I love non-traditional colors for Christmas – while green and red are all around us during the Holidays, blues can be gorgeous, metallic shades can really shine and a black-and-white card can be stunning. For my local club this past week, we showcased Carols of Christmas bundle in Rose Red and Wild Wasabi for a gorgeous card. Here’s one of the projects we made: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Carols of Christmas. I spent the first…
I love my InKing Royalty team! While you already know many of them from their awesome blogs and super-creative projects, most of my team members are “hobbyist” demonstrators (they enjoy the benefits and discounts with no obligation to sell to others). They also love the exclusive online community we’ve created on Facebook – we share projects and ideas and inspiration every day. It’s so awesome to bring people together from across the United States through…
The traditional gift to celebrate a five year wedding anniversary is wood. A wooden bowl, a wooden clock, a new deck on the back of the house. I suppose any of those could make a perfect wood-themed gift. How about a beautiful card (paper is made from wood pulp – although paper has its own anniversary) that features wood? I think that’s pretty awesome. 🙂 Here’s my card for this week’s “wedding/anniversary” themed challenge at…

Please raise your hand if you think I love stamp sets with sweet images and bold sentiments. You might look a little silly to whoever is near you, wondering why you’ve just energetically thrown your hand into the air. That’s OK because you guessed right and have officially earned all of my love a respect. Here’s my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Watercolor Christmas. If you still have your hand in the air, feel free…
This week’s trio of bright colors are exciting and fresh. Lemon Lime Twist (a bright and cheery green) plays well with Melon Mambo and Flirty Flamingo (two great shades of pink). What a great combo! I reached for the super-cool Eclectic Layers Thinlits Dies to make this bright and cheery card: And here’s the banner for the challenge that inspired my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Eclectic Layers Thinlits Dies.
