You've read the subject line, and I know what you're thinking... you messed up? Where? Sometimes it's hard to fix mistakes when you're crafting, but it's definitely not impossible. See the card above? The layer with the chopped up paper is one of my original prototypes for my Easter class that I offered a few weeks back. My first thought was to start over and not use that piece. But then... I knew I could turn it into a beautiful card!
Happy Tuesday! It's time for this week's Create in Color Challenge - woohoo! I can't believe we're already on challenge #7! This week, I used the Floating & Fluttering bundle, which is featured in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog.
Happy Sunday! Easter is next week already, can you believe it?! For this month's Share It Sunday Blog Hop, I'm sharing two cute Easter projects using Stampin' Up!'s Springtime Joy stamp set.

Hello everyone! Welcome to this month's Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop, featuring the March kit: Here's to You! This month's kit is so awesome, and I love the free stencil set that was included as a gift to celebrate Paper Pumpkin's anniversary this month! I love this stencil set so much, it is the focus of the card I'm sharing with you today. I even have a video tutorial below on how I made this card!
Easter is just a couple of weeks away - can you believe it?! For these cards, I used the wreath, egg and sentiment stamps from the Arrange a Wreath stamp set. I then combined in the bunny image from Springtime Joys and the church from Gift of Hope. Didn't they turn out beautifully?
I've been in a birthday mood this week! Today, I'm sharing the birthday card I made for my brother-in-law, whose birthday was in February. He loves to play cards, so I knew the Game On stamp set would be perfect to use for making his birthday card!
I'm excited today to share a card I made for a very good friend's birthday, which was last week. I sent her a picture of all of the Stampin' Up! colors and told her to pick out her favorites... her response? Purple Posy, Merry Merlot, and Blushing Bride - what a beautiful combination! I also added in a bit of Pool Party.

Happy St Patrick's Day! Today I'm sharing one of the cards I made for St Patrick's Day. You can view the other card I made by clicking here! I did some "punch art" to create the clover, using the current Heart Punch. I cut a thin scrap to serve as the stem. The adorable "Lucky Me" sentiment comes from the Game On stamp set. Inside the card, I used the tiny clover stamp from Oval Occasions to decorate the bottom!
Happy Tuesday, everyone! It's time for the Create in Color Challenge #5 AND my weekly video tutorial! This week, I'm sharing a super quick video on how to heat emboss - one of my favorite things! But, I have to be honest - it took me a while to get into heat embossing because I was nervous I'd mess it up. Watch the video below to see how wrong I was - and just how easy it is to heat emboss!
