If I can find multiple ways to use a crafty item, I’m a happy girl. So, after playing around with the new “Circle Centre” Create-A-Card dies (coming to HSN on May 9th from Crafter’s Companion) for a bit, I thought I’d see if I could make a double swing card. You can just double the […]

A Shabby Chic Card Using the Rustic Cottage Collection
I’ve always admired the style, but never actually tried to make a shabby chic card. When I saw the pretty new Rustic Cottage Collection from Crafter’s Companion (airing on HSN today for the 24hr Craft Event), I decided I had to give it a try though. Because 3D flowers…well, we all know I love them! […]
Springtime Lily Card From An Adult Coloring Page
Phew…I haven’t been so happy to see a Friday in a long time! Pardon my absence, but I was hunkered down in the craft room this week trying to meet all of my design team deadlines (three tutorials and 8 HSN 24-hour Craft Day samples). The good news is that I’ll have tons to share […]

I ended up […]

I used my Misti to stamp the clematis image from Sheena Douglass on kraft cardstock in […]
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 […]
Springtime Mail Art
Have you ever had an extra special card or letter to send, and a plain white envelope just won’t cut it? Today I wanted to share my take on the “mail art” trend with these pretty springtime designs created on Cryogen White and Raw Finish A7 envelopes. The type of envelope you choose will depend […]
Giving Thanks Card
In just a few days here in America, we’ll be gathering around the table with friends and family, chowing down on some delicious food, and hopefully thinking about what we’re grateful for. I wanted to take this time to thank all of my amazing subscribers who take the time to comment on my posts, “like” […]
