Vintage St. Patrick’s Day Card with FREE Printable!

Genevieve Speegle

Welcome! What a “lucky” day to be here! I have a fun YouTube video detailing the step-by-step process for making this fancy vintage-inspired St. Patrick’s Day card and folio.

I love vintage style everything, but these colors really are some of my favorites to work with.

This special greeting card is also fully embellished inside with pockets, banners, tags, and more!

Here’s a printable collage I made for you, if you’d like to make this card as well (or just play with some fun St. Patrick’s Day ephemera):

Has Christmas Gone to the Dogs?

Genevieve Speegle
I had an exciting project this week.  My mom wanted me to make a special Christmas card for her hair dresser who loves dogs.  Hmmmmm….OK.
I started searching Google for any interesting designs and eventually landed on this beauty.  I was LOLing at my computer and knew it was perfect!
I embellished the curlers with Stickles and then made the snowflakes with a Sizzix die.  I used sticker paper upside down for them and then added lots of loose glitter.  Finished it off with a rhinestone brad and lots of tulle.
Inside, I wanted to do some kind of hair-themed statement, so I hand-stamped this unique Christmas sentiment:
I think it was a hit ~ my mom didn’t even send it to her hair dresser for 3 days, as she wanted to show all her friends first.  That’s the best!  🙂
Merry Christmas!
XOXO

Phineas and Ferb Father’s Day Card

Genevieve Speegle

Happy Father’s Day! 

Here is a special card that I made for my hubby.  He and our son love to watch Phineas and Ferb, so I wanted to play on that.

I’m running upstairs now to give him the card (we let the big guy sleep in a little this morning).
Hope you all have a blessed day!

I Think, Therefore I Scrap.

Genevieve Speegle
One of the things I like most about making cards is that the themes are unlimited!  I find that happening often as I become a more “experienced” crafter. 
A few years ago, if my hubby had come to me one night and said:
“My buddy at work is having a birthday in two days.  Can you make him a special card?  He’s a philosophy major and loves Descartes.  Go!”
I would have had a panic attack and threw together a birthday card featuring a duck and some left over glitter.
This time, however, I went with it.  I took a few minutes to think about what I wanted and made it happen (vs. making something happen around what I had on hand).  I’m totally into printing my own papers and images now and it has really expanded my creativity.
This card in particular, features Descartes (I think, therefore I am) and I did a play on it with this birthday greeting:

He took it into work last week and everyone went nuts over it (I love it so much when that happens.  It makes me feel all warm and squishy inside), so I decided to list it in my various stores as well. 
Wish me luck!  🙂
