Taking a Break!

Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Life keeps us busy, as you all know. I know I have been, and continue to be, very busy in my personal life. My two sons will be getting married in March and May. I am so excited to welcome two beautiful daughter-in-laws into our family!

My time will be spent preparing for these two special events, so I will be taking a break from posting on this blog.

I will continue to post cards I have created on my Instagram account. I hope you will check it out to see what I have been up to. I will also continue to be active on my facebook page. Perhaps something I created will inspire you!

It is always fun to ‘go back in time’ to visit past posts I have here. Lots of ideas for creating cards and tips for using craft supplies, as well as a few ways to use different items, may give you some ideas you can use!

I hope to be back soon with new posts and ideas for creating cards. You can follow me by adding your e-mail to be notified of my next post.

Thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy crafting in your creative world!

Who Put That in a Mailbox?

Hello Crafty Friends!

I am back to share what I have been up to lately. I fell in love with the mailbox stamp and die set from Spellbinder’s.

Here are a few of the cards I created using this set from Spellbinder’s Mailbox Die set.

I used patterned paper scraps on the background of this card. Balloons in the mailbox are perfect for a birthday card. The little pooch adds some whimsy to this fun card!

I created card for a wonderful man who has two beach houses. Seashells and starfish happen to wash up on shore and found their way to this mailbox. I can see this as a thank you card if you have rented a beach house for a fun vacation!

Any mail carrier would love to receive a card thanking them for delivering your mail and giving the neighborhood dogs a treat. I would think this card would make them smile!

This mailbox could also have newspapers in the box for the person who delivers your newspaper. (Yes, some people still have a newspaper delivered to their homes!)

I loved creating this card for a special person who loves cats! I fussy cut each cat from a background stamp. It seemed appropriate that cats would be curious about the inside of a mailbox. Such a fun card!

There are endless possibilities for using this mailbox die set…

Filling it with baby items and stamping ‘Special Delivery’ on the front would make a cute baby shower card! I am also thinking of flowers, small forest animals, candy and fishing and other hobby supplies to be used for so many occasions!

I hope you enjoyed these cards and hopefullyI have inspired you to create your own mailbox cards! What will you put in the mail?

Thank you for visiting and enjoy your creating time!

Junk Mail or Treasured Mail?

Junk mail fills many of our mailboxes, both online and in our physical mailboxes. We quickly toss this junk mail and look for the important envelopes.

One of the best items you can find in your mailbox is a special greeting card! It can really make a difference to someone, especially in today’s world.

It makes me feel better when I send a card to someone, and I know they appreciate it. Who will you send a card to today?

Enjoy your day!

Two-Sided Floral Papers

Hello!

Today I am sharing a couple of cards I have created using some two-sided floral papers. I have had these papers in my stash for a few years, so it is good to use several sheets of these nice papers to design these cards.

Floral papers can be used for some many types of cards. I will be creating more cards using this paper ~ then I can buy new papers! Isn’t that what it’s all about?

I hope you take some time and check out my Instagram page for other cards I have created!

Enjoy your day and thank you for stopping by for a visit!
