Dreamcatcher
Today, I'm back with the Follow Your Dreams stamp set and coordinating dies. It's kind of funny how you see something and think, that's not my style. But when you start creating with it, you really end up liking it quite a bit. I picked this set because I knew my daughter would like it. In fact, she has a dreamcatcher that she made hanging in her room. She loves that hippie retro vibe. Today's card is all about the layers and more … [Read more...] about Dreamcatcher
Five Minute Friday – Follow Your Dreams
Today’s post is going to be a quick one… just like today’s card, which uses the Follow Your Dreams stamp set and coordinating die set Chase Your Dreams. The Follow Your Dreams stamp set is probably not one I would usually purchase, but I kept seeing ideas that really appealed to me. Today’s card is a quick and easy one... simple stamping and die cutting. The hardest part of this was making sure the background image was centered. Following … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Follow Your Dreams
Little Elephant
Do you ever have an idea that you think is going to be simple and then it turns out not to be? Well, that is today's project. I found an idea for a cute little pocket card that looked so easy, but it involved math. Yikes! This card uses the adorable new Little Elephant stamp set in the Annual Catalog. I was sold on this set when I saw the coordinating elephant punch. O-M-G it is so cute. The set and punch both have a mama elephant and a … [Read more...] about Little Elephant

June Customer Thank You’s
This month I am ahead of the game! It's only the second week in July and I actually mailed my June Customer Thank You notes last week! I try to allow a few days for them to arrive before posting pictures of the cards here but I couldn't wait any longer to share them. June's Thank You uses a mix of sets... Abstract Impressions, Pop of Petals, and All Things Thanks. That Pop of Petals stamp set is pretty amazing. I've used it a number of times … [Read more...] about June Customer Thank You’s
Tropical Chic
One of my favorite new products from the new Annual Catalog is the Tropical Escape Suite. The stamps, the dies, and the paper are amazing. I love our 6x6" paper stacks. The patterns are perfectly sized for cards. Today's card uses up some leftover pieces that I had from another project. The various leaves from the stamp set are perfect for grouping together in layers. For the flower, I inked it in the lighter Petal Pink first and then used a … [Read more...] about Tropical Chic
Happy 4th!
Here in the USA, today is the day we celebrate our Independence. You'll see red, white, and blue everywhere. My local City celebrates with an early morning 5K, followed by a Pancake Breakfast, and then the local parade. When the kids were little, we went to the parade every year. The parade is filled with our local scouts, sports teams, and Church groups. The classic car club also makes an appearance. It's exactly what you'd expect for a small … [Read more...] about Happy 4th!
