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 – Favorites from Sept-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog

For this month, we wanted to showcase our favorite products from the September – December 2024 Mini Catalog! There are so many wonderful things in this catalog, but I knew which suite I wanted to promote to y’all. Everything I used to make this card is from the Regal Winter Suite Collection (found on page…

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…

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…

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…
