Hi readers! Happy Sunday to you! I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! Please join me in welcoming back the fabulous Caryn Davies as a guest designer on our blog, and we couldn’t be happier to have her! This sweet card design made me smile from the bright cheery colors to the fun pop up element that Caryn added.

She used a darling assortment of Mama Element stamps and dies including the Carnival Toppers Creative Cuts, Carnival Toppers Clear Stamp Set, Carnival Cupcakes Clear Stamp Set, and the In My Heart stamp set!  She also used our exclusive Bundle of Stitched Shapes wafer dies set which fit her sentiment perfectly! Nothing tops off a cheery card like an assortment of Doodlebug sprinkles!

Be sure to watch her video for the full tutorial!

Thanks for reading today, and thanks to Caryn for being our guest!

Hi readers! Happy Saturday to you! I’m excited to share the second collection that Jen Hadfield has collaborated with Pebbles, Inc. called Cottage Living.  This collection was created more towards those that are interested in DIY crafting, but they can absolutely be incorporated into your favorite cards, scrapbook layouts, and journaling pages as well! You will notice that this collection is right on trend with just the right amount of gold foil accents, too!

If you’re looking to make a custom mantel decoration with the Alphabet Banner and Foil Garland, wanting to add a pop of color and organization with Oversized Gold Paperclips in your office, or just looking to add a bit of bling to your next project with Jewel Stickers, this collection has what you need in a fresh pallet, and read to craft with!

This gorgeous card above was created by Sandra Diedrich.

It’s finally here!!! SPRING has sprung and I am celebrating!!!

I’ve had this idea dancing around in my head for awhile… a butterfly wreath… but it didn’t seem appropriate to create it mid-winter. I’ve been having a blast creating 6×6 canvas pieces, the size is perfect for all my card making dies, stencil and stickers. The wreath is formed from paper covered wire which I found at my local craft store along with Paper Twine by Maya Road.

It’s light and airy plus has that feel of Spring to me. I used the Prima paper pad for my collaged background along with a bit of tissue paper.  I pulled out a bunch of my dies including the Tim Holtz Movers and Shakers Butterflies which I cut out from book text, and the beautiful Simon Says Stamp Devonshire Butterfly cut from Bazzill Vellum.

The canvas came together pretty quickly and I shot a video of the process which you can see below or on our YOUTUBE CHANNEL.
