Neon Man Card - Scrap the Boys

Hey friends!

Today I'm bringing you a card I did using the mood board at Scrap the Boys. My son also wanted to create a card using the mood board! He kept gasping and giggling as he was creating it, enjoying how it was coming out. It was adorable!

We didn't have exactly the right colors for the mood board in paper, so we inked ups some white cardstock, and it worked perfectly!

We were definitely inspired by the leaves and the bright blues and green. The tropical feel was great too.

Heath loved creating the die cuts with my Big Shot.

I'm putting sequins on a card, I don't care who ya are.

I think I will definnitely be using this color pallette again for a scrapbook page - I love it!

Merry Mail!

I'm sharing the holiday greeting cards I created for my crafty friends this year. It's nice to make pretty cards for those who you know appreciate a handmade item. These were actually the only ones I sent out! I feel like everyone get enough photos of my little ones throughout the year on social media, so it's a bit redundant.

But these were super fun to create. I did a non-traditional Christmas color palette, added sparkle, sparkle & more sparkle & tada!

I used Pearly shimmer something or other from Stampin' up for this wreath embossing, and I love how it turned out.

I used an Ink Road stamp from the Fir Real set for the merry and bright sentiment. I stamped it in a rose gold and embossed with iridescent glitter.

I found this adorable little Christmas Card list book at the thrift store - completely blank! The pages were old looking & I knew they would be wonderful for some Christmas projects.

I used some white glitter ribbon, tulle and a snowflake button here with some hot glue.

This wreath was embossed with heat and stick powder & I added fine, green glitter.

I cut all of the branches out of glitter cardstock on my Cricut.

I had so much fun creating these girly cards!

I always try to think of what I would like to receive in the mail, and the answer basically always includes lots of glitter.

I inked all the edges with the same rose gold I used for the sentiment to bring all the elements of the card together and give it an aged look.

 

I hope my crafty friends enjoy their holiday cards! I also hope they all make it in fair condition. I put a piece of cardboard or bubble envelope over each card for safe mailing.

Busy Summer!

This summer has completely flown by & I have so many projects to share.

Today I have a birthday card I made for my Mom last weekend with a sketch & challenge from Die Cuts with a View. I used their Ultimate Tag Stack, which I won in June.

They wanted an added twist of sparkle, so I included a heart shaker pocket of sequins. Let's be real, it's hard to find a project I complete without added sparkle!

Here's the original sketch:

I also have a new page in my Little Summer JOY Traveler's Notebook from last week's lesson, Simple Things.

I love this fun photo of my little dude running through the sprinkler, and really, what a simple, summer moment.

I made the fringe with my Cricut and some yellow papers from the Pink Paislee Citrus Bloom line. I really adore how it turned out.

The sunshine tab was so perfect for the photo & the tag I had made in the technique portion of my lesson, Hometown Tourist. I got this sweet free cut file from the lovely ladies over at Spiegel Mom Scraps.

I'm really loving this Little Summer JOY project! I'm sad to see it ending, but I still a beach vacation with a TN to complete for it! This has been an inspiring summer.
