Wonderful Word Bubbles for a I Love You Card
Today I have to share a card that I created for a set of Pictogram Punches stamp set focused display board cards for our Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration convention board. I knew I had to get this set when I first saw it in the catalog, but when I had to create 4 different cards AND…

Throwback Fun with Some Old Stamps and New
Today is the Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad blog hop and I LOVED the theme idea this month. Our task was to take our “oldest” stamp and our “newest” stamp. How fun is that! I had fun looking through my retired stamps that I’ve been holding on to to see what was my oldest set. I had…

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,…
