Scrpbook.com and I used a few of those to make a fun summer inspired card.


I used the Beach Vacation die set for my scene. I love how realistic those palm trees look! Before I adhered my die cut images, I used the Small Checkered for my background.

Hello Friends! Boy, do I have a treat for you today! I have the most adorable rub-ons you have ever seen and they are available NOW at Scrapbook.com.


OMG! Adorable, right? I used Birthday Animals, Birthday Party and Sprinkles rub-ons for this cute notecard set! These are 4x4 and I believe I only used one stamp and one die, everything else is rub-ons!


Also, if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, these rub-ons are like buttah!! They go on so smooth! I think these little notecards would be perfect to tuck inside of a gift bag. Since these are 4x4, I also made custom envelopes to go along with them!


I just pulled out some patterned paper and my envelope punch board, easy peasy! Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hugs,

Carol
