New Easter card

eastercard1I have this cute digi from Saturated Canary and I just knew I had to use if on some Easter cards. I am so thrilled how this card came out. I also like when I use a lot of products that have been in my possession for a very long time with little or no use. Such is the case with this burlap paper. I bought this over a year ago at Joann’s and never used it. I thought of the idea of trying to cut it with my spellbinders. So I picked simple shapes and with a few pass overs, I was able to make the cut.  I haven’t tried cutting it on my Silhouette but if it cuts it, I am going to be one happy girl. eastercard2The burlap paper makes me think of an Easter basket or hay so I thought it would be a nice accent on the card. I like the texture it adds.  It is on sale now at Joann’s if you want to give it a go. I hope my sister-in-law isn’t reading because I put it in the mail today and I would hate to ruin the surprise.

Have a blessed day!

Happy Monday: New card reveal

friendship2Hello Everyone! Happy Monday! OMG…it is beautiful today. Right now it is 65 degrees outside and it is sunny. I have my window open in my craft room and I can hear all the birds singing. I get so happy this time of year when the days are longer and the temperature rises. Right now, I am experiencing a book crazy and reading. reading and did I mention reading?  I just can’t get enough books. So I think I may head out to my deck after this post and do just that.  But first, I must share my lastest card.

I made this friendship card and I used my new embossing folder and added a doily for even more texture to the card.  I used my copics to color up the image and some glitter glue to add a little something, somethin’ to the flowers.

friendship1I decide to just show the colors I use in a pencil jar I borrowed from the boys.   I had fun coloring these snapdragons. They are one of my favorite flowers in the garden. I will share pictures when mine bloom.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I did and look forward to a fun week of crafting and reading. The next thing to distract me from my craft table will be my garden, another love. I am so torn…

Have a blessed day!

Some Bunny Loves You…

somebunny1

I found this cute card in the Silhouette store (#56692). I am pretty sure that my boys will love them.  I used some Stickles on the tails and heart for sparkle.  I also like that it didn’t require me to use too many different pieces of paper. I now find myself looking at how many different papers I will need when I pick out designs to cut on the Silhouette. It isn’t that is takes long, I just don’t always feel like doing it. I have been using a lot of scraps when necessary to avoid cutting only a little out of a whole sheet (hold please…the hoarder speaking right now!).

somebunny2I also changed the words to a print and cut so that I didn’t have to bother messing around with little letters and adhering them to the paper. I will have to show a tutorial on how to do that on one of my Silhouette Sundays.

Well I am off to run some errands. One in particular, to buy the boys something nice to wear for school photos. Don’t ask when the photos are being taken…yup..tomorrow.  I don’t know why I wait until the last minute.

Have a blessed day my friends.

Happy Monday: New ‘Congrats’ cards!

congrats1Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend and ready for a new week filled with opportunities to learn something new.  I created something new – some congrats cards. I am discovering that I have not been making as much variety in my cards and so I am challenging myself to branch out.  I made these two cards using my Silhouette and will add them to my ‘family and friends’ card box. I am trying to make sure I keep up with stocking up on these as well as cards for my shop.  I bought these cards from SVG Cuts.

congrats2

Another great thing about making these cards is that I am using up more paper which we all know I tend to hoard.  I have been doing some spring cleaning in my craft room and found some beauties that I am finally using and some that I need to part with that I don’t like anymore.  I am also trying to challenge myself that anything I buy now, I must use within 2 weeks of purchase. I’ll let you know how that goes.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Belinda
