Easy 3D Cupcake Gift Tag

*As an Affiliate Partner with Amazon, eBay, and Rakuten, I earn from qualifying purchases.*

Easy 3D Toppers make your tags and cards so quick & easy, and I love the dimension!  They all have such beautiful images, beautifully finished off with metallic and glittery details.  Just gorgeous!  This cupcake is one of my favorites and I just love this birthday gift tag.  Of course, this cupcake would make a beautiful tag (or card) for any other occasion as well.

Ladybug Gate-Fold Invitation

*As an Affiliate Partner with Amazon, eBay, and Rakuten, I earn from qualifying purchases.*

The gate-fold design of this invitation is so fun!  I think it really brings the ladybug to life.  I came up with this idea on inspiration from my Punch Art Ladybug.  I just useed larger circle die cuts and put it all together in a gate-fold design.  This would be great for invitations and many other cards as well.

Raindrops Tri-Fold Card ~ ft. European Papercrafts Easy 3D Topper

*As an Affiliate Partner with Amazon, eBay, and Rakuten, I earn from qualifying purchases.*

It's April!  ..Time to think about April showers.  I sure do love the rain!  The Spring rainy season is a favorite time of year for me.  There's just something so soothing about rain.. Rainy days always seem to get a bad rap but I think they should be celebrated! 

You may remember my recent video of Embossing Vellum & Acetate where I created this raindrop embossed acetate panel.  I loved the look so much, I just had to use it in a card.  This is the card I came up with and I love it!  I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. 

Check the links below to watch my YouTube tutorial and for product links.  Happy Spring and Happy Crafting!! :-D

Mundane Morning ~ Loving Arteza

*As an Arteza affiliate partner, I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases.*

Good Mundane Morning Crafties!  I hope that you all had a wonderful and blessed Easter!  What a beautiful day it is here in Kentucky!  April is off to a great start!  I think Spring is finally gonna come around.  I'm enjoying a nice big cup of French Vanilla coffee and planning my crafts for this week.  Grab a cup, sit back, and and let's talk Craftie!

So, this past weekend I posted my Arteza review videos.  I hope you guys enjoyed those.  I'm really enjoying working with the Arteza Real Brush Pens as well as the Arteza Water Brushes.  In fact I have an idea for another video using these in a cardmaking project...  I'm not sure how soon I can get that out to you guys.  I'll have to look through my other supplies and see if I have everything I'll need for what I have in mind.  If not this weekend, I'll update you again next week as to when you might expect that.  

I also have some other Arteza products in mind that I want to try out.  When I do, I'll have videos of those for you guys as well.  I'm having so much fun discovering this brand!  Not only are they great quality products, but they are super afordable!  You can check out their website at http://arteza.com/?a_aid=contactcraftie.  If you discover new products before I do, let me know and I'll try to acquire them and give them a try as well. 

This weekend I hope to bring you guys more Spring themed crafts.  To be honest, I'm not exactly sure which to tell you to expect.  I have so many in mind... I'll just go with whichever comes to me first.  But definitely expect to see flowers and all-around Springiness!  If you guys have suggestions for me, I always welcome those.  You can let me know here on the blog or in our Facebook group Craftie Minds.  If you're not a member, please come over and join us at www.facebook.com/groups/craftieminds.

Thanks for joining me this morning.  Until next time friends, stay Craftie! 😉
