Butterfly Basics Card Set

Hi Everyone!

I really thought I shared this set of cards with you, but after searching my blog, they're not here. So, unless there's a blog boogie man that took them, I forgot to post them!

RUN FROM THE BLOG BOOGIE MAN! LOL Kidding! hehehe

For this card set, I used the Butterfly Basics stamp set from Stampin' Up! as well as the new 2015-2017 in colors. I hope you find some inspiration in my projects.

This is a super easy card set to create. If you would like to see further details on how I created it, please visit my YouTube channel. The link is on the left side of my blog under "Social Medias".

Thanks for spending some time with me today! Happy Stampin'!

Fun With Retiring Products!

Hi There!

I hope you all have made it through your Monday without too much pain and torture. I have, except for the incredible lack of sleep! Was up all night last night. Before that, I was getting about 2 hours per night! I just don't get it.
So, when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade! I created this card and gift box set in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep.
The box measures 2" x 2 " x 1 3/4". I used the Gift Box Punch Board to create the box. The color is Lost Lagoon. I layered on some Designer Series Paper from the All Abloom paper stack. I also used the Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set to create a little banner for the top of the box.

For the card, I used some of the left over paper from the box. I stamped and punched out a frame with the Four Frames Stamp Set. I just LOVE the little bird on this frame! So cute! I layered the DSP and the frame on some Island Indigo card stock. I finished it off with a bow made out of Thick Baker's Twine in the color Lost Lagoon. I love the simplicity of this card, yet it looks kind of elegant at the same time.

Some of these beautiful products are retiring. The Four Frames Stamp Set, Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set, and the All Abloom DSP paper stack are all retiring! Don't miss out! Order before they sell out!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope this blog post helped cheer you up in spite of it being Monday!

Hugs & Much Love - Pat

9 Cards - ONE Sheet of 12x12 DSP

Hi There Crafty Friends!

This past weekend I was playing in my craft room and decided to see how many cards I could make with one sheet of 12x12 Designer Series Paper (patterned paper).
I was able to make 9 cards! I could have done more had I cut some of the larger pieces down a bit, but, I really like the cards I made.
These are simple cards that are easy to recreate for anyone, from beginners to seasoned card makers.
I wanted to use as few supplies as possible. For those of you that are just starting out, I totally understand that you may have limited crafting supplies.
These are all standard A2 size cards, which is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". There will be a video on my YouTube channel shortly sharing these cards.
Products used are all from Stampin' Up! I used Whisper White card stock, Best Year Ever DSP, rhinestones, epoxy stickers, Stampin' Dimensionals, Crazy About You stamp set, Crisp Cantaloupe ink pad, Strawberry Slush ink pad, Whisper White Baker's Twine, Best Year Ever Designer Buttons.
Without further ado, here are the 9 cards I created:

I hope this inspires you to give it a try! It's fun trying to figure out how to cut and design the cards to get the most out of 1 sheet of paper!

Thanks for stopping by! Hugs, Pat

License Plate Birthday Card

Hello Friends!

Today I am sharing a super simple card that I made for my grandson's birthday.

I used DCWV's Stack 6 patterned paper, Autumn Leaves License Plate Stamp Set, StazOn Inks, and an American Crafts Card Base. This is a standard A2 size card, which is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

I struggled with this card, hence it's simplicity. I couldn't think of any embellishments I could use. If you have any suggestions, please leave me a comment below.
