While primarily a cardmaker these days, I also love any excuse to create pretty little packages for the kind of gifts you give for no reason at all. Handmade packaging provides me with a creative outlet and the recipient with just a bit more sunshine that day. Something about the new Sunflower Field HeroScape set […]
Hero Arts
Sunset Fishing Silhouette Card
Most of the time when I buy a new stamp set, I choose it because it’s pretty or something really different from what’s in my stash already. Every so often, though, I see a set that would be perfect for a specific recipient and I grab it right away. The cards I make with these […]
Rainbow Bandana Birthday Card
Of all the stamps in my collection, I think I love my background stamps the most. They’re just so versatile. I buy tons of line art image stamps, color them up, and throw them on a card…once…or maybe on really rare occasions, twice. But my background stamps? They get used over and over again in […]
Alpine Train Card
Have you ever made a slimline card…one that fits into a business-sized envelope? Before today I hadn’t, but I thought I’d share a tutorial to make this fun slimline card using one of the newest chipboard embellishments from the Clear Scraps shop. As soon as I saw this cute train shape, I knew I wanted […]
Heart Confetti Valentine
With Valentine’s Day just a few days away, I thought it would be fun to share a card that is bold and pretty, but super quick and easy to make. Background dies like the Window on Love die from Hero Arts always make for quick cards because they don’t need much embellishing to look finished. […]
Unbearably Thankful Card
I love winter with all my heart, but we’ve been having warmer weather here lately and it seems to have made me skip right into early spring cards. Will I get back to making frosty wintertime cards before Easter rolls along? It’s hard to say…but I am happy that my current mood gave me a […]
Bright Floral Hello Card
Two weeks ago, during the post-holiday slump, I mentioned that I wasn’t ready for bright spring florals yet…well I guess I found my way out of that slump! The Friendship Blooms stamp set has been sitting on my bench for months. Inspired by tons of beautiful samples all over social media, I bought it as […]
Sparkly Thanks Card
It’s the day after Christmas…time to put away all of the gorgeous holiday stamps and dies, including the ones I wanted to use and never found the time for. My favorite crafty time of the year is over and although we have a whole new year’s worth of holidays to look forward to now, I’m […]
