A Treasure Chest of Memories and Laughter

Hi Friend! Today I'm sharing a card made with the Pretty Little Studio Love Is Kind Collection. I had lots of fun layering lots of different elements to create a cozy patchwork card that is sure to warm your heart !

I started with a panel of printed paper. It looks like I mixed the papers, but they're actually printed to look that way. I topped them with a journaling card and then added a double layer of die cut scallops along the left edge. The sentiment is a die cut, but I always try to rethink the items and often cut sentiments from journaling cards.

I added a small die cut pink striped frame to the journaling card and then a double stack of die cut hearts. Die cut flowers embellish the heart.

The finishing touch is some faux stitch stickers. They're printed on clear plastic so whatever you place them over shows through. I also added a few gems from my stash for some sparkle and shine.

I hope you have a great day and don't forget to bundle up!

Floral Christmas

The holidays are creeping up fast! I hope you've been making away and have a big stash of holiday cards ready to go. If not, you should check out the Pretty Little Studio shop! They've got several beautiful collections to choose from!

My card today is made with the Comfort and Joy Collection. It's not bright, and it's not pastel. It's the "just right" in between.

I love the gorgeous florals in the collection that you can arrange. There's even a few die cut floral clusters that are already arranged to take out the guess work. The collection also has dried spices and fruits, ornaments, cozy cups and sweet little birds and other cute critters.

 There's loads of embellishments too - journaling cards, die cuts, scallop borders, stickers, faux stitches, sentiments, word strip stickers, tags, frames and lots more!

The hardest part will be deciding what collection you love best!

A Friend

Hi Friend! Thanks for stopping by for a visit! Today I'm sharing a pretty floral card made with the Pretty Little Studio Love Is Kind Collection. This collection has the most beautiful florals ready to be arranged!

What I love about this collection is that even if you're new at papercrafting - mixing and matching prints or creating florals couldn't be easier. The background papers have a layered look, but they're actually one layer - printed with more than one design. I just added a journaling card for a focal point on this card.

The florals are super easy too. The die cut floral packs contain both single blooms or printed arrangements for you to choose from.

The best part is embellishing. I cut a sentiment from a journaling card, added some faux stitching with a clear sticker, and a double stacked butterfly. The finishing touch was a sprinkle of bling from my stash.

If you love pattern paper and all the trimmings you should check out Pretty Little Studio. They've got you covered for every occasion!

Good Friends and Great Adventures

Sending you some sunshine today with this bright yellow confection made with the Pretty Little Studio Love Is Kind Collection.

These gorgeous florals have me thinking of fall mums and summer's last hurrah of color! In my neck of the woods, the bees are collecting all the sweets they can find. We were also so excited to see part of the Monarch migration in our own yard as our Cottonwood trees were covered with them just for an evening.

This collection has the most beautiful florals. I selected those in shades of yellow to arrange for a monochromatic design.

This collection has lots of extras for embellishing including die cut scallop borders, journaling cards, frames, florals, butterflies and fantastic sentiments. I love all the messages of love and friendship. I found this sentiment on a journaling card.

I hope you're enjoying the change of season. My favorite part of crafting is that I can enjoy all the seasons for a sweet escape whenever I like.

Heartwarming

Sending you sunshine today with this bright yellow beauty of a card made with the Pretty Little Studio Love Is Kind Collection.

I started with a mix of yellow background papers and topped them with a yellow outlined banner shaped journaling card that I embellished with beautiful florals.

I embellished the design with a small sticker sentiment along the bottom and a yellow ticket die cut along the top. This collection has lots of extras too! I love the little colorful butterflies that are perfect paired with the florals in the collection.

One of my favorite embellishments is the faux stitch clear stickers. The clear background on the sticker lets the pattern paper peek through behind the stitches.

Wishing you a beautiful sunny day!

Christmas Cheer

I'm sneaking in a holiday card made with the Pretty Little Studio Comfort and Joy Collection. Any time I can get a holiday card made ahead of time it's a score for me! I know that when November rolls around that I'll be scrambling to get it all done.

The Comfort and Joy Collection is a feast for the eyes! You'll love the pretty dried flowers, pine branches, berries, roses and birds that make beautiful bouquets on paper.

This collection has all the extras too.. faux stitch clear stickers, cut aparts, die cut scallop borders, frames, tabs and lots lots more!

I really love the paper choices. The "Ledger" paper is a game changer because each sheet has several patterns printed on it so it looks pieced together by you and it's just printed that way.

I hope you take a look at the different collections available from Pretty Little Studio. If you love pattern paper like me, you're sure to find a new favorite there.

All You Need Is Love

Thanks for stopping by! I hope life is good in your little corner of the world. Today I'm sharing a card made with the Love Is Kind Collection. This is the latest release from Pretty Little Studio and it's my new favorite!

This collection has all the extras you've come to expect, but you'll also find some new here! Like the die cut journaling card I used on my card today. It's printed on one side and plain white on the other with the die cut word LOVE! I added pattern paper underneath so the letters look pieced.

I added a die cut border along the left edge of the card and a sentiment tab along the top. Double stacked butterflies and an affectionate sentiment complete the theme.

I really love the papers in this collection. Many of them look pieced but are actually printed with several patterns on each so it gives the look of a fussy pieced card when it's actually printed that way.

I hope you stop by the store and explore this new collection. I think you'll be glad you did because it's gorgeous!

Rain or Shine

Hi and a big thank you for stopping to say hello! It's been mostly rain here for the past few days. Being inspired by nature I thought it would be fun to make a weather themed card.

I decided to focus on the rainbows that only a good shower can bring. My background papers (from the Pretty Little Studio Love Is Kind Collection) are sky blue. I topped them with a rainbow starburst print journaling card and some scallop die cut edges.

I topped that with some clouds! The yellow butterfly looks like the sun peeking through with the promise of a beautiful day!

The collection has lots of great sentiments to choose from but I knew that this was the one! 

Rain or Shine I hope you always find the rainbows and that I leave you smiling today!

I'm Glad We're Friends

Hi Friends! I hope your summer is in full bloom and that your garden is gifting you with new flowers every single day! Have you seen the newest paper collection from Pretty Little Studio? It's called Love is Kind! You'll find lots of beautiful in this collection with fun prints, bold colors and messages of love. I am especially smitten with the beautiful butterflies and florals.

The theme of this collection is friendship and there are loads of sentiments that celebrate you and your bestie and how important your relationship is!

I love all the extras in this collection and tried to fit lots of them on my design. The focal point of my card is a large tag that is stacked with die cut flowers and butterflies. I added a tab on the right edge and some sticker sentiments too.

This collection has lots of pretty papers including the one on the background of my card. It's printed with the mixed designs so I didn't have to do any work mixing or matching. There's even some faux stitches printed on the paper, but I added some clear sticker stitches as well.

I hope you'll check out this beautiful collection and discover all the extras that you can mix and match to make your own designs.
