Halloween Slimline Card with Pretty Pink Posh Trick or Treat Friends

It's the last day of the month so it's time for some Halloween inspiration! Today I made a slimline card - it's been while since I've made one - and used some adorable images from Pretty Pink Posh. The paper I used is very old, but it's a good way to use up any Halloween patterned paper you've been hoarding. I created images and a background with color themes that remind...

Happy Summer Swish 'n Pop Dolphin Card with Lawn Fawn

Have you used the Lawn Fawn Swish 'n Pop die set? I have only used it once or twice, but I'm trying to use it more and thought maybe having some photos with step-by-step instructions could be useful! It was more photos than I could fit into a Swipetorial, so you can catch it in my Instagram Stories for the next day and then it is saved as a Highlight on my profile. I kept the...

Love Stinks with Ink Road Stamps

I have another Ink Road Stamps design team project to share today! I am using the Break Up stamp set and created a broken heart background with rose gold embossing powder, pink and black inks.

If you'd like to see how this card comes together in...

The parameters were perfect for making a card with Abi - A2 sized card, pink + 3 colors, bugs/insects element and metallic/foil as a random.

Non-Traditional Colors for an I Love You Card with Scrapbook.com

So I know that Peppermint is themed for Christmas, but I wanted to try and use it for a different holiday or occasion. I have the I Love You dies (coming soon!) and thought I'd try to make a non-traditional color for maybe a winter anniversary or even for Valentine's Day.

I love the Radiant Rainbow theme for the Heffy Doodlers challenge this month, so I created a rainbow frame from the Go Wild die set and just love how vibrant it turned out. The sentiment is from the same...

Birthday Cards with Pool Party by Lawn Fawn

I'm back with another batch of birthday cards! This month I doubled Crafty Al's Sheet Load of Cards to make 12 cards. They all had a taupe and golden yellow color scheme, but 6 had tones of coral and the other 6 had mint and blue. As always, I use these batches of cards to use up my patterned paper, so the designs are currently retired. But that's okay! Use what's in your stash, too! ...
