I'm sharing a collection of birthday cards today. I had quite a few to make around the same time, and I thought I would mass produce them, or kind of, exploring a similar design, but still very customized for each recipient. Last year, I managed to expand my Anya kits from @thegreetingfarm and I don't often reach for them, so this was also the occasion. Yay! It's your day! Anya Reboot 2, Anya & Ian Twinsies and One of a kind (The Greeting Farm) Four square birthday tags: Yay! and It's your day sentiments (The Greetery) Layered cupcake: Have a cupcake or two sentiment (Altenew) You rescued me: Background doggos (My Favorite Things) Pawprints stencil (Your Next Stamp) Ranger Distress Oxides: Spun sugar, Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry Just a note Anya Reboot 2 (The Greeting Farm) Decorate a cake (Hero Arts) Sweet symphony: violinist and pianist (Clearly Besotted) Happiest wishes: It's your day and Where's the cake sentiments) Good mail day: arrow (CZ Desi...

When I saw the new Gummy bear collection from @carlyteeminner and @heroarts, I knew I would need to have it. Gummy bears bring back so many sweet moments (who am I kidding?

Happy St Patrick's Day to those who celebrate and perhaps Happy Beer Day to others! I don't celebrate one and no longer the other, but I like festive themes as they always give a good reason to make less serious cards. For this shape card, I did a little mashup with many great @whimsystamps products and the cute @lawnfawn bunny which I haven't used enough yet! I also played a bit with White puff embossing powder for the frothy foam -I almost forgot I had that in my stash! For other fun textures, I used pattern paper from Echo Park for the bunny accessories (I know, he looks more Scottish than Irish, but I wanted a muted green and a pattern) and matte black alcohol ink cardstock from Ranger. Not sure if you're familiar with it, but it has that velvet finish which I think looks fabulous as is Products: Brewskis sentiment stamp, Frosty glass die set, Penguin pals Pizzazz die set and Slimline shamrock background die (Whimsy Stamps Build-a-bunny and Accessories die sets (Law...

Our first Craftroomers hop of the year just started on Instagram. Come hop along with us for a chance to win a handmade card and the opportunity to join us on our next hop!

I had to play again with those silly chickens from @carlacreates.carlacreaties. I love how versatile this Christmas set is.

Chocolate makes me happy... Easter is just one month away now. Isn't it that crazy? I feel I never have the time for anything lately and I feel I'm becoming a lazy crafter too. I've been struggling a lot with cardmaking this past year and I realized when finishing this card that, a while ago, I would have never used plain cardstock without a little shading and especially not pattern paper! But hey, we change and sometimes, we all go with the flow. And it can't hurt to be finally using that huge stock of paper packs Products: Spring Specs - Large die of the month February 2026 (Spellbinders) Sweet nothings sentiment stamps (My Favorite Things) I scream, you scream dies (Lawn Fawn Cardstock: Toy box paper pack (Echo Park) and Ground coffee cardstock (Lawn Fawn) #spellbinders #cardmaking #handmadecards #eastercard #diecuting

The weather got really nice over the past couple weeks here. It feels like Spring! I just can't believe how the weather has completely changed in a decade. I'm glad I had finished exploring the Winter theme and I'm all about Spring cards at the moment! These little cuties are a mix from @clearlybesotted and @simonsaysstamp. The pocket and some of the stamps are from @thestamp_market. The pocket die has flaps and I actually only glued the flaps on the card bases, so the front card can also be used as a pocket, which I think is really cool to add a message, gift card or some flowers and carrots die cuts, which I almost did.
