Hello Thank-you Card

 Recently I became quite overwhelmed with the ridiculous amount of patterned paper that I own and decided I need to start actually USING some of it! LOL! 


I just grabbed a pack of some pretty purple floral paper that I bought from Temu awhile back when I was in my “What the heck is Temu and why is everyone up in arms about it” phase…LOL!



I was curious as to the quality of some of their crafting supplies and fortunately, this was one of the “hits” rather than one of the “misses”!


The colors were nice and vibrant and the thickness of the paper was very similar to the name brand papers and suitable for card making or scrapbooking.


I just loved the delicate purple flowers on the paper so I just had to come up with a card I could use it in.



Most everything else I used in making this card is from Stampin' Up materials, you can check out the card recipe below for more details.

Volleyball Card - KILLer Birthday!

I had the opportunity to create a special card this month for my Granddaughter Brooklyn’s 19th Birthday!

She loves volleyball and plays on her college team, so naturally I first thought of a volleyball theme!

I couldn’t find any volleyball “stamps” in my massive collection (aka: hoard), so it was my Cricut Joy to the rescue!


So many cute sports SVG’s to choose from in Cricut Design Space…I couldn’t pick just one, so in addition to the volleyball SVG on the front, I put a smaller SVG of a volleyball player silhouette on the inside.


I needed sentiments for the front of the card as well as the inside, so I searched the internet for volleyball related card sentiments and found the perfect ones!


My Grandlove plays the middle blocker position and I am so proud of her and her enthusiasm for the game! 

I even included a special and personal "Handmade By" Sentiment on the back of the card, just for her!





I think she liked the card...and I know she liked the money inside! LOL!

You Always Deliver Birthday Card

As often as packages get delivered to my house, via USPS, UPS, Fedex & Amazon, you'd think I would have made a card like this a long time ago!


I guess I don't feel like my skills as a cardmaker are that good, therefore, I rarely give out the cards I make...I just store them up for some reason and do nothing with them!

I really loved the cute images in this set though, it is from a retired Stampin' Up set called " You Always Deliver" 


I searched and found many adorable examples of cards that could be made using this set and it inspired me to try my own.

If you are interested in these other cards I found, you can see some of them on my Pinterest Board here, or by clicking the collage photo below: 


I created mine to mimic a Postal Service Worker, but of course you could design him to be any delivery type worker you want, that is the fun part and the possibilities are endless!
