I know this is a simple card but I really like the way it turned out. (It's an old design by Yainea that I recreated.) I especially like the coloring - again, it's very simple but it turned out exactly like I hoped. I like the idea of a sympathy card that has some cuteness… Continue reading Sending Hedgehugs
This was my first ever card using the Flippin' Awesome interactive die. I loved it more than I was expecting to! This was a design by Marine that I put my own spin on. Materials used: Large Stitched Rectangles Gotta Have Gingham Rainbow petite paper pack Flippin' Awesome Cilantro cardstock Distress oxide inks: Tumbled Glass,… Continue reading Flippin’ Awesome
I always appreciate when creators share their "learning experiences" and not just the perfect end results, so I'm sharing more cards that didn't turn out quite how I wanted them to. I liked the sparkle on this card but I think it could've used something more. I wasn't sure what to add to it though.… Continue reading Additional Halloween Cards
I love this set, and especially the little ghosts! I didn't have time to make any more cards with them this year than just this one, but next year I definitely plan to! This is a recreation of a design by Tammy. Materials used: Large Stitched Rectangles Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frames Distress oxide inks: Peacock… Continue reading Simply Celebrate Fall
A cute thank you card! I also made a treat box with the Fancy Box die and I'm so sad I forgot to take a picture of it. That was my first time using that die and it turned out so cute. I can't wait to make more! Materials used: Large Stitched Rectangles Kraft cardstock… Continue reading You Arrrgh Awesome

I like all the colors on this card but I really, really did not want to mix different fonts for the sentiment. I ended up doing it because I wanted to use the A Good Apple set that I like so much and I really like that font (the bottom one.) But I still wish… Continue reading Teacher Card

I can't get over how much I love the look of this background. I do want to know how you avoid messing up the Yeti ink pad when you put it over other colors but hopefully it won't matter next time I use it! Materials used: Large Stitched Rectangles Distress oxide inks: Mowed Lawn, Rustic… Continue reading Hang In There
I really love the way this card turned out. The sun ray stenciled background is just so pretty, and then to have the nice sparkles popping out on the mermaid, and to top it off with the embossed sentiment looking all shiny and 3D, everything came together so well. I did originally try to add… Continue reading Mermazing Mermaid
This card is very similar to the other robot card I made recently. Originally I was going to use a background stencil with some silver stencil paste... but after FIVE, yes, FIVE attempts, the stencil just would not cooperate. The stencil paste kept bleeding through and ruining the card base. The stencil also had a… Continue reading More Robot Fun
This was a design by Chari that I adjusted a little to make it gender neutral. It's so cute to turn the wheel and see the little clothes tumbling in the wash!

I really loved a design Megan made with the Flamingo Floatie, but I wanted to use the critters from Pool Party instead. I think next time I would use bolder colors for the water. I also centered my sentiment banner forgetting that part of it was blank, so it actually ended up off center -… Continue reading Pool Party

May was my 3-year card-making anniversary. I feel fortunate to have had as much time over the past 3 years as I have to spend time on this hobby and increase my skills. Someday I'll share some of my earliest cards because wow, there's such a difference. It's neat to look back and see how… Continue reading 500 Cards in 3 Years
I had a request for a dino-themed baby card and I'm so happy with how this turned out! I was inspired by a card Tammy made. The Platform Pop Up is just an incredible leap forward for card making I think. It's so much better than the box pop up cards; somehow having that "floor"… Continue reading Dino Platform Pop Up
