my soul's therapy
This one is for my own mom, and it’s from SVG Cuts Mother’s Garden SVG Kit. It looks pretty complicated, but that’s because there were a lot of little pieces in it, but putting it together was not terribly complicated.
I love the flowers =)

A mother’s day card for a friend. =)
I clear embossed the images, watercolored them, and then ironed off the embossing — leaving a flat white outline of the images where the embossing used to be. I saw this technique with one of Jennifer McGuire’s cards, and I wanted to try it out myself. Loved it!

I am absolutely in love with Art Impressions and their watercolor stamps. They have a handful of these “TryFold” stamp sets, and here is one of my favorites. The sentiment is kind and heartfelt, and I am loving the watercolor look. Not to mention the way this card opens up!
I am loving the flowers – my favorite part. =)

I made thank you cards for my co-planners of last week’s baby shower. I forgot to take a shot of the entire set, but here is one of them:
Really loving the 3D takeout box and the “noodles”.
This stamp set is SO cute. I have used it a handful of times already, and have more plans for it in the future!

When I first told my husband that I was going to make a waterfall card, he said, “whoa, like you pull on it and water comes out?!?”
This man is actually quite intelligent overall, and yet he thinks I can create a card that pours out water. (To his defense, he later claimed that he meant that you pull a tab and a PICTURE of water will come out…. whatever).
Anyways, this particular card is for dear friends of ours (a fellow knitter and cardmaker too!) who are expecting their miracle baby in a couple of weeks. =)
Watch to see me put it together and how “interactive” this card can be! Even my husband thought it was “pretty cool”. This card was so easy to put together, yet it looks so impressive.
