SHOP THE NEW RELEASE ON FRIDAY APRIL 26TH AT 10AM EST!

My first card for today features one of my personal favorites from the new collection – the brand new Party Hat Die! It also has a matching Stencil! I used the Party Hat Die along with the lovely Make A Wish dies and the Twisted Crepe Dies. I really love this card! I chose colors in kind of a 50's retro vibe. My finished card is an A2 white card base layered with dusty blue and then more white, with all the focus on that marvelous hat.

That big bold sentiment in gold is perfect for this hat!! die cut out a bunch of hats in different colors and then hand cut the stripes and it came out cool. You can do so many things with this die! Tags for gifts, cards, a banner…. I'm going to be using it a lot!

The topper on the hat is SUPER fun! I used gold glitter cardstock and teal cardstock and then I painted gold paint on it. It looks really cool in person! A big yellow gem in the center makes it! I used a corner rounder to continue that retro vibe and attached my streamers in matching colors….

Warning – my next card is going to make you hungry for a treat!! Yay! This second card for today features the brand new What's The Scoop Stamps and Dies! The mostest perfectest ice cream set ever!! You can also use it with the new Honeycombs (more to come on that))!! My finished card is a white A2 card base layered with my new favorite gingham and vellum and more!! I created a happy, minty card. Of course totally inspired by Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream! Yum.

The dies that spell out SCOOP are so cool!!!!! I love the frosting pieces that go on top of the letters!! I used mint green and rich chocolate brown shades for my card, I die cut out all the pieces and then used Distress inks to shade all the pieces before splattering on white paint!!

The die set also comes with the cherry on top! It's delicious! I assembled my cone and used brown enamel dots to make 3D chocolate chips. I want to lick this card!! I stamped the sentiment onto a little flag. I used two sizes of arches to make the frame for my cone and sentiment.

A couple of little red hearts for a pop of color…

You can use any colors to make your own favorite flavor of ice cream! I was also thinking how cute this would be in pink and brown for strawberry ice cream!

My third card for today is very fun and also interactive!!! Betsy has come out with new colors of Honeycomb Balls! In pretty party colors! Yippeeeee! Don't worry, they fold flat for mailing! Betsy thought of everything! My finished card is an A2 card base layered with coral stripes and white cardstock to feature those honeycomb balloons! The suite is called Hey Honeycomb!! (Is anyone else thinking of the Honeycomb Hideout right now?! Hee hee). I used Hey Honeycomb Basics, Sentiments and Balloon dies!

I used the brand new It's Your Day die for the sentiment again, this time in silver!! I love the coral and blue honeycomb balls to make this party card. The honeycombs fold flat and then the recipient fluffs them up. Isn't this so cool???

Silver strings, crystal gems, tiny hearts, and silver metallic paint splatters complete this look! I even paint splattered the balls!

And finally – the super cool part!!! Stamps and dies that show the person how to fold open the interactive parts! Oh, and those little hearts?? They're adhesive! So the honeycombs stay put!! Great idea Betsy!

My third card today is another interactive card!! I had lots of fun with this new release! This card features the brand new Award Winning Dies! My finished card is an A2 card base, layered with an ink blended panel, and then my sweet little award. I made it such that the award comes off the card! My thought was that the birthday guy or gal could wear it on their shirt on their special day! Or pin it on their bulletin board or cubicle wall! It has a pin back on it – you'll see as I go along. The new dies make the prettiest layered ribbon/award!! SOOOOO many uses for this! Prizes, cards (think grad for sure), banners, and more. The new Inflated Sentiments stamps fit perfectly inside that top circle. Genius!

I used stripes and gingham and gold and stars and MORE! This is a sparkly creation!! Hee hee.

I die cut two sets of the bottom flags and layered them…. No end to the possibilities with this die set!

Here is a look down from the top of the card. I attached a pin back to the back of the award and then attached it to the card using a zig zag circle that I hole punched two holes in. FUN!

And here is my detached from the card award!!

That's it friends! It's been a pleasure sharing the CONFETTI ENCORE Collection new release with you! Thank you for your support and kind comments – and for sharing my enthusiasm for The Greetery. We all love The Greetery! Have a great day! Happy Shopping tomorrow!! XOXO

The Greetery – Confetti Encore Collection – Day One! It’s a Party!

