Morning, all! I hope your weekends were wonderful! :)
For today’s Make a Card Monday card I wanted to create another masculine card. It seems that you guys just can’t get enough of them. :) This one is great because you can swap out the words for whatever you like and create a different card. For example, you can use the letter stickers to create a birthday card, a father’s day card, or an anniversary card. You can make it whatever you want. :)
Hi all! Today’s card is the third video in my Birthday Card mini series.
I thought it would be fun to use my Silhouette Cameo to cut out a banner and the sentiment for the card. You can see how I did that in the video. Also, you can purchase the banner design below. :)

Happy Tuesday! I have another Simon card for you today!
Last week we revealed the June Card Kit, so today was perfect for creating a card using the kit. This is a different style for me, but at the same time… familiar. :) A more soft, vintage feel can translate to different styles and aesthetics, too. I generally go for a more clean look, and I think I still achieved that even though I used more vintage supplies and imagery.
This kit is just yummy. Plus, you get two stamp sets with it. Totally worth it in my mind. Plus, the papers are gorgeous, too.
I’m happy to be part of a blog hop today featuring some new BasicGrey product. :) BG announced two new lines that will be hitting stores very soon and I adore them! Paper Cottage and Clippings…
My favorite of the two is Paper Cottage. Just look at this loveliness…
Giveaway Time!
As part of the blog hop, BasicGrey is offering one lucky reader a 6×6 pad of Paper Cottage and my favorite embellishment from the line: the wooden buttons…

Hello! Sending you lots of glittery love today! Hope your weekend was wonderful! :)
For today’s Make a Card Monday card and video and I wanted to try out the American Crafts Glitter Tape. It’s been out for a while, but I haven’t really had a chance to play with it too much until now. Or rather, I haven’t thought about it too much until now. :)
Anyhow, I used the glitter tape to create a pattern. Super easy and simple. A bit time consuming, but totally worth it in my opinion. I finished the card off with some white Thickers and a punched heart that I covered with red Stickles glitter glue. Lots of sparkles today!
Hi all! I have another Simon card for you today. And I adore this sunny card. :)
I just adore this stamp set from Ali Edwards and Technique Tuesday. It’s just calling out to be used with a yellow sun rays card, don’t you think? It just makes me happy. :)
To create the rays pattern on the card, I created a template. You can DOWNLOAD THE TEMPLATE HERE. It’s a PDF file that you can print out and use to make your own sunshine rays card. Enjoy!
