Blessings for a New Year




Happy New Year everyone.  I am wishing all of you the best for 2019.  I wanted to start the year off with a monochrome color Blessed card I made with the fabulous Erin Lee Creative products using the Wreath Stencil.





I started with SSS Mint Card stock. I used distress ink in Cracked Pistachio to add color to the stencil.  It was a little darker than the card stock which turned out nice. I then used applied a light shading of the same ink to a white card stock and cut out the SSS Blessed die cut twice to make it more dimensional.  I embossed a sentiment in white from the MFT Anything But Basic Friends Stamp Set. Finally I added some clear droplets from Pretty Pink Posh. I added my card panel to a white Neenah 110lb card base.



For my second card, I did the same process but left the Blessed die cut white to make it pop more and added the card panel to a Neenah Desert Storm 80lb card base. I love the way this one looks. I left off a sentiment to keep the card simple and it can be customized for the recipient on the inside.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get creative in the new year.  
Here's to making 2019 the best it can be.  Cheers!

Just Starting Out

Hi there and welcome to my blog. This is my very first post and I am super nervous. Just a little info about me.  I live in sunny South Florida.  I have an amazing husband and little girl who we both adore.  I love to craft and create.  We are all quite crafty in my family.  My daughter loves to spend time with me in my craft room.  She also loves to help my husband in his wood working shop. I have been crafting for several years.  I started out sewing, and moved into machine embroidery. Then I moved into paper crafting and card making.  My husband bought me my first Cricut machine and Cuttlebug and it took off from there.  Yeah, he's pretty awesome. I started this blog as an outlet for me to share my creativity and maybe inspire others while I'm at it. I believe in sharing kindness through crafts.  Cards and other handmade things always brighten people's day and I enjoy spreading that kindness.  I am on instagram as  Swift_Creations  so come find me and check out s
