With the new, more relaxed schedule at OnlineCardClasses, I was able to complete two more Christmas cards inspired by the Day 1 “Creative Insides” samples today (this time, Kristina’s Gift Card Pocket Card). The first one uses stamps from the “Decorate Your Holidays” set by Hero Arts, washi tape from Little B, and the […]

Bubble Stencil Christmas Cards
Last week I posted a birthday card where I used a design I created in Silhouette Studio as an overlay (you can find that post here – free cut file provided). Today I used the same design to cut a reusable stencil out of overhead transparency film on my Cameo. I’ve never tried this before, but […]
Snowy Village Etched Mini Cake Dome
Nothing elevates a simple piece of glassware quite like etching an intricate design into it. The entertaining and gift-giving season is upon us, so today I’ve created a piece that can be used to accent your own winter décor or would also make an elegant and expensive-looking gift. Simple glass pieces like this can […]
One More Christmas Card
I was working on one more Christmas card today and decided to keep the design pretty simple to highlight this cute image from Crafter’s Companion from their “Home for Christmas” stamp set. The image was colored with Spectrum Noir markers (listed below), inked with Tea Dye distress ink around the edges, and mounted on some […]

For their new challenge, you are asked to base your project on an inspiration piece from their blog, gallery, or catalog and use at least […]
Silhouette Stamping Kit Card
When I heard that Silhouette was coming out with a Stamping Kit, I was beyond excited…but, naturally, still a little skeptical. I mean, how could I possibly get use out of a stamp that wasn’t “deeply-etched red rubber” or the “highest quality photopolymer”? I got a pretty good deal on my kit from an online […]
Circle Sketch Challenges
I’m playing catch up after a nice long vacation, but here is a birthday card I made inspired by two different sketches…one at the Silhouette Blog and one at Online Card Classes: I designed my own circle border similar to the one featured on the Silhouette blog last Thursday (here), but instead of filling the […]
