I hear from some of my readers that you want easy to intermediate interactive cards. I think you will love this one. This card is a beginner level, easy diorama card. I used the Waves of Inspiration stamp set and papers, but you can use so many other choices. The Waves of Inspiration stamp set & dies are still available…
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.…
I’m excited to tell you that there is an incredible joining promotion going on for the month of May. As part of the $99 Starter Kit, you get $250 in products!!!

Twice a year, I have open spots to join my Creative Stamp Club. My Clubs run from June thru November and December thru May. I purposely run my Clubs for six months long rather than a full year so more people can join in during the year (who wants to wait a whole year to join???). It also gives current…
I love sharing tips with you and this one is a good one (I think you’ll agree). You may think that I glued each little piece, one at a time onto the card front, but there is a much better way. I’ll show you how I created this striped border in the video tutorial. This happy “bee” day card was…
In our travels two weeks ago, we came upon this sign in front of the Philadelphia State House. Our vacation was full of historical sites and places. I took this picture knowing Mother’s Day was fast approaching. Happy Mother’s Day my friends!

Patte sent me a card with this fold and I never saw it before. I loved it and loved even more when I discovered how easy it was to make. An easy fancy fold card for any level crafter. All you need is a scorer, which is included in most/all paper trimmers. There are many versions of a Z-fold card…

Last month’s Mystery Host Party went over so well, I’m going to do it again. I have already combined some April orders together, so the Mystery Host rewards are starting at $55. Let’s see how high we can get them. The more people who order, the higher the rewards will be. Orders placed between now and Friday will be entered…
Over the last two weeks, I have shown how to make two different paper crafted Easter Baskets you can make on my Facebook lives. Who doesn’t love a handmade basket??? You can make them for Easter, Spring, Mother’s Day, as a Get Well basket, or even in the fall, an apple basket. You can watch both replays in the videos…
With the start of every new catalog I offer a Paper Share. Paper Shares are a great way to see & get all the papers without having to buy ALL of the papers (because you only get a portion of each pack). You still get every pattern and every pack, just a smaller size & quantity. It’s a great way…
I ran this In Color Product Club last year with great feedback. It helps off set purchasing all of the new In Color products at once, which adds up to $187 before tax & shipping. Plus, by being an In Club Member, you’ll receive bonuses each month with your In Color products. Pooling the orders together yields bigger bonuses. 😊 Each…
We’ve all probably made some version or two of a strip card. Sometimes these types of cards have different names: patchwork, herringbone (depending on the pattern you create), quilting, strippy scrappy and so forth. They all use varying sized strips of paper. The papers can be all patterned, solid or a combination of the two. I’ve made a few of…
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. It’s a little different than a typical box because of how it opens and flips. Maybe not for a beginner, but definitely do-able for someone who knows a little…
