I love clean and simple cards. An all white texture added with a pop of color makes me just happy. The inside of this card says ..This is you clinging to your youth.

Box Card Cactus
I wanted to make a card for my daughter that moved out of state. In AZ one thing people seem to miss is the Cactus and the sunsets. So I added both to a little card for her. I am working on the let’s get tutorial with this adorable set from My Favorite Things (JB-006 Stick Together Stamp & Die set). And the Out of the Box Level Up Card Kit (MFT-1874), Out of the Box City Scape (MFT-2370), and Out of the Box Snow Drifts (MFT-1833).
I will be also entering it into the MFT Superstar Contest. Why not. I did a fun technique coloring the cacti. I’ll add it to this post once I have the tutorial up!
Let me know if you’d like a PDF of this. Also tell me what you’d be willing to pay for some PDF instructions to make cards. I’m thinking $3-$5 for the PDF. After seeing the Make and Takes at Expo I felt that would be fair. How about a class kit with all the items cut and stamped. I don’t want to wholesale the products but is be willing to kit a class with the paper products and the PDF class instructions. $15-$35 depending on the amount of items in a kit? Share in the comments.
Thanks for crafting with me!
When your BFF is a cardist too!
It’s been a hot minute! I am working on some fun ideas but realized it’s been a while since I’ve posted to my blog.
My best friend is a cardist too! Which is amazing! We get to go to classes together and create together and that is really the best thing having that one person that GETS IT. We often text back and forth our completed or what I call mayday (those that are crashing and burning and need someone to help) cards because it’s nice to share with the person that gets it. She also gets all the other BFF stuff too! She is really one of my biggest supporters and encourager! I love her!
Anyway, when Christmas or Birthdays come around, it’s tough. I make her so many cards. However, once complete, I then decide they are not “Golda” worthy. I have stacks of cute cards, but I want them to be perfect for her. I also want them to be a “surprise”. I am so accustomed to sending a text with pictures of my card projects to her it kills me to make the one, then I can’t send it to her! UGH. This one was perfect for her. Simple but colorful. It fits her to a “T”. Well I waited to actually hand deliver her Christmas card this year because well, I had more fun with wax sealing my hand-delivered cards and was very happy when she finally got to see this project.
It is my Christmas blessing to be able to share my love of card making with her and know not only does she like getting my cards, but she really GETS them!
Here is a peek at the wax sealing of my hand-delivered cards. I got my monogram seal here and here is a great starter kit for wax sealing
Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday to you all.

GOOD NEWS! I finally have my new computer! This is good news because I get to start playing with my videos. I am still learning the software and pray for your consideration while I learn and improve. Now onto our card for today!
I take a lot of classes. I love learning about my different mediums. One of the things about card making is I get these little canvases to try my newly aquired skills! This card is a combination of many of my classes and playing.
The background of this card has been built using several sets. I enjoy the masking and adding many different elements to create the one of a kind look. I loved this Whimsy Stamp set I ordered from Simon Says Stamps. Gnome Get Well (click image below to find it).
I also used Cathy Z Design for Simon Says Stamps and it was the actual inspiration. The 100% chance is what triggered my rainy day feel. Living in a state that sees very little rain, any chance to enjoy it (even if I am only creating it on a canvas) is a must!
I hope you like this card and get a little inspiration.
I really did enjoy making the rainy-day look. I hope to make a video with this technique for you very soon. Let me know if that is something you would be interested in seeing.
Have a wonderful day! I’ll be back soon!
