It’s crunch time for Christmas! Do you have anything left to do? I needed one more card to finish my stack for this year to get them in the mail for tomorrow. I had this cute stamp and die set called Nativity from Art Impressions in my stash, and I thought it would be the…
Welcome back to Day 4 of the Holiday Countdown! Niki here and today I thought I would share with you a technique that a friend of mine shared with me a couple of years back. Using woodgrain paper or cardstock, you can make a super nice weathered wood look with some gray dye ink and…
Hello and welcome to Day 3 of our Holiday Countdown! Niki here and today I have a clean and simple card for you featuring die embossing and a little bit of no-line coloring. I used a super thick piece of Savoy 236# Cotton cardstock cut to 5-1/4” x 4” to make the card front. You…
Hello and happy Monday to you! Niki here and today I have a cute (and quick!) thank you card you can make for your crafty friends. Recently, I picked up some new craft goodies and I couldn’t wait to try them out on my favorite cardstock. I’m in love with the texture of Royal Sundance…
I love foxes, do you? They are the cutest little creatures. Today I thought I’d make an autumn fox card for you with a gratitude theme using Royal Sundance Felt Cardstock. I really like this cardstock because of the texture. It looks similar to watercolor paper, and since I won’t be using much water while…
I woke up this morning with the idea for this card stuck in my head. I don’t usually use Perfect Pearls because I have an aversion to fine dusts and loose glitters (my desk is right under an A/C vent). But, there was a sheet of Pop-Tone Hot Fudge on my desk that I wanted…
Happy Monday! Do you have a bunch of seasonal decorations that you swap out through the year? Our house didn’t really have a place for me to set up a pretty display until this past weekend. I finally got the shelf I wanted for the corner of the kitchen, so now I have a place…
Hello! Niki here and today I have another birthday card idea for you. You can never have enough birthday cards tucked away, am I right? This one is for someone a little extra special since it takes a bit of time to color. 😉 To start, cut an A2 sized piece of Classic Crest Solar…
Stripes are my favorite pattern. Well, that and polka dots. Most of my closet is full of striped tops & shoes. They look so good with jeans, don’t they? And jeans are my everyday uniform since I work out of the house nowadays. You know what else stripes look good on? Cards. I have a…
Hello! Back on Independence day, I posted a fireworks card on my blog (linked at the bottom of this post). I really liked the stencil, so I challenged myself to create a brighter colored version using the same type of layout. This is what I came up with. For the fireworks, I masked off an…
Aren’t summer weekends fabulous? There’s nothing like a lazy Sunday afternoon… except maybe a lazy Sunday afternoon that includes a tea party! I made these cute little treat bags as favors for an afternoon summer tea this past weekend. It was full of bright colors and sunshine, and of course good food and friends, so…
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…
