Hello, hello! Samantha here. Do you know what one of my very favorite things to give as gifts are?Mini cards! They’re perfect. Small, easy, and quick to make. Today I’m going to show you how to decorate two of the ten mini note cards that come in the Bazzill 3×3 Scallop Mini Folded Notecards +…
Retro designs are such a fun way to add some flair to a clean and simple card. For today’s project, I added fun star bursts and geometric shapes to some plain vase stamps I had in my collection. I used Basis card stock in a variety of pretty blues as my color palette. Finding the…
Have you ever heat embossed glitter paper? I’ve got two cards and a video featuring this technique. Come check it out! I’ll be using MirriSparkle glitter paper today in Gold, Silver, and Evergreen. The glitter is so finely milled that the paper feels smoother than most glitter papers I’ve used. This is what prompted me…
I feel like fashion and glitter go hand in hand, so for today’s project, I combined the cutest stamp set with some of CutCardstock’s gorgeous glitter card stock. To create the frame and highlight all that great sparkle, I used a die from Altenew that creates these really thin rectangle frames. I cut three sets:…
Hello, everyone. Samantha here. Sympathy cards are definitely not my favorite cards to make or give. However, during a time of grief and sadness, it is good to be able to give a little bit of comfort in the form of a card. Since death is both inevitable and unpredictable these are good cards to…

The pastel colors of the Easter season are so pretty. I love all the mints, pinks and robin egg blues. I thought that Curious Metallic cardstock in Aloe/Pale Green would be such a nice choice to create a card inspired by this color palette. To start, I embossed a panel of Cougar Super Smooth #100…
I can’t resist a retro rainbow, so with St. Patrick’s Day coming up, I had to include one on my clean and simple card for today. It’s easy to create rainbow stripes using just two pieces of Post-It Tape and the grid on your craft mat for a guide. I masked off very tiny stripes…
When I want to add some extra elegance to my cards, I like to use linen card stock. There’s something about the texture that makes it seem so fancy! Many times, I use it as a liner for the inside of a card I make with dark card stock, but for today’s project I’m keeping…
Happy Valentine’s Day! For today’s project, I was excited to break out my new Hearts Entwined stamp from My Favorite Things and try a clean and simple card. I love the look of bright colors against dark gray, so the backdrop for my project is a notecard I made using Classic Crest card stock in…
One of the sentiments I see a lot in stamp sets is “sending happy thoughts”. This is one of my favorite greetings to send to people because it let’s you know you are right there cheering them on in their journey or just reminding them that they are important to you. For today’s project, I…
Merry Christmas! Today is Christmas so we should be done with our Christmas cards, but I have a snowy winter card to share with you. The sentiment could be for Christmas too! This card is very simple and came together really fast using Stardream Metallic cardstock in Crystal. I love the little bit of shimmer this cardstock has;…
