A blog about card making, papercrafting, and how following your creative passions can help you live your happiest, most fulfilled life.
Hey there friends! Last week I shared a card that featured the new Concord & 9th Flower Shaker Shapes stamp and die set, and today it’s time to take a look at a few more goodies in the July release. Do you like big focal sentiments? Are you new to turnabout stamps? If so, we’ve […]
If you’ve been following along for a while, you already know that I can’t resist a good white on white background. There are so many ways to do this – cover dies, other die cuts, heat embossing – but one technique that I haven’t used in a very long time is embossing paste, paired with […]
Hey there friends! Today I’m joining Concord and 9th in celebrating their latest release, and to kick things off, I’m excited to share the Flower Shaker Shapes stamp and die set. For those of you who love shaker cards, you are going to have SO much fun with these! To get started, I created my […]
Hey there friends! Today I’m excited to be guest posting over on the Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine blog. If hot foil stamping has been something you’re not so sure about or haven’t had consistent success with in the past, this post is for you! I only started using a hot foiling system about 4 […]
Last week I shared this rainbow tassel card, and after doing so, couldn’t resist trying a slightly different design.

Several months ago, I never envisioned myself taking a needle and thread to my cards. Fast forward to now, and evidently, things have changed. Behold, my first string card! So what changed my mind? Recently I was asked if I’d like to try some stitching dies (which you’ll see appearing here in the coming months!) […]
Hey there! It’s been a week packed with Pinkfresh new release celebrations, and I’ve got one more card to show you using (as the title suggests) another hot foil plate! Several months ago, Pinkfresh introduced a really pretty Daisy Wreath layering stencil set and die, and I was thrilled to see that a hot foil […]
I’ll start by saying that I am definitely not a critters-on-cards type of crafter. Yes, there are a handful of critter stamp sets in my stash from my early days when I was just getting started with card making, but that was also when I thought I might get into Copic coloring like so many […]
