Bella Blvd: Thankful For...

Hi Everyone! I have another Bella Blvd card to share today. I'll keep this short as I know most of you are busy with Thanksgiving plans. :)  Have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving tomorrow! ENJOY the holiday!  Thanks for stopping by!

Bella Blvd: Give Thanks

Hi Everyone! I can't believe its Thanksgiving week already. November was a quick month! :) I LOVE this time of year. I'm up on the Bella Blvd blog today sharing a card with the Thankful Collection paired with Daily Chevies. Bella Blvd's designs are so thoughtful. I love that the inside of the alpa sets are cute too. I added some interest by popping up the middle pieces with some dimensional adhesive. The sticker banner complete my custom sentiment and has the best fall colors! Thanks for stopping!

Bella Blvd: Life is Good

 Hi Everyone! I'm back to share another feather card. This time I went a little feather overboard. I've been wanting to try a washi feather so I made one and paired it with a die cut feather and a Bella Blvd embellishment feather. Since the feathers are kinda crazy I kept the design and sentiment sticker simple. In case you were wondering, the yellow chevron paper is my favorite Bella Blvd paper. ;) The reverse side is that amazing grey triangle. Love both. I use them all the time. Thanks for stopping by today!

Bella Blvd: Free Printables and Feathers

 Hi Everyone! I'm super excited to share that today the owner and designer for Bella Blvd, Stephanie Smokovich has some FREE printables over on her blog today HERE ! I am SO excited to check them out and use them. I hope you will too.  Next up is one of my cards following the current feather trend. Bella Blvd makes the. best. color feathers. At first, I wasn't sure about feathers on a card but they are so stinkin' fun once you dive in. I LOVE them and can't wait to use more.  On this card I used a bold colored navy feather and kept the rest of the card light and bright. Layering and using Bella products has become a serious favorite of mine. Between the stickers, tape and embellishments card making is easy and so enjoyable. Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to let me know what you think of the free printables! :)

Newton's Nook: November Release

Hi Everyone! I'm back to share a few cards from Newton's Nook  November release.  First up is this card using Frozen Friends.  I LOVE this snowman with his cup of coffee (or hot chocolate).  The sentiment is so fun. I adore the sentiments that combine the typed font with the handwriting. They are my favorite! Next up is Snow Day . I had to make the snow penguin sliding down a hill. Isn't he the best? Again, the sentiments are super fun and fit the images perfectly! :) Thank you Jen for allowing me to guest design this month for Newton's Nook!  It's been so fun and I can't wait to make a few more projects with your awesome stamps!

Paper Smooches: Calorie Free Subway Art

I can't get over the new Calorie Free set from Paper Smooches. It's so fun. Today I went all out, subway art style to make this quirky food card. :) I know a few friends that would get a kick out of this, would you? I created the label because that is my new favorite thing to do (see HERE  and HERE ) using Borderlicious . The Streamer Die helped tie everything together.  PS- I LOVE the lettuce in the Calorie Free set too! Not only is it a great looking vegetable but I also think it makes an awesome flower (check it out "flower style" HERE ). Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Cath!  There is no way to summarize what you mean to me and the crafting community. YOUR inspiration, YOUR standards and YOUR style set a bar for excellence that matches no one. In true crafting style, sometimes my feelings are expressed better through art than through words. Your influence will carry on at my craft desk long after you leave. This one is for you... Hey Hoppers and Cath Lovers! You should have arrived here from Alica's blog  and your next stop is Mama Elephant . I can't wait to go there and see what Kryssi has for Cath! She always blows me away. :) BIG HUGS CATH! I can't wait to see what part of the world you will rock next!

Hi Everyone! I was very lucky to have several cards published in Paper Crafts special issue Handmade Cards. It really is an awesome issue. You can buy it HERE . Today I want to share one of my favorite cards that I created for the magazine.  This card uses some awesome Mama Elephant stamps. I love their trendy sentiments! I used a sentiment from Bling  and their polka dots found in Basic Borders .  The sparkly wrap banner is glitter tape! So fun AND easy. I need to make more of those... :) Thanks for stopping by today!

Bella Blvd: Pinterest Inspired

Hi Everyone! How has your November been? It's been a stormy day here and I'm just getting back online after a power outage earlier today.  This card was up on the Bella Blvd blog on Friday for the Pinterest Inspired challenge. I really enjoy taking inspiration from Pinterest pictures. Check out the post HERE  to see the inspiration photo, how I was inspired and few other super cool cards and and awesome layout created by the Bella Blvd DT.  For my card I die cut the sentiment then layered in lots of fun papers, stickers, decorative tape and a die cut label. You can find the Bella products I used over HERE too. Thanks for stopping by!
