Today I just wanted to share a little gift card box that I made recently with my CAMEO to house a few small crafty items along with a gift card to supplement the supplies. This box design is the 3D Doily Hinged Box by Jamie Cripps found here in the Silhouette Online Store and goes […]
Hero Arts
Perfect Pearls Star Map Card
Just a quick share today with the card I made for Day 2 of Stretch Your Stamps 2…more background stamps: The “Vintage Constellation” stamp from Hero Arts was stamped with Versamark ink on some black cardstock, covered with blue, purple, green, and white perfect pearls (not their names, but you get the picture), and then […]
Watercolor Inchies Card
I wanted to try Shari’s technique today from Day 1 of OnlineCardClasses.com’s “Stretch Your Stamps 2” class…and I did. I don’t love how this turned out, but I think the colors are pretty and at least I have several more watercolor backgrounds I created alongside it to play with at a later date when I […]

While I did break down and buy those little jars of clear and white paste, I couldn’t rationalize purchasing any stencils when I have a […]
Twine Underlay Card
I was playing around with this stencil cut from Hero Arts today and decided to try something a little different. Although I started out using washi tape underneath, later on I changed it to a glitter and twine underlay and I’m pretty happy with the results: To compensate for the thickness of the twine, I […]
Simple Holiday Card with Plaid Stamping
Here’s another quick post today to share a couple of cards I made using the plaid stamping technique from Day 3 of OnlineCardClasses’ Holiday Card Workshop combined with the inlay technique from Day 1. The plaid pattern was stamped on a scrap of cardstock using a stamp from the “Cupcake Party” set from Simon Says […]
