ISS Blog Hop – Fall in Love with Autumn

Fall is my favorite season. I love the air getting colder and the leaves changing and the food! It always ends too quickly but it’s so nice when it’s here. This is such a simple design but I love how it turned out! You just need 12 1″ x 1″ squares of DSP and a…

ISS Blog Hop – Mom’s Kitchen… A Taste of Love

This month we were inspired by our moms and our stomachs. When I think of my mom, crafting is definitely something that comes to mind. She’s not just a stamper, she’s also a sewer, and she’s thrilled that I’ve finally started picking up her life long hobby. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it, but…

ISS Blog Hop – Embossing Folders

Embossing folders are one of my absolute favorite tools. They are super easy to use and also create the best background pieces. They are pretty and add something to the card without being distracting. I was very excited to play with them this month and I hope you like what I came up with! This…

ISS Blog Hop – Valentine’s Day

I seem to be on a red and gold kick lately? Mostly, I just love this paper and really wanted to use it. To be honest, I don’t know how I feel about this card. It’s very red. It would be really great for a Lunar New Year card. That said, I’m really glad I…

Sometimes you really don’t have time to craft. I always like to make elaborate cards. I usually end up doing complicated techniques and adding lots of embellishments. But this month is hectic. We’re going out of town (twice), I’m starting a new job, and Christmas is coming which means attempting to get gifts together. I’ve…
