Thanks Card ~ My First Simon Says Stamp Shipment

My first card using Simon Says Stamp products!  I challenged myself to use minimal supplies for this "Thanks" card.  I'm happy with the way it turned out an I love the printed background created by randomly stamping the "Thanks" sentiment over and over in different fonts (all included in the one stamp set (link below)).

BeYOUtiful Bluebird Card

Set the scene for Springtime with this Be-YOU-tiful bluebird card.  I used a sew-on embellishment as the wing on my Springtime Bluebird to add interest and dimension.  I added texture with die cuts and stickers.  Pull out your stash, get Craftie, and see what a beYOUtiful card YOU can create.

Wire Wrapped Heart Pendant

Create your own heart-shaped pendant for Valentine's Day using wire and a few beads from your stash.  I love the creative freedom that comes with wire wrapping.  I'm not bound by a predetermined shape and size.  I can form my wire into any shape, in any size, that I want.

Nothing says Springtime like a newly hatched baby chick.  I've got yet another punch art project for you using my nesting egg shaped dies... This time I'll use them to actually create an egg! 😉  This little baby chick would make an adorable embellishment for Easter or any other Springtime craft project.
