  • Create a Flower with Petal Parade

    Create a Flower with Petal Parade

    Turns out I’m the queen of last minute!  I knew that I was on-deck for a card for the Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration design team this week and I really did keep meaning to create some fun flower for our “Create a Flower” theme today.  But next thing I know, it is 9:15 last night and…

  • Chalkboard + Polaroid = Unexpectedly Cute Card!

    Chalkboard + Polaroid = Unexpectedly Cute Card!

    My brain has been filled with getting things ready for my Demonstrator Stamp & Share event I’m planning for Saturday (I’m super excited though – 4 hours of stamping, demonstrations, displays, and door prizes! How can that NOT be a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon? )  But that means when it comes time…

  • Stacked Die cuts for a Cool Ombre Effect

    Stacked Die cuts for a Cool Ombre Effect

    I was working on cards for an upcoming card class for The Scrapyard Chicks April Workshop and one great technique Kerry mentioned was stacking die cuts to get a cool ombre or rainbow effect on your cards and projects.  It looked so simple but just a neat effect that I just had to try it!…

  • Sweet Sunday Card with People Like You

    Sweet Sunday Card with People Like You

    Happy Sunday and “SPRING FORWARD” day!   Did you set your clocks ahead yet?  Its funny, I always use to hate this time change because of losing an hour, but now as a parent of toddlers, I love that it means that bedtime is a little bit earlier today.  ha ha. Also, if you haven’t…

  • A Rugged Thank You Card

    A Rugged Thank You Card

    As I was working on Thank You cards recently, I decided to take a break from all the flowers and pinks that I seemed to be using lately and try to come up with a card that could be useful for a guy or a girl.  I wanted to use my new Starburst Sayings stamp…

  • Eggplant and Gold Banner with Banner Blast

    Eggplant and Gold Banner with Banner Blast

    Right now, everyone is LOVING the Banner Blast stamp set and punch from the Sale-a-Bration catalog and so I wanted to sit down and play around with my supplies to see what I could come up with.  Turns out, it is really quick to come up with something cute and fun – this is what…

  • Cheery Thinking of You with Petite Petals Flowers

    Cheery Thinking of You with Petite Petals Flowers

    Whew!  I’m back to the land of the living! I went to bed last Thursday night thinking of all my plans of what I was going to finish and get caught up on on Friday (aka Valentine’s Day).  Instead, I woke up in the early hours of the morning with a terrible stomach bug!  So,…

  • Super Fun Spring Wreath with the Burlap and Blooms Kit

    Super Fun Spring Wreath with the Burlap and Blooms Kit

    So, I can make cards.  And I can make scrapbook pages.  I can even make boxes and bags out of paper. But when it comes to making cute home décor items, I have to admit I struggle a little bit.  Not because I can’t make them, but because the interior-decorating eye doesn’t come naturally to…

  • The Gift Bow Die is Back!

    Do you remember all the super cute creations that were made with the Gift Bow Die over the holidays?  I was shocked that the die wasn’t carried over when the Holiday catalog ended, but then I checked my computer today and IT IS BACK! Gift Bow Bigz Die – #129977 See, you can make cute…

  • Spring Birthday Card with Six-Sided Sampler

    Today I wanted to share with you a fabulous card I received this month as a swap card from fellow stamper, Stacey Lane!  She joined my Fun n’ Crafty stampers last fall and creates the most amazing cards!  Seriously, I need to start attending her classes.   But each month our group does a swap…

  • Make a Wish–Neutrals and Gold Birthday Card

    So, if you saw my blog post from yesterday, I shared a card that used the Oval Framelits to cut out a frame to highlight some vellum in the center of the card.  The frame effect was really cool, but I was left with two, pretty big ovals when I was done.  Wanna see what…

  • Birthday Celebrations with a Treat Topper and Card

    Earlier this week, Nicholas (my now 4yr old) had the chance to celebrate his birthday with his Preschool class.  It’s a special circle time they call a “Birthday Circle” and they all sit around and the birthday child can have mom/dad/siblings come in for the circle while they share photos or something special about each…
