Happy Birthday, for a Guy!

For us card makers, we all know it is harder to make cards for guys.

I came up with a great, fun card for a guy though!

I used the scrapbook paper as my inspiration and built off of that.

I cut and glued that down.

I then ran washi tape across the top and the bottom of the card.

I took a tag and added a mustache sticker and stamped "sending you birthday wishes".

I then added 3D dots on the back and placed it on the center of the card.

I had some cute tiny washers that worked perfect with this card,

so I used glue dots and adhered three on either side of the card!

Ta da, a great guy card!

This card, and many more, are available in my Etsy shop

My project is an Easter card that I made for my boyfriend
I like to make him a card for every holiday!

I kept this card fairly simple, focusing on the fun orange heart background.

I used my Cricut and the Give a Hoot cartridge to cut the bunny out.

I adhered chicken stickers that oddly resemble peeps! :)

They are kind of in a line, marching on for Easter, to go along with the title sticker, "Easter Parade".

Christmas Poinsettia Cards

Christmas is right around the corner! It is hard to believe it is December already. Time sure flies by!

I have been working on a lot of Christmas projects lately - between trying to get presents made for Christmas, participating in events online, and trying to create stock for my Etsy shop.

The following is a set of Christmas poinsettia cards that I made.

Each card has a Christmas themed decorative background with a ribbon running across the length of the card. The card is then decorated with a reddish burgundy flower that has gold glitter. The flower is accented with a gold brad.

This set of cards is available for purchase in my Etsy shop

The project I created is one that I remember seeing my Mom do when I was younger. I created Christmas ornaments out of styrofoam balls, ribbon, sequins, seed beads, and sequins pins.

You wrap the ribbon around the styrofoam ball twice, creating four quadrants, and you create a loop with one of your pieces of ribbon. You then proceed to fill the empty spaces with sequins pins that have a seed bead and a sequin on them.

The following are ones that I have created for Christmas gifts this year.
