It’s hard to believe it’s September already. I know the leaves will be changing colors soon here in Michigan. Those thoughts inspired my card for today. I like to send cards on holidays when someone isn’t expecting one. Thanksgiving is one of those holidays when I do that. I created these cards with that occasion…
I love that just by seeing Fall colors, you get a feeling for what the season is all about. 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…
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 my dear crafty friends! It’s Lia here at the blog today. I’d like to show you a cool technique called “ink smooshing” to make an autumn leaf. First put some distress ink on to a plastic board. You may use acetate paper as well. The colors I picked were festive berry, twisted citron and…
Here’s a quick way to make beautiful cards that actually looked more complicated than they are to make. Using the wreath builder set from Gina K Designs helps you breeze through creating them. But using the right paper sets the stage to make them even more beautiful. I love the look of the Royal Sundance…
Once my son’s birthday celebrations were complete, we were faced with the daunting task of writing thank you notes. Now, I was raised to write thank you notes for every celebration, and honestly didn’t mind it too much. I think perhaps that is how I developed my love for stationery design. But then I had…
I cannot resist “retro style” typography. When it’s a shadowed die cut–even better! Today’s card features all that and a layer of stenciled embossing– another favorite :). The star of the show however is the gorgeous silver and gold card stock from the CutCardstock shop. Pow Silver Glitter paper and Currency Cover Gold card stock….
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 Summer! Summer is the busiest time of the year for my family. With kids being home from school and all of the activities they want to join. My daughter and I had a little free time together the other day and thought it would be fun to dress up some paper straws. They are…
Creating a scene on the front of a card is fun and easy to do when you have die cuts to help you out. For today’s project, I thought there would be no better way to showcase the Pop Tone card stock than with this method. For my scene, I used these sun ray and…
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…
