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!
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
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!…

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…

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
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
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…
