Peek-a-boo Butterfly Card
Today I have a quick card share for you. I’ve been enjoying playing with this style of card design where you punch out an image and use the paper that is left behind as your main image. I grabbed a pack of (retiring) designer paper – Berry Blossoms – and my (retiring) butterfly punch and…

So Long Summer Smooches & the Occasions Mini!

Cupcake Birthday Card and Another Video
I had a customer recently order some wheel stamps and then ask me for more information about how to use them. So, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to practice creating more videos for my new YouTube channel. Its amazing to me that I’ve been intimidated by the idea of creating videos but…

As you can tell, I’ve been getting into my Summer Smooches designer paper and today is my favorite card so far with this paper! I have been completely falling in love with Island Indigo recently and I just love the bright yellow and deep blue in this card. What do you think? I was…
