I was really excited to get this Country Gingham background stamp from Hello Bluebird but oh. my. gosh. was it HARD TO USE! It's just a background stamp so it should have been pretty easy but the one I used on my card was literally my fourth attempt because all the other ones looked terrible.… Continue reading Happy Hugs
This is a stamp by Hello Bluebird, a company whose products I don't often use. I think the images are super adorable and I like the way the cards turned out for the most part. The thing is... their style of stamps uses these TEENY TINY outlines. I didn't enjoy the process of actually making… Continue reading Big Hugs Woodland Stamp
I wasn't sure if this card would be too simple or not but I ended up really happy with how it turned out. This was another card that I made trying to use supplies that I hadn't used before and I think this time they paired together quite well. Materials used: Large Stitched Square Stackables… Continue reading Get Well Soon Flower Border

I know this is a simple card but I really like the way it turned out. (It's an old design by Yainea that I recreated.) I especially like the coloring - again, it's very simple but it turned out exactly like I hoped. I like the idea of a sympathy card that has some cuteness… Continue reading Sending Hedgehugs

I can't get over how much I love the look of this background. I do want to know how you avoid messing up the Yeti ink pad when you put it over other colors but hopefully it won't matter next time I use it! Materials used: Large Stitched Rectangles Distress oxide inks: Mowed Lawn, Rustic… Continue reading Hang In There
I was inspired to try this technique when I saw Mindy Eggen post about it. I used the same stencil she did (Off the Edge Daffodil by Simon Says Stamp) and it's such a pretty stencil. I will say, I'm used to Lawn Fawn stencils, which feel much more hardy/substantial, and this one was incredibly… Continue reading Stencil Ink Press Technique

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
Inspired by Elise C. from the Lawn Fawn Design Team! I still haven't made very many square cards but I want to make more. They're just so cute and I like the different feel they have when you hold them. This card was also the first time I made my own custom envelope to send… Continue reading Get Whale Soon

This was my first time using the Stitched Journaling Card by Lawn Fawn and I really love those rounded corners. The background was heat embossed with light silver embossing powder and this Fluff background stamp that I actually almost got rid of. I always thought about using it but never did, and now I'm so,… Continue reading Simple and Cute Daisies
This was my first time making any kind of "window" card. It's tricky because you want some sort of design or interest to show through the window, but then you need a space to write inside and you don't want to have to try and write over patterned paper. I think the label area was… Continue reading Two Get Well Cards
This card holds the title of my current favorite card I've ever made: It was actually the very first shaker card I've ever made. I wasn't very interested in shaker cards until I tried it, and now I see how much fun they are! I could see someone receiving this card who's maybe going through… Continue reading Umbrella Trio

I've made a couple of these cards lately, and since it was the first time I was using the Magic Picture Changer die I decided to make the exact sample card that Lawn Fawn made. I think it's a cute sentiment that is super versatile. I've already shared other cards I've made with that adorable… Continue reading Rain or Shine Magic Picture Changer
