We Go Together Card


Today I got a new stamp set from Avery Elle that I couldn't wait to use. Its called We Go Together and it has some cute images and sayings in it. I stamped the martini glass and the olive from the set and colored them in with some copics. 

I die cut the circle and the frame using Simon Says Stamps circle stitched dies in basic white and old olive card stock.


I popped up the circle in the center for a little dimension and added some sequins and wink of Stella to my martini! I think this is so cute! Sorry you can't see the sparkle in this picture.

I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by. Happy Stamping 😊

Mixed Sentiments

I love to mix up my sentiments by using stamps and word dies. This card was super simple to make and you could change the stamped portion of the sentiment to use for so many different occasions.

This is a great CAS card that could be easily mass produced. I used this adorable patterned paper from a 6x6 Heidi Grace pad called "Sunshowers".  How cute is this paper!! 

Then I die cut half of a circle out to make a little spot for my sun to go. The sun die is from the Lawn Fawn "Bright and Sunny" stamps and die set. I thought it went perfect with the patterned paper. I also die cut my You sentiment and added it above the stamped sentiment. Both the you die and the stamped sentiment are from the Avery Elle "Simply Said You" set. I think this is a great way to get more from you dies and stamps. Sometimes its good to mix things up, right?

I challenge you to try mixing up your word dies and your stamps for some fun sentiments. 

Happy Crafting :)

Thinking of You Card with Distress Inks

Oh how I love using distress inks for my backgrounds! The blending is always so smooth and beautiful. I wanted this card to look like a sunrise.


I stamped these little birds from the Lawn Fawns "Hello Sunshine" stamp set in memento tuxedo black ink so I could color them with my copics. I think they turned out really cute.  I masked off my birds and inked up my background and then I stamped my greeting.

The greeting is from the Simon Says Dies and Stamps "From Me To You". I love this set, it is two stamps set full of greetings and two word dies that coordinate. I mounted my image on black cardstock for a nice pop!

I hope your inspired to try out distress inks on your next background. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting :)

CAS Card for Case this sketch #107


Today I wanted to share with you a card that I made for the CAS(E) this sketch! challenge. I love that it is a CAS layout. I have always struggled with white space on my cards but I am learning to love the look  now. These make wonderful cards to mass produce. You could easily change the sentiement and the hearts for any occasion.


Here's a close up so you can see the detail that the crystal effects gave the hearts!

Below you can see the sketch that I used to create my card. 


Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting! :)

Valentines Note card

I am loving little note cards lately. They are so quick and easy to make and small enough to stick in my kids lunchbox or my husbands planner. I made this one to stick in my daughters lunch on Valentines day.


I think this stamp is so stinking cute. It is actually a wood mount stamp that I found at my local craft store and I had to have it.  I colored the pig with copics and added some sparkle to his wings and trunks with a Wink of Stella glitter pen. The background was also a stamp I found that same day and knew it would be perfect together.

I stamped the background stamp with versa mark ink and cleared embossed it. To finish it of I added a few clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. Who doesn't love a cute Cupig?  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are inspired to make little note cards for someone special in your life.

Happy Crafting! :)
