A Card Sketch Thank You Card for SSInkspiration
Today I’m getting back in the saddle with the girls over at Stylin Stampin’ Inkspiration and made a card for today’s card sketch. I actually got some time to do a little crafting yesterday and I thought It would be fun to show some of the retiring 2012-2014 In Colors some love. So, with a…
Saying Goodbye to Oh Hello & the 2012-2014 In Colors
I knew it was coming…. the 2012-2014 In Colors were destined to be retired at the end of May this year, but it always takes seeing the retirement list come out for me to suddenly have this burst of new found love for the colors! So, as I was trying to decide what card to…
Have You Seen This in my Thank You Cards?
I send out Thank You cards to everyone who places an order with me – sometimes I get a little behind (like in February when we had health issues at home) but I try to make sure I get caught up. Well, yesterday, I was finishing up the last batch of Thank You cards and…
Getting Ready for a Card Bonanza!
I stayed up last night to start sorting out my card kits for my upcoming Card Bonanza this weekend. On Saturday, I’m hosting the event at my house and it is an All-You-Can-Stamp crafting event! I was shocked to discover that I have over 130 card kits ready to go based on over 50 card…
Little Bit of Love
I have a few more cards to share that have a love theme and so as we work our way to Valentine’s Day in a few days I thought I would post them here for last minute ideas. Today’s card uses the stamp set that I was so excited to get at leadership and have…
A Starry Christmas Wreath for a Card
Yesterday I shared a post highlighting the 4 holiday different cards I made using this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit, which made some cute Christmas cards. Well, I ended up with extra star garlands and I had seen a very simple card by Lyssa Zwolanek that used the star garland as a wreath and I thought…
A Fun Christmas Card and Coloring Tip for Embossed Images
So, this started out as me trying to figure out the answer to a question for my downline, Liz, about how to get rich color on the top of the flowers from the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder. I thought I knew what to tell her, but I wanted to try it out first so I could…
Sketched Birthday Card for the Birthday Bash!
Ahhh… back in the blogging saddle again. I’ll admit I’m feeling a little rusty (I know it hasn’t really been that long but it feels like ages to me!), but kicking back off with a blog hop is a great way to get the blogging and creative mojo happening again – for sure! Summer has…
Vintage Cards for Mother’s Day
Ok, so these cards don’t actually say “Happy Mother’s Day” on them… but the vintage feel and pretty colors just makes me want them to be Mother’s Day cards! Both of the samples I’m sharing with you today came from some amazing creators that I had the privilege of swapping with at Leadership this year. …
When You Need A Bright And Cheery Card
how about this one? All you need is some scraps and a couple punches and you have a sunshiney card for someone. I always seem to make 4.25” x 5.5” cards (since they fit so nicely in envelopes that the post office will mail with a standard stamp) but sometimes just a little card you…
Our Snowy Snowy Vacation
Just when I was sad that we didn’t get any snow in Seattle this year, I learned the day before our trip to Kansas that a winter storm was due shortly after we arrived in town. And we got in, went to bed, and woke up to tons of snow! While Caitlin wasn’t too sure…
