The last two Stampin’ Up! catalogs have featured some card templates that everyone is enjoying. I might refer to them as card sketches or card recipes. If you don’t have a digital file full of card sketches you’ve been collecting or at least a Pinterest board full of them, I don’t know how you create cards on days… Read More »
I think the Grateful for You sentiment is such a lovely sentiment to add to a card. Who wouldn’t love to receive that sentiment on a card? I pulled out one of my favorite digital stamps from Kinda Cute by Patricia and colored it in with my Copics. I cut it out on my Brother Scan n’… Read More »

Many of the stamp sets that you can purchase today are outline stamps and they require that you love to watercolor or use alcohol markers or colored pencils. We all tend to have a favorite medium of choice for these images. Sometimes, I just want to stamp the image and get my project done. I have a few… Read More »
I will confess that I was a little unsure of the stamp set included in this month’s Create and Inkspire card kit. I love the value I’ve been getting in these kits! This one came with some beautiful specialty papers and cardstock, a two step stencil, and some rub on luster paint. The papers are so nice, I… Read More »
I get a lot of questions about the backgrounds that I create when I use a digital image. Most of the time, you don’t get a background included with a digital image, so you can create one or just use the image as you would any stamped image. I really enjoy making my own scene backgrounds. I’ve been… Read More »

I love making fall cards! The colors and images always make my heart sing. I came home exhausted from work today and fell asleep. I was awakened by the phone after only a 15 minute snooze. It left me groggy and out of sorts. Needless to say, I wasn’t feeling creative. Yet, once I got started I realized… Read More »

Once again, I had to play with the distress crayons. I have yet to find a watercolor technique that I don’t find completely relaxing. What a lovely way to spend an evening! I’m entering this in two challenges: Stamp, Ink, Paper has a Fall Floral challenge this week that I can’t resist participating in. I’m also entering it… Read More »
