Friends Forever Card

Friends Forever Card

Hello everyone!

I have been meaning to post this card that I made like a month ago but it has been super busy of here! I have three children in school (at two different schools! 1 in junior high and 2 in elementary) and one child at home with me....all day!! So it has been busy with all the homework, the birthday parties, and the holidays coming up. And tons of laundry! Seriously I need a little vacation. My birthday is in January so hopefully my husband picks up these hints. 

I have not made any holiday cards....yet. But I have been making some cards that I need for birthdays or just friends..etc. It was hard to take pics of this card because it was windy and I tried to get the detail of the golden words because I used that transfer-on foil. 

Materials

• pattern card
• mulberry paper tulips
• gold transfer-on words 
• glue stick, glue gun

Friends Card with Tulips

Friends Card with Tulips

Here is another card I made using the same die-cut chipboard Friends full of glitter. I used a little rhinestone, ribbon, and two paper tulips to create the rest of my look. I am satisfied with the overall outcome! 

I hope everyone is saying some prayers (not matter what religion you are) and pray for the world. There has been so much unnecessary violence recently, horrific weather changes, and unfairness with the government that it makes if difficult to see the future for our lives. So much continues to happen and evil begins to prosper. It is sad when communities only come together when something bad happens. More 'bad seeds' continue to grow and make life difficult for those who want to be happy and live good lives. Education, income, and support needs to be the number one thing in communities to help children grow up into good people. Once someone is an adult, they are most likely not going to change. However, with children, we can guide them into the right direction so that more good people are growing up in the world. 

It is sad that we have to fear for our lives nowadays and guns are used to killing innocent lives instead of hunting for food to feed our families. It is sad when people think that their wealth should define their success or demeanor when there are hard working families who are good people but because they don't have big bank accounts, they are overlooked as worthless. 

....let's get back to my pretty card!

Materials

• patterned card
• woodchip die-cut

Friends Card with Butterflies

Friends Card with Butterflies

I would like to show you a pretty cute card I made that is full of patterns, butterflies, and glitter! The paper I used is about 3.5x6 inches. For the wooden die-cut Friends, I added it with Mod pdge and sprinkled it with tons of white glitter. Then, I added a sealant on top so that none of the glitter flakes off! The glitter stays intact and shiny! I like this, because I don't like when you get a card or crafts where the glitter ends up all over your hands! 

This is one of the few cards that I have made WITHOUT flowers!!

 

 

 

Materials

• decorative cardstock paper
• die-cut Friends
• glitter
• sealant
• blank card
• glue, scissors, rule

Just for You - An Owl Gift Tag

Just For You - An Owl Gift Tag

Hello everyone! I haven't been on blogger recently and turned out that I needed to download the Chrome browser! I don't know stuff like this haha! What's scary is that I'm young enough where I should know this stuff...how to work the internet and all. FINALLY, I can show you all a cute and super easy gift tag I made. I start making cards and gift tags around this time because in my family there are tons of August birthdays. I made this gift tag about a month ago and wanted to show it way earlier but I couldn't post anything onto my blog! 

I used a hot glue gun to glue on the wood chip Owl, but I would recommend to use some wood or mod podge glue because of all the little detailed cuts in the owl. I made the gold leaves using gold metallic embossed paper and the leaf hole puncher. It's hard to use because the paper is so thick so I had to make a few just to get the cuts right. 

Materials

• oval blank white gift tag
• wood chip (die-cut) owl
• gold metallic embossed paper
• leaf pattern hole punch
• gold transfer-on words Just for You
• glue gun, glue, wood glue, mod podge
• scissors

Thank you for visiting!!

Side Note: a thank you to everyone who posted helpful advice regarding my "blogger troubles." I also try to respond to everyone's comments, even if you guys don't receive the response or see it ever again. I only have a few followers and a few pop-in comments, but I figure I'd respond to any comments to be polite 😉

Thanks for all the help and advice because it really is helpful!!

Baby Shower Card

Baby Shower Card
Hello all!

Here is a quick example of an easy watercoloring technique I wanted to try. I am not entirely sure if I did it correctly, but the card still came out cute!

I saw the example on Instagram:
1) get a clear plastic baggy
2) color streaks on the baggy using water color markers
3) spray water  onto the baggy and place the baggy over your card and slightly smear the colors
4) use papertowels to wipe off the excess water on your card

Materials

• white card
• baby themed stickers - puffy 3D stickers
• water color markers
• clear ziplock baggy
• water spray
• paper towels
• glue stick
• black marker
