Tomorrow starts the Make a Card Week! So excited for the tutorials this week :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend. We had a 5 week old little bundle of joy staying with us overnight, it was fun to go back to that sweet age :)

This was the 1st card I made while deciding to do the tutorial. While there is no tutorial for this one, its a little sneak peak of the cute cards to come this week. There are 5 more great cards!

Not so scary, she's more cute!

I know we all love to make cards right? But it can get costly, I find I can easily spend $5-6 per card on supplies. This entire tutorial week is how to make an entire week of cards with your leftovers. Each tutorial has instructions and step by step pictures. I attempted a video but that didnt turn out well with my dog in the room (he was "talking" too much!). Monday will be the first one so stay tuned!

Here is the stash I'm using. It's from last years K&Co Spooktacular Collection. The 12X12 paper pad and the pack of 3D embellishments. I had these leftover from making my layouts and I know this year I will want new stuff. Don't we always? So instead of throwing this out I made my cards out of it.
The only other things I used:
- Ribbon
- Buttons
- Adhesive

All of which I had on hand. I'd love to see what you make this week, if any of my cards inspire you. I tried to make them user friendly so everyone from beginner to experienced can make these. They are a bit 3D and bumpy because.. that's my style :)

Here is the fantastic PRIZE you can win!

Good Morning Everyone! I just love the creative cuts diecuts, so my project for today was this little adorable Square Box. I wanted a small box that I could decorate on my own for a little gift. This was perfect. So I made the box, added the ribbon and my favorite birthday stamp. It was easy to make and will make my gift look that much better.

Hi Everyone! I wanted to post to let you know I have happily joined the Creative Cuts Design Team! I really love what they offer and am thrilled to be apart of it. The Slash Pocket Card came to me at the perfect time. My best friend is having a birthday. Since she is a bright, bubbly person I thought that is how I would make this to match. I loved this card, it's different from a traditional card and so fun!




Then for the inside I wanted to make it look like the birdie was wishing her the birthday greeting so I stamped him, colored him in and drew a word bubble.
