Easter [cards] delight.

.[two more Easter cards].

I made two quick cards today with some new things that came in the mail-more embossing folders & a bunny/chick die. I am excited that I have some new things to try this weekend-even a box of Stampin Up goods that just arrived. It's been a while since I have order from Stampin Up-new stamps, punches, dies, and a embossing folder!

What brand of embossing folders do you use? I love the pattern of the "believe card" from a few days ago - such pretty stuff. Love to see your latest creations. Thanks

a couple of Easter cards.

.[couple of Easter cards].

Today I am sharing two Easter cards I made today! I used my gorgeous dollar bin stamps & TCD's paper and garland. I stayed very simple with some splash of spring colors.

These are so cute!! Love them. About the embossing, I was referring to your fabulous rubber stamping embossing. I can NEVER get it as perfect as you do. :)

.[dollar stamps Easter tag garland].

.[Easter garland].

My first Easter project-using Michael's dollar bin stamps(the bunny with the bow, the chick, sheep, and the egg)! I love these stamps, they were just what I wanted-more realistic and vintage. I wished they had more choices & sentiments that I liked just as much as these. The one bunny with the egg tag-that bunny stamp wasn't from the dollar bin. I can't to use them for cards!

Loving your cards. Especially your embossing. How do you get your embossing so crisp?

Reply | Edit | View | Yesterday on a card filled day.

Hi Angee, no secret trick...just my new Big Shot!! I love that thing!!

Heaven said:

These are so pretty! Do you send these cards through the mail, and if so, how do you protect all the gorgeous embellishments? I'm still hoping you'll do a video tutorial on your embossing. I'd love to see how you get it so crisp too. :)

Heaven, I am not sure if I have sent any cards through the mail...most go attached to gifts w/o envelopes!! And my Big Shot did all the embossing work this time-no more hand cramps doing it the hard way!!

a card filled day.

.[a card filled day].

My weekend wasn't spent on just making cards-I also had to nurse Kiela back from a bit of the flu. Poor thing has had it twice in the past few weeks. Since she felt better yesterday I was able to spend some time making a few cards.

I am now thinking of Easter projects, I need to make some Easter decorations! I hope to post some Easter cards & things this week.

Isn't that funny about dogs? There are four other people in my family, and we can all be sitting together, yet the dogs all come to me. They know who they can count on, that's for sure! Lulu is adorable!

Reply | Edit | View | 2 days ago on lulu.

Chevonne, same problem here...Lulu has this thing she started ding a few months ago-she comes and lays her muzzle on my lap and looks at me with HUGE eyes...then I guess what it is she wants. And she only does this to me, lol.

Traci Severson said:

Hi Keisha! You are so inspiring and I enjoy visiting your blog to see what you have been crafting. I also really love seeing photos of your decor for the holidays, as well as photos of your home - it's gorgeous!! I was hoping you could tell me what border punch you used on this layout of Lulu, who, by the way, is quite adorbs!!! (She looks like she has quite a personality.) I've scoured the internet for a look-a-like, as well as your blog trying to find where you may have given the deets on it but I cannot locate any info on it. Would you mind sharing - I love it!!! Thanks!!!

lulu.

.[lulu].

Lulu makes our little family complete! She is doted on by all of us-I like to let everyone know that Lulu loves me the most. I am the one that she comes to when she wants water(always from the bathroom sink), to eat, or when she needs to potty. She knows I am the one she can count on-the others would let her starve, lol!

a mini + 2 cards.

.[a minni + 2 cards].

Today I am sharing some cards and a little mini folder album using TCD Stationary Noted line. I have been working on these for the past couple of days-the mini folder has been on my table for over a month. It took me sometime to figure out what I wanted to do with the mini folder-I wanted to keep it simple. It is hard resisting the urge of piling on the stuff-making it super bulky!! I had to pull myself back a few times, taking away things.

LOVE your cards. I so get the 'mojo' thing. That is why I am trying--though not totally successfully to do things ahead this year. I just need to remember to mail them in time.

OMgosh, I totally can relate. Every year I say I will make & send out Christmas cards-every year I just say it!

Heaven said:

So pretty! How do you keep the flower from getting squashed? :)

For a flower like that I put in a box of pages-instead of an album.
