2026: A SPECIAL Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Card [Card #232]

***Here is an exclusive STAMPtember promotion just for YOU!!!! This is a free gift with your order---> be sure to stop by all the blogs and IG accounts to find even MORE promotions, free gifts, and deals!!!! 
 
Today's card is a special one that I made just for Heidi- it is her birthday TOMORROW!!! She always sends me a birthday card so I wanted to use the NEW STAMPtember Flying Butterfly Collage die set S1223 to make a fun shaker birthday card for her. 
I realllllllllllllly wanted to make the background an ombre yellow design because in July (possibly June) Heidi had on a yellow shirt for her YT Livestream and she looked GORGEOUS!!!!!!! But then I fell in love with this green-blue hue watercolor design... maybe next year I will make something with yellow 💛 I added little butterfly confetti and matching green-blue confetti as well. I just looooooooooove how this turned out! 
Don't forget the following details for STAMPtember:

OH! I should probably mention that Heidi won't get this card until mid-September... 
not because it wasn't made on time... 
not because I'm lazy... 
not because I'm a procrastinator or procraftinator as they say in the crafty world... 
but because I've been ill with a NASTY case of bronchitis (daily fevers, coughing like crazy, swollen throat, etc) for over a week🤒 We are monitoring my health to make sure it doesn't turn into pneumonia. 
 
I really wanted to send this card so that Heidi would get it right before her birthday... but then I got ill and thought it would be best to NOT share my germs. Hopefully Heidi doesn't mind celebrating again later this month🙃 

THANKS so much for stopping by! MORE to come 💌

Be blessed ❤️

2026: Another Sympathy Card [Card #216-217]

Hello, sweet friends! 
I'm beyond sad that I have to make yet another sympathy card 😞 

This card was created by painting a section of paper using a mixture of ink refills and water. I stamped some texts and then stamped/colored (using alcohol inks and oil colored pencils)/die cut the flowers. I also stamped and embossed the sentiment and added gems/thread to finish. 

This is a simple design but hopefully it will bring comfort during this difficult time. 
That's it for me today. Unfortunately, we just found out a sweet, dear friend of ours just passed away, leaving a wife and two kids. He was only 46. I will be making yet another sympathy card soon 😞

2026: Mom's Birthday Card [Card #211]

Hello, sweet friends, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my MOM!!!!! 
My mom's birthday was actually Monday this week... but I couldn't post this until I knew for sure she had received this card! 
This is actually the third [or actually the fourth card] I started for Mom's card design. I had sooooooooooo many ideas and none were working. I wanted this birthday card to be PERFECT! My Mom loves flowers... and yellow... and I think I finally found the design that works best using these supplies [which I mix-matched!]!!! What do you think? Is this PERFECT for my Mom? 
That's it for me today.

2026: Another Special Birthday Card [Card #214]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
I've got another special birthday card to share today--- this one is for Trav's StepMom, Bernice! 

I wanted to create a fun pup themed card because she loves Finn so much, and she has her own two pups too! I wish the pup image matched her puppies more... or Finn more... but I think she will still love the design and get that I tried:) 

That's it for me today.

2026: Pink & Main Monthly Challenge [Card #210]

Hello, friends! 
I'm joining in the FUN with the Pink & Main Monthly challenge. We were challenged to create something SHINY 🤩 

Well... if you know me... then shiny = FOILING! So I pulled out some P&M foiling goodies and created this card.   
EVERYTHING on this card is foiled- the background panel, the flower panel, the flowers, and the sentiment. The only thing I didn't foil and colored was the light green background behind the flower images. 
 
If you look closely, I layered the flowers... #secret: I messed up and my custom cheerfoil cuts moved so I had to redo the flowers:) LOL I think it turned out great in the end! 
 
I looooooooooooove the colors and this design! And it's sooooooooooooo shiny in person- be sure to stop by my IG for a quick reel of how this shines in the light (I'll be posting it later today!)!!!! 
 
That's it for me today. I hope you will join in the fun with the P&M Monthly challenge!!!

2026: A Custom Card for Trav's Co-Worker [Card #213]

Hello, everyone! 
Trav came home the other day and said that one of his techs was leaving this week to move onto dental school. I knew immediately that she needed a custom card! 
You can't see it... but there is some SHINE on this card! I used all Paper Smooches stamps/dies with my Pink & Main Mini Minc machine, Cheerfoil, and Twinkle inks (which is where all the SHINE comes from!)!!! 

I love how this turned out. Trav was pretty impressed as well! And I think his tech liked it too! WIN WIN WIN!

That's it for me today.

2026: A CAS Holiday Card [Card #191]

Hello, sweet friends! 
I made this CAS holiday card in July... but didn't get a chance to post it! I'm only ONE day late... so I guess we will still count it:) 
 
I will be honest--- this card design was supposed to be EASY, CAS.... but adding those little branches on the back of the white tree was a bit of a pain! And then I stamped the sentiment in a lighter green ink... oy! What a mess. 

Overall, I like how it looks. It will work. I highly doubt the person receiving this will know the trouble that went into making this card or see the mismatched greens... they probably will throw it away after the holidays anyway🤦🏼‍♀️ 

That's it for me today.

2026: TapeRunner For The Win

Hello, friends! 

***If you use tape adhesive and haven't shopped at TapeRunner.com... GET OVER THERE NOW! 
 
I just put in a LARGE order for MORE TapeRunner adhesive because it's my FAVORITE:) Easy to use, long lasting, and great quality! 
 
I use my TR adhesives on ALL of my cardbases since I always add a panel to my base. I also use it for all flat services like layered panels or CAS or one layer card designs. I've also used TR adhesives on embossed cardstock and glossy papers. I have used it for patterned papers and for transparency papers. I looooooooooove my TR adhesives 😍

I love saving money 🤑 so be sure to use code SAVANNAH10 for 10% off your purchase! 

Today I'm sharing a few cards that I created using different TapeRunner adhesives... although the adhesives are all the same quality and design... just different colored containers:) 
I know I've said it before, but I looooooove matching my TR adhesives to my project:) 
I might not be part of the HOA board anymore... but I'm still part of the Welcoming Committee:) We've had MORE new neighbors to welcome! 
This card was inspired by the card above- only this time I used only blue inks:)  

That's it for me today.

THANKS so much for stopping by! MORE to come 💌

Be blessed ❤️
