Hey there, friends! Today the project I’ve got for you was one that put me in my happy place because it combined many things I love when it comes to cardmaking: Whenever I’m not feeling super creative, I always find myself going back to some of my favorite, most hard-working stamp sets to create new […]
Hi friends! Did you catch the new Essentials by Ellen release a couple of weeks ago? Life’s been quite busy lately (in great ways!) so I haven’t been in my craft room as much as I’d like, but I’ve been steadily working my way through creating with these celebration-themed goodies and am having so much […]
What’s the one kind of card you always find yourself needing more of? For me, it’s birthday cards, and it just so happens they’re my favorite kind to make! If you feel the same, you’re in luck – the April 2023 Essentials by Ellen release just went live today, and it’s alllllll about birthdays, cake […]
Sometimes a stamp set comes along that gets me super excited, and continues to do so every time you pull it out. Ok – well at least that’s how I feel about the Essentials by Ellen Painted Florals. This one was released last spring, but one of my favorite things about it is how it […]

There’s nothing I love more than a good clean and simple, geometric card with a fun color palette, and that’s exactly what I set out to make when creating today’s project. Last week, the latest Essentials by Ellen release went live in the Ellen Hutson shop, and it included new Essential Circles and Arches hot […]

If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know I’ve got a thing for stamping abstract backgrounds. There’s just something about picking a color palette that’s speaking to me in the moment, then grabbing some acrylic blocks and stamps, and going to town with making my own patterns. It’s one of my favorite things to […]
It’s a wonderful, wonderful thing when you walk into your craft space with a brilliant idea and dive straight into making, isn’t it? And a not-so-wonderful thing when you’re completely out of creative juice. I’ve been in both places, and I’m sure you have too. Creative ruts can be frustrating, so today I’m sharing 4 […]
