Earlier this month a very dear friend for over 30 years got married, perfect occasion to create a really special and luxurious card made with great care and much love.
While we don’t always have the occasion to make and send a wedding card the same style and supplies can be used to make a birthday or inspirational card, my video today shares an alternate version, by simply changing out the greeting.

December’s hop had a Hidden Message theme (check it out here) I chose to have my hidden message on a New Year layout so today’s card is full of celebration with lots of bling to make my heart happy. I think this would make an wonderful congratulations card, for graduation, anniversary, engagement – just change out the greeting !!

As I share in the video there are 4 different pre-printed designs as well as some plain sheets. I have created a card for each design and since there are 5 different designs I have paired each one with the 2022 -2024 In-Colors – today features Tahitian Tide.
Continue readingWhen I received the July – December 2022 Mini Catalog, I was so excited to see the new Embossing Additions Tool Kit. I love to do heat embossing and have shared lots of projects in the past, so this lovely kit was on my list immediately!
To introduce the new kit I chose to share the Heat Resist Embossing Technique with the Pretty Medallion Stamp and paired with the Deckle Rectangle Dies. Check out the video below.

Continue readingThis time last year we were on the threshold of a vicious winter storm in which North Texas was below freezing for 139 hours, today it is a little on the chilly side but the sun is shining and we have brilliant blue skies!
Today I am sharing the 3rd in a series of 4 seasonal samplers that I have created for my lovely ladies who come to my classes – although it has a winter theme, I resisted the temptation to add any Christmas-specific elements. As always with samplers there is quite a few materials and tools used but the result is so worth it 🙂
Continue readingToday’s card showcases the new Blessings of Home Stamp Set with the whitewash technique. It uses the Copper Embossing Powder and ink refills to create this very feminine birthday card.

Continue readingSometimes a piece of decorative paper just tells you what you need to do with it! One of the designs in the Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper Pack did just that when I clapped eyes on it – by simply cutting it into 6 pieces I had a 6 card front layers ready to attach to a card base! . This particular paper has beautiful plant designs and needed no more than a simple greeting to finish it off, a quick and easy card if you are in a rush.
Continue readingI love a fun fold card and I have a personal mission to ensure I used my decorative paper in my card making. Today’s card meets both of those plus I have a lovely thanksgiving card as a result, plus it will fit into a standard 5 3/4 x 4 3/8 envelope for easy posting!
I have also used several techniques that I have used before, coloring with Stampin’ Blends and heat embossing – if you scroll down a little you will see links to post and videos I have made about those……. enjoy!
