It’s almost Valentine’s Day, but today I wanted to share a quick decor project that’s generic enough to leave up during the rest of the year if you’d like. Using the Silhouette Stencil Material with some embossing paste and ready-made canvases from the craft store, I made this set of three textured ombré hearts in just a […]

Bottlebrush Tree Shaker Card
It’s the middle of November and this is the first Christmas card I’ve made this year. Normally, I would be finishing up my 20th card or so by this time (I only make about 25 total)…but I have no idea where the time has gone! Oh, I’ve bought plenty of new Christmas stamps (there were […]
Snow Princess Birthday Card
Did you know that your sketch pens are compatible with alcohol-based markers? 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, […]

And since I couldn’t decide which method I liked best, I decided to share all three. The […]

I colored the back of the […]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Just wanted to share a quick card I made for my little niece and wish you all a happy Valentine’s Day…I hope you are spending the day with the ones you love! I colored this cute image from the “Stuck on You” stamp set from Penny Black using Copics and cut it out using the […]
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 […]
