Valentine Hearts For You

Thank you for stopping by ...

For family Valentine's Day cards this year, I made the SU! PP January 2025 Hearts For You kit.  However, since I needed 16 cards and the kit only made 9, I had to recreate additional cards using my Scan N Cut and items from my stash.  It worked QUITE well.  AND I learned a few things about using my Scan N Cut.

After making these, I realized I already made 9 cards from the SU! PP January 2023 Key To My Heart kit.  Oops.  Guess what kit I'm going to recreate and supplement next?  hee hee

The ultimate goal is to be a year ahead on all the holidays.  Adding to the Key To My Heart cards that are  already made will get me just a little bit closer to that goal.  Wish me luck.

Thanks for popping by.  Have a super day!

St. Patrick's Day

Hello! Still creating at the last minute, I recently created family St Patrick's Day cards.  I used a previously saved pin by Shannon White posted on the Taylored Expressions site as inspiration and combined that with the   Freshly Made Sketches  # 366 design.  I think it turned out pretty good but not quite as "polished" as I like.  I guess they can't all be super winners. 😐 I had fun "shopping my stash" to create this.  I am trying super hard to not buy more crafting stuff until I use some of what I already have.  I tend to buy things and never take the time to use them.  There are just so many cute and neat things out there in the crafty world.  Eeeks! For the inside sentiment, I printed an Irish blessing onto cardstock and adhered it inside each card. May your mornings bring joy And your evenings bring peace. May your troubles grow less As your blessings increase. Card Recipe Stamps:  SSS Gnome Lucky Punches & Dies: ...

Harry Potter Birthday Surprise

Another interactive card for a grandchild... My grandchildren love Harry Potter so I decided to create a card around that AND add an interactive element. Quite a while ago, I bought a Confetti Flinger die set so I finally made the time to figure it out.  It took me a few trials and failures but I finally got the flinger to work.  Yay!  The keys seem to be making sure the shorter end of the flinger is at the bottom and using glassine paper to hold the confetti. I had to cut up a postage stamp envelope since I didn't have any glassine in my craft supplies. I was so so excited when I got it to fling reliably.  To help keep everything together until he has it in his hands, I put a little bit of temporary adhesive on the corners.  hee hee For the front design, I wanted a bouquet of balloons but with the Harry Potter twist.  I bought and downloaded some clipart and then used the design from Freshly Made Sketches #FMS362. I really like the end result.  What ...

Bicycling Fun

At my previous house, I did NOT have a very good system of storing ephemera and embellishments and washi tape, so I seldom used them, I just forgot I had them.   I had just been working on sorting and organizing my craft room after our recent move, when my husband asked if I would make a funny get well card for his friend who recently wiped out on a bicycle. While looking for bicycle stamps and dies, I realized there was an adorable bicycle stamp set where I hadn't used all the stamps.  Some ideas came to mind for cards with this partially used stamp set and the recently discovered washi tape, ephemera and card bases.   This card was one of the results.  I still haven't used all the stamps in the set because I ran out of room on the card.  😂 I followed a saved design from Freshly Made Sketches , #FMS353.  I posted this card in the splitcoaststampers gallery and it was selected as a splitcoaststamper Weekly Favorite on April 7, 2024.  I am s...
