  • Birds of a Feather Thank You

    Every year there is a pack of designer paper that I completely overlook until I get the paper in for my new catalog DSP paper share.  Then, as I pull out the sheets to cut it down to 6×6 pieces, I discover some hidden gem.  This year, Birds of a Feather is that paper pack!…

  • Yet Another Betsy’s Blossom Card…now with Framelits

    Ok, apparently I’m a fan of the Betsy’s Blossom stamp set. 🙂  Here is another card that I made recently with it…. again, highlighting some of the new and cute designer series paper. 🙂  Though this time it is the Floral District paper.  I thought it could stand on it’s own pretty well don’t you…

  • Bordering on Romance Thank You

    The end of a catalog year always leaves me with stamps and accessories that I’m so happy are going to continue being available… and stamps that I’m sad are going away.  This card has both! I love that Bordering on Romance is carrying over but boy am I sad that Sincere Salutations is being retired.…

  • Peek-a-boo Butterfly Card

    Today I have a quick card share for you.  I’ve been enjoying playing with this style of card design where you punch out an image and use the paper that is left behind as your main image.  I grabbed a pack of (retiring) designer paper – Berry Blossoms – and my (retiring) butterfly punch and…

  • A Bright and Bold Thank You

    One of my goals right now is to use up my scraps – whether left over pieces when cutting paper or stamped and punched images that I decided not to use on a previous project.  So, when I was working on thank you cards for customers, I grabbed some left over pieces of designer paper…

  • So Long Summer Smooches & the Occasions Mini!

    I got a reminder email last night that told me today was the last day to place orders from the Occasions Mini catalog and I had to pull out my calendar to check…. how in the heck did we hit the end of April already?!? But I guess we did, which means today is your…

  • Simply Charming

    One of the stamp sets on the 2012 Retiring Stamps List is the set Charming. This is a cute little set that when it came out was promoted as being the perfect size to use with the Simply Adorned charms.  I was slow to try out Simply Adorned and so my set has sadly, not…

  • Time For the New Summer Smooches Suite

    For the first time in a long time, I didn’t preorder the sneak peek products – the Summer Smooches Suite.  I know, I know… if you get the perk as a demonstrator to get to see and order them early, why wouldn’t you?  I guess I was indecisive about what I wanted but I knew…

  • Using Up Those Scraps!

    So, I recently reorganized my craft room yet again.  I’ve been fine tuning it for efficiency for how I find I craft in my space.  Well, after the last clean up, I realized I had a ton of useful looking scraps lying around on my table.  Now, normally I brush them into a pile and…

  • Watercoloring with Chalks Card Sample

    One of the things I love about teaching technique classes is that I’m often reminded of how cool a technique or a product is that I haven’t used in ages.  In this case, it is using my Stampin’ Pastels (chalks).  I ran a watercoloring technique class this weekend where we used 5 different methods for…

  • Mixed Bunch Quick Thank You Card

    There is something about being a card maker that somehow has tweaked my brain to where I can never seem to let a package get mailed from my house without a card in it!  Even if I’m ready to walk out the door to the post office, I have to walk through my craft room…

  • Berry Blossom Thank You

    Something you may not know about me… I tend to be an overthinker.  That holds true for my card making sometimes.  I sit down with an idea and then take forever tinkering with colors, embellishments, layout, etc.  Well, yesterday was different!  I needed some thank you cards and wanted to get them done before the…
