Happy Monday, friends! I just received my holiday orders last week, and I’m so excited to dig into the new products and papers! For today’s card, I used one of my new favorite stamps sets and of course my favorite Basis Cardstock to create a post-office-friendly holiday card. I went a little backward with this…
Happy Halloween, y’all! Since there are lots of posts filled with pumpkins and ghoulies going around this month, I thought I’d share an autumn floral card with you today. I have a great tip for you! When you can’t figure out how to color a bouquet, look up examples of flower arrangements on Google. That’s…
Do you send thank you notes to others? I do. I’m a firm believer that you can never have too many thank you notes stockpiled in your stash. I even carry a few around with me in my planner, just in case. Everyone enjoys a handwritten thank you now and then, so why not up…
Are you planning a Halloween party or family get-together for Thanksgiving? We try to do a little something each year, either a Halloween party or a fancy Thanksgiving, or both! There are three households close to one another here in San Antonio & Buda. We like to designate a house, and all the families will…
Happy September 1st to you! Are you ready for autumn to make its entrance? I sure am! I love the cooler weather here in Texas; it reminds me of summer back in Canada 😃 Today I thought I would use this post to officially make the switch from my rainbow summer palette to the warm,…
I love working with just plain white cardstock, don’t you? It’s like a blank canvas – there are so many techniques you can use to make projects uniquely your own. One of my favorite techniques is applying ink through a stencil, which is what I did to make the background for today’s anniversary card. I…
Have you ever tried quilling? It’s very relaxing! I used to do a lot of custom quilling orders back in the day. Now, I only do it for fun or for special occasions. Today’s card features a quilled balloon design that, with the right tools, is pretty easy to make. Make the Quilled Pieces…
Do you like dots? I like dots. It’s a classic pattern on home decor, clothing, paper… you name it. I needed to make a congratulations card today for a younger friend of mine since she received a promotion at work. Pretty sweet, right? But the usual “congrats” sentiment didn’t really suit the recipient – I…
Weddings. Don’t you just love them? All the people, dresses, cakes, traditions, and decoration options often make me seriously reconsider a career as a wedding planner… except I’m terrible at planning. 😃 So, I just browse through Pinterest and pin all the things I like in the hopes that I can use them for inspiration…
Do you keep your paper trimmings when you make projects? A lot of crafters and makers do, and I’m sure you will too after I show you a fast and easy set of cards I made today. With the warm weather in full swing and the kids out of school here in Texas, I’m back…
Do you keep a set of everyday notecards? I carry a couple of simple ones with me because you never know when you’ll need them. I think it’s always a good idea to have some ready to go at a moment’s notice. Emails and texts are great, but nothing really measures up to the feeling…
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?…
