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!

Enjoy Life

Today I'm going to tell you about the new set Enjoy Life. I first heard about this set at OnStage Milwaukee, and I fell in love with the set and the story behind it immediately. The person who designed this set is from my home state, Wisconsin. At OnStage, she shared the story behind this set and how it came to be. It resonated with me, and I realized that stamping has always been more than just paper and glue. It creates connections between people. It is therapy. It commemorates good times and bad. This set was designed by Connie Fitzgerald and represents both of her incredible children. Through her speech, I could feel her passion towards creativity and her love for not just stamping but for people and for life. She is truly inspirational, and I hope I give Enjoy Life the justice it deserves. Here is what I created using Enjoy Life. I used Crumb Cake cardstock as the base and added a layer of the new color Mossy Meadow. Then I stamped the images from the set onto ...

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 ...

First Frost Ornaments

I have one more project to show you all using the First Frost Bundle and the Labeler Alphabet stamp set. I am so excited to tell you all about this project! Last year before Christmas, I was searching on Pinterest and came across some cute ornaments that I knew I could recreate with the help of my boyfriend, Joe, who is a woodworker. He helped me make them, and I stamped words on them using my Labeler Alphabet set. When I was decorating my tree this year, I found them and fell in love with them all over again. A few days before I decorated my tree, Joe was asking me what I think he should make as gifts for people for Christmas, and when I remembered I had these ornaments, I said we should make some more sets of them. So, we made a bunch of sets of our ornaments to give to family and friends for the holidays. After we made them, I was thinking about how we would package them to give as gifts. I saw some cute Christmas boxes and tins at Hobby Lobby, but Joe reminded me that the point...
