Hot Air Balloon
Years ago, when I was a kid, my mom decided we should try riding in a hot air balloon. My dad was always game to try something new so she made reservations for an early morning ride. I can still remember showing up at the field as they are filling the balloon. I was in awe of the size of the balloon. It was massive. Hot air balloons have always been one of those things that intrigue me. I do not like being up in high places, yet sailing across … [Read more...] about Hot Air Balloon
Our Dies Are So Pretty
When you need an elegant card, the Stitched Lace background die is the perfect choice. This one die is big enough to cover an entire card front at 5-7/8" x 4-5/16". It is so pretty that it hardly needs anything else on the card. For today's card, I wanted to keep the focus on that amazing Stitched Lace. So gorgeous! When using this die, I highly recommend the die brush to go with it. Our new die brush fastens into the top of the Take … [Read more...] about Our Dies Are So Pretty
Beautiful Orchids
I love orchids. They look so delicate, yet they are really a hearty flower. I had an orchid plant that a friend had given me that lasted close to seven years. It just kept flowering year after year until it finally wore out. The best part of an orchid for a non-green thumb person is the fact that they truly like to be left alone. Once you find a place that they love, don't move them except to water. It did far better with watering only every two … [Read more...] about Beautiful Orchids
Happy Birthday
I think one of the most common cards I make is a Birthday card. It can be a challenge to come up with new ideas every time. While making this card, I realized my go-to for birthday cards is to use flowers. I tend to use flowers before I reach for any cake or party stamps. I think it's because we have a huge variety of choices when it comes to flowers and they can be so pretty when stamped. This card uses the flowers from the stamp set … [Read more...] about Happy Birthday

A Bouquet for You!
Since it's Monday, I thought you'd like some flowers to start your week off right. Last week, when I was making cards from the Frosted Floral bundle, I ended up with a ton of flowers and greenery. I knew I had plenty to make at least one more card. Actually, it turns out I have enough to make several more cards. I love when a stamp set is so easy to use. To make the bouquet, I started by arranging the leaves on the bottom. Then added the … [Read more...] about A Bouquet for You!
Another Flower Stamp Set?
You open the Catalog and see a flower stamp set and then you keep flipping the page because you really think "I don't need another flower stamp set". I get it. I do the same exact thing. But, I've got to tell you... this flower stamp set is pretty amazing, specially when you pair it with the matching set of dies. I could spend hours stamping these flowers and mixing and matching the greenery. In fact, I think I did spend hours doing … [Read more...] about Another Flower Stamp Set?
