Read MoreHave you noticed how so many hand made cards have a ‘feel’ to them? Some feel homey, some feel cozy, some feel fancy and others are bright and sun shiny. To me, today’s card feels like winter freshness.
Read MoreI love to make and share Welcome Packages. I use these to introduce my stamping business to new people. In the package I include a note about upcoming classes, my business card, a little treat, and a card they can send to someone special. I needed more cards for these packages, so I stamped a bunch of birthday cards.
Read MoreYesterday was my sister Patrice’s birthday, and her son’s decided to surprise her with a dinner of 35-40 of her closest friends and family! It wasn’t a milestone birthday, because they figured that would never surprise her, but it is always fun to celebrate your special day, no matter what the age. Here is the birthday card I made for her.

Read MoreMy brother’s birthday is in early November, and my sister’s birthday is a couple weeks later. I wanted to make special cards for both of them, so I decided to make my brother’s card sparkle.
Read MoreMy card the other day used some of the Country Lane DSP, and a sentiment from the Contry Home stamp set, both part of the Country Lane Suite in the Holiday Catalogue. If you missed that card, you can see it here. Today my card uses some of the other stamps in the Country Home stamp set. It is a fantastic set with some great stamps that have a real down home country feel.
Read MoreToday I have another card I made using the Delightfully Detailed Memories and More cards. The large cards are 4 x 6 inches in size, so they are bigger than you need for a regular card front. You can use the Memories and More Cards and Envelopes, but I decided to use a regular card base. I just trimmed it to 3 5/8 x 5 1/8 to fit my card base and that gave me an extra piece to use to add a border to my greeting piece.
Read MoreToday I have another card made with a Delightfully Detailed Memories and More card. I love using these to make quick and easy cards with great patterns and colour combinations.
Read MoreHave you checked out the Memories and More card packs in the annual catalogue? They are fantastic for memory keeping, but they also make great cards that are fast to put together, and fabulous to give!
Read MoreThe Petal Promenade DSP has beautiful flower images, and I wanted to showcase them as much as possible on my card today. I decided to make them the main event and not cover them up too much. I choose the Happy Birthday Thinlits to help me do that.
Read MoreThe Global Design Project Challenge this week is a theme, and the theme is Take Me To The Sea. I wanted to use the High Tide stamp set for my card, the lighthouse was the perfect image to take me to the sea in my mind’s eye.
Read MoreIt's a colour challenge over at the Global Design Project, and they are 3 fantastic colours! Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Lovely Lipstick. Blue is my favourite colour, so Night of Navy and Bermuda Bay work well for me, and I love the pop of bright that Lovely Lipstick adds. It is one of the new 2018 - 2020 In Colours. They are all bold bright colours and this one is no exception.
Read MoreToday is my daughter's birthday. Happy Birthday Laura! Ever since Laura was little, she has loved animals. Pigs and Cows are two of her favourites along with cats and dogs, but for today I have a Rhino and a little bird for her.
