Today is my Birthday and I am so excited for an afternoon where I don’t have to do anything except kick back with some great music and pull out all my preorder goodies and craft, craft, craft! But before I got elbows deep in paper and ink, I wanted to share with you a card…
Today over on the Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration blog, we are sharing some quick and easy cards for you. So, I thought I’d share one of the cards I created for my Stamp Club this fall. I kept it quick to go together thanks to my handy Big Shot and the Scalloped Tag Topper punch, so…
I hope you don’t mind one more card using Kinda Eclectic but I think this one is pretty different from a lot of the other cards I showed you. I’m sharing it as part of the Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad’s Quick & Easy Cards post for today. So check out my contribution: See, quick… easy… and…
Every month as I start working on cards for my monthly card class and stamp club, I remember why I love doing this. It is always fun to create a card of a scrapbook page based on what I see, but for me, it gets even more exciting when I think about what I can…
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!…
It’s been a crazy few days around our house here in freezing cold Washington… surprizingly it has been actually hanging out in below freezing temperatures here (normally we are cold but not this cold!) My stamping and blogging time has been put on hold a little bit as we’ve celebrated my daughter’s 2nd birthday this…
I don’t know about you but last week was crazy busy for me! I had 2 classes, a craft fair, Halloween events, and the usual everyday life stuff (if you are curious to see some of what I’ve been working on, I’ve been posting pictures up on my Facebook page here). It was one of…
Recently, my mom showed me a new way to try coloring in your images with your markers. To show me what she was talking about she created this card: It uses the new Flower Shop stamp set and punch sitting atop the stem from Field Flowers. Great idea, huh? Now, to do the coloring, she…
Since tomorrow is the last day to get in on the Early Bird pricing for my All Occasions Stamp a Stack featuring Button Buddies, I thought I would share another card we will be making next Friday. This may be my favorite card from the set, just because of the simplicity of the card but…
At a recent class, I focused on different ways to use Paper Piercing in your projects. Well, we made this card as a way to show how you can use a design from the Paper Piercing Templates without needing to have the matching Big Shot die or punch. See, as much as I think of…
I was going to share this card today because it was a card that I created recently as some customer thank you notes and I just loved how it turned out. It is so easy to try to overcomplicate a card and feel like you need to keep adding layers and embellishments… or maybe that…
It is days like my birthday that I’m reminded of how much a homemade card really means. This year, I felt really special to receive some unexpected cards in the mail (and in person) and they were cute cards too! So cute in fact that I just had to share them with you all! card…
