For February, I am spotlighting the Mini Alphabet Dies #162934. These dies are completely versatile and are 3/4″ in height. Use the letters to personalize projects: cards,…
My husband’s grandmother (who’s 98) says that everyone who has a birthday deserves a birthday card.

And if you want to go even one more step further, everyone who has a birthday should have their house (or at least…

I’m so excited to announce my Christmas Scottie Dog Class! It’s both a local AND to-go class, so anyone can participate.

If you know anything about me, it’s that I love tea. I have several cups a day. I come from a big tea drinking family and have instilled the love of tea with both my kids. As a matter of fact, while my son was taking online classes at home from college, we had tea together every day at 3pm.…

In celebration of today’s Opening Day, I am sharing six baseball-themed cards/project videos I made back in January. Five of the projects were from a class I hosted featuring the Hey Sports Fan suite of products. These products have an old-time, vintage baseball feel with both their graphics and colors. A classic feel if you will. Perfect for any baseball…
I typically make more cards than any other type of project, but I do enjoy making fun boxes. This Diagonal Flip Box is definitely a fun box to make and give.

This is a fun project for this time of year when all we want to see is Christmas lights. These are mini paper lanterns, or luminaries. A little smaller than an old fashioned school milk carton. Follow along with my video to create your own. Substitute any die or shape that you need. Pause the video when you need to.…
Interactive cards are fun to both make & receive. I have found that some interactive cards can be tedious, time consuming and I’ll admit, a little frustrating to make. But, this Pinwheel card is not that! It’s very easy to make and put together. The trick is, just a lot of cutting. If you can cut paper then you can…
