Happy Monday! #1: Pretty Spring Greeting Card

Today I made a simple Spring card made using homemade paper flowers and stamped embossing. The paper flowers I made were made using the Sizzix Bigz Die - Tattered Florals by Tim Holtz as well as a couple of the Ranger Tim Holtz® Distress Ink Minis.

In this video, you'll see just what I think about the MISTI! The newest stamping tool on the market.

Let's Color! #4: In a Perfect Pearl

In a perfect world, everything would shimmer like this card made using Ranger Perfect Pearls Embellishment Pigment Kit, Metallics.  Perfect Pearls are easy to woek with and not quite as messy as glitter.































This card is perfect for cheering up a dear friend or to congratulate the prom queen. You could turn it into a bridal party/shower invite or a thank you note as well.

Deep Red always makes the best deeply detailed stamps with intricate design. The
Deep Red Cling Stamp-Dress Form Flourish that I used here is so elegant I will definitely be using it again, very soon.

I chose to design this card to look like a dress one would envy in a window on a window-shopping stroll.  Or as a portrait in an antique frame.

Follow along with the video below to create a card similar to this one.

Cuttin' Up! #1: Spring is in the Air

Let me start by saying I love, love love my Cricut Explorer w/ Wireless Adapter!!!! This machine has taken paper crafting to a whole new level.

In fact, I love it so much that I've added a new series to my YouTube Channel titled Cuttin' Up!. 

The Cuttin' Up! Series will feature projects made using the Cricut Explore.  

I hope you check it out! 

I found the cutest bunny image and after being unflattened and using the Print then Cut feature of the machine I created this adorable Easter card for my granddaughter.  Plus, I had enough left over pieces to package up a kit for my neice to put together on her own. 

Enjoy this video showing how to print/cut and assemble this adorable Easter Card! 

For your convenience, I've listed below most if not all the supplies I've used for cards on this blog.
