Puppy Love

 Hello, 

This stamp is so so so so so CUTE!  I love all the little puppies. I stamped the image once onto the pink cardstock.  Then again onto white cardstock.  I used copics to color the puppies.   So much love...one little stamp!!

Under the Moon (with tutorial)

 Hello all, 

I have a love/hate relationship with embossing powder.  It can be challenging to get a clear image without flecks all over.  Well... What if you want the flecks?  Check out this technique where I turn the flecks into stars on my evening sky card. You can see the video here

Perfect wife?

 Hello!

I love cards that make people laugh.  I also love chocolate.  What could be better?  

When I was creating this card I wanted to use soft colors.  I picked purple so it wouldn't feel like a Valentine's day card.  It could be used anytime of year.  I accented the card with white clay hearts.

More than Coffee

 Hello,

Valentine's Day is a little less than a month away.  Do you have any special plans?  My husband and I keep it simple.  I always make him a card.  He is a huge coffee drinker.  I thought I would do something coffee themed this year.  The new Inside out Set is making that so easy!  I love how this project turned out.  What do you think?  You can see how I made this card here

Foiling Game Changer (with video)

 Hello all, 

Foiling is a huge trend in stamping. I love the look but I wasn't excited about purchasing a bunch more dies. I found WoW bonding powder. I thought it would be awesome to try. The powder is really fine. Finer than most embossing powder. Check out the results in this video. Look out world... I can foil any of my stamps!

Faker Shaker

 Greetings, 

Another catch up day.  I didn't get all the my Christmas cards posted.  This is one of my favorites. I was originally thinking of this as just a flat panel... but then I had the thought to turn it into a Faker Shaker card.  Faker shakers are so easy to make and they are easier to mail than a real shaker card.   Have you guys tried making a faker shaker yet?

Simple to Bold.

 Hello, 

I wanted to do a little experimenting with the Open Heart stamp.  This stamp is so elegant.  I thought it would look pretty in white/silver perfect pearls.   I really liked how it turned out so I wanted to make a second one.  This time I used my versamark marker to fill in the center of the hearts.   I'm not sure what version I like better.  The filled in hearts are certainly bolder.  What is your preference?
