This was based on a card that Megan made that I changed slightly. I just love the colors of the background. Spoiler alert: I have already used this combination on several other cards so this blog is about to be full of these colors. 😄 Materials used: Large Mini Slimline StackablesChili Pepper cardstockSmall Mini Slimline… Continue reading Scent With Love Mini Slimline
I followed this tutorial by Jennifer McGuire to make these trees: https://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2020/12/handmade-trees.html I like the way the lighter version came out the best. I keep calling it the "Blue Spruce" tree even though I know nothing about trees and it probably looks nothing like one lol. The die cutting took a little time but other… Continue reading Winter Trees

My first mini slimline! I really like this card size. The only downside is that it's not easy to find pre-made card bases that match this size and I don't want to have to measure out and make one every time. But I like the look. This was a scene by Marine that I recreated,… Continue reading Breakfast Scene Card Recreation

For this card I used this stained glass glitter technique by Jennifer McGuire. You can watch her video here: https://youtu.be/neh-woJWFVs The idea to use this technique with these Layered Butterflies was from Tammy Swanson. 😊 And it's a great one! This part was a little time consuming and a tiny bit messy. I cut the… Continue reading Stained Glass Butterfly Card
I was inspired to recreate this design by Elena R., which is so cute. I used a different sentiment on mine because I liked how "wish big" went with the big octopus and also the amount of treats. I definitely feel the need for more copics. Purple is a hard color to blend and I… Continue reading Wish Big Ocean Shell-fie Card
This was a cute and simple Lawn Fawn design that I wanted to recreate. The whole card only took about an hour and 15 minutes to create, including cleanup! It's always much faster for me when there isn't a lot of coloring to be done!

I just love how this card turned out! It has a nice clean look and it feels very substantial with the foam tape under the wheel. The acetate piece over the top gives that screen look even more and really puts it over the top! This card required some partial die cutting. (See below.) I… Continue reading Reveal Wheel + Selfie Frames

I love how this card turned out. It was more work than other cards because I had to mirror image stamp the scarves/head bands and turtles and fussy cut the scarves, but it was worth it. This was a design by thepapercrownnyc on Instagram that I recreated. Materials used: Get Well Before n Afters (turtles)Let's… Continue reading A Ninja Turtle Anniversary Card
