I had some time to play with my September 2014 card kit from Simon Says Stamp today and decided to make an encouragement card for my niece who will be returning to school soon. The stamp set is a super fun one this month…at least for the kind of girl who grew up dreaming of […]
Simon Says Stamp
Sending Cool Thoughts
One more quick post today…I’m trying to catch up on my homework from Stretch Your Stamps 2! Here I watercolored some of the ice cream images from the “Ice Cream Dream” set from Simon Says Stamp using Peerless Watercolors and attached them to a “parachute” made from the top of an umbrella (“Sunnier Days” from […]
Using Leftovers from my OWH Memorial Day Bloghop Card
I don’t always generate a ton of scraps and half-colored images when I make cards, but it definitely occurs more when I’m challenged with a certain color scheme or sketch for another blog or online class.

Floral Hexagon Card
I love all of the patterned papers from the new Basic Grey “Fresh Cuts” collection 6×6 pad (probably going to be one of my favorite paper collections of all time!), so I wanted to find a way to use them all on one card. After punching out tons of little hexagons using my Fiskars small […]
Embossed Stencil Get Well Card
Since I got so far behind in OnlineCardClasses.com’s Stenciled class, I decided to start on my card for Day 4 (today) first, and then work my way backwards this week as time allows. I really liked Julie’s use of a stencil to emboss and then ink her background, so I used a stencil I had […]
