2026: Get Well and REST [Card #164]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
 
I didn't make this card because I am ill/sick... I did it for this guy! 
This is my younger brother, Carrel (pronounced Carl). He thought it would be fun to try to "one-up" my health issues by breaking his right foot! I can't figure out who has it worse- him or me! LOL! I wish he lived closer as I would have gladly have given him my knee scooter (I think I've had three in the last 10 years)! 
 
I couldn't pass up this opportunity to send a card to Carrel to help encourage him to REST and heal!!!! He doesn't do well at sitting and resting so he needed this card! 
And because he has a pink cast (he did that for his daughter, Alli) I *had* to create a pink cast on this little bunny's leg. If I had a small knee scooter image, I would have used that other than crutches! LOL!   
 
Oh--- and my older brother, Leander, has been hurt in the last week too! Apparently he didn't want to be left out of the loop! He injured his ribs. I know what that is like too! OY! We are quite the threesome🤕 


That's it for me today.

2024: August Birthday card using Spellbinders' Florals Through the Year collection [card #305]

Hello, sweet friends! 
I'm back with sharing my absolute FAVORITE Spellbinders Florals Through the Year collection creation-- it's another birthday card but with lots of dimension since I fussy cut that poppy flower out multiple times!!! Be sure to check out my other ideas for these BP plates and collection HERE!!! 
This card is my favorite because: 
  • I used my birth flower Press Plates
  • The colors are super pretty together
  • I used my FAVORITE technique- fussy cutting
Here's how I got to the dimension for this card... I pressed this image multiple times on the cardbase, and it didn't look good! LOL! My greens and reds were mixing too much. So I pressed the image again to fussy cut and add as layers. The PERFECT fix! 

I also added a bit of black accent dots to the center of each poppy to make it have more oomph... I think it was the PERFECT touch!!!

See why this is my favorite??? I love it for all of these reasons and because I was able to save it from all my mistakes:) 

That's it for me today. Be sure to stop by the Spellbinders' blog and website for their AWESOME sales!!!

2024: November Birthday card using Spellbinders' Florals Through the Year collection [card #304]

Hello, sweet friends! 
I'm back with sharing another Spellbinders Florals Through the Year collection creation-- this time I went with a birthday card design! Be sure to check out my other ideas for these BP plates and collection HERE!!! 
My second card I tried something different... I wanted to make a ONE LAYER card. I've created one layer cards before... BUT they never turn out how I want them to! LOL! I just don't do well with one layer... however, I think this card turned out 85% awesome (more on this later)! 

What I'm proud of with this card is that oval inked background!!! I didn't have any SB oval die cut images... so I made my own using the Make A Wish Arch Labels dies. All I did was partially die cut the arch, flipped it, and partially die cut it again to match where I had already die cut. So easy! And I think that inked oval background really makes this one layer card pop!!

Now here's where I messed up: I struggled with my ink blending because I thought there was one spot that needed a bit more aqua green ink... so AFTER I took off the flower mask... I inked the "white spot"... only to muddy the pink flower 🤦🏼‍♀️ I added some sequins to cover it up so it all worked out! LOL! **supplies listed below

I have one more project to share, and it's my FAVORITE!!! Be sure to come back for MORE!!!

2024: March card using Spellbinders' Florals Through the Year collection [card #302-303]

Hello, sweet friends! 
I'm super excited to join Spellbinders and their release of the Florals Through the Year collection--- there are soooooooo many things you can do with this set: 
  • Yearly calendar 
  • Birthday cards
  • Sympathy cards
  • Anniversary cards
  • Thinking of you cards
  • and MORE!!!!
And the great thing about these BetterPress plates is that you can make one layer cards by inking or add dimension by fussy cutting the image out!!! 

Plus--- there's more!! This collection released an easel die that you can use for your yearly calendar... taking photos of your creations... or holding your phone!!! What an awesome release! 

For my first project, I wanted to create something different... sure I could make a calendar or birthday card... but I wanted to make something that I could use for just about anything during the month of March. This card is perfect for encouragement, a quick hello, or thinking of you, and it's perfect for ANYONE! 

I pressed the image with multiple colors on watercolor paper and then added it to a die cut Kraft cardbase. I added some string and sequins to finish this simple design. PERFECT! **supplies listed below
I have two more projects to share!!! Be sure to come back for MORE!!!

That's it for me today. Be sure to stop by the Spellbinders' blog and website for their AWESOME sales!!!
