Mojo Monday 478 Contest | Encouragement Card featuring Simon Says Stamp
Now that I've gotten back to making time for card making, I can't stop! It feels good to get these ideas, that have been packed in my head, out onto paper. I still have at least one more card after this one to share :) For this card, I decided (again) to go back to the Mojo Monday 478 Contest. I used this card sketch and used the supplies from SSS Snow Much Thanks Card Kit - this time, using patterned papers AND solids to create a card - not just mix and matching paper with o
Mojo Monday 478 Contest | Scratch-off Birthday Card featuring Mama Elephant and SSS
Thank goodness for Mojo Monday! I feel like it definitely is helping me to find my card making mojo :) After I made my last card using the Mojo Monday 478 Contest sketch, I felt the urge to make another! I began again with the Simon Says Stamp Snow Much Thanks Card Kit. I pulled the patterned paper that looked like sprinkles and immediately thought "birthday card." I decided I wanted to bring out the pink from the patterned paper, so I used the pink paper from the kit and als
Mojo Monday #454 & Simon Says Anything Goes | SSS July 2016 Handwritten Floral Greetings Card Ki
My SSS July 2016 card kit finally came today! I know I always say it... but it's seriously like Christmas when it arrives; when ANY craft package arrives really :) Of course I had to open it right away and dig in to make a card! As much as I love my YouTube channel and sharing my card processes, it really take a lot of work to create a video from start to finish. Sometimes, I really do just like to create a card and not have to worry about whether I'm in frame while recording
Mojo Monday #453 & MFT Color Challenge 48 | SSS Dream Distress Ink Card
There were A LOT of challenges this week that I was interested in doing from sketch challenges to color challenges. I decided to pick both a sketch and color challenge as the base for my card idea. You'll see that I tweaked some things for each challenge to make my own individual card and design. I began my card by referring to MFT Color Challenge #48. The combination of colors was really pretty, and I was in the mood for making a distress ink background so I pulled distress
Mojo Monday 451 Contest | Simon Says Stamp June 2016 Card Kit
For my second card for the Mojo Monday 451 Contest, I pulled the SSS June 2016 Card Kit that was still sitting out on my desk and used some of the leftover products to complete my card. As with my first card, I also used the Lawn Fawn "So Much to Say" stamp set and pulled the "feel better" sentiment as I don't have many cards with that sentiment either. I decided to use Versamark ink to stamp the sentiment and white powder to heat emboss it. I almost think that using white in
Mojo Monday 451 Contest | Congrats Distress Ink Blending Card
Ah, it's contest week at Mojo Monday again :) I'm still trying hard to keep up with this schedule of blog posts that I set for myself, but sometimes I get home from work and I'm just so tired... of literally, doing nothing all day. The fact that it's contest week just gave me that extra push... and not only did I make one card, but I made TWO using the Mojo Monday 451 Contest Sketch. So I can submit both cards, my second card will follow in the next post :) For this card, I d
MFT Sketch Challenge 283 | SSS June 2016 Card Kit Thanks Card
I definitely planned to get a lot more card making done this past week, but that didn't really happen. I didn't even make the next 2 cards until Sunday night! Anyway, I was inspired by MFT's Sketch Challenge #283, so I pulled out my Simon Says Stamp June 2016 card kit again to use the supplies to make a card. I've used this kit a few times now, and it really is a fun kit with all the mixed media elements incorporated into the patterned papers. The colors are also very summery

CTMH Finding the Words | Best of Luck Card
Ever since I went on my vacation 2 weeks ago, I've been making cards almost non-stop. Whether it's cards for holidays, friends at work, or just because. When I first started up making cards again during my vacation (hadn't spent much time crafting the month before), I felt rusty with my card making and any idea I had either didn't go as planned the first time or it just took me forever to complete a card. Today I realized that the more often I made cards, the better I get at
