ISS Blog Hop – Handmade for the Holidays

I always have to fight the urge to make things harder for myself when I’m making cards. I always think I need to do complicated techniques to make cards that I love. But I often don’t have the time or the energy to make an intricate card. Luckily, there’s stamps and patterned paper that lead…

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…

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…

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…

ISS Blog Hop – Masking Technique

For this month, we thought it would be good to practice a technique! This is a card made using masking paper. I find it tricky to use sometimes because you need it to stick well, but not too much. I feel like this card came out fairly well, but certainly not perfect. I love blending…
