Fun Friday: My Daughter's Card

A little while back I shared the Valentine's Day card I made for my son so I thought would share what I made for my daughter. I made her card the night before Valentine's Day so I had to sneek it back to photograph it. :) She loves color and sparkles and all things crazy. It may have been best to pile on 40 stickers and dump a bucket of glitter on a card but I resisted. :)  I took a few new Crate Paper Oh Darling journaling cards, die cut the heart and added tons of Wink of Stella. The sentiment is Lawn Fawn's Milo ABCs. I love all the little bits and pieces in the Oh Darling die cuts. I'm always trying to find an excuse to use them.  I finished the card with some Bella Blvd tape, enamel dots and a big twine bow. Now I need to go put the card back in my daughters room so it can get lost in all of her 4 year old treasures. :) Supplies: hearts - lawn cuts milo's ABCs *Hemptique WHITE Hemp Cord Twine *Bella Blvd BL

Bella Blvd: Be Yourself Dude

The Bella Blvd Max line has so many great personalities in it. They combine perfectly but can also stand on their own. For my first card, I wanted to use was the fun guitars in this collection. The journaling card was a perfect start. I added Wink of Stella to the guitar to make it shine. From there I layered the with more color, more stars and a fun sticker tab that makes completes the sentiment. My next card is all about the tough army guy part of the collection. I layered a journaling card (love the neutral side options!) with two die cut pieces and a few accents. Again, I added Wink of Stella to the stars to add a little shine. I'm excited to add these boy cards to my collection and give them for my favorite dudes! Supplies: (NEW Bella Blvd supplies are currently shipping to retailers. I will try to update when I see them in stock) *ZIG Wink of Stella GLITTER CLEAR Brush Tip Marker 025320 *Hemptique WHITE Hemp Cord Twine

Paper Smooches: Who Love You?

The new Paper Smooches owl set totally cracks me up. The three owls from Paper Smooches Hooties set have the BEST personalities. :) I paper pieced the biggest owl and added him on top of a banner from Streamers. The sentiment is from Hooties. I tried something a little different and highlighted the sentiment by stamping a brush stroke from Positive Strokes on top. I can't wait to stamp all three owls together! Hm... I better get working. :) Supplies: Hooties Positive Strokes Flowers Dies Streamers Dies InLinkz.com

Smooches and Crate Paper: Be Brave

Alpha sets are so cool. Have you seen the new one from Paper Smooches called Mini Monograms ?  There are so many different letter choices so creating your own sentiment is super fun.  My 4 year old LOVES the movie Brave . This card was inspired by her. She is normally crafting right along with me. It's so fun to have a crafting buddy. :) I thought the large tag would be a fun base for the card. I just cut a matching shape out of cardstock to create the back. I also can't stop using gold. I'm addicted. It's shiny and that makes me happy. :) Supplies: Paper Smooches, Clear Stamps, Love Struc Paper Smooches, Mini Monograms Crate Paper STYLEBOARD Decorative Lace Tape Maggie Holmes Crate Paper First Prize 12X12 Maggie Holmes Styleboard Paper Crate Paper STYLEBOARD Journaling Cards Maggie Holmes InLinkz.com
