Hello Friend
One more Storybook Friends card today. Did you know the pack of pattern paper includes two sheets of the preprinted characters colored in for easy use? There are so many little critters to choose from on the sheet. A bit of pattern paper, some ribbon, and those adorable critters make a quick and easy card. I don't make a lot of cards that have so much white space on the card, but I really like this one. Quick and simple can be so nice. … [Read more...] about Hello Friend

Making Your Own Background
One of the cards I shared Monday used the full-sized background die. It makes an amazing frame of pine boughs overlapping the interior of the frame. This is the die I'm referring to. Once you die cut the frame, you end up with a funny looking reverse image, or the inside piece from the frame. You can take that inside piece and use it to make a fabulous background. First, you'll want to center it over your card stock that you're going to … [Read more...] about Making Your Own Background
Nests of Winter
I've been trying to make a better effort to use all the supplies I purchase. I'm just like you.. I can easily get caught up buying stamps I like, and then don't get around to using all of them. I'm doing my best to make sure every stamp set gets some love before I file them away in my cabinet. The Nests of Winter Suite is one of my favorites from the September-December Catalog. I'm a sucker for a good bird stamp set. Add in some amazing … [Read more...] about Nests of Winter
