2026: A Special Sympathy Card

Hello again, sweet friends! 
Another sympathy card... but this time it was for a dear friend that passed away a month ago. Today is his birthday and his memorial. 

Jabin was a great friend- kind to everyone, generous as well! He was quiet but wise! He had integrity and it showed! He was also our guitar/bass player on our worship team. 

When I found out that he had passed, I knew I needed to make a card with a guitar. I think this card design is PERFECT for him <3   

That's it for me today.

2026: Love From Lizi Secret Garden [Card #245]

Hello, friends! 
I am thrilled to join in the celebration with Love From Lizi and her 10th anniversary🎉🎉🎉
 
I received the Secret Garden kit, which has SOOOOOOOOOOO many charms, gems, stickers, papers, ribbons, and MORE! 
I decided to create a quick start-to-finish video on IG {HERE} sharing my first card using this kit. I mixed several patterned papers and a few ribbons together to make the background. I also die cut a sentiment and added a charm. TIP: after a #happyaccident I pulled a thread from the burlap to create a small bow to go behind the charm! I was actually pretty upset that my card almost got ruined but then I realized I could take apart the burlap threads and the idea hit me! I love it!   

I used my TapeRunner adhesive to attach the papers AND the ribbon! YES--- TapeRunner adhesive is STRONG enough to hold the ribbons down! **Don't forget to SAVE 10% using code SAVANNAH10 at TapeRunner.com!!!

2026: TapeRunner for the WIN- multiple cardbases

Hello again, sweet friends! 
This is the FIRST project I created after I started to feel better:) Praise the Lord I'm feeling somewhat better 🙌🏻
 
I decided it was time to create LOADS of birthday card bases for future cards! I used up an entire TapeRunner mini adhesive and some of my pink adhesive just to make these cardbases. LOL! 
Even though I know the TR adhesive is STRONG and I don't need to use a lot... I still added adhesive to the top, bottom, both sides, and a small amount in the center. This is how I add my cardbases to ALL of my cards! 
I love that I have a rainbow of cardbases to pick from for my next birthday design! I also love that I have 22 cards started! This will be VERY helpful as I get back into the swing of things:)   

That's it for me today.

2026: A Mix-Match Card for FUN [made right before I was ill]

Hello, sweet friends! 
I haven't been in the studio since August 25th... that upper respiratory infection left me with a fever for two weeks and reoccurring gut issue due to the medicine! I also was continuing to deal with my migraine from the first three weeks of August 😵‍💫 OY! Although I want to be crafty, it has been hard getting back into the studio! 
 
This is actually the LAST card I created before I got ill! I mixed and matched some of my goodies to make a fun birthday card. I'm loving how this turned out... but I wish I would have added just one MORE daisy flower! LOL 

That's it for me today.

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

Hello again, sweet friends! We are celebrating Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember with a fun PARTY today! **Be sure to stop by the SSS blog HERE for all the details and party list!!!
***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🙃

Hello again, sweet friends! 
I'm excited to share this REALLY quick video/reel sharing how I made this fall birthday card using TapeRunner adhesive and Birch Press Design stamps/dies! 
When I saw the Memory Box cardstock colors, I knew I wanted to make a fall rainbow of leaves! 
 
The Birch Press Design Fall Leaves die set comes with about five different leaf designs--- so technically you could make each leaf different or you could make five different leaf rainbows! How fun!
I hope you are inspired by this fall rainbow birthday card- let me know if you make one or make something inspired by my creation! I'd love to stop by and check it out!!!

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.
