I decided to make a couple of different cards, just to give myself a break from Halloween and Christmas card making for a moment. I found this beautiful “Día De Los Muertos” paper pad at Michael’s a couple of weeks ago and decided it was time to put it to use. I chose to useContinue reading “Día De Los Muertos”

Well, it finally happened…my stash of birthday cards has been depleted. My kids (all adults by the way) are always going into my stash to look for cards for their significant others and friends. So when I went to look for a birthday card last week, much to my surprise, they were all gone. ThisContinue reading “Making Rainbow Themed Birthday Cards”

This month’s theme was Halloween/Fall & Sequins. I had fun making this fall themed card. Since I am helping my grandkids with their distance learning, my crafting time has been greatly limited so I decided to use some patterned paper for this card. I went to my local Michael’s store and bought a few paperContinue reading “September 2020 Collected Crafty Collabs Hop”

What a busy week it has been! I didn’t have too much time to craft this week so I decided to make some cards using only patterned paper. That’s right, no stamping, no coloring, no embossing, no ink blending…just patterned paper. I got a beautiful paper pad (Sugarplums) by Recollections and used the cut apartsContinue reading “A Pastel Christmas”

My latest YouTube video is live. I made two Halloween cards using supplies from my stash. I used stencils by Simon Says Stamp (Candy Corn) and Echo Park (Stars) to create the panels. I ink blended on the panels using some Distress Oxide inks. On the starry panel I also added some Nuvo Glimmer pasteContinue reading “You Are Boo-tiful!”

It is the most wonderful time of the year…for crafters anyway. It is Stamptember at Simon Says Stamp and I already placed my first order. I was good all year and didn’t buy anything new until the end of July so I decided it would be okay to treat myself during Stamptember and I did.Continue reading “You Matter!”

In the spirit of using up my stash, I decided to make a few Halloween cards using only Doodlebug papers and embellishments. It has been a very busy week and we spent Sunday celebrating my wonderful husband’s birthday, so, once again, I did this last minutes. I had so much fun just using Doodlebug designs.Continue reading “Doodlebug Halloween”

I saw a video with a Halloween Card being made by Amy Rysavy (Prairie Paper & Ink) and it inspired me to make a Halloween card for my next video. I recorded this video live for YouTube, so no voiceover. I was rushing to get it done in time because I did not record onContinue reading “Fright Night”

This month’s theme was Summer/Vacation and/or Embossing Folders. Summer is my favorite time of year. I enjoy the longer days since it allows me more time to craft. I had fun making this card as I daydreamed about our next vacation. We have not gone on vacation this year due to “you know what” soContinue reading “August 2020 Collected Crafty Collabs Hop”

I finally broke my 2020 resolution and bought some new crafty supplies. I ordered the Simon Says Stamp July 2020 card kit and am loving everything in it. I wanted to use some of the elements from the kit to make a couple of summer themed cards. I have a hard time cutting into anyContinue reading “Gimme Some Sugar”
