Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects using the fantastic, new And Back Again release by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Heart Slider, Love Day

My first card using the new Heart Slider die. For the images and sentiment I used the Love Day stamp & die set. I used one of the Rotating Gliders behind the little kitty so that it can slide and rotate around the heart track.

The next to cards feature the new Basic Box Card die set.

Limited Edition Love Card Kit

January 12, 2022

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of project featuring the newest Limited Edition Love Card Kit.

Hi there! Hoping everyone’s new year is off to a good start. Today I’m sharing this serene project featuring the Sunrise Mountain Scene Stencil Set by Waffle Flower.

I have a fun reel over on Instagram showing how I created this card HERE!

In December I created another two reels while creating birthday cards for my daughters.

SSS-Organic Fruits, Holiday Sprigs, Winter Birds, Concord & 9th-Lovely Letters

This one was special because I was able to use the Organic Fruits stencil that my daughter, Bailey, designed for her card. You can check out the reel HERE!

My oldest daughter, Alex, turned 21! Holy Cannoli! I wish time would slow down just a bit, but here is the card I created for her. I love to use different alpha sets to customize birthday cards.

Kerri Bradford-Max XL Alpha, Juniper Numbers Jumbo

You can check out the reel for this one HERE! I have really been enjoying making reels lately. They are short, sweet and set to fun music. The only downfall is that there isn’t a way to link products so I get so many questions. For now I will just coordinate a blog posts to share the supply list.

Wishing everyone a healthy, safe and colorful new year!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Case Me a Christmas Card

December 2, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m joining my crafty friend, Michelle, for her Case Me a Christmas Card series. We both created cards inspired by one another for the holidays.

SSS-Kaleidoscope Medallion, Reverse From All of Us

I chose the card below, by Michelle, as my inspiration. You can check out her blog post HERE for more information on her card. Of course it was the delicious colors that drew me in to this design.

The new Kaleidoscope Medallion die from the DieCember® release was a perfect fit for this design.

SSS-Kaleidoscope Medallion, Reverse From All of Us

I blended Pawsitively Saturated inks in Sweets, Bubblegum, Cantaloupe, Sunbeam, Surf & Cadette onto white cardstock and then die cut it using a Nested Circle die.

SSS-Kaleidoscope Medallion, Reverse From All of Us

I die cut the Kaleidoscope Medallion with white cardstock and adhere tiny slivers of foam tape to the back of the die cut. Was it a labor of love? Yes. Am I crazy? I do believe I am. Was it worth it? Absolutely! For the sentiment I used one of the Reverse From All of Us Sentiment Strips.

Make sure and check out Michelle’s blog to see more of her fun Case Me a Christmas Card series! Thanks for having me, Michelle & thanks so much for stopping by!
