Hi there! The other day I shared this project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring some fun products from the recent June card kit. The card kit sold out so fast, but many of the individual components are available, including the ones I used here.
I loved doing a rainbow with the Bunting die. I did an overflowing 3D Popcorn Box and added a sentiment using the Having Fun stamp set.
You can check out the video HERE! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of graduation cards that I made last weekend. My daughter always requests custom cards with the names on them so this is what I came up with.
I had the recent Greetery products nearby so they were first to grab. On the background I used the Capsule Star Studded Borders dies, Capsule Basics dies & Capsule Party Scene dies. To customize the names I used the Caps Bold Alphabet dies and for the congrats I used the Let’s Have a Word: Congrats die.
On the inside of the card I used the World’s Greatest die for the trophy pocket. I added the “for you” sentiment from the Big Yay set.
Of Course a shaker is always a fun touch so I filled it with the Starshine Embellishment Mix.
Here was my daughter’s reaction: “Okay Mom, you went above and beyond on these and I love it!”
I’ll take that as a win!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi there! Yesterday I shared this fun, geometric blended star project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog.
Below was my inspiration. I believe this pattern is called sawtooth star. I’ve never quilted before, but this pattern and color combination is gorgeous!

Hi there! Today I’m joining The Greetery to kick off the Fête & Fiesta Collection introductions.
These new products go live at 10am EDT on Thursday, May 14.
Picado was a new term for me. It actually means “chopped” but this type of “perforated paper” design is a traditional Mexican folk art featuring intricate designs cut into tissue paper.
I am in love!
For my first card I used a combination of the Pretty Picado Die with the Capsule Star Studded Borders and the Pretty Picado Sentiments stamp set & coordinating dies for the sentiment.
Here’s a video showing how I created these cards.
My second card featured the Pretty Picado Stencil mixed with the Capsule Star Studded Borders & Capsule Basics Dies. For the sentiment I used one of the Pretty Picado Cut-Away Sentiments Dies along with the Pretty Picado Sentiments stamp set.
My next card is a fun shape card showcasing the new Market Place Celebration Street dies.
Here I used it with the Market Place No 3 Die Set. The window boxes, balloons, banners and even adorable bicycle give a fresh new feel to these existing Market Place products.
Next up is the new Arch Box Mini Die. This is such a cute, mini version of the other Arch Boxes and works well with many other products.
Here I added blooms from the Pretty Picado Blooms Die Set along with windows from the Market Place Mini Die Set. I added the window boxes from the new Market Place Celebration Street Die Set and sentiments from the Pretty Picado Sentiments stamp & die sets.
Here’s a video showing how I created these boxes.

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this card over on the Simon Says Stamp blog.
I did some fancy stripping inspired by this gorgeous Bauhaus print.

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a fun stitching project. I pulled out my old sewing kit and found some happy thread.
Ofcourse, Pinterest was my inspiration(below) I used the large circle die to trace my arched shape and punched the holes with my needle tool. For the sentiment I kept it super simple and used the Tiny Words Faith set and embellished with a few clear dots. I also should say that the Betterpress cardstock works like a dream to stitch with because of its sturdiness.
Here is a reel to show how I created this card.
I feel more stitching ideas a-brewin’. It’s so fun!
Hi there! Today I’m sharing a fun, geometric card using the smallest square in the Basic Shapes Square die set.
Below was my inspiration. The colors, even though they aren’t in rainbow order, sparked joy. For the sentiment I used the CZ Birthday Basics stamp set.
Here is a reel showing how I created this card.

Hi there! Today I’m playing around with a little paper weaving. It was so fun to do this in rainbow order using some Concord & 9th solid colored cardstock. I added a sentiment using the CZ Hi There die.
Below was the inspiration pic that got the whole thing started. The source is by Lark & Bower, and they offer many intriguing looking paper weaving workshops.
Here is a video showing how I created my card.

Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog. I created an easy diamond pattern using some solid colored cardstock and added a sentiment from the CZ Good Greetings 1.
