I {heart} Pinwheels

Welcome to September!

I haven't done much crafting for the month of August so its time to get back in the swing of things for this month!

First I want to share this month's goals:

2 Design Team Projects

5 cards

8 2-page layouts

15 items for this month! On top of that, I enrolled for 2 classes in college this semester! I am going back for my Associates in Graphic Design right now, then hopefully on to a Bachelor's. Wish me luck!

On to share a cute and simple card today. Thank you cards always seem to be needed for something. So I still had some pinwheels for a card I did a little ways back so I added them to a black base and cut Thanks with my Cricut. Added some bling and this was so quick and easy, I love it!

Well I hope I inspire you to set your own crafting goals and work to meet them!

Check back on Thursday for Just A Scrappin's next challenge!

Same Card 2 Way! Part 2

Welcome back to same card 2 ways!

I was working on more Thank you cards. I wanted what I would consider clean and simple. I have been loving working with craft lately so I pulled some of that out. I haven't used my Stampin Up Medallion stamp in a while so I got that out too. Here is what came out

I stamped right on the craft with Stampin Up Cranberry Crisp. The thanks is SEI stickers from my stash. I added some Cappuccino Twinery twine and I thought it was exactly what I wanted.

So again I wanted to turn one into a birthday card. I didn't have any other letter stickers I thought would work so I used this cute sentiment from a Stampin Up set called Bring on the Cake. I stamped it on a cranberry piece, tore the bottom and added a couple layers of twine.

I love that medallion stamp! It really doesn't need too much more embellishment to look lovely!

Same Card 2 Ways! part 1

Hope everyone is having a good week so far! I am now in Tennessee enjoying some vacation time with my boyfriend and his family.

Sometimes when I make a card, I thought it was so cute/easy/fun I want to make another just like it!

So today, I am going to show you the way I took the same design card and make it for 2 occasions.

I saw the original design in a card magazine from a couple months ago and tucked it away as something I wanted to re-create.

The first one started as a Thank You card. I have been getting requests for these at work lately. The glitter paper is from SEI that I have had forever. The twine is of course from the Twinery, in Charcoal. The sentiment is from a Unity/Jillibean Soup set called Apple Cheddar Soup.

Since I need so many birthday cards, I also wanted to make this into a birthday card. The sentiment I wanted to use, from Close to My Heart, is bigger than the thank you. So I stamped in on another panel and moved the placement. 

I inked the edges of everything with Quick Quotes powder puff ink in Maraschino Cherry.
