Reveal Wheel Pumpkin Faces
This card took so many steps to make but I think it's perfect for my young niece and nephews. It feels nice and hefty because it technically has 8 layers to it: the patterned paper background, the black matting piece, the Reveal Wheel backing piece and then the front piece, the little trees, the black… Continue reading Reveal Wheel Pumpkin Faces
Fall Fun
When Lawn Fawn's Fall/Winter 2020 release came out, I really liked one of the designs by Chari M. I decided I had to recreate it for myself, with a few small changes! I just love those sweet bears and I can't wait to make more cards with them! (I feel like I end up saying… Continue reading Fall Fun
A Smashing Birthday Card
I had wanted to make this card for a long time, but I wish I had changed a few things. If I made it again I would move the sentiment lower in the frame and place the piƱata lower too, and that would allow me to move the fox down a little bit too. I… Continue reading A Smashing Birthday Card
A Wild Birthday
This was my very first time using Hello Bluebird products and I just love that little monkey! I also really love the way the tropical foliage looks cut from Cilantro cardstock and then ink blended with Jalapeno ink. I'm so loyal to Lawn Fawn that I rarely branch out into other companies but these were… Continue reading A Wild Birthday
So Many Succulents
I had a vision for this card when I ordered Lawn Fawn's summer 2020 release, and it did not disappoint. In real life I am no good at keeping plants alive but I love being able to create a quick batch of these for a card. They're so cute! It's been awhile since I used… Continue reading So Many Succulents
A simple apple picking card
This card ended up looking a little more "simple" than I wanted; I wish I had added more detail to the sky or trees. It also bugs me that everything isn't perfectly centered, but in general I still get good fall vibes from it. Materials used: Lawn Fawn Puffy Clouds Border Lawn Fawn Simple Grassy… Continue reading A simple apple picking card

Variations of Fall
At the beginning of August I started a challenge for myself. I decided that for the next year, instead of buying new things, I'm going to try and use every stamp, die, stencil, and embossing folder I have. I took my inventory and split them up between months of the year to give myself a… Continue reading Variations of Fall
Campfire in the Mountains
A simple fall card! I don't normally make cards like this where the scene doesn't take up the whole card. I like it as a different style! This was also my first card using the Just Stitching Double Rectangles and I loooove them. This was definitely a perfect card to use them on. Materials used:… Continue reading Campfire in the Mountains
