If you know me, you know that I LOVE plants – especially tropical ones. Monsteras are my favorites, and I have 4 in my apartment (with plenty of room for more!) As you can imagine, I was thrilled when I saw the latest Essentials by Ellen release – specifically the Tropical Foliage stamp and die […]

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 […]

You may have already seen the sneak peeks on Instagram last week, and today I’ve got a little more inspiration to share.
