2026: YourPaperInsider Wedding Card [Card #097]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
To be honest, I struggle with creating cards for my friends and family... I just want everything to look perfect and be different than anything I've ever made before. That's hard when I've made around 350 cards yearly for over 10 years🤣
 
This card is for a special friend of mine that is getting married in May. Because I'm mentoring her and sharing everything I wish I had known before getting married, as well as what I've learned since being married and over the last 20 years.... I wanted this card to be EXTRA special! 
 
That's why I pulled out my YourPaperInsider Box 14 papers (listed below). There were four blue papers that matched my friend's wedding colors PERFECTLY! I love that metallic blue and the layered soft blues on the wedding dress! 
 
The embossed flower image on the background paper is my FAVORITE- that Pink & Main Naval Officer embossing powder matched PERFECTLY!  

I think all the stress and pressure I put on myself to make a PERFECT card was unnecessary because the papers and craft supplies made this card turn out PERFECT🙃
 
That's it for me today.

2026: Watercolor + TapeRunner + MORE Sympathy Cards

Hello again, sweet friends! 
I'm back to share MORE creations... unfortunately, I needed to make MORE sympathy cards (again). 
 
I wanted to try something new for these designs. I was inspired by a craft that my Mom, older brother, and his family helped me create during their spring break (MORE on that soon👀)- watercoloring! 
 
I watercolored some background pieces and used them behind some die cut cover pieces. What really surprised me is that the TapeRunner adhesive was strong enough to hold the watercolor paper to the cardbase. If you have worked with watercolors before, then you know it warps the paper/etc. But all of the TapeRunner adhesive did it's job and held strong!!!!  

I used the TR pink adhesive on the first card, and the TR retractable adhesive on the second set. I used adhesive on the cardbase, watercolor panel, and die cut cover panel! I'm really loving that retractable adhesive- it's so easy to use! Just click and adhere! 

I loooooooooooove how these turned out. I pray that they bring comfort and peace to our friends during this difficult time ❤️

That's it for me today.

2026: How Many TapeRunner Adhesives Have I used in 2026?

In my Easter basket, I hope I get all of these TapeRunner adhesives! 
 
This photo shows just how much I love my TR adhesives- these adhesive cartridges are EMPTY (just like Christ's tomb!!! Perfect for Easter! LOL!)!!! I use TR adhesives on EVERY project!!! So far I have created 93 cards--- I'd say that this amount of adhesive is a good amount for that many cards😉

2026: Custom Birthday Card [card #76]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
I was recently asked to make a custom birthday card for my neighbor's son. She gave a few things that might inspire me: a sport's team/colors, blue crabs, boating, green/blue, and fishing. 
 
After discussing with her my ideas and what I could do using my supplies... we landed on a fishing theme. She then sent me a photo of her son fishing (one where he had just caught a catfish), and I knew we chose the right theme!
The best part about this card is that my mom helped me create it! This card was due while she was visiting so I pulled her into my studio to help get inky, die cut, and kind of be my sous chef/crafter! Hopefully she had fun making this with me;)  

That's it for me today.

2026: Pink & Main Foilable Panels + Alcohol Inks [card #074]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
This card was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO easy to make especially when using the Pink & Main Foilable Panels and Cheerfoil! 

Here's how I made it: 
  1. Foil the P&M Raindrops Foiloable Panels with White Cheerfoil
  2. Use alcohol inks to create "rainbow" or colored background
  3. After inks dry a bit (maybe 5 mins), wipe background with towel to reveal white rain drops
  4. Finish card with sentiment and colored image

EASY! That's what I like:)  

That's it for me today.

2026: MORE Sympathy Cards

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I'm back with MORE sympathy cards- I had the watercolor papers on my desk... and I thought I might as well use the scraps to make even MORE sympathy cards. I have been using a lot of these cards lately☹️
I made a few more that had very similar backgrounds and colors. I just love this color combo! LOVE LOVE LOVE! 
I just love the soft watercolor background with the vellum and colored cardstock foilage- this is probably the MOST color I've used on a sympathy card. I might have to start using MORE color:) 
 
That's it for me today.

