Summer inspired "Happy Birthday" card













Hello all! Today I wanted to show you a Birthday card I made. I recently made a Wedding invitation set in these same colours, which I thought looked super cheerful and summery! I just love how the Black and white looks so crisp with the yellow, and the butterfly could easily be changed to a bumblebee to match the theme:) Hope you enjoy this card as much as I do:)









I made this card for the following challenges:

Bitten by the bug 2- Use a butterfly
Anything goes challenge- Butterflies
My Pink stamper- Birthday challenge

Wedding Season is Upon Us!

Well it's that time of year again, people are getting engaged and beginning to plan their weddings. We are in full swing making invitation samples for any theme and budget. There are several samples on our facebook page, and we will be sharing more on the blog soon! I wanted to share one that I made today. It uses one of my favorite colour combinations: pink, black and white. I wanted to do a pocket style invite, which is very trendy right now and it turned out so great! I wish that I had done this for my wedding! Not only did I make this lovely invitation today, but I am super excited for my other samples that are ALMOST finished. Stay tuned for a teal blue and black, as well as a wintery red and white, and a yellow and pink country-inspired design!

Happy Crafting!

"Owl always Love you" Card!

Hello all, the middle of the week is here! Today I am sharing with you a really cute "Love" card, that I made using a tri-fold and center point on my cricut.


I had never tried out the center point feature on my cricut machine, and now I'm wondering why the heck not!? I just made my folds in the card then opened it up and stuck it on my mat. I placed my blade in the center of one of the flaps and cut. Then I just moved the blade to the center of the other flap and made a larger cut(so that you can see the smaller heart through the bigger one) it was super easy!Hope you like it! Have a great Wednesday!

This card was made for 3 challenges...

A card any Momma would "LOVE"!


Hello all, happy happy Monday! This week I've made a card for two different contests, Paper Cutz challenge using a tag, and Paper Playtime challenge using the word Love. I just love how this one turned out! This card would be great for "Mothers Day", but you could also change the word on the tag to any name that you like! Hope you like it! Have a wonderful week:)

Valentine's Day is Just Around the Corner!

Hello Everyone!

Happy Friday! I am just so excited about the paper and stamps I have for Valentine's Day cardmaking! I have made a few different card designs so far, which you can look at on our facebook page, under the Valentine's Day Cards album. This one is my favorite so far, so I thought I would share it!
I started with red and white polka dot paper (it looks a little orange, but it really is red). I wanted to do a different card structure, so I made it open out into the middle. I added some embellishments cut from my Accent Essentials and I was ready for the stamps. I got this new stamp of candy hearts that I love! I added a few other hearts here and there, a ribbon to secure it, and voila! A perfect card for your hunny, and it's only $4!

Fun Cupcake holder or favor box!

Hello all! Isn't this little guy cute!

I got my inspiration to make this cute box for a contest! This one, I was able to make anything, using the colours black, white & silver. Though the outside of the box was made, using only those three colours, The inside(I used double sided patterned paper) is a bright green with black polka dots! ...Shhh... :) I used the owl from my "create a critter" cartridge and the box is from "Cindy Loo". I would really love to get some 12 X 24 patterned paper so that I can make some bigger versions of this box. They would be very useful to store some of my craft supplies!

"So tweet" Springtime card

Hey all! Happy New Year:) Spring is just around the corner, so I thought I would bring out my lovely floral patterned papers and my Cricut machine, and make a springtime card! This one I made using the bird, branch and phrase, from my "Create a critter" cartridge. I'm just so happy with the way it turned out! Spring is in the air... or at least its cluttered all over my kitchen table;)

Happy Monday!
