Today I have a cute favor idea for those winter or Christmastime weddings that also works well as a small gift for teachers or neighbors. Several years ago, I got married a week before Christmas because I love the season so much, but I tied the knot in the Caribbean so there were no fun winter favors […]
Vellum
Birthday Owl Treat Bags
I’m back today with a fun project perfect for a child’s birthday party. These vellum treat bags were cut with my Silhouette and embellished with die-cut stamped images from the “What a Hoot” set by Pink & Main. I’m so excited that Pink & Main has started offering coordinating dies for some of their stamp […]
Pretty as a Flower Card
I’m so ready for springtime. We had a relatively mild winter this year until February came along…and then it was ice storm after ice storm! Thankfully, this week we finally broke into the 70s and it was like everyone in the metropolitan area suddenly relaxed a bit (including myself). Anyway, when I saw the new […]
Print & Cut Strawberry Shortcake Card & Gift Bag
I don’t know about you, but I was thrilled to see the new Strawberry Shortcake designs in the store recently. Although she and her friends look a little different these days (I actually like their makeovers!), it still brings back fond memories. My little niece shares my enthusiasm, so I created this card and little gift bag […]
Bloom with Hope Watercolor Birthday Card

With any of the major brands of alcohol markers that I tested, the regular sketch pen ink does not bleed when colored over and does not leave a residue on the nibs (I would be cautious when using the glitter or metallic sketch pens, however, […]
Watercolor Inchies Card
I wanted to try Shari’s technique today from Day 1 of OnlineCardClasses.com’s “Stretch Your Stamps 2” class…and I did. I don’t love how this turned out, but I think the colors are pretty and at least I have several more watercolor backgrounds I created alongside it to play with at a later date when I […]
Sandy Beach Tags
I picked up a couple of boxes of that kinetic sand at Michaels the other day as a small summertime gift for my niece and nephew. Since I don’t get to see them as much as I’d like, I always like to package these little presents up nicely before shipping in the hopes that they […]
