You Got This FREE cards and cut outs

Hello! How are you doing? I'm guessing COVID-19 has affected you in some way. I am getting the hang of our new normal. My kids are online learning and homeschooling now. My husband is working from home. All our plans, church, and vacays are cancelled. But we are healthy, happy, and hopeful for the future. I decided to make some cheery cards and cut-outs to document this time in my life. The latest news report, the crazy toilet paper crisis, learning to be my kids' teacher and lunch lady. Being quarantined with those I love- and staying as positive as I can. Twenty-twenty is not what any of us expected it to be, but we are learning to roll with it. I wish you and yours the very best. Here are some free cards and cut-outs for you to document your life right now. 

You got this!

Sprinkles

I am so excited to get to be part of the Cocoa Daisy design team. I was a guest designer for them in July, but other than that, this is my first official month designing with them. I loved all the cute stuff I got in my Cocoa Daisy Subscription box for November. The kit is called "Sprinkles." My very favorite thing was these chipboard words and number tags by Dear Lizzy. 

 I decided to fringe the paper and make cards. It was really fun slitting the paper with scissors and layering them on a card made of white cardstock. Then I added little words from my typewriter. 

  

I recently had a birthday, and this paper was PERFECT to document the occasion. Those darling chipboard words are what really made it so fun. Oh and also the pink bubble gum ice cream. 

Our new family pictures:

This 12x12 page was my very favorite to make.  My favorites: all the white space, a big banner, sewing, and a black and white photo. 

  

The last project I created with this kit was my Top 10 Reasons Why Fall is My Favorite. I wanted those letters to make a big statement, and adding a real dried leaf made it fun.

i love you more than my iphone

I am LOVING the We R Memory Keepers pocket scrapbooking cards called "Love Notes." It is super fun. I made this card for some friends that just got married. The I love you more than my iphone fit them well, and it insired me to type up some hashtags on my typewriter and add them to the pocket. Typing hashtags on my typewriter made me smile, it may have been the first time anyone has done that. Haha. Then I glued the pocket to the inside of the card. 

 Then I typed right on one of the pockets. This one is going in my planner. And I LOVE the quote. 

simple heart cards

These are pretty self explanatory- I simply punched out hearts with different patterned papers, layered them together, and sewed  them onto a white card.

 

interactive christmas cards

I've been wanting to do an interactive card for a while now. This year, I did it! I designed my 5x7 cards, leaving a blank spot to be die cut out. I used a square punch and punched the hole in each card. Then I made a little pocket on the back to hold my photo strip in place. A little washi tape on the end of the strips, and voila- it pulls through. 

These took a little more time than usual Christmas cards, but they were so fun to make, and we got a lot of fun compliments from our friends and family.

 And how about those darling stamps? I LOVE those stamps.

 Mailing them off is always the best part. I think Christmas cards is one of my TOP favorites during the holiday season. Its so fun to send some cheer to friends and family.

And this is how I displayed my cards this year.
