Creating a card with a unique design or focal point isn’t always an easy task, but that’s where this tutorial comes to your rescue! All six of the cards feature a simple layout, but they each have at least one impressive design element that’s either stacked or split. Best of all . . . the cards are really easy to make!

Card Challenge and new Sale-a-bration goodies!!
Earlier this month I shared Craft Project Central’s ‘Creating Pretty Cards #68, where one of the designers for February (Monika Davis) designed a card sketch as an inspiration and challenge for card crafters to create and share their creations (CDC offers prizes for winners 🙂 )
At the time I did not share mine as I was saving it for the launch of some new Sale-a-bration exclusive product, available until March 31st with a $50 product order.
Grateful Bunch Birthday ~ Stampin’ Up! products
I have really lovely customers who come to my classes and stamp camps and shop for their Stampin’ Up! products with me. I like to celebrate their birthdays by sending a handmade card.
My recent cards have featured the 2016 – 2018 In-Colors as well as the Grateful Bunch Stamp set and Stylized Birthday Stamp. Continue reading
Happy Valentine’s Day
Approximately 150 million Valentine’s Day cards are exchanged annually, making Valentine’s Day the second most popular card-sending holiday after Christmas, here is one that I send out for today.
I guess I am a little late posting this today 🙂 but a least it is still Valentine’s Day !
Thank You – swaps
Sale-a-bration started on Jan 4th, one of the first FREE stamp sets on my list was ‘So Very Much’………… cos it says thank you – one of my most favorite phrases! plus I just love the script and the sheer size of the greeting!
Last weekend I went to Michigan to a training conference and the organiser asked all attendees to bring ‘swaps’ , as always this time of year, time is very tight so it had to be a simple project but with plenty of impact.
Its that time of year again – Sale-a-bration time!

Show and Tell – Treat Box
I love to teach and to share and I really love when one of my lovely ladies shares one of her creations with me. The one I am sharing in this, my 500th blog post, was from a class I did back in October and I share it with the full agreement of Kim, who created it.

Advent Calendar – Christmas Eve!
The final day for our calendar, it is hard to believe it is Christmas Eve, I am going to spend the day listening to Christmas music on BBC Radio 2 and getting ready for tomorrow. I sometimes think I enjoy Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day itself – there is more of a sense of magic and anticipation!
Back in October, when my friend, Elly, from the UK and I designed the advent calendar using a 24 cup mini muffin pan, we had a lot of fun deciding which square would go on each day but I knew we would have this square for today!
I hope you have enjoyed the countdown journey – I certainly enjoyed sharing with you ~ leave me a comment I would love to hear from you.
You will want to open each post, as there will be a little treat behind each one! Some days it might be some virtual ‘candy’ or sweeties as we call them in the UK, other times it might be a card, 3D project or a video!

Advent Calendar – Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 23
When Elly, my friend from the UK, and I designed the advent calendar back in early October I wanted day 23 to show the warmth and coziness of creating a new home. December 23rd is a special day in our family as it is our youngest son’s wedding anniversary – yep 2 days before Christmas – it was a magical day full of love and sparkle and Father Christmas (as he is known in the UK) came to hand out the wedding favors!

Advent Calendar – Countdown to Christmas ~ Day 22
Day 22 of our Advent countdown – featuring the squares of an Advent Calendar my friend, Elly, from the UK and I designed during her visit in October using a 24 cup mini muffin pan. Throughout this month I have been sharing a square a day with a little description of how we made it.
