Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday. As some of you may remember, I attended the onlinecardclasses clean and simple 3 class and the focus was on one layer cards. I have a card that uses the die masking technique that I used on this card but tonight's card is, indeed, a one-layer card. I sponged around the heart and also sponged the area where the sentiment would be placed. The base layer is white and the sponged area is Primrose Petals. I stamped the sentiment from "See Ya Later" onto the card. I am really loving this set - and just a... Read more →
Hi Everyone Happy Monday. I hope you all had a great weekend. I certainly did. Except... it's snowing this morning. Yep! We have already had over an inch of snow!

I pulled out some of my most favorite evah SU paper - Sweet Sorbet (only available... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. I found a new challenge site... well, new to me! It's called Stamping Our Stash and they have a challenge that was really cool. Use only the stash that you have on hand and the only stamped element can be the sentiment! Now.... that gave me lots of inspiration to go off and find some of my favorite DSP and make it shine! I used the SU banners framelits, some Birthday Basics DSP and one of the sentiments from the hostess set - See Ya Later. I paired it with some Bermuda Bay card stock. Here's... Read more →
