Don’t you just love this big Happy Birthday greeting? It’s from the Happy Birthday Everyone hostess set. And how about the lighthouse . . . it’s from the set From Land to Sea. Two great sets combined with 2 other great sets–By the Tide (sea shell) and Gorgeous Grunge (my favorite!). Creating a faux layer card is easy and would wow the recipient of the …
Here’s a bit of Subway Art using the One Big Meaning stamp. There are different types of Subway Art and when I first saw this stamp, I immediately thought of creating a card like this one. This stamp set is perfect for this type of card. To bring it all together, I used the Watercolor Wash background stamp. How do you stamp with your large …
I thought you might need a break from flowers, so let’s go with something that may eat them up! I know, I know . . .. not all dinosaurs eat plants . . .or that they eat flowers, but let’s just pretend. The No Bones About It stamp set is a great set. It comes with 4 dinosaur images and their skeletal bodies, along with …

Have you tried the new Whisper White Thick cardstock yet? Here’s what I think of it in comparison to the regular Whisper White cardstock. The thick cardstock is perfect for when you have a lot of embellishments on your card – it holds up very well. The regular Whisper White cardstock is good but does not stand up as well when you have lots of …
Today’s card was created with the Best Thoughts Stamp set and the sentiment from the Choose Happiness set. Notice the background behind the flower? It’s the new Brick Wall Embossing Folder. I absolutely love the look of the Brick Wall! The folder measures 6″ x 6″ which is larger than the other embossing folders. For this card I stamped the flower in Memento Ink and colored …

For this card, I used Cheerful Critters for the bunny image, Cupcake Party for the cupcakes, Dotty Angles …

It’s been 2 weeks since I’ve posted anything. Here’s why . . . I had hand/wrist surgery last week after dealing with pain and cortisone shots in my right hand for some time. I decided it was time to fix it. The downside of it is that I need to keep my hand elevated for two weeks which means I can’t stamp! I can’t really …
The Timeless Talk stamp had the perfect sentiment image for the card I made for my pastor’s 50th birthday. I didn’t have a guitar image so I decided to try to make my own guitar that resembled his flaming red one. I used my Simply Scored Tool to score the fret and then went over the scored lines and decorative swirls with my Uniball White …
Here’s another Mother’s Day card using the Pleasant Poppies stamp set, which you can easily substitute the sentiment.

You can use the Pleasant Poppies set as a background, part of …
