Pineapple Greeting Card

Happy Thursday! Today I'm sharing a handmade greeting card that I made last week. I am getting really excited for Spring and Summer so I decided to make a greeting card that reminded me of Summer.

This card was really easy to make and took me less than 10 minutes to make. I got that pineapple sticker and the enamel dots from Michaels. The alpha stickers are from Freckled Fawn. I love how the alphas have two different colors. The white and gold is perfect. I decided to spell out "Hello" so that it would be perfect for any day.

This card is currently available in my shop. Don't forget that you can get 30% off your order in my shop with the code LUCKY. The code is valid until March 31, 2017.

Handmade Adventure Card

Happy Monday! For the past couple of weeks, I have been trying to go through my stash and use up a lot of stuff. While searching through my supplies, I found a camping themed sticker set and decided to use it to make a greeting card.

It was really easy to make this card. First, I stamped the sentiment in the lower right hand corner. Then I placed the tent sticker in the middle of the card and then adhered the rest of the stickers. Overall, I love how the card turned out. I love the shiny kettle and cups as well as the guitar.

Supplies Used:

• SandyLion Camping 3-D Stickers

• Recollections Color Splash Stamp and Stencil Set

Handmade Christmas Greeting Cards

Happy Thursday! Today, I'm sharing a few Christmas cards that I made. All of these cards are currently available at my shop.

I had so much fun making over 20 Christmas and holiday themed cards last week. I think they turned out great. Each card is different. One of my favorite cards is the Christmas Gingerbread House card. The house is just adorable and I love that it's colorful.

How cute are those trees and the houses? I really like the card with the cork tree and the stars. There are stars inside the tree. I think the hint of silver makes the card pop. 

Have you started getting ready for the holidays?

Handmade Greeting Cards

Hello! I recently made a bunch of Fall and Thank You cards. The "Thank You" cards are geared towards teachers and school bus drivers. You may have seen the cards on my Instagram, but I thought I would share them here as well.

I used a bunch of embellishments from a previous Freckled Fawn kit as well as some patterned paper in my stash. How cute is that Owl? If you click on the picture, you can see that the enamel dots have glitter in them.

I also used some Freckled Fawn embellishments and patterned paper on this card. I really like the colors on this card. The striped alpha letters are so adorable and add just a bit of dimension.

School has already started where I live so I was inspired to make a batch of cards for teachers and school bus drivers. I used my Hero Arts sentiment stamp set and some chipboard stickers from Me & My Big Ideas. I just simply placed the sticker in the center and then stamped the sentiment beneath it.

I made a couple of sets of "Thank You" cards for teachers...it's perfect for those who have various teachers to thank. I love the apple stickers. They even have glitter on them, but the glitter does not come off!

You can find all of these cards in my shop.

Supplies Used:

• Me & My Big Ideas - I Love School Chipboard Stickers
• Freckled Fawn October 2014 Embellishment Kit
• Chickaniddy Crafts Scrumptious 6x6 Paper Pad

Are you ready for Fall and Back to School?

Handmade Cards-May 2016 Freckled Fawn Kit

Happy Monday! I hope you all had an amazing weekend! I received my National Scrapbook Day prize package about a little over a week ago and decided to make some cards. I also used the May "Bloom" Freckled Fawn kit.

I really like how this card turned out. I love the white and pink pearls and the hint of cork just makes the card pop. This is my second favorite card out of the bunch.

I used a Pebbles card base for the card above. I do want to note that I had a bit of a hard time deciding how to use the resin flowers that were included in the kit. I don't use resin items often mainly because I can never figure out which type of glue would work well. I ended up using my Tombow Mono Liquid Glue and Tombow Xtreme Adhesive Tape to adhere the resin flowers onto the card. I'm happy to say that it worked!

I was inspired by Sandra over at Mojosanti. She made some really cute cards using Freckled Fawn's kit. You can check out the cards that she made here.

I really love that the papers in the Amy Tangerine paper pad and the items in May's Freckled Fawn kit coordinate very well. My favorite card is the one with the floral background. That paper is just gorgeous!

Supplies Used:

• Freckled Fawn Kit-May "Bloom"
• Amy Tangerine Better Together 12x12 Paper Pad
• Recollections Cards
• Pebbles Card Pack

Birthday Cards-Simple Stories Birthday Pack

Hey! Hey! It's been a while since I made some birthday cards so I took some time to make a bunch. It didn't take too long to make these cards and they are super simple to make. *This post may be a bit photo heavy due to the amount of cards that I made.*

To make my cards, I used white and kraft card bases. I adhered 3x4 and 4x6 cards to the bases, but I did trim the 4x6 cards so that they would fit on the bases. Then I added some stickers, enamel dots, and a die cut onto the cards.

Supplies Used:

• Simple Stories Birthday Pack

• Simple Stories Birthday Stickers

• Recollections enamel dots

• American Crafts This to That Glue Runner

• Recollections white and kraft cards

3 Hello Cards and a I Love You Card

Happy Saturday! Today, I want to share a few cards that I recently made.

I have been trying to use my stash rather purchasing more scrapbooking and crafting stuff. Even though I did purchase a few things recently, all of these cards were made using primarily items in my stash.

Each of the cards have a felt embellishment in the center. I don't normally use felt in my projects, but I was glad that they already came with an adhesive on the back. For this card, I used some enamel dots and yellow puffy stickers. You can't tell by the picture, but the white enamel dots actually have a bit of glitter.

I have been loving using green and blue in my projects. I think the yellow button is random, but catches your attention. I love how the circle and triangle enamel stickers almost blend into the paper.

This card may just be one of my favorite ones out of the batch. I love the pops of yellow and white.

I'm not sure how I really feel about this last card. I actually wanted to use some blue puffy stickers, but I did not have enough letters. So instead of going out to my local craft store or ordering online, I just decided to use what I already had.

Supplies Used:

• Amy Tangerine Rise & Shine 6x6 paper pad
• Studio Calico Wanderlust 6x6 paper pad
• Recollections Boho Stickers
• Recollections Valentine's Day Enamel Stickers
• Freckled Fawn March 2015 Kit
• Freckled Fawn April 2015 Kit

Decorating Project Life Cards

Happy Wednesday! Can you believe that it's the second day of March? I have a feeling that this month is going to be great! I still have a few things that I want to share that I made last month and today I will be sharing a few Project Life cards that I made.

I used a few supplies to make some Project Life cards. I went through my stash of Me & My Big Ideas pocket pages cards. I chose cards that did not have any writing on them because I wanted to use some epoxy labels. Once I added the labels onto the cards, I began to use other embellishments like stickers and enamel dots.

You may notice that on the card on the left, I put some enamel dots near the corners of the card. You may have to click on the photo in order to get a closer look. I added a dimensional feather sticker onto the middle card and a couple of puffy heart stickers onto the third card. My favorite card is the "Big Dreamer" card that has the feather.

I'm really loving the watercolor look on these two cards. I decided to keep these two simple and just add an epoxy label for each of the cards. I think the watercolor background added the right amount of detail on the cards.

This was a great way for me to use up my stash. I definitely plan to decorate more of my pocket pages cards soon.

Supplies Used:

• Me & My Big Ideas Cards
• Sandy Lion Feather Stickers
• DCWV Inc. Vintage Collector Epoxy Labels
• Freckled Fawn Woodland Kit-White Puffy Stickers
