It’s hard to believe it’s September already. I know the leaves will be changing colors soon here in Michigan. Those thoughts inspired my card for today. I like to send cards on holidays when someone isn’t expecting one. Thanksgiving is one of those holidays when I do that. I created these cards with that occasion…
I love that just by seeing Fall colors, you get a feeling for what the season is all about.

I started off…

Happy Labor Day creative friends! The sun is shining, school is back in session, and I’m excited to have some creative time again. Today I decided to take my work outside and enjoy these last days of summer. It’s been ages since I’ve created a floral pattern, and I’ve been admiring the wildflowers (weeds?) that…
Did you know you pay extra postage for a square sized card? Well that’s if you use a square envelope. You could always put a square card in a rectangle envelope. I love square-shaped cards but don’t like paying extra for postage. So I decided to turn my square card into a standard A2 size…
Hello card stock fans!!! Lisa Lahiff here today and I have a fun little tutorial showing how I made these cute and simple magnetic bookmarks. I don’t know about you, but I LOVE bookmarks, and plus I’m always needing one, and my son is the same way. So I thought with the start of school…
I’ve been wanting to create a die cut wedding invite for a while now, and knew with all of that intricate detail I needed to balance it out with subtle colors. With CutCardStock having a sale on all of their white and ivory card stock this month, I decided to go for it. I’m usually…
