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…
Happy Friday my crafty friends! As the Lunar New Year is here, spring is not far away, and so is the wedding season. Today I’m going to show you a wedding card to say congrats to a new couple. Die cut the frames of a couple (Stardream Metallic Fine Gold Cardstock) and “Happily Ever After”…
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…
New Year’s occasions are all about shimmer and shine, so today’s project is all about Stardream Metallic card stock. Using Metallic Silver, Metallic Lagoon and Metallic Jupiter, I made a Happy New Year card that would be perfect as a thank you or to accompany a hostess gift for a party. To start, I trimmed…
I take a lot of pictures during the holidays, and sometimes I want to send copies to loved ones along with a Christmas message. I like to use bigger envelopes for this to fit the pictures and maybe pop in a flat card with a quick greeting to accompany the pictures. For today’s project, I’m…
Welcome to more of the Holiday Countdown Series for 2018! You can never have too many gift tags in your stash for the holidays. There is always that last minute package that you forgot the card for and needs a quick greeting added to it. For today’s project, I have some easy tags you can…
I have always been drawn to Folk Art images whether it’s in books, on ceramics or on greeting cards. The intricate designs and crisp, graphic look just draw me in. I recently received a beautiful Folk Art Christmas stamp with a magazine I purchased and wanted to try it out for a Christmas card. I…
I’ve been experimenting with fun color combinations lately after taking a color theory class. I love using navy cardstock, so for today’s project I paired the rich, dark Royal Sundance Midnight Blue linen cardstock with Neenah Environment Desert Storm cardstock. I added a peek of Basis Light Lime for interest. I started off by stamping…
A happy coffee cup and a punny sentiment are perfect for sending smiles. My project today features a beautiful panel of Royal Sundance Fiber cardstock in Rose. This is such a delicate shade of light rose I thought it would be pretty to heat emboss some hearts on top using a pewter colored embossing powder….
It’s hard to believe Halloween will be here soon. Wasn’t it just Christmas? :). Today I have a cute rather than creepy Halloween card that’s clean and simple with lots of bright, happy color. I started off with a comic strip background die I cut from Pop Tone Orange Fizz cardstock and adhered it to the front…

A calm warmth, getting settled in for the colder weather, leaves changing, hot drinks :)…..For today’s project, I wanted to capture that feeling on a card with some ink blending and simple stamping. I started off…
