Once again, I had a card idea that I’ve been sitting on for a while and this week I finally got around to trying it out. I love how it turned out so much that this will be one of the cards featured in April’s Cards to Go kit (so if you want step-by-step instructions…
Oh my, where has the time gone? I was talking with someone yesterday about how we had time to get their Sale-a-bration order in so they could get the Fresh Vintage stamp set and they reminded me that the 31st is Saturday!! Crazy! So, since I know there were some folks out there who had…
I’ve been wanting to try out Faux Tiling for a while and thought the big flower image from the Fresh Vintage stamp set was perfect for this look! To make the Faux Tiling look on your cards, I grabbed my Simply Scored score board and the matching Diagonal score plate to get the grid…
Last night was my Creative Card night and it was the perfect opportunity for me to try out a few different card ideas that I had been wanting to play with. One of those ideas was to play around with a design by my downline, Pam Wu. She had made this very cool card using…
Did you realize that when you shop with me, you are earning your way to a free stamp set? It occurred to me recently that I hadn’t talked about my Customer Rewards program in a while and I have a number of fabulous ladies who are sooo close to earning their FREE stamp set. So,…
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but while a lot of the country is seeming sunny and warm, Seattle has been getting strange bouts of hail and snow. Rain, i would understand in Seattle in March, but snow?? Weird. Anyway, I needed to put together some thank you cards for some recent orders and I…
Today I wanted to share a couple more samples from my watercoloring class. In my last post, I shared a card we did using chalks and for today, I thought I’d show some cards using watercolor crayons and markers. As you can see, the medium you use for your watercoloring gives you totally different effects!…
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…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Hopefully today finds you in your finest green attire; even if that just means green inky fingers! 🙂 It’s a day that I mostly get to celebrate these days by digging some green out of my closet and remembering to listen to some great Irish music…or at least Irish singers. Has…
Can you tell, I like this stamp set? 🙂 I know, I get a little addicted to stamps that have matching punches; but it makes things come together so quickly! Well, for my recent show, I decided to make these easy little treats to hand out to people who stopped by my demonstrations. I put…
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…
For the first time in I don’t know how long, I actually created a scrapbook page without copying a sketch or a sample of someone else’s. All because I got my hands on the new diagonal score plate for my Simply Scored and wanted to play with it! I had a ton of scrapbooking ideas…
