Card from my daughter

Good morning! I'm ending the year today by sharing a card not made by me, but by my daughter Amy!

Lately I have been putting some of my leftovers from cardmaking in a little box for them to play around with. Sometimes they use them to decorate their room, sometimes to make a gift for someone - but on this particular day when I handed them a bunch of random assorted new stuff - my daughter turned around a few minutes later with this card all layed out and asking for tape to assemble it! WOW!

It is fun for me to see their creativity continue to bloom as they grow - and I thought she did a lovely job of putting this card together, so of course, I had to share it!


I am also linking this up for her to this week's Simon Says Monday Challenge - Anything Goes


This uses a mix of all different manufacturers - I linked them all below if you are curious! :)

June 2016 Favorites

Good morning! Last year I had so much fun looking back over the past year and sharing a recap of my favorites from each month, that I thought I would go ahead and do it again! It's so fun to see how my style has changed or sometimes stayed the same throughout the year and to be reminded of techniques I haven't tried in a while either.

In June 2015, I had 46 posts just on this blog, and every month I had posts on other Design Team blogs!

I have posted links to the original post in case you missed it or would like more details! I am also going to box up some surprise goodie boxes filled with some gently used (and a few new) crafty goodies and pick some winners from any comments left on these 12 monthly recap posts (not each individual link from these posts!) - so if you're interested, make sure and leave a comment! I'm so grateful for each of you that has been part of this journey for me!

Hugs and Prayers - Corbel Heart Die

Good morning! Stopping by today with another card using some of DieCember release from Simon Says Stamp? I really love the beautiful Corbel Heart Wafer Die - and thought it would be perfect for a simple card of encouragement as well as for the more obvious Valentine or Anniversary use.



I am also linking this up with this week's Simon Says Monday Challenge - Anything Goes


I die cut it in the center of a panel of Mint Cardstock, also die cut with Stitched Rectangles. I backed it with Black Cardstock, but still cut a window out of the center so that the heart still showed the white cardbase through.



I heat embossed a sentiment from Hero Arts Prayers Stamp and Die set on Black Cardstock, trimmed into strips and adhered directly on the heart.



Finished off by mounting with foam adhesive on my cardbase - so you can see the dimension right through the die cut heart!