Hello, my creative, talented and crafty friends! It's a gooooood day today! It's time for a fun, happy, awesome, party themed new release from The Greetery! The Greetery is celebrating their FIVE year anniversary this month! How amazing is that? Feels like yesterday when I got the email from Betsy telling me of her new business and asking me to join the fun! So honored to have been on this journey! So I feel like that calls for a party! The new release is called Confetti Encore Collection!! It's everything for celebrations – birthdays, graduations, parties, or any other fun occasion. You're gonna be in the mood to shake it and dance, and eat cake and ice cream after you see everything!! The design team will be sharing products and projects today and tomorrow, and then the new release will be available for shopping on Friday, April 26th at 10am EST. So glad you're here to join me in the fun today.

SHOP THE NEW RELEASE FRIDAY, APRIL 26TH, AT 10AM EST!

I will be sharing three cards today, and four cards tomorrow. All seven cards are birthday cards! We can never have enough birthday cards on hand, right? Two of my cards are interactive too! I used tons of colors, and fun papers to make it a par-tay. Lots of inspiration from the entire team for the next two days!! My supplies, prize information, and links to everyone's blogs are all at the bottom of this post. Let's get started!

Each of my cards this time has a completely different vibe and style. I love it. I really got into the colors this time around and had fun with all the new stamps, stencils and dies. My first card for today features the brand new addition to the Four Square Tags series – Birthday! I used the new stamps along with the Four Square Dies, and some other Greetery favorites. My finished card is an A2 kraft card base. I layered paper from my stash with a vintage color palette and gold….

As you can see, this time around, I didn't make FOUR Four Square tags…. I made ONE! So this is cool – I didn't cut my paper into a square first, so I could make a longer tag from the die! I made one cream tag with the criss cross top for the focus point of my card. I used cream cardstock for that vintage look. I inked the edges with Distress Ink…. I used the gorgeous Ticker Tape Stamp to stamp the confetti on the tag and then generously splattered gold paint. My sentiment is from the brand new Four Square Tags Birthday set and I heat embossed in gold….

I used the Loopy Bow Die to make the pretty bow for the top of my tag. I had some paper flowers in my stash that fit the theme…. And lovely pink pearls to complete the look. This card is very girlie!

I attached the tag to the card using foam tape and also attached the sentiment with foam tape! I do love that dimension!

Now….for a totally different look! For my second card I used the brand new Celebration Streamers Stencils and Stamp combo and the brand new It's Your Day die! I made a rainbow! This new set is very cool! My finished card is an A2 white card base, with just one more layer of white featuring the design. The stamp/stencil combo is neat – you stencil the streamers on first and then use the matching stamps to add the darker shaded portion so it looks so realistic! To make it a rainbow, I carefully used small blending brushes to change colors for each streamer! (My ink colors and fav blending brushes are linked at the bottom of my post).

This is a cool one layer card – perfect for mailing! I used the new dies for the sentiment in gold and vellum. Super sparkly and festive!!

Lots and lots of gold paint splatters here!! And a few gems and stars too!!

And my last card for today features the brand new Flourished Phrases – Birthday!! If you loved the LOVE and HELLO versions, you're going to love the birthday version! My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with a new gingham paper pad I just got (You need it) and then my focus layer with the design. The matching die for this stencil is perfection and so detailed. Fantastic!! I used pretty shades of aqua and yellow.

Here's my tip for getting the die cutting perfect on this one – because of the swirls…. I inked the words first in shades of aqua and teal (LOVE)! Then I die cut it out. After it was die cut, I went back and stenciled the yellow swirls onto the already die cut part!! I added glitter to the words for sparkle!!

For the background, I stamped some starbursts from the Make a Wish stamp set in yellow and then added gems. This card could be stamped in annnnny colors to make it feminine, masculine, mod, vintage, whatever the mood!!

That's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with the rest of the new release! Thank you for your support and kind comments – and for sharing my enthusiasm for The Greetery. We all love The Greetery! Have a blessed and happy day! See you tomorrow for the rest of the party! XOXO

The Greetery – Cheerful Spring Tulips!

