Masculine Monday with Burlap, Woodgrain, and Word Bubbles!
I know many of us struggle with masculine cards. I often find it so easy to reach for my flowers and rhinestones and pinks and whatnot; but when I need to make a card for a guy, those go-to items suddenly don’t seem to be quite the right fit. Well, as luck would have it,…
My Favorite Banner Card Yet!
I just realized this morning that I hadn’t shared this card yet and I love it so much that I figured I needed to fix that! This is my favorite card yet that I’ve made with the Sale-a-Bration set Banner Blast and I know a lot of it is the color… and the bling… and…
Create a Flower with Petal Parade
Turns out I’m the queen of last minute! I knew that I was on-deck for a card for the Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration design team this week and I really did keep meaning to create some fun flower for our “Create a Flower” theme today. But next thing I know, it is 9:15 last night and…

How can that NOT be a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon? ) But that means when it comes time…
Happy St. Patricks Day with a Pansy Punch Shamrock
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! It snuck up on me, but thanks to my hubby, I remembered to wear green this morning. 🙂 Well, last week for my stamp club, I shared this cute little tag as a bonus project to show another great way to use that Pansy Punch. Turn it into a fun shamrock…
A Burst of Sweet Sorbet & Petal Parade
I was going through the cards I had photographed recently and realized that I made this card a while back but had never shared it here on the blog. So, why not share it today! I’m usually such a hoarder with my designer series paper that I have a hard time using large pieces of…
Comparing the Different Flower Stamp/Punches in One Card!
Last night was my monthly Stamp Club night and we always make a couple cards using the latest stamps and products. But this month I wanted to focus on different ways to use some of the stamps, dies, and punches they already had and maybe mix in a few new things they hadn’t tried. Because…
A Totally Different Style with the New Sweetie Pie Stamps
So, each month Stampin’ Up releases a new photopolymer stamp set and this month was a fun change of pace! This was actually designed by a writer/editor at Stampin’ Up who decided to draw some designs and submit them. I’ll admit I wasn’t sure about the style at first but I think it is a…
Stacked Die cuts for a Cool Ombre Effect
I was working on cards for an upcoming card class for The Scrapyard Chicks April Workshop and one great technique Kerry mentioned was stacking die cuts to get a cool ombre or rainbow effect on your cards and projects. It looked so simple but just a neat effect that I just had to try it!…
