Cardmaking: Easy as 1, 2, 3!

Hello, friends! I am SO excited to share my latest YouTube video series with you! It's called Easy as 1, 2, 3: Quick & Simple Cardmaking, and each time I will use 1 of something, 2 of something, and 3 of something to make a super quick and easy card! 

Check out the cards I made for this first time around...

These cards use 1 stamp set each (left is Technique Tuesday, right is Inspired By Stamping--no longer available), 2 colors of ink (from The Stamps of Life), and 3 washi tapes (from my stash)! To find out how I created this easy peasy card, click HERE! I would love to see you try to use the same guidelines to make a card, too! Share your links below or in the comments on the video!

Thanks for stopping by, friends! I hope you take some time to craft and create today! Until next time, HUGS and happy crafting!

The Rainbow Card Challenge: Radiant Ruby


Hi, all! Happy August! I hope you are all well and staying safe! This month, we decided to use a warm color for our inspiration at The Rainbow Card Challenge, and I hope you love it! This month's challenge is called Radiant Ruby! Take a peek at our fun inspiration for this month...


SO much inspiration there, don't you agree? I LOVE it! I was very inspired by the square texture down in the bottom left and the upcoming school year and autumnal season! Here's what I came up with...


I created this card with patterned paper from Stampin' Up!, liquid pearls, and a stamp set from my stash that I had almost forgotten about! I totally love how this card turned out! What do you think? I would love to hear your opinion about it in the comments below!

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!
