2026: TapeRunner Matching Spring Card [card #059]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

Do you remember THIS post where I shared a tutorial on how to make a spring treat bag? 

 

Well... I stated that I wanted to make a matching card... and I did:) 

I wanted to use the SAME supplies [listed below], including my TapeRunner pink adhesive and these spring papers. Now if know me, then you know I hardly ever do a shaped card. However, the spring flower wreath on the patterned paper inspired me to make a CIRCLE card! 

 

I love how this little shaped card turned out, and I think it will be a small giveaway at my Craft Night! One of the participants (maybe the one that finishes their project LAST--- I could've picked "first"... but I like last place!) will receive this little card as a gift. I'll keep you posted on who wins! LOL

That's it for me today.

THANKS so much for stopping by! MORE to come 💌

Be blessed ❤️

Paper Smooches SPARKS: June Picture Perfect challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! This week is a Picture Perfect challenge.  

This week we are inspired by the following picture:

Picture: Credit

I think that there are lots of different things you could be inspired by from this photo. I went with the house theme (even though this is a child's bed... it looks like a house).

I created a super pretty friendship card using the Paper Smooches Bitty Bungalows stamps and matching dies. I used some new-to-me My Mind's Eye papers and pulled out my favorite Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko inks to finish this card. Simple but with lots of detail! LOVE it! 

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs and leave them some love.

Chickaniddy Crafts- Sketch "change it"

Hello, friends:)


I'm joining in the fun with the Chickaniddy sketch challenge.  

If you follow me-- then you know that my favorite thing to do for "sketch challenges" is to CHANGE IT! And that's what I've done for my card today. I think I followed the sketch about 50%!! Here's a photo of how I changed the sketch. 

I also mixed and matched the Chickaniddy Date Night and Twirly Girly collections.

Chickaniddy Supplies: This and That (TG14OS07), Plaid is Rad (DN14OS12), Cutest Couple (DN14OS05); Stamps Date Night (DN14ST01); Stickers Date Night (DN14EB05, DN14EB03, DN14EB02), Twirly Girl (TG14EB05); Brads Date Night (DN14EB06); Tsukineko VersaMark ink; Imagine Crafts Silver embossing powder; Paper Smooches Toppers dies

I really love this card! And I LOVE that silver embossing as the "stamp" on the postcard paper! I also love all the stickers and embellishments with the stitched banners! LOVE x10000! I hope Trav doesn't look at this post-- this card is for HIM:) 

I hope that you will try and change the May Chickaniddy sketch for your next creation!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be blessed:)

Chickaniddy- Date Night card

Hello, friends:)

I'm sooooooo thrilled to share my first Chickaniddy project with you today! I'm a huge fan of the Date Night collection! I loooooove the patterned papers, the colors, the little enamel hearts... and I LOVE the silver foil paper! SWOON:) 

As I looked through my Date Night papers and embellishments, I found a journal tag that had a guitar on it. I knew instantly that I wanted to create a card for my husband using this tag- it's perfect since we are musicians! This card came together quickly after I found my inspiration.

Chickaniddy Supplies: Paper Awesome Blossom (DN140S01), Cutest Couple (DN140S05); Journal Tag Cutest Couple (DN140S05); Stamps Date Night (DN14ST01); Stickers Date Night (DN14EB05); Brads Date Night (DN14EB06); Enamel Hearts Date Night (DN14EB07)

I really enjoy mixing patterns and papers, and one of my favorite techniques for stamping includes "masking". I used this technique to make this horizontal sentiment into a vertical design! I love how this turned out! 

1. Cut patterned papers and attach to card base.

2. Cut (fussy cut) journal card and attach to card.
3. Mask sentiment using blue painters tape/washi tape. Stamp each word individually and vertically next to journaling card.
4. Add stickers, banner, brads, and enamel hearts. 
5. Complete card with a couple of mini staples.

This was a simple yet detailed card-- perfect for my husband! I love this new collection from Chickaniddy! I'm looking forward to sharing more creations using the Date Night collection! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be blessed:)

Paper Smooches Sparks Feb. Anything Goes (wk1) challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! Another Anything Goes challenge starts today!   

That's right--you get to create ANYTHING you want (as long as you use Paper Smooches stamps)!! This is the BEST challenge ever!!! 

I actually have five cards to share with you... but you have to wait to see the other 4 later:) 

This card was probably one of the fastest cards I've ever created! I bet it was completed in less than an hour! That's a record for me:) ***NOTE: I usually take 2 or 3 hours to finish my creations! LOL! 

I pulled out my old Studio Calico Abroad papers for this creation and paired it with my Paper Smooches Sweet Hearts stamp set for the XO frame (stamped in Tsukineko Delicata Silver Shimmer ink- LOVE!!)! I also die cut some hearts using the new PS Hearts dies, and then finished my focus panel with a die cut sentiment from the Quote Tags set. LOVE x1000000!

Sorry about the photo- you really can't see how cute it is! I took this photo around 11pm- it was tooooooo dark out:) 

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs and leave them some love.

For my video today, I share how to make a fun and trendy Martini glass interactive gift card holder using the Paper Smooches Drink Glasses dies!
