Cards
Stained Wood Inlay Card
I was inspired by a recent Mother’s Day Menu post to break out my wood paper and make a pretty springtime card. And since die cut inlaying is so popular right now, I thought it’d be fun to stain my wood bits and adhere them back into my panel for a slightly vintage-y look. Start by cutting the floral design […]
Cherry Blossom Fans Card
Hey ya’ll…just stopping in for a quick share of a card I made with my Simon Says Stamp April 2014 Card Kit. I didn’t really have anyone to send lightbulbs to…so when I saw the stamp set included in the kit, the light rays actually looked like little fans to me. And since it’s almost […]
Kraft Easter Card
I spent some time making cards this weekend, so I have a quick share today using some Newton’s Nook stamps and paper from Basic Grey.

Floral Hexagon Card
I love all of the patterned papers from the new Basic Grey “Fresh Cuts” collection 6×6 pad (probably going to be one of my favorite paper collections of all time!), so I wanted to find a way to use them all on one card. After punching out tons of little hexagons using my Fiskars small […]
Embossed Stencil Get Well Card
Since I got so far behind in OnlineCardClasses.com’s Stenciled class, I decided to start on my card for Day 4 (today) first, and then work my way backwards this week as time allows. I really liked Julie’s use of a stencil to emboss and then ink her background, so I used a stencil I had […]
