Happy 25th Birthday!

Hello All!

It's Brithday Week in my blog - I have lots of friends whose birthday is in the month of October. SO that means, lots of birthday cards to make and presents to buy (or make.) I'm sure, I'm not the only one with this issue. LOL.

My close friend birthday is up and it's a special one - 25! woot-woot!

So this is what I made her - I love it ! and I'm sure she is going to love it too! 

I used some washi tape, cotton twine for the tiny pom-pom (isn't cute?!), and alpha stickers from the latest of Studio112. The '25' is from a die cut, I used silver foil card stock. The base design cardstock is from an American Crafts 6x6 pack. For a final touch, I added to sequence in there - just for fun!

So Happy Birthday my friends! And for the rest of you, I hope you enjoy your weekend - birthday or no birthday, make it a special one!

I hope this has inspired you to create beautiful things. Remember you can follow me via Pinterest, Twitter, Bloglovin, and Tumblr.

Bicycles Are Cool !

Hello All!

I love bicycles in the paper crafting world. They can be used for so many things from encouraging someone to keep peddling or 'enjoy the ride'. The bicycle is so universal - I think you can get away with using it almost anywhere.

The following are cards that where created for Cards for Hospitalized Kids. Can you spot the bicycles? lol

I love simple cards! As you can see - sometimes simple can mean so much for someone who has so much going on in their lives. For this card, I used a 'college font' stamp from Inkadinkado. Washi tape on top of washi  tape to make it more unique. Yes - I have a bicycle washi, it's actually from SCOTT! Love it!! For a some fun finishing touch, I added some gems in the bottom.

I have soo many bicycle stamps - it's not even funny! LOL! But I LOVE them! For this card I used a bicycle stamp from Studio G. The brave stamp from Studio G and some washi tape from Recollections. Aren't those arrows cute?

I hope this inspires you to create some cards today! Do you have a favorite stamp or washi? Leave a comment below.

Same Materials, Different Outcomes Cards

Hello All!

I hope all is well!

The goal of this post is to show that one does not need lots of materials in order to create different and beautiful cards. The following cards where created using less than five materials. I used an embossing folder, washi tape, a dollar stamp (which I LOVE), and ink pads.

This a simple cute little card. The clouds where created using an embossing folder and the Cuttlebug machine. The white around the cloud edges was created by lightly dabbing a white ink stamp pad. I added some encouragement at the bottom corner of the card by using a stamp from Studio G. I love washi tape, so I added one of my favorite polka-dotted washi.

I used the same materials for this card, but different outcomes - both cards beautiful, inspiring, and fun.

These cards where created for Cards for Hospitalized Kids.  I hope these cards  inspire you to create something beautiful for this wonderful organization or even for a friend that needs some encouraging boost.

Father's Day Card

Hello all!

I hope all is well with you and yours. Just a quick post to show you a super-quick DIY Father's Day Card.

I used dark 'manly' colors for the card. Used some golden/copper washi tape to give it some sparkle and yet keep it in the 'daddy department' lol. The stamp is by TPC Studio. The stamp set includes this pretty hot balloon stamp as well as some quotes, which I used for the inside of the card.

 

I hope you all have a beautiful weekend! Happy Father's Day to all the daddies out there!

Hugs, 

Rosie
