• I recently discovered a love for antiques. So I'm totally digging this mama elephant stamp set with the ability to make light bulbs with interesting and cute filaments.

  • Absolutely loving these stamp sets from mama elephant and Avery Elle.
    Used liquid pearl for the centers.

  • My nephew's birthday is coming up and for whatever reasons, I have trouble with boy cards. I love this stamp set from simonsaysstamp.com. The card is perfect for my nephew because he has a couple of bee pillow pets which he can't love without. And this is pretty gender neutral so I'll be sending this to him at the end of the month (stuffed with a little money). 



  • Used the beautiful "Oh Happy Day" stamp set from Avery Elle that I picked up on simonsaysstamp.com. I LOVE this set. The handwritten sentiments are gorgeous!! I need to learn calligraphy. Lol. 

    Inspired by a card post from Nichol Magouirk using a mama elephant stamp set (which I bought and can't wait to try!!) called "Water Blooms". Love the monochromatic design and the little birdies!

  • The 2nd acetate card I made during the online card class: Insider. That class was completely worth it! 




  • Love having tea and love eating macarons! This stamp set is by paper smooches (my first) and it's so cute!

    Put glossy accents on the hearts. Used broken china distress ink around the edges. And used a paint swatch for the banner. 

  • IMy sister had asked me to make some handmade birthday and wedding cards for her to give to people. I've been a bit more focused on trying to make wedding cards because I think they're harder to make. Lol. Here's my first one.


  • Honestly I didn't even know there was such a holiday but what a great excuse to make a card!




  • Another card based on lessons and inspiration from day 2s insider class.

    Super cute! I'm not brave enough to do plaid patterns yet but these stripes turned out cute! And the acetate window is really nice. I would definitely try this again. I also need to figure out how to keep the acetate cover from lifting. I'm sure it was mentioned in the tutorial. I think i just need to move the inside piece down a tiny bit away from the acetate fold. 


    Here's the inside. I need to work on my alignment with repeatable stamps but I'll figure it out! The stamps also turned out a little incomplete when I stamped them. But it looks sorta aged (also bc apparently I didn't clean the stamps enough between colors) so it's certainly interesting. Me likey! 



  • So this kind of ended up being play time with techniques I'm not familiar with. I even used some cheaper paper which curled a little when I used water. But it turned out cute! I'll do another one like this later with better paper and better planning.

    I'm pretty new to using distress inks but I think it still turned out okay. And what a surprise using the brush that came with the Faber-Castell gelato set to make grass using distress ink in peeled paint! it actually looks like grass!


    Wishing you.... didn't live so far away <3
