✨ Welcome to Messy Magic Friday ✨

Over the next five Fridays, I’ll be showcasing the beautiful Looking Glass collection from 49 and Market. This series will feature their gorgeous patterned papers, detailed laser-cut elements, and coordinating chipboard pieces, along with a little sparkle from glitter glue and some glossy finishing touches with glazing glue.

These cards were created as part of a virtual class hosted by Stamplicity Paper Arts, and I’m so excited to share each project with you week by week.

I hope you’ll join me every Friday for a little crafty inspiration, creativity, and of course… a little messy magic! ✨

Crafting with a cat… because apparently my assistant believes sitting directly on my project is part of quality control. 🤦‍♀️🐾

Welcome to Messy Magic Friday! 🎨✨

Here is a look at the second page of my art journal from my latest creative session. I’m continuing to explore the beautiful Hello You Collection by Elizabeth Craft Designs—designed by the incredibly talented Devid Rudenberg.
