For our son's graduation last week, I wanted to create something a little different from the standard graduation card with a cap or the year. To me, Graduation is the start of the next big adventure that our kids will take, whether it's college, technical school, or something else. I knew the Best Route Suite of products would be perfect to express this. This card uses the brand new En Route stamp set, Best Route pattern … [Read more...] about Going Places

Graceful Glass
I love the way the sunlight hits a stained glass window. I find the warm glow to be uplifting. Years and years ago, my parents took me to a class where we learned how to make stained glass windows. Cutting the glass into small pieces and then trying to reassemble it into a picture was not easy. It gave me an appreciation for the level of skill it takes to make an intricate design in glass. If you’ve ever contemplated making your own … [Read more...] about Graceful Glass
Birds On A Wire
One of my favorite parts of attending OnStage is getting to play with brand new products before they are even available for sale. One of our Make & Takes from April's OnStage was a card using the brand new Graceful Glass Suite. This is such a simple card to make. The Graceful Glass vellum is meant to be cut apart into panels like this and then colored. For this card, I used two brand new colors of our Blends: Pineapple Punch and Lovely … [Read more...] about Birds On A Wire

There’s Nothing Like A Friday
Hooray! Hooray! Today is the day! Today marks the start of a new Annual Catalog. Oh my goodness! You are going to love this Catalog. The cover is so very pretty. It shows off the brand new Delightfully Detailed laser-cut paper amazingly well. You are going to flip when you see the level of intricacy of this paper. I can also assure you that the inside of the Catalog is just as amazing as the cover. Every time a catalog retires, I get … [Read more...] about There’s Nothing Like A Friday
The End Is Here!
Before I share today's project, this is your friendly reminder that we are down to the last TWO DAYS of the 2017-18 Annual Catalog and all Retiring Items are available while supplies last. It's a sad day. There are lots of fabulous stamp sets and products that are retiring along with all those ink and card stock colors that are retiring as well. Did you stock up on your reinkers and card stock? Don't delay - tomorrow is the last day. I always … [Read more...] about The End Is Here!
Five Minute Friday – Abstract Impressions
I'm pretty sure I bought the Abstract Impressions bundle just for that butterfly die. But I have to admit the stamp set and the coordinating floral pattern paper are pretty amazing too. When I flipped through the pack of paper, this navy and curry sheet caught my eye. This entire card was designed around this sheet of paper. If you love this paper too, don't worry, you can purchase it starting June 1st. This card is super simple to … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Abstract Impressions
Oh, that paper!
I've shared a few posts about the Share What You Love Suite of products that are being released in the next Catalog but are available to customers early. I've had the same question a couple times now so I thought I'd address it here. The question... why is that paper so expensive? If you've looked at the components to the Share What You Love bundles, then you noticed that the pack of pattern paper is $27. And if you're looking in a current … [Read more...] about Oh, that paper!
