30 Day Challenge Card #2 - Heart Medallion


Afternoon everyone! Today was a beautiful day and it was so sunny and spring is finally here! I'm so excited and happy! So I hope you enjoy this card! Read on for more!


So today! I used these supplies!

Martha Stewart Circle Cutter
Love Me Paper Pad
Stampin' Up! Corner Rounder
Stampin' Up! 3 Hearts Punch
Creme Cardstock
Red Ink Pad
Sentiment of your choice

That's it! : )


Here I cut out 2 circles. The red circle is 2.5 inches and the pink circle is cut at 2 inches. But I decided to cut out 3 more creme circles to off set the hearts I'll be adhering to the circles. One is two sizes smaller than the pink circle, the second one is two sizes larger than the pink circle, and the thrid creme circle is two sizes larger than the red circle. Sorry for the confusion!

I punched out little hearts with my 3 Hearts Punch, I used the zig zag pattern in the Love Me Pad.


Here I took the dotted pattern paper and eyeballed the size and adhered it!


As you can see I punched out all the small hearts and adhered them around the red circle.


A lot went on in this photo. I punched out more small hearts from different patterned paper in the Love Me pad. I then adhered them around the pink circle. As I said before I cut out three more creme circles. One has 3 hearts from the Stampin' Up! 3 hearts punch out of the dotted paper and adhered to the smallest creme circle. I added dimensionals to the back of the creme circle. I adhered it to the pink circle and then second creme circle onto the back of the pink circle. Now I adhered the red circle to that and the last creme circle to the back of the red circle.... Gosh! Sounds like a lot huh? If your confused comment and I can make a video how to make medallions.


So here I cut two pieces of creme cardstock and trimmed out a triangle at the end of both then I stamped my sentiments onto them in red ink. I adhered them under the medallion. You can round the corners if you like to.. but I decided not to. The medallion is the finishing touch! Enjoy! Keep staying tuned to the card challenge! Thanks!

Pink Birthday Card


Here's another Birthday Card. It's an extremely simple birthday card. I didn't feel good today so I wanted to do a tutorial that was simple. If you guys want to see vidoes instead of pictures. Were also 10 followers away from a giveaway! Keep commenting and sharing your intrests. I always like to hear what you have to say.


Heres the supplies I used! : )

Stampin' Up! 3 Heart Punch
Stampin' Up! Corner Rounder
Kraft Cardstock
White Gel Pen
Light Pink Thread
Stampin' Up! Teeny Tiny Wishes
4 Different types of Pink Pattern Paper
Versa Mark Ink Pad
Zing! Clear Embossing Powder
Martha Stewart Heat Gun

Please comment below if you have any thoughts!


I made a standard cardstock size 4.5x5.5 and scored at 4.25. I cut 4 square pieces of patterned paper at 1-3/8x1-3/8. 


Here I rounded the corners of the four squares, but as you can see above, their rounded at opposite edges and the rounded corners are pointed in. Then I used my white gel pen to stich around the top right square. I had an extra creme heart in my scraps so I added dimensionals to it and adhered it to the top right square.


Here I cut a little slit in the crease for the string to wrap around the card. I wrapped the string about 2-3 times then tied it in a bow.


I stamped the bottom right of the card with the happy birthday sentiment in VersaMark ink and covered it in Zing! Clear Embossing Powder. Then I waved over this with a heat gun. Check out the tutorial at "The Basics" tab.


Here's the finished card! I hope you like it! I just went around the edge with my White Gel Pen and stitched it.

Thanks for reading! Please leave any comments!

Cheetah Birthday Card


Hey everyone! I have so many friend birthdays coming up in the next month I wanted to make cards for them! This one was designed for my friend who loves Cheetah : )


Heres a list of supplies I used for the card! And up above is a visual list. : )

Stampin' Up! Corner Rounder
Stampin' Up! Word Window Punch
Stampin' Up Modern Label Punch
Stampin' Up! 3 Hearts Punch
Scallop edged scissors
Kraft Cardstock
Creme Cardstock
Black Cardstock
Patterned Paper (Cheetah)
Creme Ribbon
White Gel Pen
Black Ink
Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set

Enjoy!!


Here I started with my Kraft cardstock base and its a standard size at 4.25x5.5. Then if you can see up above I marked with pencil on the creased side about .75 on either side. Then I cut the patterned papper to fit between the marks. I cut the Cheetah at about 3.5 and rounded the corners on the right side top and bottom of the card base and Cheetah print.



I punched out black hearts with my Stampin' Up! 3 Heart Punch, and Punched out black with the Modern Label, and creme with the Word Window Punch. I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment in black on the creme cardstock. I added dimensionals to the creme cardstock and 3 hearts.


I trimmed black cardstock strip to size of the card, .5x4.25. Then I trimmed it with my scallop border. I adhered the Cheetah paper to the base and the closer to the bottom of the Cheetah paper I adhered the scalloped paper. Here I cut into the crease of the card with scissors so I could thread my creme ribbon.


Adhere the ribbon to the back of the card front and adhere the black hearts and sentiment. Lastly I added some white stiching to the side of the cheetah paper. I hope you enjoyed this card and tune in for some more ideas! Keep Scrapin!

Simple and Easy St. Patricks Day Card


Hey everyone! I decided to make this week devoted to St. Patricks Day Cards. Of course you can use these ideas for other occasions.. but this card is extremely simply and easy to make!! Enjoy!


Here are the supplies! As you can see it's simple and easy!

Stampin' Up! Wild Wasabi Ink Pad
Stampin' Up! Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set
Stampin' Up! Corner Rounder Punch
All Natural Hemp - Tan (You can use an twine or string you'd like)
Creme cardstock base
3 Pieces of scrap green patterend paper
White Gel Pen
Oh SNAP! I forgot to add in the Scallop Scissors I've used on previous tutorials. Sorry!
Let's Get Started!


The cardstock base is different from my usual. The creme is trimmed at 4.5x11 and scored at 5.5. There are four strips of different pieces of patterned paper. I just cut the three at 1.5x 3.5. Then I used some scrap 12x12 piece of Wild Wasabi Polka Dot by BoBunny. For the strip in the middle of the card, I used the plain back of the polka dot cardstock.

Now I trimmed the green cardstock with the scallop edge scissors and adhered it to the card. I believe this was measured at 2.5x4. Now I cut three little slits into the side on each side for the hemp.


Here I tied the string. Leave a comment if you want to see how I did tied the hemp. But I stamped Happy St. Patricks Day down at the corner in Wild Wasabi Ink and I added white gel pen stitching on the card. Thanks for reading! Keep on Scrapin!
