So Tiny, So Precious...

Hey there! I'm back from my trip to Stampin' Up!'s Backstage leadership event in New Orleans. I had such an amazing time! I'll share photos here later this week but if you can't wait until then, be sure to check out my Instagram or Facebook page to see the photos I've been sharing. Stampin' Up! really knows how to "Do it Big!" and make demonstrators feel special and inspired! These events are one of the many reasons I absolutely LOVE Stampin' Up!

Today's project is a sweet little baby card...something I don't make very often. But, there seems to be lots of babies on the way in the upcoming months, so I'm going to need them. For this card, I paired the Hello Ladybug and Charming Sentiments Bundle with the Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper.

Welcome, So Glad You're Here

Hey there! Happy last day of Sale-A-Bration! I wanted to share one more Sale-A-Bration project with you before it ends. I've had my eye on this cute house print in the Rings of Love DSP (free with $50 spend...last day). I thought it would be perfect for a new home card or a welcome to the neighborhood. I found the sentiment in the Garden Birdhouses stamp set and thought it was perfect! I die cut the houses out of the designer paper using the Stylish Shapes dies and it really added some nice dimension to the card.

Birthday Wishes

Hey there! I have a lovely card for you today featuring the Garden Birdhouses stamp set and the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper (a Sale-A-Bration freebie with a $50 spend in my online store). I have gotten so much use of this paper, way more than I thought I would. Remember, Sale-A-Bration ends August 31st. The bird print in the DSP paired perfectly with the Garden Birdhouses stamp set. I couldn't wait to design a card combining the two.

Hope Your Day Is A Grand Adventure

Hey there! I wanted to share a tutorial with you that's a little bit different than what I normally do. I needed to create a birthday card for Q (my honey) because his birthday is at the end of this month. I decided I wanted to use the He's the Man Designer Series Paper and the Stylish Sketches stamp set, which you can still earn for free during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 spend in my Online Store. I turned my camera on and took you on my journey to create this card from scratch! I don't usually do that but the idea was in my head and I was eager to get this card created.

Hippest Hippo Customer Thank You Cards

Hey there! I'm super happy to announce the return of my monthly customer thank you cards! Yay! I had to put them on hold when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy. Once Malakai arrived, I just wasn't able to to make such a large batch of cards each month. BUT! The time is finally right and I can bring back this special part of my business. I know how much many of you really loved receiving these cards and I truly enjoyed making them. I'm so excited to get back to it!

I'm going to put up a poll on Instagram, Facebook, and probably YouTube but I would love to know...do you prefer that I write a handwritten message inside or leave the card blank for you to use for yourself? Let me know your preference in the comments below.

Dragonfly Sun Prints Pinched Gift Bag

Hey there and welcome to part 2 of last Wednesday's project. If you missed last week's project, you can find it here. Again, I used the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set and paired it with a simple pattern from the gorgeous Sun Prints Designer Series Paper. 

I tucked a minty lip shine (gloss) inside of each pinched gift bag as a special little gift for Malakai's teachers and a couple of the ladies at the front desk. I found the lip shine at Bath & Body Works. This sweet little bag is so simple to make and its just so dang cute!
