So, creating layouts for a class forces me to get some extra pages done! So, this month, I ended up turning to the Tea…
How to Make Your Own Flocking & Add Fuzz to Your Projects
When I was playing with the Swallowtail stamp, I realized that it was a big stamp… seriously, like background sized big stamp. And I was trying to figure out how I wanted to use it. So, I cut and I played, but I really wanted to keep the full butterfly image for my card. So…

When You Need A Bright And Cheery Card
how about this one? All you need is some scraps and a couple punches and you have a sunshiney card for someone. I always seem to make 4.25” x 5.5” cards (since they fit so nicely in envelopes that the post office will mail with a standard stamp) but sometimes just a little card you…
Another Print Poetry Idea
Today is the LAST DAY to RSVP for our Print Poetry stamp camp or sign up for a kit in the mail. So, I thought I’d share one of the cards we created as an idea for the event but ultimately didn’t make the cut for the class this time (though I know I’ll be…
