These washi panels really are a crafting game changer! Instead of buying a single ephemera pack that you can only get a set amount of cards from, these washi panels really give you a bang for your buck!
Using this Berries & Blossoms PinkFresh Studio washi panel and coordinating die, I always layer the washi onto 100lb card stock to give my images more strength for layering.
The hot foiled the sentiment was perfect for this card as it tied in the gold accents on the die cut images.
When I first started crafting I was intimidated by die sets that had lots of little pieces. I have grown my skills, but I still challenge myself.
This set is easy to cut, but. I got a little overwhelmed trying to choose a color palette. So, I decided to just recreate the project that was shown on the card for this set.
Using a mix of My Favorite Things & Spellbinders card stock, I created a direct CASE (“Copy And Share Everything”) of the product project example. The base card stock color is Sea Salt from Taylored Expressions.
Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you like it, and are inspired to create something too!
As a crafter, designing a card takes me far longer than the actual construction does. With this card, I actually made two iterations. The first I blended salvage patina distress oxide ink, and assembled my critters. But it just looked like it was missing something….
So I literally took it apart (thank goodness for Undo!) and decided to add picket fence distress pain splatters to the background. That did the trick and I was much happier with the final version.
The sentiment is a set from PinkFresh Studio – foiled in silver.
This set is one of the super versatile sets where changing the color way gives you a totally different look.
Just like in my other card I made from this set, I found adding just a hint of a stencilled background made a big difference in reducing the white space and really allowing the focus image to pop!
The MFT blue beyond card stock, ink and matching copics (B14) really have this card a whole different look than my first project with this set.
For my Mom’s birthday card this year I wanted to create something fun and whimsical; and the Donut Treats stamp and die set from Mama Elephant fit the bill perfectly!
I have always had trouble with getting the perfect shaker card completed. I either make a mess of the acetate or the shaker bits fall out or get stuck to the sides where I’ve used foam tape to create the height of the frame. So this time I was super careful and used my powder tool.
With this cool fall sweeter weather in full swing, what would be better than warm fuzzy hugs?
I used the Mama Elephant Warm Fuzzy Hugs big word die, modifies to snip off the word Warm. Die cut once with fun foam, then again with a flocked card stock, giving it a fuzzy feeling. It was just impossible to capture on camera.
Using a warm grey card stock, the background was cut from a stitched rectangle, with a brush of pumice stone distress ink to give it more dimension. Koala Hugs & Little Agenda Koala’s made a perfect addition, along with the both flowers as accents from the Tree Branch Cover die set, all from Mama Elephant as well.
Just a quick share of a card I case’d from Lawn Fawn‘s design team using the Mini String of Lights die. I didn’t have the Off Set saying sentiment stamp set, so I used Cheery Christmas instead.
This was easy to create, but a little time consuming to do all the paper piecing. If you’re on the fence about getting this die – do it! There is so much you can do with it, and with the smaller scale you can use it as an accent to so many holiday themed cards!

It’s been a while since I shared with you all my work – I have been posting on my facebook page, but I have been a bad blogger 😦
SO – here is my first project back from my hiatus: Elizabeth Craft Jinks the Monkey die along with Karen Burniston’s Banana’s For You coordinating stamp set.
It’s been a while, so I wanted to make sure I started the New Year off right by getting more of my creations posted for you all!
One big change you will notice: I will always now be posting the measurements of all cardstock & pieces used on my cards! I know it’s super frustrating for me when I go to case a really cool card I found, only to not be able to recreate it just so because my proportions or measurements are off.
So – if you like my work, and you want to recreate it, I will make it easy & fun to do so! All I ask is that you link to the original post or tag me from Facebook, Twitter or Instagram 🙂
Without further ado – here is a really cute, and easy card to whip up. This card is great for a make & take event or if you need a card on the go.

As always, your comments are welcome and appreciated!
Thanks for stopping by – hope to see you again soon ❤
Eat. Sleep. Create. Repeat.
That pretty much sums up my life right now 😛
