I’m sharing a card over on the Pink & Main Blog today using the brand new Cheers set from the latest release. The images were colored with Chameleon Pens…full review coming soon, but I’m finding these pens to be a lot of fun for dual color gradients like these! The checkerboard table was drawn out […]

Sketched Flower Birthday Card
A few weeks ago, I shared this card on the Silhouette blog where I used alcohol-based markers (Spectrum Noir in that case) to color designs created with the Silhouette sketch pens. At the time, I had sketched and cut out a ton of designs because I wanted to try a variety of styles. Today’s share […]

Custom Handwriting Stamps
I was looking for a way to make my cards just a little more personal…and with handwritten sentiments being so big, I thought I’d try to make my own handwriting stamps. Now, I am in no way deluding myself into thinking that my lettering can compare to some of the beautiful designs I’ve seen lately…but […]
Purr-fect Birthday Card
Today, I’m sharing a card I made for the latest Inky Paws Challenge over at the Newton’s Nook Designs Blog…there’s still time to play along if you’re interested! The challenge was to use wood, cork, or metal on a project, and I chose to use all three…plus a few extra materials because I just couldn’t […]
