Joyful Day!

Hello and how are you? It’s super busy around here, planning a graduation party for our son! We are so proud of him! So Happy to squeeze in a little creative time yesterday, here’s a card I made for someone special, I used PTI’s Into the Blooms: Pansies, such a beautiful set to work with! My dots are stamped from Prominent Petals! That sweet sentiment is from Inside Greetings: Happy Hello. This is my entry for Papertrey Ink’s Challenge to create a card using a pattern stamp. I wish you a lovely weekend!

Birthday Joy gift bag!

Here’s a little birthday gift bag I made for someone special. I embellished my handmade gift bag with a Bloom from Into the Blooms, and my tag is a Love to layer: Notched diecut, holding some PTI birthday word dies on some of my very favorite paper! These are so fun, I think I’m going to be making a lot of these! This is also my entry for Papertrey Ink’s Challenge to Use my own stamps and dies to accent a gift bag. Happy Thursday everyone!

Happy Thoughts Seed Packet Card!

Hello! How are you? Here’s a card I made for a friend, it’s a simulated seed packet using @Papertrey Ink’s Stitched Rectangle Dies. These are so fun to stitch up! My pitcher of flowers & blooms is from Abundant Blooms, and my sentiment is from Just Sentiments: Spring Blessings. I hope you’re having a great day!

Kindness blooms! I’m getting ready to pop this email this morning, I stitched up this simulated seed packet and filled it with one of my handmade seed paper bookmarks! My sentiment is from You Deserve Flowers. I used the lovely Dahlia stencils on this. Have a blessed day!

PLANTED!

Have you seen Papertrey Ink’s new In Stitches: Seed Packet Die?!! It’s ADORABLE! While I wait for mine to arrive, I got busy making some of these simulated seed packets using my Stitched Rectangle Dies and an Into the Blooms flower, along with a little watering can & sentiment from Seeds of Knowledge. The 25 cent stamp is from With Love Mini! These are great to stitch up while waiting for a pot to boil for supper or when you’re on the phone or watching a tv show! Watch my blog later this week as I plan to have something SUPER fun to add to these!

Congratulations graduate!

Hello! How are you? It has been super busy at our house, and our daughter just graduated from college last night! We are so very excited for her! Here is the card I made her using Papertrey Ink’s Paper Clippings: Congratulations and a PTI cap! My white diecut is a Scallop Stackers: Medium. I wish you a wonderful weekend!

Spring is when the flowers sing!

Hello, and how are you? I hope you had a most wonderful Easter! It’s been quite busy around here getting two kids ready to graduate! I created this card for someone dear, and this is also my entry for Papertrey Ink’s Challenge to Create a Card with my favorite yellow flowers. I think that all yellow flowers are my favorite! Here, I used a large Dahlia in the back, along with a yellow Into the Blooms: Rose, and the pretty floral sprig from Blooming Thoughts. And holding my florals is a PTI Weave a Basket!💛💛💛 I hope you’re having a nice day!

Yellow florals!

Carrot cake surprise!

Hello! I wanted to show you the birthday cake card that I made for my amazing husband! His favorite dessert is carrot cake, so I thought I would make him a carrot cake birthday card using those wonderful frosting dies from Papertrey Ink, they will always be a favorite of mine! I embellished it with another favorite of mine, the carrot from The Greetery! I used Honey Nut cardstock for the cake and splattered it with brown and black speckled paint. “Surprise” is a PTI diecut, and “eat cake” is from PTI’s Text Style Secret agent. I have the most wonderful Carrot Cake Cupcake recipe!

Smile, you’re in my happiest thoughts!

Hello! I needed to make a special card for someone, so I used Papertrey Ink’s Witb Love Mailbox die collection to make this cute mailbox card. The gold dots are from a PTI stencil that I embossed. The flowers are from Towering Stems, and I added a piece of patterned paper behind my mailbox. Smile is a PTI diecut. Don’t you love sending happy mail?

Floral thoughts of you!

How are you? I do hope you’re having a lovely winter day! It’s snowing here! This is a card that I created for a special friend of mine, and I die cut the flowers (I water colored them) and tag sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s Jar Accessories. The cute vintage vase is from Vase Collection 6. Have a great night!
