Lettuce Celebrate Handmade Card Idea
The cute new set Market Fresh is the focus of today’s handmade card idea. I see tile coasters in this little set’s future! 😉 I think the Farmers Market Designer Paper is the perfect pairing on this card design. I did a little watercoloring over the image to add just a hint of color. I […]
Kid’s Birthday Card and Paper Gift Bag
I needed to make a kid’s birthday card and paper gift bag today for a two-year-old’s birthday party. I actually bought this set (Blast Off – retired) last year to make a card for his first birthday and didn’t get it done, so here I am a year later. LOL! I’m picking up a harmonica […]
Christmas Card Sunday: Christmas Wishes
It’s Christmas Card Sunday again, and for this handmade card I’ve pulled out the retired Christmas Wishes stamp set. So cute and versatile, I didn’t even have to use designer paper with it.

Handmade Graduation Card: Remarkable You
My niece is graduating high school today and I wanted to make her more of a nontraditional handmade graduation card.

Handmade Christmas Card Designs: Peace on Earth

From the Herd Party Animals

Memorial Day Cards
Today I decided to focus on Memorial Day cards to express our thanks for those who came before and made the ultimate sacrifice, and for those currently serving, too. Thank you!
