I can already tell that this is going to be a quick favorite among stampers. This Suite of products contains so many beautiful natural elements that help create an amazing card when layered together. Today’s card features both the Rooted In Nature stamp set and Nature's Poem … [Read more...] about Rooted In Nature

Monarchs Are My Favorite
I love butterflies. Whenever I get a new butterfly stamp, my go-to colors are the colors of the Monarch butterfly. The rich orange and deep black colors are always so striking. Did you know millions of Monarchs from all over the US and Canada migrate to one single location in Mexico every Fall? Some of these butterflies are traveling close to 3000 miles to reach warmer climates for the Winter. This is truly amazing. They look so delicate yet … [Read more...] about Monarchs Are My Favorite

Got Swaps?
Today is Day Two of OnStage. I can’t share any sneak peeks of upcoming products yet, so instead I’ll share one of the swaps that I took with me. Swaps are a huge part of OnStage. It’s one of my favorite ways that we share ideas with each other. The idea is that you make a bunch of cards then you trade them for cards made by other Demonstrators. It’s sort of like exchanging business cards, but instead you exchange a real card. It’s kind of funny … [Read more...] about Got Swaps?
Five Minute Friday – Half Full
Finishing out Wine Week with... yep, you guessed it! More wine! This card can easily be made very quickly, even with all the watercoloring. The wine glasses and wine are watercolored using Soft Sky and Berry Burst. Berry Burst is a great color for red wine. If I end up with too light a shade, I can add in a little more color after letting it dry.Usually, I would stamp my image and then die cut around it to make sure it's even on both sides. … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Half Full
