Just a quick post with a card I made today while I was playing around with some new stamps: I created the background by stamping the tag outline and sentiment from the “Tag Sayings” set (Simon Says Stamp) in Pink Pirouette and Smoky Slate inks (Stampin’ Up). The tags looked a little bare to me […]

For their new challenge, you are asked to base your project on an inspiration piece from their blog, gallery, or catalog and use at least […]

For today’s card, I took the idea of a mini envelope card and turned it into a little treat bag for Halloween. I designed the bag in Silhouette Studio to be about the right size for a mini Hershey bar or a handful of small candies and cut it out of patterned paper from Stampin’ […]
