Fun Birthday Wishes Card
While working on the sample for my upcoming Birthday Card Kit and Organizer class, I was trimming pieces from the cheerful Celebrations designer series paper. After one of my cuts, I looked at the leftover scrap and thought it was the coolest accidental trimming I had ever done and I just had to use it…
A Masculine Birthday
Here is a quick share for the day; it is my attempt at a masculine birthday card. My brother-in-law had his 30th birthday and I needed to get some card off to him. I didn’t want to use a tree set and many of my stamp sets used cutesy animals or had lots of flowers,…
Technique night – Masking and Reverse Masking
Last night was my August technique night with my meetup group and we focused on masking and reverse masking. For those of you not familiar with masking, this is the technique for using paper to cover (or mask) the area you don’t want to get inked. So, in this first card we did, you stamp…

I’m always looking for ways to use my stamps in different ways. Sure I love making cards, but sometimes you need something different and its fun to use your stamping supplies to add that personal touch. In this case, my sister-in-law’s birthday is 2 days before Christmas. So, when I bought her a gift at…
Trying out a new bag style – paper purse
So, I’ve seen a lot of folks make different paper purses/gift bags/bag in a box/etc and I’ve dabbled a little in making these projects but only a little. With my mom here for the holidays, she brought lots of project designs and creative motivation. So I decided to try something new. These purses are really…
