Forever Lovely Birthday

I know a lot of people who have February birthdays, so be prepared for lots of fun birthday cards over the next month! This is just the first of many!

Don't get me wrong, I love prepping for my classes and creating cards that everybody is going to enjoy making and giving to the people they love. But sometimes I feel like I don't use half of my supplies because I can't use them all during my classes! I really enjoyed making this more intricate, super fun card for a person I know whose personality fits this card perfectly! Just full of light and beauty! I loved the feeling of making a card specifically for a special person in my life. Because I have like four shoe drawers full of cards, I always just end up picking one out when an occasion comes up. This year I want to make more personalized cards for the people I love!

Here is the card! Isn't it so fun??


Here are some details of the card. I used some extra pieces I had from my Stamp Camp that was a week ago and lots and lots of embellishments!


 I washed over the sentiment with the Wink of Stella glitter pen to add lots of sparkle to the project. Because the rest of the card is so busy, I wanted the sentiment to stand out too. The sentiment on the outside of the card is from the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set.



 Here is a glimpse inside the card. The inside sentiment is from Cake Soiree, and I think it matches the outside sentiment perfectly! I wanted to make the inside of the card just as detailed as the outside. I don't normally put this much on the inside of my cards, but I think this one deserved it!


One last picture with some of the products I used in this project. I truly had a blast making this card, and it sparked a new level of creativity for me! I can't wait to make more fun birthday cards this month!

First Frost

Hi everyone! Long time, no see. I had such a busy semester that I have not been keeping up with my blog like I've wanted to. That doesn't mean I haven't been busy stamping! Now that I'm done with school for about a month, my goal is to catch up on sharing everything I've been up to! Christmas is just around the corner, and I wanted to take some time to share a few of my favorite projects with you all. The First Frost Clear-Mount Bundle from the Frosted Floral Suite was something that caught my eye immediately when I first looked through the Holiday Catalog. And sure enough... almost all of my projects that I have done for Christmas have used this bundle! I will share a few of them here. Here are four cards I created with this bundle. What I love about the products in this suite is that you have the freedom to create more than just Christmas cards. The first picture was the card I sent out to friends and family for the Holidays, but it could really be used for

Current Favorites

It's been almost a month since I've made a blog post, so let me tell you about my new favorite color combo. I have been using variations of this combination of colors in all of my projects for the last like week, and I didn't even notice it until now! I also am still very obsessed with the Nature's Poem Suite as you can probably tell. The images and sentiments in the stamp set are versatile enough that I find I am using them on many of the cards I have made lately. I also went camping with my boyfriend the weekend after the 4th of July, so that inspired me as well. Nature is always my go-to source for inspiration! The colors are: Crumb Cake Mint Macaron Petal Pink Grapefruit Grove Here are all of the projects that I've made using these colors. Grapefruit Grove and Crumb Cake Petal pink, mint macaron, and some Nature's Poem DSP I hope you've enjoyed checking out a few of my projects using some of my current favorite colors and go-

Genuine Gems

I had such a fun time at OnStage in Minneapolis this past weekend, and I just HAD to play with one of my new stamp sets when I got home! As some of you know, I haven't been great at keeping up with my stamping lately because I have been finishing up my undergrad degree, my grandmother recently passed away, and life is throwing some other curveballs at me right now. It's been difficult to get back into stamping, which is a shame because it truly is my self-care. Part of getting better physically and mentally means getting back into my stamping room more often! I'm glad that OnStage gave me some motivation this weekend. So anyway... how fitting that for my Prize Patrol at OnStage, I got a stamp set full of sympathy sentiments! The new set, which will be available in the NEW 2019-2020 ANNUAL CATALOG, is called Genuine Gems. I'm not one for making a lot of sympathy cards, but I love the sentiments in this set! I used a few of the stamps from this set to make a card for
