ISS Blog Hop – Fabulous Fun Folds

Have you ever seen a card design that was pretty unpractical but so cool you just had to make it? Those are the best kinds of fun folds. This card is too big for a normal envelope. It measures at 6″ x 8″ when closed. It’s kind of flimsy, and can be difficult to pick…

Lovely Garden Peek-A-Boo Fold Card

Sometimes you really need a simple card design to make a bunch of birthday cards. This is a design that I’ve seen called the “Peek-A-Boo Card.” It is super simple — just fold the corners of patterned paper up and stamp something in the center! It’s quick, easy, and striking. Tip: I measured the same…

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…

Simple Snowy Scenes Card

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…

ISS Blog Hop – Grateful

This month is Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. There’s nothing like good food and being with family to remind me to be thankful. On that note, we thought this month should be all about gratitude. Admittedly, this isn’t the most fall-themed card, but once I got the idea in my head I knew I wanted to…

Potions & Spells Diamond Card

Happy October! I wanted to use this super fun suite before Halloween and I’m glad I took the time to play around with it. I think it’s really cute, especially the patterned paper set. I wouldn’t have thought to use these colors together but I think they’re perfect for Halloween. I learned a few things…

Sliced Patterned Paper Card

As someone who publishes designs online, I am often left wondering if the design I am making has a name. Usually, I try to come up with something that sounds good, often by asking my mom for her opinion. This design was no exception. My team leader (who is also my mom) usually has us…

Nests of Winter Half Flap Card

Have I mentioned that my husband loves birds? It seems like most people love birds. Every Stampin’ Up! catalog has at least 2 or 3 bird-related products, and I usually end up buying all of them. I was particularly excited about the Nests of Winter product suite, because it’s so fun and beautiful. I’ve been…
