I am always looking to make something different and unique and that usually drives me to try different papers, color mediums, styles, etc. Today I decided to try pencils on Curious Metallic Cryogen White. I recently read several posts from my crafty Facebook feeds that people enjoy using it with pencils because it has some…
Hey everyone! July and August is summer party time across the world. For smaller gatherings, I like to create invitations to set the mood and theme of my gathering. These invitations are so quick and easy to put together but make you look like you slaved for hours! Let’s get into how to do it….

In recent years, I have come to realize how important good friends are in this world. I wanted to make something special to tell my bestie how much she means to me. She and I share the good and the bad, the hilarious and sad. One thing is for sure, I’m an imperfect person but…

If you’re a card maker you probably have memories of making handmade paper gifts going way back to grade school. This project has that simple feel but is still sophisticated with a woodgrain background and the added benefit of having 3D flowers for extra interest. I cut the flower and stems using an .svg pattern…

Usually I use glitter as a background or small touch but today I’m showing off a card that uses glitter cardstock for the main image.

One thing I love about being a card maker is that I get to make special cards for those extra special moments. Welcoming a new baby is one of those times. I don’t know about you but I think it’s hard to find anything more precious than a sleeping baby. Today’s card celebrates all the…
