Yesterday, I posted this chalkboard-inspired card that I made using sketch pens in my Cameo and some metallic colored pencils (for details on the card exterior, please see this post): Today is the first day of OnlineCardClasses.com’s Insider Class, and we were asked to take a card we’ve already completed and add some interest to the […]
Halloween Chalkboard Card using Silhouette Sketch Pens
I know most people don’t make a lot of Halloween cards…but I live pretty far away from my entire family, so sending a note on even the smallest of holidays is important to me. Surprisingly, I’ve been enjoying the chalkboard trend, so I decided to use my Cameo to sketch out a couple of Halloween […]

Etched Autumn Vases

Silhouette Stamping Kit Card
When I heard that Silhouette was coming out with a Stamping Kit, I was beyond excited…but, naturally, still a little skeptical. I mean, how could I possibly get use out of a stamp that wasn’t “deeply-etched red rubber” or the “highest quality photopolymer”? I got a pretty good deal on my kit from an online […]
Early Autumn Wreath
It’s not technically autumn yet, but once the school buses start rolling around here, I always decide it’s time to take down the summer decor.
