Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I want to share with you the last card we created in my card classes this month.


The card base is made from Pineapple Smoothie Cardstock.  I then layered two pieces of paper, one that I embossed with the Bright Days Embossing Folder and one piece of RSVP Pattern Paper.
I then die cut the scallop pieces from Bubble Gum Cardstock using the Border Essentials Die set. I placed these back to back on the card over the seam of the two pieces of paper.  I then added a strip of the same pattern paper over that seam.
I then die cut the Treat Label out of Whip Cream cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment from Everyday Script with Rock Candy ink.  I then die cut it with it's matching die set. 
To finish the card, I added a few Silver Fashion Embellishments to the card front.

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I am changing gears and sharing one of the cards that we made in my card classes this month.  I think this might be my favorite one too.



The card base is made from Whip Cream Cardstock and a piece of Good Life Pattern paper.
I then die cut the Bloom Cluster from Fresh Sage Cardstock and the Summer Branch from Journey Vellum.  I cut these in pieces and attached them to opposite corners from each other.
I then die cut from the Good Life Pattern Paper, the blue striped circle.  I attached this to the front of the card using foam squares.
Next, I stamped my sentiment from the Cottage Bouquet set, with Black Licorice ink.  I also stamped the daisy from the Cottage Bouquet set with Black Licorice.  I colored the flower with Color Burst Pencils.
I attached the sentiment with adhesive and then added the flower with a foam square.

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I have another card to share that I made using the On the Bright Side stamp set from Fun Stampers Journey.


This one was a lot of fun to make.
I started by die cutting scallop borders from Border Basics from Beach Breeze Cardstock, keeping the negative pieces.  I layered these on the card base made from Pool Play Cardstock.
I then stamped the images from stamp set, fussy cut them out and colored each one with Color Burst Pencils.  I then added them to the card using foam squares.
Next, I die cut the clouds from Whip Cream Cardstock with Cloud Dream die set.  I stamped the sentiment with Beach Breeze ink on one of the clouds and then added them to the card front.

Hello Crafty Friends,

It has been a whirlwind of a few days.  I have been so busy that nothing but work and home is getting done.

I am back though and have some great things to share with you.

Today, I am sharing another card from the On the Bright Side stamp set from Fun Stampers Journey.


I created the background by randomly stamping the images with Black Licorice ink on the Pool Play Cardstock base.
I then die cut Beach Breeze Cardstock, the two scallop borders with Border Basics Die set.  I then anchored these on a strip of Whip Cream Cardstock, that I had stamped with the sentiment from On The Bright Side stamp set and Black Licorice ink.
I stamped the sailboat and lure with Black Licorice ink on Pool Play Cardstock and Whip Cream Cardstock.  I used the Journey Color Burst pencils to color each image.  I then anchored them to the card using foam squares.
I finish the card by adding a piece of Natural Twine around the card and tied it to the lure.

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today is a very special little boys birthday and I want to share the card I created for him.


The pattern paper is from my stash, and I anchored this on a piece of Whip Cream Cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey.  I then took another piece of Whip Cream cardstock and cut out a circle with Journey Circle Dies.  I stamped Happy Birthday from a stamp in my stash and Black Licorice ink from Fun Stampers Journey.

But the star of the show is the little Skater which I colored with my Copic Markers.  The stamp is a Paper Nest Doll and I love the simplicity of these stamps.

Hello Crafty Friends,

I hope you had a great weekend.
This past weekend we celebrated the life of a dear friend.  I made this card in honor of her.


This is a very simple card. 
First you die cut the Rose Garden die from a piece of Bubble Gum Cardstock.  I then glued this to the card base I made with Pineapple Smoothie Cardstock. 
Next, die cut a Whip Cream tag from Treat Label die.  I stamped the sentiment from the Must Have Sentiments Stamp Set with Black Licorice ink.
I added some Fashion brads and a Special Days Organza ribbon bow to finish it off.

Hello Crafty Friends,

I am not done with making Birthday cards.  I made this card for a swap recently.


I love making shaker cards.  With the right tools, you can make lots of shaker cards.

I die cut the rectangle with the Journey Rectangles Die Set from Fun Stampers Journey.  I cut with two dies and pierced with one die in between.
I cut the balloons out on my cricut from some scrap cardstock I had.
After the card was layers up, I added the sentiment from the stamp set Inside and Out from Fun Stampers Journey and stamped it on with River Stone ink a piece of Whip Cream Cardstock and cutting a banner into the end.

The customer was very happy.

It is the first of the month and you know what that means.  We have a new "Anything Goes" challenge at the Love to Craft Challenge Blog.

Today, I want to share the card I created for the Design Team.


I used the Hearts and Bows ATC stamp and stamped with Black Licorice ink on Bubble Gum Cardstock, Watermelon Fusion Cardstock and Cranberry Bliss Cardstock.  I then anchored with with foam squares to the Black Licorice Cardstock and Pearled Basics panel.  I then added this panel to the Whip Cream Cardstock base. 
I added the sentiment from the Annual Celebrations set wih Black Licorice ink at the bottom.
Simple, but very festive.
