CARDS - May 2013

Hello! 

Have you picked up the May issue of CARDS magazine? Isn't the cover gorgeous? I love the tulips, the card they featured and all the beautiful Mother's Day projects inside! 

I'm excited to share that one of my cards was published in this issue! 

When I made this card I had just received a set of hexagon thin metal dies in the mail and couldn't wait to create something with them! I used the Pebbles' Seen and Noted collection, perfect for multiple dies with all the beautifully coordinated patterned papers.

Mother's Day is in just a few short days. I hope you all enjoy it! :)

CARDS - December 2012

Hi!

I feel like I'm living in the tropics this morning! It's close to 70 degrees and raining. If I could exchange our pine trees for palms you would think we were in Hawaii! ;)

I got some happy mail the other day. My holiday card, Joy, returned from it's trip to Northridge Publishing. 

I created this card with an Echo Park holiday collection and a few Papertrey Ink dies. Now that it's just about spring, I should make another card like it with flowers flowing out of the little envelope. Wouldn't that be pretty? :)

Thanks for visiting! Have a super day!

Publication and Giveaway

Hello!

Last week I got the August issue of CARDS in the mail with my Sweet Summertime card in it photographed with slices of sweet and juicy watermelon on page 23. Ah...summertime memories! The dog days of summer seem so long ago already, don't they?

This card was a lot of fun to create! I adore the Simple Stories 100 Days of Summer collection I used to make it!

As you may know, Northridge Publishing gives two issues to designers who have a project(s) featured in their magazine and I'd like to give one of you my second copy. It's loaded with gorgeous cards from oodles of talented crafters.

If you would like to get your hands on it, just leave me a comment and I will randomly select a winner to announce on my post tomorrow.

Thanks for your visit. I hope you have a lovely day!

Let's Get Our Craft On!

Happy Monday morning! For those of you who would like to make some Valentine cards or for those of you who still need to put together some thank you cards for the lovelies you got during the holidays, 2 Sketches 4 You has another fantastic design and sponsor!

Buy this Card

Isn't this a fabulous sketch?!?! It's by Kazan and here's my take on it. Our sponsor and creator of the pretty stamped image on my card is from Starving Artistamps. To win some of these fabulous stamps and find out about the details, head on over to 2 Sketches 4 You!

Next I'd like to share a scrapbook page I made. It's a hybrid page using a super cool digital kit called Frame Ups - 4x6 by Katherine Teague. You can buy this digital kit at Two Peas in a Bucket.

This page is about my first publication, a Halloween card. It made the cover of CARDS magazine! I used the same orange card stock and black trim on this page that I used for the card.

This last project I'll share with you today is a Valentine card I made over the weekend. We all have about a month to make our Valentine's Day cards.

The little post card that I used for my card is by Pink Paislee. They have the cutest Valentine line this year called Cupid. You can find this line at Two Peas in a Bucket.
