I ♥ Simple Stories 25 Days of Christmas

Especially the recently released 6x6 paper pads that are perfect for card making. I love that Simple Stories also included smaller versions of the tags that are included with the 12x12 sized collection.

25 Days of Christmas

For this card I only used patterned paper and cardstock... actually I did for all of the cards I'm sharing today. The patterns are so lovely I didn't really want to add anything else to it. 

This card features a strip of patterned paper and one of the mini tags propped up with foam tape.

I added some ink and edge distressing to create some texture for this card. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, the hoodstooth print :) 

Thanks for looking :)

Celebrate Autumn

Wow, I can't believe that it's been more than a month since I last updated my blog. Thanks for your sweet e-mails regarding  my absence. I'm here, just a little preoccupied by some things but I'm still crafting.

My mojo was MIA for so long and now it's back. Yay! I've been watching YouTube videos featuring mixed media art... so fun! I'm really a "clean & simple" kind of crafter but I'm so intrigued by the layering, gluing, and "go with the flow" vibe that seems to go along with mixed media art.  I think I may just have to give it a try. My walls could definitely use some art so hopefully I'll be able to pull it off! 

I've been working on Christmas cards too but I decided to take a break from them to create another fall card. I found this fall text patterned paper at Hobby Lobby, they have some cute patterned papers I haven't seen at my other local craft stores. I paper pieced the pumpkin and added some texture to it using an embossing folder & some inking. 

Thanks for stopping by :)
