Sliders are my new favorite thing to make. Today for MFT Camp Create I made a HIDDEN slider for the first time! I think it it awesome and surprising to have a hidden slider on a card! Oh, and these seagulls are a new favorite set for me: I used the new MFT Cloud Stencil […]

Wonderful Watercolor (MFT Camp Create Day 1)
Today I’m playing along with MFT Camp Create. I’ve never fully tried watercolor on this flower stamp set and today was the day to give it a try! I usually try to stay in the lines and control where the color goes, but for this card I let the color go where it may. And […]
Homemade Glitter Paper (Sparkle & Shine: Day 1)
I just cannot miss an Online Card Class, and this Sparkle & Shine class was no exception! I love adding a little sparkle to my cards and I was excited to learn some additional ways to make my projects shine! On Day 1, we learned quite a bit about glitter. Well, I don’t like glitter […]
Hoppy Birthday
I can’t believe I have never used this Argyle stamp set from Lawn Fawn. It is so much fun to stamp, and it’s so cute! The inks I used are Simon Says Stamp in Fog and Audrey Blue. Then I took that blue ink and splattered some ink splotches on the background, making sure I […]
Stretch Your Dies (day 4) — Patterned Paper die cutting
So I’m going a bit out of order! I am waiting for some packages to come in so I can finish up some homework. While I wait, I thought I’d just go ahead and post some other cards for class. Today we learned about using a small die cut to enhance patterned paper. Such a […]
Heat Shrink Craft Foam
I’m taking the Online Card Class: Stretch Your Dies. It is awesome! The first day I was impressed with Jennifer McGuire’s class on shrinking craft foam on your cards. So for my card, I shrunk the word “hello” in black craft foam…and then dry embossed the original size on the background. It is a subtle […]
Flowers Everywhere
If you asked me a favorite place to be in all the places you could ever be….I would say in a field of flowers. I feel so peaceful with flowers all around. In fact, a favorite place to visit is the Flower Fields in California (in April or May). It it just amazing!! (Read my […]
Hey, Sexy Lady
Ok, so who wouldn’t love to get this as a birthday card? This Mama Elephant sentiment just cracks me up and I KNEW I had to use it along with one of their adorable panda bears. That is one cute dancing panda! I just can’t even stop grinning. I’m just loving their products right […]
Hi Pretty Pink Posh
Today I thought I’d enter the Pretty Pink Posh Cutting Edge Challenge. I’ve had these dies from Pretty Pink Posh: Stitched Duo dies 1 and Stitched Borders 1 and I wanted to make a pretty shoppe scene. It took me a while to make this look like I envisioned. I just LOVE this new […]
Have a Monster of a Birthday
I’ve been working on some masculine cards lately. This is a simple card, but a favorite! That little monster from Paper Smooches is so funny…and he can cheer me up like no other. This time, I painted him with green liquid pearls. It gives him a pearlescent glow and adds a little texture! Then I […]
