  • Have a Blue Christmas

    Today I thought I’d share the final card from my Holiday Stamp-a-Stack last weekend.  I wanted to get away from the traditional reds and greens and ended up playing with some blues instead.  I don’t know why I always forget about using white craft ink on cardstock, but thanks to a sample I saw on…

  • More Fun Ideas for Crystal Effects

    Each month I hold a technique night focusing on some different product or crafting technique.  Well, this last Tuesday night we focused on Crystal Effects.  I think Crystal Effects is one of those products that I often forget on the shelf but when I pull it out and start playing around I have so much…

  • Simple holiday cards with a side of bling

    Well, December is finally here and like usual I suddenly realize that I need to get my Christmas cards put together and my mailing list organized.  Thankfully I was running a technique night this last Tuesday and so we created three fun holiday cards.  The actual card designs aren’t too complicated as the focus was…

  • Finally able to post pictures

    So, while away on my trip, I tried posting the pictures from last week.  Unfortunately, my internet connection was apparently not good enough to make that happen, so I wanted to get out a quick post this morning.  Like I said last week, we had a great time getting ready for the holidays by making…

  • A Quickie Christmas Card

    So, I finally decided to start doing challenges on Split Coast Stampers and so I just did my first one, which was for SU demonstrators to come up with quicky holiday cards.  I still think I could have gone a bit more simple but at least the technique is very easy.  I think all told,…

  • Swap card overload!

    So, I showed you a couple posts ago about the cool gifts I was given and projects I made at the group meeting on Saturday. I also mentioned that I participated in a card swap. The other ladies made such awesome cards that I had to share! And here are a few of my favorites!

  • Holiday Stamp-a-Stack Sneak Peak – Part 2

    I told you I had more sketches than necessarily for the Holiday Stamp-a-Stack this Saturday but I decided to make them up anyway.  Unfortunately I spent way to much time last night trying to figure out how to make one of my sketches work (it never did end up working) so I only got through…

  • Sneak Peek at the Holiday Stamp-a-Stack

    So, Saturday is the holiday stamp-a-stack and I have been working on creating samples for some of my sketches. Last night, I was planning on getting them all done, but then I remembered I needed to finish glueing together the cardfronts for a card swap I’m in, so while I got all 11 of those…

  • Another early Christmas card

    Here is another Christmas card I put together trying to use just a few pieces.  The layout is not too complex but I just love how it turned out.  The hardest thing about this card was making the bell gold and still have the bell’s ribbon red.  I didn’t have a gold marker, so I…

  • Color blocked Birthday Card

    I have seen a number of really cool cards that use color blocking for their backgrounds.  I’ve been wanted to try to create one myself for a while but it wasn’t until I got concentrated card making time that I got to try it out.  These layouts are great for using up scraps and are super…
