Alpine Train Card
Have you ever made a slimline card…one that fits into a business-sized envelope? Before today I hadn’t, but I thought I’d share a tutorial to make this fun slimline card using one of the newest chipboard embellishments from the Clear Scraps shop.

Sparkly Thanks Card
It’s the day after Christmas…time to put away all of the gorgeous holiday stamps and dies, including the ones I wanted to use and never found the time for. My favorite crafty time of the year is over and although we have a whole new year’s worth of holidays to look forward to now, I’m […]

Winter Sparkle Card
Yesterday I watched as a small group of deer bedded down in the woods at the back of my property just as the first flurries of the season fell, and I was immediately inspired. When inspiration hits, I need to grab onto it and hold on tight…because chasing after two toddlers drains a lot of […]
