ISS Blog Hop – Step It Up 2025
I have a really hard time making simple cards that I like. I usually find them bland or empty, and I struggle to make cards without using patterned paper. But I found the solution to all of my problems: really big stamps. Behold: the simple card. I turned the stamp upside down and used three…

ISS Blog Hop – Fabulous Fun Folds
Have you ever seen a card design that was pretty unpractical but so cool you just had to make it? Those are the best kinds of fun folds. This card is too big for a normal envelope. It measures at 6″ x 8″ when closed. It’s kind of flimsy, and can be difficult to pick…

Lovely & Sweet Spotlight Card
I have an exciting announcement! I have started a YouTube channel! It only has one video on it so far, but I hope to keep making tutorial videos for crafting. My first video features this card. This is one of my favorite suites, and I’m very sad that some of it is retiring. Luckily, the…

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…
