Wildly Flowering Trimmed Flap Card
I’ve been intimidated by the Happy Little Things stamp set for awhile now. It’s bold and fun and I love when sentiments are in different colors or when part of them is cut out and popped up, but I could never get my mind around how to do it. The best way to learn was…

Wildly Flowering 3×3 Card
When I first showed my husband these cards, he got really confused. “Can you send those in the mail? They’re so small!” I reminded him that sometimes its hard to figure out what to say in a card, and also presents tend to have cards attached to them. These are the perfect size to send…

Mediterranean Blooms Fractal Card
Sometimes it’s nice to make a simple card that looks complicated. This fractal card was made by using a large DSP background and gluing 1/4″ wide strips into the fractal shape. The illusion is fun and makes it a really neat image. Isn’t this paper beautiful? It makes me want to visit Italy and Greece…

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…

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…

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…

Cradled in Love Sunny Days Card
I was excited to use this stamp set because I love the simple sketch style. I knew it would be really fun to use Stampin’ Blends with, and it was! I had a little bit of a hard time coming up with a color palette, but then I turned to my current favorite DSP and…
