With the release of each new catalog, I host a Paper Share. Each Share has one piece of patterned paper from the catalog. It’s a great way to get a sampling of each pattern for a quarter of the price. I cut the papers into 6” x 12” pieces (unless it already comes 6” x 6”) for better usability. Each…

Ready for something super cute??? How about a Peek-a-Boo Snowman card? It’s easy to create using the Playful Alphabets dies and Snowman Season stamp & punch.

I wanted to tell you about my Club because…

This is a great background technique for two reasons. It’s a great way to use up scrap pieces and you can use different dies & punches for the different shapes. As you look at all the photos, you can see that they are all varied. You could make this same card for each of the holidays and every occasion by…
This is one of the cards I showcased on World Card Making Day. It actually showcases three fun combinations of techniques: coloring with ink and a water painter, masking & spotlighting techniques.
