When I saw the Memory Box cardstock colors, I knew I wanted to make a fall rainbow of leaves! 

 

The Birch Press Designs 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: 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: Playing with Scraps... and Twofer Cards

Hello, sweet friends! 

I was playing around the other day with inking backgrounds. I went with a different color palette- greens, yellows, orange, red, and dark blue. I was thinking "masculine" ?!?! It wasn't my favorite color combo... but I kept going! 

 

I also did different ink blends- linear and blotches. Again... I wasn't a fan but kept going! 

 

After I die cut the sentiment (crooked)... I DEFINITELY didn't like what I was making 🤣 but... I kept going!   

 

I ended up using a few Pink & Main birthday stamps/sentiments... and you know what???? I LOOOOOOOOVE these! 

 

Are they perfect? Nope! Can you see my mistakes? Nope! And does the color combo work now??? Possibly! LOL! 

 

And since I don't throw anything away, EVER--- I decided to make a few cards using the scraps from the sentiment die cut. These are very simple and the image is colored exactly like the other one. EASY! And a #twofer!!!   

I can't decide if I like the inked background or the background scraps MORE! LOL Both sets of cards make me happy and will help me fill up my masculine birthday card stash:)   

That's it for me today.

2026: Shell-ebrating My Friend's Birthday [Card #159]

Hello, friends! 

It is my friend's birthday TODAY. Unfortunately, she works way too hard, and I was ill... so we missed each other and can't celebrate her special day until this weekend. Shell-ebrate YOU, Julie! Happy birthday 🎉  

A little background for this card- I was inspired by a card design using some Hero Arts mermaid/crab image and card. I loved the pink background and blue sea so I used that as my base. I had this mermaid image for awhile and decided to color it up. Coloring people/skin/hair.... NOT my favorite! I'm still a newbie! But I think it turned out ok-- hopefully Julie likes it too!!! LOL :) #SavannahLearnsToColor 🖍️ 

 

That's it for me today.

2026: TapeRunner With Pink & Main Foil [Card #142]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

#SAVfact (I think this is true... I will have to keep an eye on this to make sure! LOL!): I believe I match my TapeRunner adhesive to my projects😂

Here's a TapeRunner adhesive fact: this adhesive holds strong with just about ANY paper or cardstock! I've used all the different TapeRunner adhesive on the following: 

• regular paper
• regular cardstock
• patterned paper
• embossed paper
• EVO synthetic paper
• vellum
• tissue paper
• and NOW.... foiled paper

I love my TapeRunner adhesive! I use it on ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL of my projects! And I'm not worried about it failing to hold strong!!! What I am worried about is that I need to get more because I'm running out- I have FOMO on my FAV adhesive! LOL!

Back to my project... This card was super easy to make! Follow these EASY steps to recreate this card: 

1. Use Pink & Main Mini Minc and cheerfoil to create background- my FAV backgrounds are the Prism designs!  
2. Use TR adhesive to attach foiled background to cardbase
3. Stamp sentiment on strip of paper and attach to cardbase on the diagonal using TR adhesive 
4. Stamp and color images, add glitter for extra glam
5. Add TR adhesive to the center of the images and attach to cardbase; *optional- add a foam dot to each side of dragonfly wings to make it pop 
6. Finish with a few embellishments

You can see the dimension I created by adhering the CENTER of the bodies using TR adhesive and then adding a foam dot for extra height! 

EASY!

**Don't forget to SAVE by entering SAVANNAH10 at checkout on TaperRunner.com🤑 

 

That's it for me today. I hope that you will try some TR adhesive on ALL of your projects and on EVERY paper that you own! Let me know how strong the hold is- I know you won't be disappointed!

2026: TapeRunner One Layer Birthday Card [Card #128]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

Today I'm sharing a ONE layer card that I created for a friend's birthday. 

 

Now--- one layer cards should be easy to make: cut paper, add to cardbase, done. And there is nothing wrong with that... but I like to add a bit more! I wanted to ink the background but leave the image alone so I could color it... and then I wanted to add a bit of glitter... and I needed a sentiment... THEN I could add this panel to the cardbase 😂  

Here are a few steps that I did to create this card: 

I probably spent 30 mins trying to figure out what colors I wanted to use for the base... and in the end, I didn't use two of the colors and cut off one more so the base would fit the card size! LOL! 

I masked the image so I could create a blended background... what I didn't realize was that there would be a white outline around my image because the die cut is a tad bit bigger than the image itself 🤦🏼‍♀️ I was shocked and wondered what I would do to fix this... but in the end... I really liked how this turned out:) 

This is the final step of creating this one layer card- stamping the sentiment and adding it to my cardbase using TapeRunner adhesive. Now that was EASY! 

This card was kind of easy to make but super scary too because I don't normally do cards like this! 

Scary because one coloring or ink blending mistake and I'd have to start over! 

Scary because I didn't know (or realize) my mask would leave a white border! 

EASY because I can trust my TapeRunner adhesive to stick strong and make this card last!!!

2026: Playing in the Studio

Hello again, sweet friends! 

Do you ever just play around in your craft studio? 

 

Playing around and mixing and matching alllllll kind of companies/supplies is one of my FAVORITE things to do!

 

Why? Because I am free to just create. 

Because I don't have an agenda or project deadline. 

Because I can play with color stories. 

Because I can use supplies that I bought YEARS ago that I never had time for before! LOL!   

You can read MORE about this card on my IG page HERE! 

 

That's it for me today. I hope that you will play in your studio today- be sure to share with me so I can leave some love for you!!!

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.

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: Trav's 46th birthday- MORE greens and irons

Hello again, sweet friends! 

We celebrated Trav's 46th birthday last week and this was his card that I created. 

I wanted a CAS card... but one that had a whole bunch of greens on it. I also wanted a sentiment that was true for his age but also for golf. 

I think this turned out AWESOME! Trav even pointed out that there are 18 greens on the card (if you count even the little slivers at the top! LOL! I must know what I am doing when it comes to golf! LOL!). 

 

That's it for me today.

2026: Fun Birthday Card [card #023-024]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

Check out this super cute birthday card!!!

If you know me, then you know that I use that birthday background stamp A LOT! I also have a bin specifically for birthday designs- it is FILLED with Pink & Main stamps/dies/stencils!

I love how this card turned out! 

I did take a separate photo with a different photo background- Trav created this wood floor background for my masculine cards. I am not sure how to take photos with it yet as it makes the photos a bit too "bright". LOL! I will work on that:) 

 

That's it for me today.

2025: Belated Birthday Card [card #302]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

As I've said before... I am always late when sending cards out! LOL This time I have a really good excuse though😂

Q: What do you do when you are EXTREMELY late sending a birthday card? 

A: You make it SHINE!!!!!!!!

And that's what I did for this birthday card for Michelle, the owner of Pink & Main! I added foil using the regular techniques with the Mini Minc machine, as well as highlight foiling (see center panel), and painting reactive mist to images to get even MORE shine! 

I know I am really late (like 35 days late)... but... 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Michelle! 

That's it for me today.
