Have you ever noticed how the saguaro cactus can have the same shape as a human with arms raised? I bet that human is about to give you a really big hug because you’ve done something awesome and are amazing! To make a sweet card (that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day), I added a sweet heart to the saguaro to make him even more lifelike. Here’s my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Flowering Desert & Amazing…
I set out to make a cute, Valentine’s Day-themed card last week using the sweet hot air balloons from the Lift Me Up stamp set. After playing around with elements on my card, my balloon-themed card turned into a sweet bunny-themed card (you can see that card here)- and the balloons were set aside. I picked them back up to make this fun card for two of this week’s online challenges. Here’s my card: Here’s…
Love is a crazy-wonderful thing. It’s difficult to think of how you’d ever live without the people you love the most. How different would life have been without them? It might sound corny, but finding “that missing piece” transforms life forever. With that in mind, I created this sweet, simple Valentine’s Day card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Love You to Pieces & Be Mine. The only stamp on this card is “You are my missing…

When a friend of mine suddenly lost her Mom, I knew I needed to make a special card. I immediately reached for a stamp set that doesn’t define my style – Very Vintage. I layered beautiful colors from beautiful papers to create this comforting card: The floral image also works wonderfully with this week’s Global Design Project challenge – a them challenge centered around the garden. Here’s the banner for the challenge that inspired my…
On my birthday I decided I would send a handmade card to everyone who placed an order on that day – and I sent a small gift to everyone who placed an order over $50. I’m so happy I was able to send out a handful of cards (and I still have four to address and send). Here’s the card I created for these special customers: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Home to Roost. Home to…
I love to collect and use Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Papers. What a great way to find inspiration for our projects! The colors and patterns pair perfectly with other products we love. This past week I shared two cards that showcase the patterns and colors in Stampin’ Up!’s Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper, a gorgeous pack of papers in Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Occasions Catalog that coordinates with the Floral Romance Suite. I’m excited to…
Sometimes a card idea hits you when you are in the middle of making a different card – and everything stops. You can hear the breaks screech and the tires slide as the car comes to a rapid and complete standstill. That’s what happened when I sat down with hot air balloons and a “love is in the air” sentiment to make this sweet Valentine’s Day card: All the balloons were stamped and cut and…
Warm colors and a touch of nature – that’s what I set out to embrace when I made a get well card for this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge. Here’s my card: And here’s the banner for the challenge by my friend, Donna Mikasa, that inspired my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Two Stamps. My simple card features two stamp sets from Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Occasions Catalog – the image from the Just Because Host…