Hi there my creative and crafty friends! Happy Friday! It's my turn up on The Greetery Blog today to share a project with you! And of course, to share here too! I am always so excited and happy to share with you. Happy April! Hope you had a nice Easter and are enjoying a lovely Spring so far. Our weather has been psycho! It was almost 80 on Tuesday here and now it's back in the mid 50's! Rain, sun, we've had it all the past week. Spring for sure… For today's card I was inspired by the garden and the blooming flowers! We already have lots of tulips blooming at our house and so I created a tulip card for you in shades of pink and yellow…

My finished card is an A2 white card base. I layered yellow polka dot patterned paper and then a crisp white layer for my tulips. I used the gorgeous Botanicuts Tulips dies of course! The sentiment is from the All Occasion stamp set and I heat embossed it in gold for a classy look. Perfect Spring colors – yellow and pink! I made a big bountiful bouquet!

Here's a side view of my layers and the dimension in those cool tulips dies….

I started this card by die cutting all of the tulips and leaves pieces. I added shading to each piece using Copic Markers before assembling all the flowers. After the flowers were completed, I splattered on some artistic white paint. I arranged the tulips into a big bouquet and affixed everything to the card using foam pop dots.

I stamped and heat embossed the pretty sentiment using gold embossing powder and then die cut it out using the matching dies. I used the Fit To Be Tied die to create a bow for my bouquet from kraft cardstock. Lastly, I added a few golden yellow gems to finish off my card.

CLICK HERE for today's supply list!

This card would be great for any occasion. I do love a nice "thinking of you" card, don't you? You could change the colors of the tulips to match your favorite colors, too. Would be super pretty in bright red don't you think?!

That's it for my project for today! I hope you have a fantastic and creative day! I look forward to sharing with you again soon. In the meantime, happy crafting! Have a great weekend! We are going to see the Goo Goo Dolls in concert tomorrow night and I am so excited! XOXO

Happy (Good) Friday! Mr. Rabbit is ready for Easter!

Hello and Happy Friday! Happy GOOD Friday! Easter weekend is upon us! I have time to squeeze in one more Easter card today! Hope you had an awesome week and I'm wishing you a lovely Easter with your family and friends. Easter came so fast this year! I don't prefer it when Easter is in March – it seems like it just happens too fast! Well, ready or not it's here! And then on Monday it's already April!! Spring crafting continues!

My card for today features a wonderful new stamp set from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous release just in time for Spring this year. I have seen soooo many great cards and projects people have made with the new set!! The new stamp set is called Mr. Rabbit and it's the sweetest vintage bunny wearing a suit (of course), and the stamp set comes with different accent elements. I got out all my Tim Holtz supplies and created a vintage style Easter card in pretty blues…. My finished card is an A2 kraft card base, layered with plaid, and blue, and then cream. I added tons of stuff to this card, as I love to do!!

I started my card by stamping the bunny image in brown ink three times! I stamped him once on the cream rectangle panel, then twice more on scrap paper. I fussy cut out one bunny, and then fussy cut out his suit lapels and his bow tie. I colored the bunny image with Copic Markers and added glitter to his ears. The reason I stamped him on the cream rectangle first is so that the whiskers would show. I was worried I wouldn't be able to fussy cut them perfectly!

I die cut out an oval using the Tim Holtz Vintage Labels Dies and stamped Happy Easter in brown ink.

I stamped two Easter eggs in brown ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I also used a generous amount of glitter to make them look like sugared eggs! SOOO fun!

The flowers are from a Tim Holtz ephemera pack and I loved the blue tones for this card!! All the pieces are inked around the edges with Distress Ink!! I also added glitter to the flowers (you know me!)

I hand dyed some crinkle ribbon using different colors of Distress Inks. I wrapped the ribbon around the bottom of my card when assembling, and tied a pretty bow!!

The most fun part I think is that I made him a REAL flower boutonniere! Ha! I have Baby's Breath flowers all around my house right now as part of my Easter decorations. I snipped off a few tiny flowers and made him a flower spray for his suit jacket!! Hee hee. I wrapped a tiny strip of blue paper around the stems to hold them in place. They will dry out and look vintage!!

Okay, I think that's all the elements! Now, for my assembly process…. I stamped the polka dots in the background on my cream panel (the polka dot stamp is part of the new stamp set). I used foam tape to adhere the rabbit onto the card. Then I glued on his coat lapels and bow tie. I tucked the flowers under the rabbit and I placed the eggs near the bow. The sentiment is also attached with foam tape at the top of the card. I glued on his boutonniere and added a few sparkly blue gems.

Here's a close up of my layers. The plaid paper is from a (many) years old paper pack in my stash….

Happy Good Friday. The most important day. I took this photo the other day in front of our church because the clouds were spectacular! I feel like this photo conveys the mood and importance of this somber day.

