Flower Garden Box Card for Mothers Day

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

I love making box cards.  You’re creativity and imagination can go wild, because you can insert any kind of cut-out to create your card.  This flower garden card was made for my mother-in-law for Mothers Day.

2017 Mothers Day cardWhat is so sweet, she keeps some of the cards that we have given her for various occasions displayed in the china hutch. So for this card I decided not to make the sentiment visible so it can stay out all year.

My husband loved the way the fencing was around the base of the card 🙂

This card was made using my Cricut Explore Air, various Thin Cut dies used with a Cuttlebug machine, lots of Stamps and Ink.

Spring Has Sprung

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

Springtime Makes Me Smile when I see all of the trees start budding and flowers start blooming.  Spring has sprung in North Florida and in my Craft Room 🙂

No matter how many new and exciting products are on the market, there are times when I just want to “go back to basics”  using a white card base from Close To My Heart, a paper punch, paper crimper and a few thin cuts.  I can’t believe that I did not use a rubber stamp on this card 🙂

I was not spring cleaning, but I was looking at supplies that I have not used in awhile.  It’s amazing what you can find hidden in those decorative photo boxes LOL

I found a box of all different shaped paper crimpers and I have not used a paper crimper in years, but it was the perfect touch for the window shade 🙂

I am challenging you to look through a box of supplies that you may have hidden in your closet or under your bed and see what you find and then create a masterpiece.

Loving These New Spring Critters ~ CTMH Products

Hello My Fellow Crafters,

Hope you are all having a great day.  I have been having so much fun with all these new Close To My Heart products from the Seasonal Expressions catalog.

I am really loving these new Spring Critters stamps with the coordinating Spring Critters Thin Cuts.

Look at these cute little post a note holders I created for a local craft show.  Everyone thought they were super cute.

These were so much fun to make and using the Georgie Paper Packet was the perfect background for these little critters 🙂

I can’t wait to make other paper crafts using these stamps and thin cuts.  Until next time…
