If you have read some of my previous blog and Facebook posts, then you know I am all about versatility. I like my stamp sets to have more than one use. Forever Ferns is a stamp set that fits that criteria. It’s a great one to use as the main focus, the background and for many reasons and occasions. A…
I saw a similar card online and fell in love with the “graphicness” off it. Cohesive stripes in all different directions but work together. I thought this would be a perfect card for Club Class (and I was right). I had plenty of the Sale-a-Bration Hand Penned paper left over which is why I chose to do the card in…

World Card Making Day was last week (1st Saturday of October) and Stampin’ Up! set a goal of 5000 stamping events around the world. I was away visiting my daughter that weekend at her college, so I couldn’t host an event. Instead, I sent an email to my mailing list with this great card layout/sketch for them to make their…

Happy last day of September! I am taking (part of) the day off and taking my son into Boston. We love to walk the Harbor Walk and think that today’s weather will be perfect for that. We also love going to Flour for a homemade treat or lunch, so I think getting him one of her favorite sticky buns is…

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…
