Happy Tuesday Jaderbugs! I am super stoked about this week. I am finishing up on something HUGE and although I can’t tell you now, I promise to share in about a week. I know, I know… You are probably shaking your head at me right!

My good friend Ed Roth designed all of the stencils that I used today. I always look at his stencils and try to figure out what I love the most about them. I finally figured it out. It’s the simplicity of them. So many people think stencils have to be super detailed (don’t get me wrong he has a lot of perfectly detailed stencils) but you get what I mean. It’s the simplicity and repetition of shapes that attracts me the most to his stencils. I have been wondering what I would make with his small stencils and lemme tell you I figured it out. Since I am always mailing notes to friends I figured it would be much better if they opened an envelope to a hand crafted note card. RIGHT!

If you are thinking on the save wave path as me then let’s hurry and get on the stencil train…..or stencil ride…or whatever ride, cause it’s time to do stenciled notecards.

Don’t you love how detailed they are! I just know I will make someone smile with them!

* Blank envelopes
*Blank notecards
*Stencil 1 stencils
*Stencil pouncer

Start by placing the stencil on top of the note card. Gently press one side of the stencil to make sure it does not move.

You can use any stencil you want for this project. When you move to the next section of the note card place the top line of the stencil on the last one that you painted. This will give you consistency overall.

I put a little squirt of each color I am using on my pallet. I love the way dried paint looks.

Make sure to dab in multiple colors when doing one card. You can add a few colors to make it pop.

If you want you can even stencil the envelope!

I hope you enjoyed this crafterooo boo boo! Now off to get some other crafts done. Don’t forget to find me here! Let me know in the comments what color notecard is your favorite. I’d LOVE to know!

I am so excited to share with you the Top 10 Fashion Color Trends report for 2013. Pantone did it again. The color line up is exquisite and I can’t wait to see how all of the colors are incorporated this Spring! I especially love one color in general… Can you guess?

Pantone has a color survey that is really cool, you can take it HERE. To download the Spring 2013 Fashion Color Report PDF click HERE.

I am always using color in my life which is why I did this post. I think everyone needs to switch up the colors they wear or have in their personal space. The one thing I love about color is how it can transform things in literally seconds. Enjoy the line up I created for you. I hope you can get ton’s of inspiration from my collages I made.

Who would of thunk it! Paper Reinforcements make it so easy to get a perfect well polished DIY french manicure. I am loving this because I personally will not pay anyone for a manicure. Listen, this is so easy that I did it while I was actually working. Imagine that! I have tried using tape but the polish usually goes under it in some spots. Not good for me, hehe. Check out my UP inspired nails, they are so cute. Here is a DIY craft you can do with polish also! How fun!

Let’s get started:

Step 1: Paint your base coat first. The most important thing is to make sure the base coat is completely DRY before moving on to step 2.

Step 2: Place your reinforcements directly onto the nail tips like the picture above. You can decide how thick you want your tip to be. If you mess up while applying it on your nail you can gently remove the reinforcement and re-apply it.

Step 3: Paint the tips

Step 4: Remove the reinforcements as soon as you are done painting. If the paint dries before you peel it off, it can pull off some of the polish on the tip.

Step 5: ENJOY your beautiful new nails!

I hope you enjoyed this easy tutorial on getting a perfect manicure.
