2026: With You- I'm Home [Card #111]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

Today it's been 2️⃣ years since we bought our home in South Carolina. 
I wanted to create a keychain type of card... so I pulled out a VERY OLD, VERY HEAVY metal key and some jewelry chain. I wanted to make a house the keychain charm, and the Pink & Main Home dies were the perfect fit! 

I finished the charm with a P&M Home Sweet Home sentiment- I truly am home when I'm with Trav. I told him that I could make a home anywhere HE was... and that's true. However, I won't lie... the last two years have been very hard. The good news is that we are strong and doing well- we will get through this hard season and hopefully look back and laugh or smile at how far we've come! I'll keep you posted as to WHEN this happens:) LOL  
 
Here's to our second year owning this SC brick home and to NEVER moving again (maybe!?!? LOL!)!!!  

That's it for me today.

THANKS so much for stopping by! MORE to come ðŸ’Œ

Be blessed ❤️

2026: Another Butterfly Card [Card #103]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
I have ANOTHER card for the Simon Says IG Challenge (things with wings)--- this time I went with a large foiled butterfly design! 
I really wanted the have just the P&M Sketched Butterfly Foilable Panel as the background (because look at it!!!! It's soooooooooo beautiful by itself!)... so I colored just a strip of light blue behind the large foiled and colored butterfly... but it didn't look right. So I went with a few strips of cardstock/washi tape and fussy cut the butterfly... added some confetti... and WOW! This is a beautiful card!!! 
That's it for me today.

2026: 2 Challenges - 1 Card + A How-To [Card #102]

Hello, sweet friends! 
I'm back to share a card that I created for 2 different challenges- the Pink & Main Monthly challenge (cute critters) and the Simon Says Stamp IG challenge (things with wings). Plus, I'm sharing an EASY how-to for foiling specific details or images with the NEW P&M Foil It! Paint & Splatter product! 
The NEW P&M Foil It! Paint & Splatter is a great product to use to create a custom foiled design (I've used it on two other cards HERE). 
 
Here is how you use it: 

  1. Use a thin, small brush to apply the liquid to your project/image-- I make sure there is a small glob for great results! **You can see in the photo below that I applied a tiny amount to the strawberry seeds! 
  2. Let dry!!! This is important! Allow this liquid to dry completely or your foiled design will smear and run, causing the foil to go to places you didn't want it to be! 
  3. Apply foil (apply small pressure or rub to make sure it sticks to the liquid) and run through your P&M Mini Minc machine

EASY! And look at the results!!! It's so fun to use! 

That's it for me today.

2026: Things With Wings Challenge Card- HELLO [Card101]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
I had a bit of free time (GASP!!!) and decided to play in the studio yesterday! 

I decided to pull out a few supplies: quilted patterned papers (I think it looks like the flying geese pattern but I could be wrong!), sewing themed dies, and butterflies. With all of these mixed and matched goodies, I created this fun friendship card.
It's perfect for the Simon Says Stamp IG Challenge! I hope one day to join in the fun with their Wednesday challenge too:) 

That's it for me today.

2026: Simple Stripes with TapeRunner Adhesive

Hello again, sweet friends! 
Today I am sharing a quick way to add colorful stripes to a negative image or panel. 
 
This card was created for my sweet friend and Finn's best friend's mom- she lost Tiberius a few weeks ago. The colorful stripes remind me of Tiberius' winter coat- he had a winter jacket that was dark blue with a hint of orange and white. He was sooooooooooooo cute! 
Here's a photo of Finn and Tiberius (without his coat) walking together. I love that Tiberius was so small and friends with Finn! 
 
Making this striped background is super EASY! The key to keeping the strips of cardstock in place is using a great adhesive like TapeRunner! I use this for ALL of my striped cardstock backgrounds!

Here are some quick steps to make your own striped background: 
Gather your supplies- I'm using TapeRunner adhesive with Pink & Main Pet Angels stamps and Paw Print dies, as well as a retired die set from Paper Smooches to create the vellum dog image.
 
You can see I already have my colored cardstock cut into strips and used washi tape to hold the strips together in the order I would like them on my cardbase. 
Next I drew a rough image of where the negative image panel would be placed on my cardbase. Then I added some TapeRunner adhesive to this exact location. After applying adhesive to the rough location of this image, I added one more layer of adhesive about an inch around this spot- just so I knew that I had enough adhesive for the image and strips of cardstock. **It's never bad to use too much adhesive :)  
I also added adhesive to the negative image panel back- this will help the strips and cardbase stick together. 
To finish the card, I just sandwiched the cardbase with the strips of cardstock to the negative image panel. EASY! 
 
I love how easy it is to use the TapeRunner adhesive! I also love how strong this adhesive is- I think I might have to use this striped background for MORE negative image paneled cards :)  
🤑Don't forget to use code SAVANNAH10 for 10% off your purchase at TapeRunner! 

That's it for me today.

2026: Another Pet Sympathy Card

Hello again, sweet friends! 
I've had to make an unusual amount of sympathy cards this year and specifically pet sympathy cards 😢

I mixed and matched so many products for this card because I wanted to make the prettiest rainbow bridge I could. I looooooooooooove that vellum die cut pup. It's the sweetest touch to this card. 
That's it for me today. I had to make another pet sypmathy card and will share that tomorrow! And I just found out my brother's 14 year old dog passed this week. So be on the lookout for all of these cards 👀
