Hello my craftin' friends! I hope everyone is having a great week. I have a very quick card to share with you today. My very good friend had a birthday earlier this month. You know how you know the person's birthday is coming and you have all the intentions to buy them something and send them a card and with all the hustle and bustle of life you forget. I totally forgot her birthday and had to apologize I felt like a horrible friend. I am happy Stampin' Up had a stamp set that was perfect for people like me called Remembering Your Birthday. The sentiment on the inside says:
I remembered and thought....
there's something really worth
celebrating
today.......
but then I forgot!
Happy belated Birthday
This sentiment was so appropriate for this occasion.
The rest of the card was made using the Stampin' Up Confetti Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Party Wishes stamp set and the matching party punch pack. The card-stock and inks used are also made by Stampin' Up. The colors are Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry and Mint Macaron. The Happy Birthday was cut using an Elizabeth Craft Designs die. Remember if you have any questions about this card or the products I use please email me or leave me a comment below. As always thanks for stopping bye and I hope you will bless someone with an act of kindness or a homemade card.

Happy Saturday my crafting friends!! I know some of you are weathering the winter storm . Please stay safe and warm. Today in Kuwait it is pretty nice out. My niece will be turning 14 on the 29th, man they grow up so fast. I made this card in a box for her. The balloons were made using the Stampin' Up Balloon Bouquet Punch and Balloon framelits die. The Happy Birthday was stamped using Stampin' Up Perfect Pairing stamp set, which is a stamp set you can receive for free during their annual Sale-A-Bration sale with a purchase of $50 or more. The 14 was stamped using the Stampin' Up Number of Years stamp set and Large Number framelits dies, these can be found in their Occasions Catalog which you can order out of until May 31, 2016. The designer series paper was from 12 by 12 Sweet Soiree paper pack made by Craft Smith which was a $5 hot buy at Michael's. I hope she will like it. Lex if you are reading my blog Happy Birthday in advance love you and miss you to the moon. Well guys as always if you have any questions on this card please leave me a comment or send me an email. I hope you guys enjoy your weekend and bless someone with a small act of kindness, homemade card or both. I will talk to you soon.

Hello friends! Happy Thursday !!!! Just wanted share this card I made for one of my coworker's mom. I made this using some of my new supplies I got in from my Stampin' Up Sale-A-Bration order. I use the Stampin' Up Rose Wonder stamp set for the greeting on the outside of the card and the greetings on the inside come from Simon Says Stamps Watts Up and Handwritten Sentiments stamp sets. The beautiful rose is cut using the Stampin' Up Rose Garden thinlits die. I am so in love with this die and stamp set. I have made several cards using them. As all ways if you have questions about this card or the products I use please contact me by email or leave me a comment below. Enjoy the rest of your week and I will be back soon with another card. Oh before I go yesterday I went to Subway to eat and the Soldier in front of me paid for my meal and his words to me was have a blessed day. It was a very nice gesture and put a big smile on my face. You never know how an act of kindness can brighten someone's day so be bless and bless some one with an act of kindness or a handmade card.

Hello my craftin' friends!!! I really missed you guys. I misplace my camera and had issues trying to upload pictures from my IPAD to my blog but I am back in business now. I have several cards to share with you this week. I got my Stampin' Up Sale-A-Bration order in, if you don't know about Sale-A-Bration every year Stampin 'Up has a special where you earn free product for every $50 you spend with them. It is a great sale and you still get the normal free product you earn if you spend over a certain amount. Today's card uses two of the items you can earn for free. It uses the Botanicals For You stamp set and the Perfectly Artistic designer series paper.
I made this card for one of my coworkers, I always encourage you guys to do something nice for someone or give them a homemade card and I don't bless enough people with the cards I make. I vowed to try to do a better job at it this year. This card came together pretty quickly so if you need to mass produce alot of cards in a hurry this card will work for you. The designer series paper is double-sided and comes in a variety of colors. If you guys would like to know more about this card or Stampin' Up Sale-A-Bration please feel free to contact me by email or leave me a comment below. Thank you for stopping by today and hope to see you soon. In the mean time bless someone with an act of kindness, we need more love and kindness in this world so it can be a better place. May God bless each and everyone of you and your families until the next time.

Happy Wednesday my craftin' friends!! I hope you are having a very blessed week. Today I want to share with you a Valentine's Day card in a box. The card box was made using the Spellbinders card in a box die. The Spellbinders die made this card come together pretty quickly, I didn't have to cut or score anything like I normally do when using a template to make a card in a box. You can also use your Cricut Explorer to cut the card in the box out. I love my Cricut but currently it is not set up due to limited space in my room therefore using dies is much faster than setting up the Cricut, designing a card in design space and then cutting it out. Those of you who have your Cricut Explorer setup and don't have the Spellbinders die Lori Whitlock has several card in a box svg files on her website ( shop.loriwhitlock.com ) for a small fee to download or you can design it yourself in Cricut Design Space. All the hearts were cut using the Stampin' Up medium heart punch and stamped using the Stampin' Up Groovy Love stamp set. The XO die is from the My Creative Times Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO die set. The card-stock I used on this card is Michael's Recollection brand colored card-stock. I really like how this card came out, I think I am going to do a few more in different colors. If you are mailing this card it folds flat and goes in a regular A2 size envelope. Well thank you for stopping by today and I will see you soon with another card. In the mean time I hope you will bless someone with an act of kindness or a handmade card. Tarsha
Happy New Year my craftin' friends!!! I am so excited to be blessed to see a new year and look forward to all the new the year will bring. Today I have another Valentine's Day card. I was trying for a masculine card. I struggle when it comes to making masculine cards. This card was made using my Cricut Explorer. The sentiment come from the My Favorite Things Keep on Rockin' stamp set. I use embossing folders to give both the grey and black cardstock more texture. Unfortunately I don't know the names of either embossing folder. I need to start labeling my embossing folders. I normally purchase them and put them away without writing the names on the outside of the folders. The black card stock is Michael's Recollection brand and the grey is from Stampin' Up Neutral collection and is called Smoky Slate. The cuts on this card come from the Elegant Edges, Cricut Alphabet and First Few Years Cartridges. As always if you have questions or want more information on how I made this card please leave me a comment. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you will bless someone with an act of kindness today.
