Most of time when I sit down to make a card with a new stamp set or die, I just play with the supplies until they inspire me. But occasionally, I’ll have a very specific layout or color scheme in mind from the start and I’ll end up trying a few different ways to execute […]

Cattails at Sunset Card
Now that the days are long and nights are warm, I feel like I’m appreciating sunsets more and more lately, so today I’m sharing a quick tutorial to make this dreamy summertime card using chipboard embellishments and stencils from Clear Scraps. I started by inking a 5″ x 7″ panel of white cardstock with purple, […]
Metallic Plaid Card Duo
I love making quick and simple floral cards that can be used for a variety of occasions. With a show-stopping metallic background thanks to the high shine of the Bright Foil Cardstocks from CutCardStock, your card projects can come together quite quickly because they won’t need much embellishment.

Killing the Simon Says Stamp February 2017 Card Kit
I love subscribing to card kits…it probably has something to do with the automatic arrival of fresh, new goodies every month and the inclusion of items that I might not normally use otherwise. I’ve tried Paper Pumpkin from Stampin’ Up, My Monthly Hero from Hero Arts, StampTV kits from GinaKDesigns, and Simon Says Stamp Card […]
