Stampin' Up punches
Hello Ladybug
Have you ever tried the Two-Step Stampin’ technique? It’s like a crafting cheat to make incredible layered designs effortlessly. The Hello Ladybug Bundle is a perfect example of how to make the most out of Two-Step stamps. You stamp one image—like the ladybug wings—then you stamp the coordinating image—the spots that fill in the wings—and […]
Need an angle for your next card?
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 […]

Kid’s Birthday Bonanza Triple-fold cards

Dragonflies in Flower & Field DSP gift card

Very interesting card. It was part of a “Mystery Stamp” session. In the past, I’ve been successful in creating a card I […]
