When Life Gets Messy… Hang In There

Simon Says Stamp | Friend Like You Release
06/28/2025

Hi there!

We’ve all had those days—so why not send a little humor (and heart) in the mail? This card, made with goodies from Simon Says Stamp’s Friend Like You release, is a playful reminder that it’s okay to laugh through the chaos.

The bold sentiment? Yep, it’s from a previous release—and I love mixing old favorites with new products to keep things fresh and fun. But let’s be honest: it’s the birds that steal the show here. One is confidently perched, the other is clinging upside down—and both are sporting googly eyes for a little extra silliness. The soft ink-blended background keeps things chill while a few sparkly bits add a little shine.

Design Highlights 🪺

  • 🐤 Googly-eyed birds – These little guys bring serious personality and a touch of funny to the whole card.
  • 🌳 Dimensional branch – A sweet perch that sets the scene and ties it all together.
  • 💬 Old + new combo – The cheeky sentiment is from a previous release—I love mixing past and present products for a fresh twist.
  • 🌈 Softly blended sky and grass – A gentle background that lets the playful elements pop.
  • ✨ Sparkly gems – Because even chaotic days deserve a little sparkle!

Sometimes a little snark and a lot of heart is exactly what someone needs. 💛

Have a wonderfully creative day, everyone!

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
