Hello! I am back with more fun using the wood paper… along with colored wood embellishments and a window card design. Watch and see… I was inspired to die cut windows from some awesome wood paper after seeing a card my fab friend Kathy Racoosin did at a retreat a couple weeks ago. (Be sure [...]
So apparently lately I have been addicted to wood veneer embellishments. My favorites? Studio Calico, Prima and Freckled Fawn. However, sometimes I can’t find the perfect shape for a project. Solution? Make my own. And I added color, too! Here’s how… I wish the photo showed the wood‘s texture better… These dies melt my heart. [...]
Hello! Just sharing a card I did for Paper Crafts magazine awhile back. Lots of texture. Lots of die cutting… I used my Vagabond and the Tim Holtz heart dies to cut these hearts from various materials – felt, wood, cork, corrugated board and canvas. (The Vagabond cuts through anything like butter.) The greeting and [...]
Hello! I am starting to pick up more work again with Hero Arts and am so happy about it. (Took quite awhile off – pretty much – while I adjusted to the many changes here in our house.) And today I shared a simple yet glittery card on their blog… one that uses a new [...]

And, once again, my favorite new background stamp… I die cut the wreath from Neenah white cardstock and colored it with Copic markers (YG17, YG67, R22, R24, BG13, BG15). Did it quick and simple – not over thinking it. I [...]
Remember the bunch of stamps and dies I shared yesterday? I got to play with them today! Me? I am a happy girl. First up? A fun one for my hubby. I used the Absolutely Edge Die and Stamps… which cuts along an edge and has matching stamps. Such a cool look! (By the way, [...]
Warning: Major enabling coming up. Big time enabling. Simon Says Stamp just released a ton of new exclusive product. And it is really good. See for yourself… First up? Stamp and die combos. (You can buy the stamps and dies separately, too.) These sets are amazing. The first is my favorite! But look closely at [...]
