Since I tend to send Easter cards only to my younger nieces and nephews, I like to make them kinda different and fun. This card project is easy to pull together thanks to lots of die-cutting using supplies from the February 2018 My Monthly Hero Kit from Hero Arts, a few simple techniques, and some […]

Romantic French Anniversary Card
Wedding and anniversary cards can be tough to create because of their often intricate and elaborate designs…but with thick and high-quality cardstock (like the stuff I love from CutCardStock!), a simple and pretty card like this still makes a big impact. Start by trimming a piece of Basis Black Cardstock to 5.5″ x 8.5″ and […]
Simple One-Layer Notecards
Sometimes I get so caught up in all of the beautiful dies, fancy tools, and coloring media available these days, I forget how nice it is to just sit down with some stamps and ink. And truth be told, most of the people I give cards to could care less how much dimension, texture, and […]
