With about 10 million Downton Abbey fans in the US, surely one of my readers must have religiously watched the show…am I right? I had the opportunity to work with some of the fun new Crafter’s Companion papercrafting products that were inspired by the series, including the “Official Downton Abbey Luxury Cardmaking Kit” (available on HSN next week […]
Card Kits
Be Happy Shaker Card
I’m back today with a quick shaker card featuring the newly-released “Believe Script” stamp set from Pink & Main. This set is actually sold out right now because of that gorgeous font and the wonderful sentiments…but it will be back in stock soon! I love all of the tiny “sparkly” images included in the set…they […]
Designing Basic Tag Shapes in Silhouette Studio
It seemed to make sense to start my Silhouette tutorials out pretty basic for any newbies out there – how to manipulate basic shapes to create some simple and useful designs. If you’re a Silhouette Pro already, hopefully there’s a tip in there for you anyway or you enjoy seeing the finished product. There are […]
Back to School Encouragement Card
I had some time to play with my September 2014 card kit from Simon Says Stamp today and decided to make an encouragement card for my niece who will be returning to school soon. The stamp set is a super fun one this month…at least for the kind of girl who grew up dreaming of […]

Cherry Blossom Fans Card
Hey ya’ll…just stopping in for a quick share of a card I made with my Simon Says Stamp April 2014 Card Kit. I didn’t really have anyone to send lightbulbs to…so when I saw the stamp set included in the kit, the light rays actually looked like little fans to me. And since it’s almost […]
Floral Hexagon Card
I love all of the patterned papers from the new Basic Grey “Fresh Cuts” collection 6×6 pad (probably going to be one of my favorite paper collections of all time!), so I wanted to find a way to use them all on one card. After punching out tons of little hexagons using my Fiskars small […]
Stenciled Heart Card
For the first day of OnlineCardClasses.com’s “Stenciled” class, I was inspired by Debby’s sponging technique to make this valentine: I’m only about 80% satisfied with this…but it’s late, and I have more cards and a design team project to make tomorrow, so this is my final answer. I sponged the background with Memento Luxe inks […]
