Today I have a very simple card to share with you. When I decided to make it, I knew I wanted to keep things very simplistic and clean. In a way, the card is helping me send the message to “slow down, take time and smell the flowers”; a message that often needs to be…
Eli here. I recently bought this adorable stamp image of a girl holding a big’ole cup of coffee from Whimsie Doodles: Cafe Lizzie. It is a digital stamp which means you buy it off a computer site and print it with your own printer: any size you want and as many times as you want….

Wow. I love what Shannon created earlier this week for a single layer card. See it here. I wanted to try a similar technique but I must admit I wanted to cheat. I really wanted to create a card with a single layer but with a few bling things: beads, buttons, ribbons… It’s hard for…
Konnichiwa, everyone! Today I’m going to show you how to create a really pretty card made with just one layer…no paper piecing, no ribbons, no additional layers whatsoever. Might sound boring, but it’s the complete opposite. It’s a challenge to create depth, texture and perceived layers without actually adding additional pieces of paper or other…
