Cozy Bookish Cardmaking with Not 2 Shabby

Hey friends! Today I'm sharing a little project share video over on YouTube featuring three cards I made with the Not 2 Shabby January Box of the Month.  You can watch it below on the blog, or on my YouTube channel.

The card I'm sharing here on the blog today features the cozy Raining Books and Boots paper pad. It was inspired by a childhood memory of being told I always had my "head in the clouds" because I was constantly lost in a book. So I colored up some images from the Rainy Reads stamp set in the box of the month, fussy cut, then layered up the images on some cloud panels I cut with dies from my stash.

💡 Design Tip: Layering Fussy-Cut Elements

Don't be afraid to cut your stamped images apart! By cutting the girl separately from the books and cookies you can "tuck" items behind her or in front of her to make a scene come to life.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a fantastic day!

Sweet Vintage Vibes for Valentine's Day

I am head-over-heels for the new Vintage Valentine EZ Postage Printable from LV Handcrafted! Here’s a quick look at how I put this romantic card together:

• The Postage Grid: Cut using the EZ Wonder Die #3 from one of the pages in the collection.

• The Layers: I matted the vintage couple and the heart and roses images on black EZ Wonder #3 Add-ons die cuts and added the fussy-cut heart and bottle as one of my vignettes.

• The Sentiment: A little "crafty surgery" went into this! I snipped my sentiment from the Gnome Love Card Kit in half and created custom-width black banners by double-die-cutting them with the EZ Wonder #1 Add-ons.

• The Glow-Up: A white gel pen for detail and Stardust Stickles for a hint of magic.

Does this collection tug at your heartstrings as much as mine? Let me know in the comments!
