Some Bunny Loves You

My creativity mojo is visiting today so I decided to take advantage and create this card using my cute stamp set from Lawn Fawn called Snow Day. This stamp set is so versatile and is just not meant for winter or Valentine-themed card. You can also use this for your spring-themed cards, or create a “Just-Because” card like this one.

The idea to make this card actually came to me while my daughter and I were having our little heart-to-heart talks. She is currently visiting for two weeks during her school break. I am really enjoying our time together. During one of our talks, I realized that the shy, little girl I once drove to school every day, has now turned into this beautiful, intelligent, amazing woman. It’s actually making me a bit emotional just writing this Blog, LOL! Wait, where was I going with this? Oh, right! During one of our “talks”, she mentioned to me that her boyfriend calls her “Bunny”. I don’t know about you but I think sometimes we, as crafters, get our crafting ideas out of the blue. I even have them while I’m in bed trying to get some sleep (note to self: put a little notebook by the bed stand). I thought about the stamp set that I recently purchased from Lawn Fawn and started crafting today.

My daughter’s favorite color is purple. I wanted this ‘just because” card to look really subtle but sweet at the same time. I think I’ve achieved this by combining the pinks and the lilac with a soft mint-green and a darker aquamarine ink to create the trees in the background. What do you guys think?

I hope I somehow inspired you to get your creative juices flowing and start crafting. Here’s to a great weekend!

Lawn Fawn Love You Tons Shaker Card

While I was back home, I managed to do some shopping and acquired a lot of Lawn Fawn stamps. Lawn Fawn is currently one of my favorites. I am also currently obsessed with Copic Markers (although I am still a novice when it comes to blending, but I am trying my best!).

I wanted to make a fun and simple shaker card so I decided to play with my Love You Tons stamp set from LF, and my new Peek-A-Boo die from Pretty Pink Posh (also just recently acquired from my shopping trip). I love all the colors that I have used for this card. I think simplicity is the key to a great card. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Happy crafting!

Pop-Up Card

I have created this card for Mother’s Day. Unfortunately, I was not able to post it here on my Blog because my hubby and I traveled back home to Orlando to see our family, and move our daughter out of her dorm. It has been a busy month of May so far for me. I apologize for neglecting this Blog but I promise to post more regularly from now on.

This card is perfect not only for Mother’s Day but for any occasion. I hope that you will give it a try. I would love to hear from you if you did.

Happy Crafting!

Simple Valentine Wreath

I decided to repurpose an old grapevine wreath.  I gave it some major TLC by cleaning it first and spray-painting it white to make it look new again.
