I loved how fast this card was to make! It’s such a busy time of year that it’s difficult to squeeze that relaxing crafting time in. This card made that easy to do! Again, I’m using my scraps of left over paper. If I use all of my Christmas paper up on projects this year, I can most… Read More »

I have to say that I’m really enjoying making my gift bags for the holidays. The possibilities are endless! I love to design and create matching tag and bag decorations.

I tried an old technique with some new materials and after some experimenting, I ended up with a card I really love! For this card I used my Big Shot (of course!) to create a stencil to sponge my colors onto the card. I cut the maple leaf out of a piece of scrap paper using the Bigz… Read More »
Have I told you that I LOVE my Big Shot?! The variety of techniques and the WOW! factors that you can add to your cards really is amazing. I feel like the embossing folders and framelits that I’ve purchased have been such wise purchases. I keep using them over and over in many different ways. When you buy… Read More »

I truly love Fall! I love the holidays, I love the cooler, less humid weather (how ironic, since we’re about to get blasted by Hurricane Sandy!), but most of all, I LOVE the colors of the season. The Regals color collection just calls to me! Combine that with my favorite Betsy’s Blossoms stamp set and the wood grain embossing folder… Read More »
Since the day the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder arrived, I’ve been using it on every card I make!! I just love the texture that it gives a card. I think it lends a certain elegance as well. Needless to say, when I needed a sympathy card for a colleague, I just had to use it. Of course I… Read More »
