Good morning! Sharon here, although the temps are in the upper 90’s I’m going to be talking about snow today! Hopefully my card will cool you down a little. I start my Christmas cards at the beginning of the year, making a few each month so come and follow along while I show you how…
I remember some of our first Christmas seasons after I got married. There wasn’t a lot of money to decorate a tree, or mantels. In the same way, my kids are starting to experience the frugal decisions they need to make during the holidays, as they start out in their own apartments. This project inspired…
Do you have a favorite season? I absolutely love Spring because of the flowers, the smell of fresh-cut grass, and the hope for summer! If you’re attending a party (or even hosting!) here is a fun project you can make that holds treats for 4 people, and you can customize it any way you’d like!…
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…
Around this time of year when the whole world seems to be in love, I like to send my single friends pretty cards to let them know I’m thinking of them too. With a little coloring and a fun stamped background, this cute card comes together quickly and easily and is perfect for multiples. Start…
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’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…
I’ve been wanting to create a die cut wedding invite for a while now, and knew with all of that intricate detail I needed to balance it out with subtle colors. With CutCardStock having a sale on all of their white and ivory card stock this month, I decided to go for it. I’m usually…
Happy Friday my crafty friends~ Hope you are all enjoying the summer. Wish you the most beautiful day with this card! Use translucent vellum paper to trace or draw the picture. And then cut the white cardstock using ScanNCut machine. The cardstock used here is the Savoy cotton cardstock, which is made of pure cotton….
Do you love to make fancy shaped flowers, but don’t like the time it takes to color them? I also like to color the back sides of the flower petals and leaves. I have found that by starting with a colored cardstock I can save some time. Here I created deep red poinsettias by starting…
Confession time. I may be using the term “card” a little loosely here. This form is one of my favorites, and I’ve used it for everything from an elaborate card, to a mini album, to a book full up of tags. However, you don’t have to make the origami book guts–you can add a fancy fine translucent vellum liner paper and…
