Craft Room Organization| IKEA ALEX 6 Drawer Unit

Happy Sunday!  I shared a video over at my YouTube Channel the craft items that I am storing in my Alex 6 drawer unit that I purchased from IKEA.  Like a lot of us, I like to see how everyone organizes and stores the crafty goodies - and this unit is my newest addition in my craft room!

I hope this may give you some ideas of some organization in your craft space!!  I will be back on Friday with a very special blog post!!  So, stay tuned!!

Colorful Stamping on Kraft Card Stock | One Layer Card

Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope all of you that celebrate has had a wonderful day with the one you love...even if you are single...its good to love yourself!!

I wanted to share with you on how to stamp with colorful inks onto kraft card stock!  I love the look of kraft - but it is hard to achieve colorful stamping just with the inks alone.  So, I wanted to revisit an oldie but a goodie technique.

With this tutorial, I also created a one layer card, which can be difficult at times too.  We all love to add dimension and pretty embellishments to our cards, but it is good to have one layer cards as they are easy to mail!

Below is my tutorial on this card!!

I love how this masked off technique also gives the illusion of dimension without having dimension at all!!

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the stamp set I used on the Stamps of Life website as it was a special thank you set for being a club member. But you could use any flower sets you may have to achieve the same look!  Enjoy the tutorial

Bright Spot In My Day featuring Lawn Fawn

Good Afternoon!
Today I am sharing this card I made using the Lawn Fawn set You Turn Me On.  This is such an adorable set.  It was released for their Valentine's Day release and I hadn't played with it yet since purchasing it, so I wanted to play with it today.

The design is relatively simple.  I wanted to combine some soft colors with a little bright - which the Plastic Flamingo Ink helps achieve that!!

As always I have a video below showing you my process!  And all of the supplies are listed and linked below for you.

Have a great weekend!
