I’ve mentioned many times how card sketches and templates make my creative job much easier. Today’s sketch is from Stampin’ Up! and one of the easiest ones that I’ve come across lately. And it has an added bonus – it allows me to use my smaller pieces of Designer Series Papers! WooHoo! I used the […]
Happy National Dog Day!
This is for all my family and friends who have dogs. Celebrate them today and every day since they are a part of our families! And in honor of today, I’m sharing a few “dog” cards I’ve made recently. Enjoy! I really miss this Playful Pets DSP. And I’m really excited to start making Christmas […]
Did you miss the Hope Box?

Usually, the kits are for subscribers only. But […]

I’m so excited…I learned something new!
Isn’t it fun when you try something new and it actually works? The first time?! I got my first set of blending brushes yesterday and I tried them out immediately on a simple card I had planned on my craft table. I envisioned a Balmy Blue circle (cold, artic feeling) to show off my Penguin […]
More All Squared away cards
Yesterday I shared my cards I created using just the Floral Squares dies from the All Squared Away bundle. If you missed them, see them here. Today’s cards use the All Squared Away stamp set and dies and have the greetings stamped on them. I’m branching out with my color choices of the bold Gorgeous […]