2026: TapeRunner + YourPaperInsider Box 14 Purple Sympathy Cards [card #079-082]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
I've been MIA because I spent a week with my family here in SC while they were on Spring Break- it was so much fun! I can't wait for them to come back and visit again! **You will see a few photos of my family while they were here SOON- they helped me finish a project:) 

I was able to get into the studio again today, but unfortunately, I needed to make three sympathy cards😭 I do not like making these cards- it breaks my heart! But I'm hoping that these cards bring comfort and peace as they remember their loved one ❤️
 
I used some of the purple cardstock from the YourPaperInsider Box 14 papers- they added just the right amount of purple with this watercolor patterned paper design! I love that velum- it's so soft and yet deep with the purple hue! *See supply list below for specific papers used! 
 
I also used my FAVORITE TapeRunner adhesive- I loooooooooooooove my TR adhesive! It's so smooth, easy to apply, and can be used on almost any piece of your card [see THIS post on how I add adhesive from a TapeRunner to a SMALL die cut letter]. 
These cards look simple but have layers and dimension because of the YPI papers and using the TR adhesive for all layers!  
 
That's it for me today. Unfortunately, I think I need to make MORE sympathy cards so I can stock up my stash... be on the lookout for MORE designs soon 👀

2026: TapeRunner Retractable Adhesive + Foiled Birthday Card [card #075]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
 
💸 Don't forget to use code SAVANNAH10 for 10% off at TapeRunner!!!!!
This SHINY birthday card was SOOOOOOOOOOOO easy to make! But, first, let me share the backstory... 
 
Backstory: The other day I stayed with my friend's mom for some time so that she could run some errands. My friend requested that I bring over some cardmaking supplies so she and her mom could make a birthday card for her brother. Since they were new to cardmaking, I brought my Pink & Main foiling supplies- foiling is the EASIEST way to make cards:) Well, my friend, Renee, made a card... and of course I didn't throw away ANY of the scraps because I wanted to use them to make a similar birthday card. And that's how I came up with this card design- from scraps;)  
 
Here's a photo of my friend Renee with her card. It's CAS and perfect! **And doesn't her NEW hair style look gooooood!!?! 
**Be sure to stop by my IG feed and stories later today/tomorrow to see a quick video of Renee's Mom, Betty, doing a reveal of another foiled image!
 
Here's a quick tutorial on how I made my card using TapeRunner retractable adhesive: 
**I'm an OVERadhesive-er!!! And it's easy with this TR retractable adhesive because it glides sooooooooo smooth! 
It's that easy- 6 steps to make a SHINY birthday card! I love it! And I looooooooooooooove using scraps on my cards!!! 
That's it for me today. I'll be sharing MORE on my IG feed so be sure to stop by there!!!

2026: Pink & Main March 2026 release

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I'm sharing the NEWEST Pink & Main goodies today---it's all about BIRTHDAY celebrations (and a few other things 😉)
I've got a tutorial showing how I used this TapeRunner adhesive to create those glittered bunnies! You won't believe how easy it was to do it! ***Be on the lookout for this tutorial on IG/FB and HERE👀
This rainbow background was created using a foilable panel and the NEW P&M Twinkle Inks! Here's how I made this background: 
  1. Foil the background panel with Black cheerfoil
  2. Cut the background into six different pieces
  3.  Use Twinkle Inks to color each piece
  4. Adhere back together  
EASY!
Check out the SHINE on this card! I loooooooooove the CAS design but the POW of the multiple foils! So fun! 
These gummy bears are a colored foilable panel, and I used the P&M Opal Transparency cheerfoil on them to make them into SOUR GUMMIES!!!! Well... I didn't think of that- Trav did! LOL! I put them in the Fish Bag die to make it look like they are in a baggie. I love how this card turned out:) 
MORE purple! I love the colored background with that P&M foiled gummy bear panel! Simple but FABULOUS! 
This card was not the original idea- you will have to check out my IG Stories for that photo! LOL! I love how it turned out though! 
 
I wish you could see the shimmer of the ETC. Paper EVO papers with the P&M Magical glitter! This card looks CAS but it packs the WOWZA!!!!  
 
I looooooooooooove this release because it's so fun! I have even MORE ideas that I need to create before the months up! LOL

That's it for me today.
