Handmade Card Designs: Bloom With Hope
Sometimes I like to use a sketch to help inspire my handmade card designs. For this card I started with a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, and although my center focal piece kept getting larger and larger, I think you can still see the basic sketch in the card. LOL! I grabbed the greeting from […]
Create a Birthday Card With Your Paper Scraps
Create a birthday card with your paper scraps. I made this one for my niece’s upcoming birthday this week. As I was rummaging through my stash I found a square of decorative punched card stock that I had saved. The decorative edge was messed up in a couple places, but did I just toss it? […]

Create Christmas cards that sparkle and shine! This is one of the make & take projects we made at our team get-together last month. Pretty, right?

I stamped the image twice, using one of them to cut out the teapot and greeting to “pop up” over the base image using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I […]
Cute Homemade Halloween Invitations
Aren’t these homemade Halloween invitations cute? Or you could simply use them as Happy Halloween cards. This cardshare was so simple, and required very little stamping. I’d say it was quick & easy, but there was a little bit of cutting involved. I think this would even be an easy Halloween craft for the kids. […]
Thanks Card
This thanks card doesn’t look anything like the idea I had when I first started out… flowers and frilly. Does that ever happen to you? I had a clear vision in my mind, but as I selected my designer paper and began the process of designing the layout, it just evolved into what you see […]

The beautiful scrolled medallions pattern in the paper does all the work for me, so I didn’t need to create any other design element. Love it! I mounted the patterned paper and the birthday greeting on […]
