Clean and simple will always be my favorite when it comes to card making. I love to start with a crisp, white backdrop, then take it from there with a cute and colorful focal point. For today’s project, I started with my favorite basic white card stock from the Cut Cardstock shop–Cougar White Super Smooth…
Happy hump day to you! How do you find inspiration for your projects? I’ve been looking at clothing trends lately to find inspiration for my cards. Today’s design came from a dress I spotted on Amazon. It was a half black, half white sheath dress with an aqua design separating the colors. I didn’t want…
Some days you just need to remember to breathe…. A special friend recently went through a difficult time, so I created this to remind her to just “breathe”. I started with Pop-Tone Cardstock in Razzleberry (my favorite), Cotton Candy, and Pink Lemonade. I stamped and die cut the Classic Roses from Heartfelt Creations. I inked the…
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…
It’s tough to keep smiling when you’re going through a rough patch in life. In fact, my eldest son just experienced a small setback in his career yesterday, so I’ll be sending him a little encouragement later on this week. I’ll make his card with more of a masculine theme, of course, but the card…
I love sparkle! It shows up a lot in my projects and for this card, I had some fun with some some new supplies and shimmery glitter paper from the CutCardStock store. I used some POW! Silver Glitter paper along with a bit of POW! Black Glitter paper for this sweet thank you card. I…
Hi! Friends thanks so much for stopping by today. I love this time of the year! It’s Spring and Easter is right around the corner. For my design, I stamped my image unto Curious Metallic Cryogen White Cardstock with soft stone ink. I love how easy it is to color with my Copic markers on…
In my heart I know that spring is near, but as I lace up my snow boots and step out into the knee-deep fresh snow here in northwest Montana, I’m reminded that it’s still winter! So I decided to crank up the heater in my craft studio and transport myself through seasons with this fresh,…
With Valentine’s Day over, there are bound to be some weddings in your future. Here is an elegant easel card for the special bride and groom. I started by stamping Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose with Silver Delicata Ink on Classic Linen Solar White Cardstock. I used the matching dies to cut them out, and…
My goal this year is to send out a few more cards just to say thinking about you. I created these bright and cheerful cards in hopes that spring is just around the corner. I started with a selection of Pop-Tone Cardstock cut to 4″ x 5.25″. I chose Razzleberry, LemonDrop and Grape Jelly. CutCardStock.com…
I always find it a little difficult to make cards that aren’t “happy,” do you? It’s easier to make them as an everyday hello or as congratulations on an achievement. But, if you find it tough to get going on an emotional card, sometimes all you need to do is mute the colors a bit…
Happy Halloween, y’all! Since there are lots of posts filled with pumpkins and ghoulies going around this month, I thought I’d share an autumn floral card with you today. I have a great tip for you! When you can’t figure out how to color a bouquet, look up examples of flower arrangements on Google. That’s…
