Unbounded Beauty Mother’s Day Card
I wanted to make a simple and bright card to send to my mom this year for Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day was always her favorite holiday growing up, as she would patiently wait for my dad, sister, and me to bring her breakfast in bed. We even had our dog help–she would tow in a…

Filled with Happiness Gate Fold Card
My husband loves birds, so I tend to buy all of the products with birds on them. This is one of my favorites. I love the design of the bird and how the sentiment wraps around it. The stamp is so large that it can be the focalpoint of the card without needing to add…

ISS Blog Hop – Step it Up for Spring
For this month’s blog hop, we decided to make double the cards! Spring is here and the new catalogue approaches, so we have lots of excitement for stamping. We made two cards: one simpler, and one “stepped up”. The idea is showing how different products can be used to enhance a design, while also showing…

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…

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…
