Happy Birthday to you…. I needed a few more birthday cards for birthdays that are approaching fast. I started with a A2 Card base of Curious Metallic Cryogen White Cardstock. I used the new colors of Tim Holtz’s Distress Oxides to create a colorful background. I love how the shimmer shows through. I used a…
It’s back to school for most families which means trying to stay organized. A planner is a great way to stay organized. I have been working on personalizing my planner. The tabbed pages are were from a previous year and are on a thin paper. I have a few months that needed to be finished….
Neenah Classic Crest is such a reliable card stock for so many techniques. There’s a reason why so many card makers and paper crafters recommend it across the board for things like stamping, Copic coloring, and even watercolor techniques – it is truly great quality. I have a pack of 80 lb Classic Crest in…
I am in love with the traveler’s notebook (TN) journaling system, as it’s built around this idea of individual inserts that you can use together and swap out when you’re done with them. I was once more into using a TN for all my planning needs. Lately, I’ve regressed to using my phone calendar and…
Inspired by the season in which many new and exciting things are happening (graduations, weddings, you name it!) I’ve decided to create a card of congratulations for practically any occasion. The colors could easily be swapped out for a more “masculine” feel – I was especially in the mood to work with reds, purples, and…
So… you have to make a card for a guy, but you don’t have any boyish stamps sets. Sound familiar? As the proud owner of a stamp collection that is about 80% floral designs, I feel you. What if I told you cards for men don’t need to be all about tools, grills, and cars?…
Dads are a special group of people and deserve special cards. It is always a challenge to make a new card for my dad because he keeps all the cards. I kept this card simple but elegant. I started with a Basis White 110lb cardstock for the card base, Curious Metallic Galvanised cardstock, Basis Grey…
What is the one cardstock everyone needs in their stash? Silk Glitter Opulent Opal cardstock is one of my go to papers. I can create my own custom colors with Copic Markers or Alcohol Inks. The smooth finish makes it easy to work with and the glitter still shines through. I started with a Curious Metallic…
As we are on the cusp of April and the seasons are changing I thought it would be fun to make something that could easily bring the brightness and cheer of the outdoors into your home – even if (like me) you don’t have much of a green thumb. I have a ton of spare…

Do you have trouble making sympathy cards? Me too. I always want to color with bright colors and happy sentiments, but sometimes a sympathy card will end up being what’s needed, so it’s always good to have a few on hand. It’s likely that you will know someone who lost their pet recently. For some…
