Having said all this I did choose to use Green and Gold for this quick and easy card
Continue readingI have made no secret that Shabby Chic / Vintage style project have become a particular favorite of mine, the Ranunculus Romance Stamp Set along with the Dainty Flowers decorative paper are a great starting place for this style. Today’s card was made during a recent You Tube Live, where I literally made it up as I went along in front of an audience! I have added a link below to show how it all went together!

A couple of weeks ago we had an ice storm come thru North Texas that lasted about 4 days. While I was warm and snug indoors it did look a bit bleak outside and I needed to think about something a sunny and bright – so today’s card uses the Tropical Hideaway Stamp with some bright and happy gold heat embossing.

January’s hop had had us using products from the Jan – April 2023 Mini catalog (check it out here) and I chose to use one of the new bundles called Around the Bend. I think this would make an wonderful card for any occasion – ‘Hello There’ is just perfect for this!
Continue readingSometimes we see a card that we just love, but we may not have those supplies or it may not be for the occasion we need at that time. In today’s video I have created a card layout using it to create a valentine card for one and a birthday card for the second.
