Maybe you’ve heard of the most simple formula to create a little container out of one sheet of cardstock? If you haven’t ever used the 2-4-6-8 method, I’d like to share it with you today. It’s quick and easy, simple to mass produce and fun to make all your own with stamping and embellishments! To…
Are you an inside hotel camper or a tent camper? I’m a hotel camper. But I could not help making a cute little scene card with these little bears sitting by the camp fire. I wanted to have two little bears by the campfire with their cute little lanterns so I gave mirror image stamping…
I’ve been playing with gilding flakes this month. After watching many video’s, I decided to take the plunge and make some cards with them. The shiny flakes look great with the bright colors of Basis Card Stock that is on sale this month. Are you ready to try out something new? To get started, you…
So Mother’s Day just ended and we’re moving onto Father’s Day cards and gifts, right? Growing up, my family did not celebrate father’s day or mother’s day. Our parents do so much for us that it wouldn’t seem far-fetched to believe every day is mother’s and father’s day. My parents in particular sacrificed a lot…
Retro graphics on cards bring a fun and carefree feel that I love. I think they work really well for masculine cards too, so for today’s card, I brought in some fun retro-style stamps and dies to pair with Basis Cardstock. Since the stamp I’m using, features a man driving, I used a wavy die to…
Hi friends! We can all use more ideas and inspiration for masculine cards, don’t you think? Since most of them are more earthy toned and geometric, the trick is to do neat stuff with textures. At least that’s my theory, haha! Today I have a Father’s Day card for you that I made using Texture…
Have you ever felt that sympathy card is the hardest type of card to make? It is the toughest type for me. One of my friends’ sister passed away recently, I hope my card could bring him comfort. I thought about using black cardstock initially, but felt that it is too heavy. So I chose…
Hello creative friends! Hooray for Monday! I know, you don’t often hear people celebrate Mondays, but I happen to love them. It means my kids are off to school and my husband is off to work, so I get the house back to myself (and back in order, which takes half the day!). I’m SO…
I don’t know about you but I have a really hard time making a masculine card. I love flowers and want to added them to everything but I don’t think men would appreciate them like women do. So the card I have to share today was fun because of the little critter relaxing but a…
Why does it seem so difficult to create cards for the guys? I hear it often. Guessing it’s because we use so many floral stamps. Florals are one my favorites!! Although, I think selecting the right colors help make a card masculine instead of feminine. I tend to reach for blues and greens for the…
Hello friends! Isn’t it nice when you can make your own embellishments for a card? While it can be a bit time consuming, it’s totally worth it when it lights up the recipient’s face (or day)! Today I’m going to show you how I put together some mini magnolias to make this pretty card for…
Hello friends! Spring is in the air – (somewhere) right! I love this time of the year we celebrate some special days here in America one of them is Mother’s Day. For my design today I created two lovely Mother’s Day cards for two amazing ladies in my life. I cut two Classic Crest Solar…
