Hello, Irresistible Blended Landscape Card

I was shocked at how easy this card was to make. I think it looks really complicated! It’s like there’s a sunset over mountains or something. But it was simple and really fun. All you need is blending brushes, a mask, a torn piece of paper, and two ink pads. I want to learn more…

ISS Blog Hop – Techniques

I wasn’t sure if this card was going to turn out well, but I’m super pleased with it. It’s not what I would normally try to make, but I think it’s so fun. It’s abstract and colorful and fairly versatile. The other great thing about this design is that it’s so easy to make a…

Blended Splendid Thoughts Card

I recently got the itch to use some blending brushes and break out stamp pads that I haven’t used in awhile. I wasn’t really sure what I was going to make, but I ended up coming up with this! It was fun and a little nervewracking ad-libbing this card. I actually put it aside for…

Delightfully Eclectic Cards

You know, it’s hard to admit, but in any DSP set, there are usually one or two patterns that I don’t really like. Sometimes the design just doesn’t pop, and sometimes I don’t like the color combination. So it’s very rare that every one of the 12 patterns will be a hit, and even more…

ISS Blog Hop – Valentine’s Day

I’ve wanted to figure out a way to feature this bee and this is what I came up with! It’s a fairly easy card, once you figure out how to cut all the papers so the slanted edge aligns on all of them. Yellow is my favorite color and I love seeing it so prominently…

Delightfully Eclectic Birthday Card

I wanted to find a way to highlight my favorite Designer Series Paper. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do until I received the new and upcoming Pretty Peacock & Gold Ribbon and inspiration struck. I was elated when I realized that the new Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems matched everything perfectly.…

Advent Wreath Card

Advent is my favorite liturgical season. It’s a time of expectation and reflection. It also has a few traditions that I love. One of those is hearing O Come, O Come Emmanuel once or twice at mass every week (this song is wonderful but someone should write more Advent songs). Another is the advent wreath.…

Holly Jolly Top Fold Card

I’m really loving this Christmas Classics set. I wanted to make a simple card that showed off some of this lovely DSP and was a little out of the ordinary. I figured a top fold card was a great way to make this card stand out while still being easy to make. The goal was…
