Layered Floral Birthday Card

Hi, friends! I am loving being on summer break so I can craft and share more! How's your summer (or winter, if you live below the equator) going? I hope it's going well! Today I have a floral birthday card to share with you today that uses *NEW* to me products and some things from my stash. Take a peek!

This card was made using the Garden Picks 3D dies from Altenew, a sentiment from the Avery Elle Magnolia stamp set, cardstock and ink from The Stamps of Life, patterned paper from Stampin' Up!, bling from my stash, and a black thin tip Sharpie for the faux stitching.

I was so pleased with how this card turned out, and the recipient also loved it! I hope you like it, too! I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Washi Tape Series: 02 Monochromatic Thank You

Hi, friends! I'm back with another card that uses some of my washi stash! This card uses the same general layout as the first card I shared, but the card orientation is different. Take a peek!

I went for a monochrome purple for this card. Both washi tapes are from my stash, the stamps, paper, and black ink are from The Stamps of Life, the ombre ink is from Hero Arts, and the bling is from Doodlebug Design.

I totally adore purple, and this is one of my favorite cards made this year! What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

TCRR #6: Neon Rainbow!!!

Hello, friends, and happy JUNE! I hope you're looking forward to a new month--I know I am! Thank you so much to everyone who played along last month at The Rainbow Card Challenge! We've been up and running for six months, so we are celebrating with a RAINBOW MONTH! Without further ado, here is this month's prompt...

Now, we usually go for monochrome, but this month we want to see NEON RAINBOW! Show us your best neon products--we are ready for them this summer! For all the details about the "rules" (there are very few), you can see the challenge post! This post is about the TWO cards I made, so take a peek...

I decided to use a technique I "discovered" a while ago. I'm sure it's been out there for a really long time, and I'm not sure what it's called, but I'm calling it "Shadow Sentiment Double Take".

I used washi tape from Doodlebug Design to create a rainbow panel, then used a sentiment die from The Stamps of Life to create the sentiment portions. The first card has some glitter paper clouds and black enamel dots added, then was framed with black cardstock. The CAS version has a stamped sentiment from Paper Smooches and a few rhinestones.

So, what do you think? Is this something you would try?! I think these cards turned out SO CUTE, and I hope you like it, too! I would LOVE for you to let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Please come and join us this month at The Rainbow Card Challenge! I LOVE seeing what everyone creates! If you're looking for even more inspiration, you should take a peek at what the other amazingly talented gals on the design team have created, too!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends! I will be back again with another challenge soon! Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping, friends!
