Framelits Window Card with Vellum
Once again, I had a card idea that I’ve been sitting on for a while and this week I finally got around to trying it out. I love how it turned out so much that this will be one of the cards featured in April’s Cards to Go kit (so if you want step-by-step instructions…
2 Days Left of Sale-a-Bration!
Oh my, where has the time gone? I was talking with someone yesterday about how we had time to get their Sale-a-bration order in so they could get the Fresh Vintage stamp set and they reminded me that the 31st is Saturday!! Crazy! So, since I know there were some folks out there who had…
Faux Tiling with Fresh Vintage
I’ve been wanting to try out Faux Tiling for a while and thought the big flower image from the Fresh Vintage stamp set was perfect for this look! To make the Faux Tiling look on your cards, I grabbed my Simply Scored score board and the matching Diagonal score plate to get the grid…
Everyday Enchantment CASE
Last night was my Creative Card night and it was the perfect opportunity for me to try out a few different card ideas that I had been wanting to play with. One of those ideas was to play around with a design by my downline, Pam Wu. She had made this very cool card using…

More Watercoloring Card Samples–crayons & markers
Today I wanted to share a couple more samples from my watercoloring class. In my last post, I shared a card we did using chalks and for today, I thought I’d show some cards using watercolor crayons and markers. As you can see, the medium you use for your watercoloring gives you totally different effects!…
Watercoloring with Chalks Card Sample
One of the things I love about teaching technique classes is that I’m often reminded of how cool a technique or a product is that I haven’t used in ages. In this case, it is using my Stampin’ Pastels (chalks). I ran a watercoloring technique class this weekend where we used 5 different methods for…
Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a Special for You!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Hopefully today finds you in your finest green attire; even if that just means green inky fingers! 🙂 It’s a day that I mostly get to celebrate these days by digging some green out of my closet and remembering to listen to some great Irish music…or at least Irish singers. Has…
Quick Mixed Bunch Party Favor
Can you tell, I like this stamp set? 🙂 I know, I get a little addicted to stamps that have matching punches; but it makes things come together so quickly! Well, for my recent show, I decided to make these easy little treats to hand out to people who stopped by my demonstrations. I put…
Scrapbooking Sunday: Using the Simply Scored Board
For the first time in I don’t know how long, I actually created a scrapbook page without copying a sketch or a sample of someone else’s. All because I got my hands on the new diagonal score plate for my Simply Scored and wanted to play with it! I had a ton of scrapbooking ideas…
