Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸 Today I’m sharing a collection of my favorite patriotic cards from the past several years. Whether you’re looking for red, white and blue color inspiration or creative layouts to spark your next project, I hope you’ll enjoy this festive parade of cards. Wishing you a safe, happy and creative Independence Day! ♥
Celebrate the Fourth of July with a card full of patriotic color, distressed Two-Tone Cardstock and the beautiful new Swirls of Magic Embossing Folder. I’m sharing how a Halloween-themed embossing folder became the perfect backdrop for a red, white and blue celebration.

The June Bikes & Blooms Paper Pumpkin kit was beautiful as designed—but I couldn’t resist giving it a creative twist!

Christmas is coming… just a little early! Today I’m sharing my first card featuring the NEW Pretty Poinsettia Bundle, available July 1 – and it’s making quite an impression. The gorgeous embossed-and-die-cut flowers create incredible texture with very little effort, and I paired them with Wood Grain Wonder Designer Series Paper for a warm, elegant holiday look.
My Summer 2026 One-for-One Card Swap is officially underway! Create one handmade card, mail it to me with a stamped return envelope, and I’ll send you a different handmade card from another participant. It’s one of my favorite events because it brings cardmakers together through happy mail. There’s no sign-up required – just create, mail and enjoy! I hope you’ll join the fun.
