Patriotic Birthday Card

Sometimes all it takes is a star, a scrap ribbon, and a 

whole lotta cardstock 🧨

This birthday card was SO fun to create using mostly Real Red, Basic White, and Misty Moonlight cardstock. I dug into my ribbon scrap stash (because let’s be honest—we all have one), and the Dotted Circles embossing folder added just the right touch of dimension.
But that one white star in the center? Totally stole the show and brought the whole design to life.

Looking for a bold, clean birthday card idea that doesn’t require a ton of extras? This is the perfect project to give a try.

Heat Things Up! - Card Class.

What’s better than paper, powder, and laughter? Not much 💕

Card Class is truly one of my favorite events each month. There’s just something special about gathering with friends to create, laugh, and enjoy each other’s company. 

Even when last-minute changes pop up, we pull together and still have the best time crafting.

This month’s theme? Heat embossing magic! We played with a rainbow of embossing powders and ended the day by making a beautiful “Create Joy” banner. Every one of them turned out a little different—and every single one was gorgeous.

If you’re ever in the area, drop a comment and come create with us! Your seat at the craft table is waiting.

 

Sharing what I love, with Kaleidoscope Kit!

I LOVE Kits!

I enjoy keeping a kit with me wherever I go—it’s the perfect way to share creativity and connection with friends. There’s just something special about spreading the love of crafting—easy as 1, 2, 3!

I was thrilled to get to show off card making with

 my friend Sam, last night.

When my husband was on a job and I rode

 along with to visit.

 I broke out the Kaleidoscope Kit and shared a 

little bit of what I love and do on the daily. 

I think she's a natural.

When the floor tells the story of two days well spent...

When the floor tells the story of two days well spent…

I’ve been knee-deep in paper scraps and photo memories—18 pages later and my creative soul is full! I spent the last two days doing nothing but scrapbooking, digging through old photos, reliving sweet moments, and letting the stories unfold on every page.

Yes, it’s messy. Yes, I love every second of it.

Creating and reminiscing—this is my happy place.

There is a virtual Month by Month event coming up in July. Drop a comment below if you want more info.

 Weekend Adventures

Amazing, Fun, YOU - Peaceful Garden DSP

Over the weekend, a few of us got to play with a brand new bundle launching soon—and this card is just one of the beauties that came out of it! I used the new Peaceful Garden DSP (how dreamy are those doves?!), the Party Alphabet Dies, and brought back an old fave—the Celebrate You Dies (Retired)—to pull it all together.

That mix of fresh and familiar just hits different, doesn’t it?

I love creating special cards after every event to send out and share a note of thanks for attending or appreciation.

Kintsugi Inspirations fun card inspo!

Ever buy a suite you weren’t totally sure about… then fall completely in love?

That was definitely me with the Kintsugi Inspirations Suite Collection. I wasn’t sure it was “my style,” but after creating with it during an online creative convention, I totally changed my mind. The textures, the elegance, the message of finding beauty in the broken—it’s just stunning. So, this week it’s getting the spotlight it deserves.

Have you ever had a crafty product totally win you over? This one totally did that for me.
