This year I got really into mail art, which is decorating the outside of envelopes when sending cards. I wanted to do it for lots more cards I sent but basically only had time for a few. I made a small group of these Christmas ones and thought they were fun. This was a design… Continue reading Oh What Fun Mail Art

Snow One Like You
I saw this design by Christiana Reuling and thought it was so cute and had to make my own. When she shared pics of the card she made, she had it laying on a purple envelope. It looked so good that I decided to make the card base purple in my version. 😊 Here is… Continue reading Snow One Like You

Gnome Baby Card

Sending Hedgehugs
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.)

Additional Halloween Cards
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
