Life is Good With You Around

Life is Good With You Around



























What did i use?

This was the first card i made out of the new SSS card kit for august. I think it came out just way to cute.  I got my inspiration for layout from the pages of *My Mind's Eye 6 x 6 BE AMAZING Paper Pad. Their is a page that had a bicycle down in the corner and the idea for this just popped into my head instantly because of the wood veneer bicycle. I tried really hard not to stray from the kit, but the stamp set that was included just didnt have the right sentiment for where I was going with this card. Next card I do from the kit I will try my best to use a sentiment from the kit.

card sketch saturday


*** So I want to create a card series. I’m thinking "Card Sketch Saturday" this just came to me so if it’s taken I’m really sorry. I really like making cards off card sketches because I know its hard some times to come up with a little inspiration. Also this will give me to opportunity to make a video at least once a week. More on this soon :D ***

When I made this card I had my mom in mind. She loves unicorns and I thought this one just came out too cute and very dimensional. I have two layers of dimensionals on this card. Adorable but not mail friendly. 

***I just wanted to note, I don’t link the paper I use for my card base because 99% of the time its recollections brand from Micheals. This particular one is the kraft paper they carry. It’s sturdy and cheep. I use it all the time. :) If I do use a different one I will try my best to link it if I can find it. I get the Simon Says Stamp card kit every month and I don’t necessarily know the brand of every layering paper that comes in it

*Lawn Fawn LOVE 'N BREAKFAST Clear Stamps

woo. I feel like I used a lot on this card even though its so simple. This lawn fawn set was one of the new ones I picked up. Just absolutely too cute. I love how all the objects have smiley faces J just gives the card so much personality.

What Did I Use? 


On my most recent order form Simon Says Stamp I finally picked up my first sets of lawn fawn stamps. I had wanted some for a very long time. I got a few theme sets and a few critter sets. I have to say I’m in love with them. They are very high quality and stamp beautifully. So of course I had to play with them and what better way then to make a card. <3

This is just a simple card using a die cut from the silhouette studio store. The designs are just 27 cents because I have a subscription 99 cents normal. I love my silhouette to death. I don't know what I would do with out it. It’s a big investment up front but in the long run I feel like it has paid for its self. I get to pick every single design I purchase and don’t have to worry about not liking certain designs that may come on other brands of die cutting machines that take cartages. Also I can make my own designs. So cutting custom sentiments is a breeze.  I actually own very few punches and no dies to die cut. I feel like if I can force my self to not buy them I can get the most use out of my silhouette. Even though I have run across many dies and border punches that I want I have to pass them by. 15-20$ just doesn’t beat the 27cents I pay for a design.... that’s all I can tell my self. Any ways, sorry for the rant. Hope you enjoy my blog as much as I enjoy putting up post for ya’ll to read.

You probably cant tell but i used this as a fathers day card, although you can use this for any occasion calling for a sweet card, thats why i posted it so late.

This card originally started out twice as long, but the banners were so short that it left a ton of empty space. I didn't know what to do with it, so last resort i chopped it in half. Came out cute. :D

I had made a video for this card, but half way threw my camera died and i didn't notice and i finished the card. So i scraped it. *Will make another attempt at this soon. :D
