Happy Heart Day treats!

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone!
I have a quick post for you today!


I made these quick Valentine's treats for a friend of mine's girls -
I used some felt owl stickers from Micheals and the topper
dies are from Jaded Blossom -
The Pattern paper is old SU Papers
and I can't remember where the "Happy Heart" Stamp is from
I threw in some yummy kisses and there ya go! :)



Have a Beautiful Day!

Acetate Xmas Trees...

Hello and Happy Last day of January Everyone!!
Well, we ALL made it through our first month of the New Year! YAY
Before you know it, Spring will be here! YYAASSSS!!! 😊

I've got a Christmas card to show ya using foil -


I bought those Acetate Toner sheets from Deco foil (awhile ago) and had these all
foiled up in assorted colors of course - Since I only got this one
completed, I thought I would show it - 

I have to say I'm a little disappointed in the PEARL FOIL -
That is what I used on those trees - now up close and in person 
you can see the foil, but other than that, it looks like I've got
black silhouette trees (nothing wrong with that) but that
wasn't what I was going for! LOL

I colored the backside of the acetate to add some color to the
trees and that turned out cute - but I gotta say I love the
other colors I got on my other trees - I just need to turn them
into cards first before sharing! 😁

The toner sheets are great for those of you who don't have a laser printer
And the acetate ones are just fun for trying something different!
They ALL HEAT FOIL BEAUTIFULLY!  (trust me I got a bunch!)


I hope you all have a FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!

All my love...

Hello and Happy Thursday Crafty Peeps!
I have a super quick card to share today!

This is another Foiled card I made using what I had
sitting here on my desk - The design was
from the Silhouette store and I
printed it out on my Brother Laser Printer - 


Foiled cards are hard to photo - so I took the best 2 I had to show ya - 


This was so quick and easy to do, I did use a stitched rectangle frame die
and added some clear gems to add a little somethin' somethin'!
It's popped up on some fun foam and adhered to a Grey Card Base - 



Have a BEAUTIFUL DAY!!

Feel Better Foiled...

Hello & Happy Tuesday Everyone!
I haven't shared a Foiled card in quite some
time and thought today would be the day to fix that! 

I actually have several foiled projects sitting here on my desk
waiting to get used up. So on the weekend
I took some time to put a couple of cards together -

Here's one using Digital images from :



The Digital set is called - Floral Flourish Background 3


There is a Positive & Negative image and I've actually
foiled 2 different cards using this set in different colors
The other card I'll share later - 😁

I also wanted to Enter the Challenge over at:
Cut it Up Challenge - Get Well Soon



Have a FABULOUS DAY!!!

A Winter Wave...

Happy Friday Everyone! I'm so glad it's the weekend!
What a rough week! I need this weekend to decompress
from the crazy week I've had! 

As I've mentioned before I will continue to make holiday
cards throughout the year - it really is easy to do -
My stuff is not hiding anywhere - I have easy access to
holiday papers, dies, stamps, etc... and I like it that way -
cuz I don't know about you but for me... sometimes I just want to make
a Halloween card in February! Or a Thanksgiving card in June
because an idea came to me - 

We don't have to create according to the calendar! 
We create what our hearts want when it wants it -
I know you guys feel me on this one! 💗

With all that being said... I made these cards


How stinking cute are these?? I love the mix and match hats! hahaha


So I pulled out my SSS snowman die and die
cut out all the pieces to this guy and decided to
make 2 of them mixing the hat colors (why Waste them) Right?


The paper is extra from a doodlebug 6x6 pack and
the sweet sentiment fits perfectly with the snowman theme!


Have a beautiful weekend!!!

Kindness....

Happy Thursday Everyone! I'm so glad it's a short week!

I'm making this a short post (I hope)

Basically, my card speaks for itself -


With ALL the nasty drama of family, I wish this sentiment 
was something they would see/hear/read/understand!

But none the less I believe in it and I was pleased
with how this turned out -

I started with a foiled card front I got from Tuesday Morning
a few months back - it was a pack of cards with different
foiled designs on it which I thought would be perfect to
"dress up" - I blended 3 different Distress Oxide ink colors
and then wiped the ink off of the card front foil 
and this beautiful piece emerged - 

I didn't want to take away from the background so I
just added the "kindness" word cut out in Silver
foil and added a simple sentiment to go along with it -
I punched out a tiny heart in the same silver foil and
added a tiny clear gem for added pop - 


I love the colors and the sentiment -
Have a Beautiful Day!

Heart Happy...

Hello Everyone! Happy back to work day! LOL
I got back yesterday evening and we didn't get as
much accomplished as we would have liked.

Plus we ran into a few snags involving "other"
family members -  I don't want to get into
the details but they don't look good for my sister at this point
of placing her tiny home over by where we're moving -
honestly, I'm not understanding what the issues are...

My husband's parents are okay with it but there are
"other" powers that be which are involved and we're trying
to find a fair reasonable solution -  It's a headache & mess

Anywho - I have a happy card to share with you 
because I need a little happy right now!


I made this using an alcohol inked background I had
sitting here on my desk along with a "Smile" die
I added a black & white embossed strip I created awhile ago
 and a black strip with a sweet sentiment embossed in white -
I used extra pieces of the alcohol paper and a tiny heart punch 
to add just a little extra love on my card! 

It turned out so sweet! I shared the leftover Smile word pieces with you
last week on THIS CARD.


Have a Beautiful Day!
