A card-making and papercrafting video blog
Hi All! Isn’t this stamp so darn cute? It’s Birthday Buddies by Paper Smooches. When I create a card for the blog, I always show it to my kids first, then I do a video to create a second one. Well, I was showing this card to Courtney, my 8 year old, and she said, “Oh Mommy, it’s so cute! I love their party hats!”. I quickly flipped it around so I could see it. Party hats? I colored that {Read More}

Hi All! I can’t believe it took me so long to get around to using this set called A Drink A Day by There She Goes Stamps. I love it! There are so many different stamps that come in the package. I used Copic Markers to color the images. The background is a stamp called Distressed Dots by Stampin’ Up!. Unfortunately, it’s on the retired list. Ugh, I dislike the retired list. On the bright side, I’ve seen the new {Read More}
Happy Friday All!! I’m so happy and honored to be teaming up with Jill Foster during the month of May! Each Friday we will be collaborating on a specific Penny Black stamp set. This week is Tiger Lily! Lilies are my absolute favorite flower, so I was really excited to be working with this stamp. Now, I know it’s supposed to be a Tiger Lily, but why not a Stargazer? Here’s my card for this week: Rather than using the {Read More}
Hi All, Today I used my favorite white ink: ColorBox. This ink lays on very white and very thick. I recently used it on a very detailed stamp and the image was crisp and perfect. On this card, I applied the ink directly from the pad to the paper. I colored the butterfly with Inktense Pencils… I used a wet brush and pulled color directly from the pencil itself. You get a really vibrant color using this technique. And, it {Read More}
Hi All! I thought it was about time for an owl card. I can’t believe I ever doubted buying this punch! Did you notice I added a subject in the top menu called “Owls & Animals”? All of my owl cards show up in this list. This card was actually really simple to make. The card base is 5 1/2″ x 12″. I scored it at 2″, 4″, 8″, and 10″, so the final folded card is 5 1/2″ x {Read More}
Hi All, Okay, so I have to say that I really don’t know how I came up with this card. I don’t think I’ve ever used a bird on a card before. I’m just not that into birds. Well, except for owls of course!! Anyway, I used masking after I stamped my flowers, then I blended them with a blender pen. I really like this Elements of Style stamp for scrapbooking. I didn’t think I had used it on a {Read More}
