  • Snowmen Will Melt Your Heart

    There’s just something about a snowman that I can’t resist.  Whether they’re real snowmen, snowmen cookies, or snowmen stamps…I love them all!  So when I saw this adorable new stamp set from Rubbernecker, I knew right away that I wanted to create a pretty slimline card showing these guys off in a frosty winter landscape.  […]

  • Mug of Christmas Cheer Card

    It happened the day after Thanksgiving in my house…normally I’m not so on-top-of-things, but this hasn’t been a normal year, has it?  Last week, all of the wreaths, tinsel, and bows came out of the attic and onto as many surfaces as possible in my house.  I even brought out some of the holiday dishes […]

  • Slimline Halloween Card With Die-Cuts

    Have you seen all of the cute new Halloween dies from Rubbernecker?  I wanted to use so many on a card today that they just wouldn’t fit on an A2-sized card…the slimline format is perfect for these situations!  With tons of floating and flying creatures, I thought it would be fun to have them creepy-crawling […]
