I Hope You Like Butterfly Cards!
I was able to spend some time in my stampin’ studio this weekend, and when I was done I realized I had created a number of butterfly cards. I must be ready for spring! Or maybe it has deeper meaning, something about the transformations my life is going through… but it’s about 3:00 in the […]
Valentine Card Ideas
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Are you looking for last-minute Valentine card ideas? I put this one together in about ten minutes, and most of it was deciding what I wanted to use for a design. 🙂 I used the small heart punch for the flower petals, punched from the red patterned paper in Polka Dot […]
Thankful For You
What a sweet way to say, “I’m thankful for you.” What’s sweeter still? Many of the things I used on this card I got FREE during Sale-A-Bration! The banners came from the whimsical stamp set Banner Blast, which you can find on page 13 of the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. For the longer banners I just put […]

New Alphabet Stamps
Have you ever needed a specific saying and didn’t have a stamp for it? The new Sans and Stripes alphabet stamps could be the answer.

Happy 21st Birthday Card!
Happy 21st birthday, Marcus! My son’s 21st birthday is here — where does the time go? — and this is my birthday card for him. The silver foil paper (132178) made it a bit challenging to photograph, but hopefully you can see it okay. I ran it through the Big Shot using the Argyle Embossing […]

I Miss You Card
This understated I Miss You card came together quickly with a little designer paper — can you guess which one? 🙂 — and the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (113439). I love the neutral palette of the Modern Medley Designer Paper (126926). Sophisticated on its own, it’s just as beautiful with an added accent of color. […]
