August's Paper Pumpkin kit is perfect for any upcoming birthdays you'll be celebrating. This kit makes nine birthday cards, three each of three designs. The navy blue card is really unique. The front panel is tied closed and when untied, it stretches out with lots and lots of candles. The picture below shows it both closed and open. This kit also included a bonus stamp set of numbers. This is perfect if you want to highlight a special … [Read more...] about August Paper Pumpkin-Time For Cake
Last One, I Promise
This card is really simple in construction, but it looks so fancy. The key is to properly space the items in the bottom layer so they still look nice when the card is closed. This is my last project from the Mediterranean Suite. I debated sharing one more project, but I can't resist a good z-fold card. You can see the "hello" peeking out from the bottom layer. When you open the card, you see the entire scene across all three panels. … [Read more...] about Last One, I Promise
You’re Going to Need to Buy That Paper
I went a little crazy making projects with the Mediterranean Suite and this is by far my favorite. This is a mini clipboard that I decorated with the pattern paper from the Suite and lots and lots of layers. I have a few of these mini decorated clipboards that I've decorated through the years hanging in my studio. It's a great mini canvas that I can use to decorate my space. To make this project, you definitely need the Mediterranean paper. … [Read more...] about You’re Going to Need to Buy That Paper
Make It Simple
Last week I shared this lovely card in our New at SU Blog Hop. I love this card with the embossing on the white card stock. It really steps up the look of the card. But what if you don't have embossing folders or a machine with which to use them? You can still make a lovely card without the embossing layer. Today's card is almost identical but without the embossing. I did use a die cut to make the white rectangle. However, you could cut … [Read more...] about Make It Simple

August Magnet Stand Kit-Fall
One of my favorite Fall activities is visiting an apple farm and stocking up on apples, cider, and apple pie. When we go, I always hope for a cool, crisp day but in SoCal, it's typically still around 90' in September. So we do our apple picking in shorts and t-shirts. It's been a few years since we've been, but it was always a lot of fun. To help you get ready for your Fall decorating, August's kit is dedicated to apple season! This is one … [Read more...] about August Magnet Stand Kit-Fall

August Sampler-Go Wild
When my kids were little, one of my favorite places to take them was the zoo. They absolutely loved seeing the wild animals in person. Even though they couldn't get close to them, they loved watching them. It's hard to say which animals were their favorites. The monkeys were always so entertaining. The size of the elephants and rhinos were always surprising when we got close to them. But if we saw the lion out of his hiding spot, that was … [Read more...] about August Sampler-Go Wild
