  • Tea Time


    Perfect card for a tea lover or friend you haven’t seen in a while. The floral teapot stands out against the black & white lattice background. Just a few days, a bit of pretty paper & whatever other two colors you pick & you have yourself a card.

    It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge & we are visiting MacKenzie-Childs & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture. I liked the pink flowers against the black & white check. Since I didn’t have anything w/ black & white checks, I used a lattice die with some black & white inserts to give the impression of the pattern. The tea cup & teapot were die cut out of floral paper & also a pink paint chip. I wanted a couple of shades of pink & paint chips are great for this. I pieced the parts of the tea cup & teapot together, then popped them up to add some dimension.

    They were attached to a fancy die cut oval & the greeting was cut out using one of the suitcase parts that happened to be the exact size I needed. Lastly, a little pearlized jewel was added to the teapot lid.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Pictures of Fall


    A fun card, featuring a polaroid framed scarecrow in a cornfield along w/ a mini polaroid of pumpkins & a sunflower. Perfect for fall & Thanksgiving. Entirely die cut & easy to customize w/ any colors you like.


    For the Inspiration Challenge IC933), we are visiting Lake Effect Gallery & their Pinterest Board. THIS was my inspiration picture. The fall images & pictures all laid out made me think of of polaroid pictures so that’s the direction I went. Except for the greeting, my card is entirely die cut. I had a bunch of scraps of fall colors sitting out from a previous card, so I used them to die cut all the pieces of my scarecrow, cornfield, sunflowers & pumpkins. Sometimes it actually works out when you don’t put everything away. I die cut the 2 sizes of polaroid frames (sm in white & lg in rust) & backed them w/ card board to elevate & give them some sturdiness.

    I did add a bit of shading here & there w/ a few Copic markers. After stamping the greeting, it was a just a matter of putting the die cuts together & arranging them inside the frames.

    Thanks so much for stopping  by!

  • Snowflake Love


    A big congrats to Cindy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS861)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the Love part & the layout, but I made mine a Christmas theme, used snowflakes & different colors.

    For my silvery snowflake card, I wanted it to be really shiny so I glued a heavy weight aluminum foil to card stock then die cut it twice: first w/ a mini slimline then w/ a piercing die of flowers & swirls. It looks terrific in person, but it’s so hard to photograph. I also die cut some snowflakes & the Love out of the same foiled cardstock. The flowers & leaves were die cut out of 3 shades of blue & silver snowflakes attached on top. The greeting says ” Peace. Love. Joy” but I replaced the Love word w/ the die cut version.

    I used a dk blue snowflake paper for the sides. I die cut it w/ the same mini slimline die then cut it in half & attached it on either side of the foil panel.

    Thanks so m