Thanks for stopping by today! Thanks for your support and kindness. Again, wishing you and your family a lovely Easter!! XOXO

Mini cloche project for Easter!

Hi friends! Hopping in today with a quick project to share! I gotta get all these Easter things shared!! Just a few more days. Hope you are having a great week! When I made my pop up bunny cards the other day, I had some Anna Griffin supplies left over on my desk and I got an idea! Let's make a home decoration! I used a pretty mini cloche that I have had (empty) in my craft room for a while. I put in some stickers, added some glitter and a bow, and there we have it! Done! It came out so pretty and I will put it away with the Easter decorations for every year. I am kind of obsessed with cloches and the cool ideas that people have for how to decorate them. So this project was right up my alley. I will be looking at my crafting supplies a bit differently now! Ha. Wishing you well…today and every day.

Here are some photos of my finished project…

I die cut a cross from gold paper and put it inside next to the bunny and flowers. I added a bright spring green bauble to the top using a bit of hot glue.

I added some hand dyed blue ribbon to the bottom to match the blue ribbon around the bunny's neck. It's very sweet!

That's it for me for today! I'll be back on Friday with one last Easter card! I hope you'll hop back then! Have a fantastic day! Would you consider supporting my blog content by clicking on the links below?! XOXO

Super fun Spring Cross Stitch Project! I stitched a project bag!

Hello there my friends! Happy Monday! Oh man, we had such a nice weekend!! Friday we went to the big Sewing/Crafting Show here in Sacramento and it was really fun to walk around a craft show (I reallllly miss Stamp Shows!). I bough some cute felt patterns and an embroidery book and it was great to hang with the crafty crowd. Yesterday was literally the most gorgeous spring day and church for Palm Sunday was good. I’m in the mindset for Holy Week for sure. Last night our church hosted the band For King & Country and it was AMAZING!! We got a fantastic concert, a Q&A session, and a preview of their new movie that comes out next month.

Now, it’s a new week and we have lots of crafty goodness to get to! I’ll be sharing a lot this week. Today I’m sharing a super duper fun cross stitch project that I finished recently. It’s very cool, very pretty, and very easy! A great project to get back into cross stitching if you’re thinking about it. I absolutely love it! It’s a project bag (plaid/gingham of course) that I cross stitched a pattern onto! Yeah! FUN. And now I can proudly carry it around with me and use it. It makes me smile. I’ll show you the project and then kind of talk about it as we go through the photos today. Supplies are all listed at the bottom of my post!

Here is a shot of the finished bag! The bag size is approx 13″ x 10″ and it has a gusset at the bottom, so it holds a lot of items. Easily holds a full size pattern, a hoop, threads, scissors, etc. The bag is rigid and very nice quality. I chose my own color of bag and also switched up the colors in the pattern. You could use any colors – to make it your own style.

I experimented with different thread counts – and ended up using DMC floss – all SIX strands. I also stitched over two on those big chunky stitching holes. It was SO easy to stitch in this big size and scale! The only slightly awkward part was stitching inside a bag! But it really went quickly.

Here’s a close up of the stitches and the holes in the ‘fabric’ of the bag. Using six strands of floss really makes it pop!!

Here is a photo of the pattern. As you see, I used an aqua bag and also changed up almost all of the colors. I like the original one, and I also like my customized one too.

Love these cute little Spring lambs!!

If you look at the pattern, you’ll see that I changed some things around here and there…. Don’t be afraid to make your piece your own! The bag has a nice big zipper to secure your goodies inside.

And a three inch gusset in the bottom…. I will be using this for a cross stitch project bag, but really you could use it for travel, or anything else!

This project has many variations! CLICK HERE to see all the different project bag colors! CLICK HERE to see all the different bag patterns! I already bought the orange bag and the Autumn Pattern and the red bag and the Flag Pattern. I think I may actually end up doing all of them! I absolutely adore this project and I hope you make one too! You can get everything at my favorite online Cross Stitching Shop!

Have a great Easter week!! I’ll be back a few times with some final projects for the holiday!! Happy crafting, friends! XOXO

Bunny Pop Up Easel cards for Easter 2024!

Hi creative and crafty friends! Happy weekend! I hope you have a fun weekend planned! Yesterday we went to the Sewing Expo here in Sacramento and enjoyed a day out and about. It was mostly sewing and quilting things but I generally just enjoy being around crafting so it was nice. Tomorrow night we're going to a concert at church, and then it will be one week until Easter! Our weather turned a bit and it's cloudy and rainy again, but hey, that's spring around here!!

