Happy Saturday! I have a simple Saturday card for you today ~ my favorite kind of card to make! It is quick and easy with a punch for the sentiment label, beautiful DSP, and contrasting layers. I’m using Sun Prints with Wildlife Wonder for the sentiment. Here it is ~…
First of all, may I just say how much I love this free Sale-a-bration DSP? I hope you’ve put in a $50 order so you can get a pack. It’s called Rings of Love and every sheet is so pretty. You’ll find it on page 6-7 of the SAB brochure.…

This is the last of our five new In Colors for 2022-24! Today I’m introducing Orchid Oasis. It’s a slightly lighter shade than Starry Sky. Both are beautiful purplish blues. I pulled two sheets of Tea Boutique DSP to use on this card and two strips of the In Color…

Yesterday I showed you a card that I made using the new Artfully Composed DSP. You can see it HERE. I liked it but felt the proportions were a little “off.” So I made some adjustments and have a new one to show you today. Same card, different proportions. Here…
I’m playing with the new selections of Designer Series Papers that are coming out on January 4, 2022. Today I’m looking at Artfully Composed. This is a collage of greens and tropical foliage that come together in a bold way. So here’s a sneak peek at Artfully Composed DSP. I…
I have the sweetest friend who popped over with dinner when she heard I wasn’t feeling well. Her homemade soup, salad, and wonderful bread was just what the doctor ordered! And I will be thanking her for her thoughtfulness with this card made from the What’s Cookin’? stamp set by…
Another one of the cards in my July card class was this Expressions in Ink thank you card. So pretty in Polished Pink and Metallic Gold. You don’t have to do much when the DSP is this pretty and detailed! I simply heat embossed the “thanks” from Artistically Inked with…
