DIY Customized Foam Core Shelving for Markers

Hi guys,

Today I'm getting organized with you all!

Since discovering the world of stamping and card making I have been looking for ways to neatly organize my markers, but couldn't find anything that really worked for my space. So as a DIY'er, I thought I could come up with something that worked for me. And, I absolutely LOVE the results and had to share it with you all of course.

This shelving/storage unit measures ~ 8 inches high, 16 inches wide and has a depth of 5.5 inches.

Super easy and inexpensive to make!

You could use the same principles I used in creating this one and customize it for your space. Organize your stamp blocks and ink pads, washi tapes, ribbon... the possibilities are endless!

Simple Woodsy Wedding Card | SVGCuts

If you read my last post you know that I recently attended a wedding this past weekend. Click on the link if you missed it and want to see the cute personalized wedding gift I made for the cute couple.

So for this post, I want to share with you this simple card I made using a card file from SVGCuts Five Minute Card SVG Kit. The cool thing about this card was that when I made it last week I really had no idea what the wedding theme or decor would be like this weekend... but to my surprise, it totally had a woodsy feel to it. I was really excited to see that my card was a perfect match for the evening and the couple! Funny how sometimes things happen that way ;)

When I making this card I had imagined a tree with the couple's initials carved into it. Trees to me symbolize strength, growth, family, and forever and was why I thought it would make a cute card. The original design of the card has "love" written in the center of the heart, but of course, I always have to put my own twist on it and added the couple's initials. If you look closely you can see right through the plus sign between their initials... I thought that was pretty cool!

For this A2 card, the files were cut out using the Silhouette Cameo. I used craft cardstock and a sizzix embossing folder to create the wood impression.  I then rubbed some walnut distress ink along the edges. I added some Wink of Stella to the tiny hearts and the flower petals for a little sparkle. I finished the card by embellishing it with a wooden button and a twine bow. I left the inside blank as I wanted enough room to write a message.

Hope you guys liked my Simple Woodsy Wedding Card today.
 I wish Stefano and his beautiful Bride Breanne, the happiest of marriages. May their love grow stronger and deeper with time.

Mother's Day Cards | SVGCuts

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers reading this post!

Today I wanted to share with you all the fun cards I made for the moms in my life. Since I was making some for myself, I thought I would make a few more for my children's school Auction that took place this weekend. The cards are all same with a few different embellishments. Love how they turned out and hope you do too!

These first cards are perfect for the mom that sews. 

I stamped the inside of the cards with a stamp from Craftin Desert Divas -Happy Celebrations stamp set.

The papers I used comes from Carta Bella's Sew Lovely Paper Collection. Love this paper!!!

Here is the same card with a different Carta Bella Collection. The papers for this one comes from Homemade with Love.

This paper is perfect for the Baking Mom in your life!

The files for this card all come from SVG Cuts Cards for Mom Kit.

I used pieces from 3 different cards in the kit to come up with this design. Sweet and simple.... especially when making multiples!

Hope you liked my Mother's Day Cards! I think this design could also be used as a Valentine's Day card or even an Anniversary card.