Today's post has a TON of pictures! I made four cards and I'm sharing lots of pictures of all four cards because each one is similar, and yet very different. And we know I love the details! I recently bought the Bunny Easel Dies set from Anna Griffin and it makes the most perfect Easter cards! I loooooooved making them! I usually buy my Anna Griffin items from HSN or direct from her website. As far as I know, everything is still available (for next year….)

I made a quick little video of the cards too – if you want to take a look – here's the link!

Each finished card folds into an A7 envelope (5"x7") and I chose pastel pink envelopes which looks so nice!! The main die that does the folding part is a very long die, so you will need the extra long cutting plates for your die cutting machine. After I die cut the bases, I went to town mixing and matching colors and embellishments…. I also used some other Anna Griffin Dies/Embossing Folders to make the crosses. All the flowers and sentiments are from AG also.

I used loads of papers from my scrapbook paper stash! I used pretty florals and ginghams of course. I used metallic paper and also cream cardstock for the bunnies. Really just mixed and matched without too much effort or analysis.

I combined pearl embellishments and ribbons from my stash too! I'm trying to use everything! LOLZ. (Are you in that same boat??!)

Each card is sooooo different! They all fold up and then the bottom tucks into the labels so it stands up straight for display!

I embellished the bottom part of each card too. I splattered on gold paint everywhere!! And clear diamond Stickles… and and and…. Hee hee.

I love these 3D flower embellishments and added glitter to most of them…

OOOOOHHHHH those lilies!!! And the gorgeous fonts…

The die cut for the top layer bunny is SO incredibly detailed and pretty.

I put some pink art chalk on this one for her ears and cheek. If there's one thing I hoard more than paper…it's ribbon!!

And here is a side view of what the bunny looks like when standing up tall! Be sure to use double sided cardstock for a polished/finished look.

And here is one of the cards laying flat for mailing.

And here are all four cards folded up before I put them in the envelopes!

These dies are really gorgeous and fun to work with. I feel like I could have made twenty cards, just mixing and matching all the pretty elements. I love Easter time and the motifs and colors of the season. I was able to customize each one in my own unique style and it was a very nice day in the craft room creating these to share with you! Are you all ready for Easter? Are you hosting? Let me know your favorite Easter craft this year – I'd love to know what you're making!! XOXO

Cute Carrots for Easter Treats!

Hi again! It's me! Back with some more Easter fun! I'm trying to get everything photographed and posted before next week! Loving all the fun Easter things this year. Our house is totally decorated for Easter. Sunday night For King and Country is doing an acoustic concert at our church and we got tickets!! And we have our schedule all set for our church activities for Holy Week. It's time to get ready for our most important holiday… I'm so excited. Seriously, tho, how fast did Easter come this year???!! Today I'm sharing some very easy treat boxes to make for Easter. I used the new Lawn Fawn Carrot Treat Box dies to make some festive and super cute paper carrots! These are perfect for place settings for your Easter table, or filled with candies for a little treat in the Easter basket!! You guys know how much I love a fun treat box idea! Let's get started!

Here are three of my carrots…ADORABLE! Fun concept, and again, soooo easy to make and customize!

In my continuing efforts to use my paper stash, I used two older paper pads from Lawn Fawn (discontinued)… The Perfectly Plaid Fall and the Let's Polka in the Meadow… You could use solid paper, gingham, polka dots, or any other cute paper that you love! You need an orange paper and a green paper for the leaves. That's it!

To make each carrot, you need two carrot pieces and two leaf pieces. They go together with just a bit of scor-tape. I added green sheer ribbon to the tops and I used some cute dies to add hearts on the front. My supplies are all listed at the bottom of this post.

I used green distress ink to add some splatters to the leaves. I used orange distress ink and white paint to add splatters to the carrot parts. I just like a little visual interest and the appearance of texture….

These are fairly small in size – here is one in my hand. So you could really only fit a very small gift inside! Or of course, candies!! Mine are filled with Cadbury Eggs – my favorite!

That's today's fun Easter project!! Are you getting ready for Easter? Do you make treats or cards for Easter time? Let me know in the comments what you're working on!! I have more to come in the next week. Have a blessed day everybody! XOXO
