In the cardmaking world, there is so much beautiful inspiration all around us. Most of the time, I’m inspired by color combinations I see on clothing or home decor or techniques another crafter posts on Instagram. But, a few months ago, I saw this gorgeous card by Janette Kausen on the Hero Arts blog and […]

Autumn Thank You Card
Peeks of yellow and orange are just starting to show on the trees in my area so today I thought I’d share a tutorial to make this bright autumn thank you card using chipboard embellishments and stencils from the Clear Scraps shop. What I love most about stencils is their versatility…and sometimes you can find […]
Stamped and Stenciled Autumn Cards
It’s true, I’ve been stenciling a lot lately…but with so many beautiful new stencils being released, it’s hard not to try a bunch of them out when they’re one of the cheaper and more versatile craft supplies we can buy in this hobby.

The S’Mores Bonfire stamp […]
Back To School Bookmarks
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had a love of books and even dreamed of having one of those giant libraries with the sliding ladders in my house when I grew up. Although my kids are still young, I hope to pass the love of books onto them too. And with them, […]
Nordic Christmas Tree Card
I’ll be honest, I don’t usually start my Christmas cards this early. But, when Hero Arts releases a sampling of pre-release products from their new winter collection (find out where you can get them here)…well, I can make an exception so that I can order and play with them right away! This stamp set is […]
