Mom You Are The Best Card Gift Card Holder

Hi everyone!  Mother's Day is just around the corner.  Can you believe that it's already May?

Today's project started with the MOM card.  I wanted to create a Silhouette file that could be used as the centerpiece on the front of a card, as well as a card in my Project Life album.  It evolved not only into a card for mom...but it also doubles as a gift card holder.

My color scheme was inspired by the Love You Madly collection by Glitz.  I love navy and coral together.  And I think the gold is a perfect addition to an already favorite color scheme.

I will admit, this card is not the flattest card!  It's got lots of dimensional adhesive on it.  I will be handing these cards out in person so I wasn't shy with the foam adhesive.





I have included a video below walking you through the entire creation of this card, as well as links to the products used in this project.  I discovered since making this video that the polka dot stamp I used from Stampin Up is now discontinued, so it is not linked below.  Sorry.

I hope you enjoy this video and I hope you have a FABULOUS Mother's Day!  Thanks for stopping by!

Instagram Photo Card

 If you're anything like me, you've been taking and posting a whole lot of Instagram photos lately.  And a lot of them are super cute.  It seems a shame not be able to share them.   You can find me on Instagram (carissawiley is my username).

I thought I would combine a couple of my favorite things, Instagram Photos and hand made cards.  I thought the You've Been Framed stamp set from Maya Road was the perfect stamp set for this kind of card.

I created this card knowing it would probably be a mail out card (as opposed to one I would hand directly to the recipient).  So I kept the card super flat.

I also kept the card design pretty simple to keep the focus on the adorable picture of my kids.

I've posted a video below showing you the complete creation of this card.  I've also posted links to all of the products used in this video below (including a link to the printer I mentioned in the video...which I LOVE by the way).

Hope you enjoy the video!  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a fabulous weekend!

Speech Bubble Thank You Card

Hi everyone!  I hope you are having a fabulous week and are ready for the weekend.  I think the weekend is my favorite part of the week (especially when I'm not working).

I've created a fun card featuring speech bubbles.  They're all over the paper craft world right now.  They are such a fun and versatile shape.  I thought I would combine several speech bubbles to create a thank you card.  I've included stamped and die cuts shapes on this card.

This card is a great card to reproduce.  I purposely chose not to use patterned paper and stuck with stamps and die cuts which can be created over and over again.  I also used a Happy Birthday sentiment from Papertrey Ink for a birthday version of this card.

I have posted the video below, showing the entire creation of this card.  As usual, I have posted links to all the products used in this video below.

I've used a couple of the hottest trends in paper crafting on this card, gold and speech bubbles.  I'd love to hear from you.  What's your favorite trend in paper crafting right now?
