It’s a beautiful summer day to enjoy life! This card reminds me of my daughter who runs marathons early in the morning. She is raising her arms in victory with the sunrise behind her. When I saw this silhouette stamp I knew I wanted to try creating a sunburst behind.…
I had the opportunity to attend a stamping event held by a fellow demonstrator, Janice Urke, last week. I had so much fun making cards that were designed, prepped, and organized by her! It was a real treat! I want to show you some of the cards we made. I…
I learned this fun new “round ‘n round” technique from Linda Heller, and couldn’t wait to try it out! I cased her circle piece and added it to my own color blocking design. Here’s my card ~ This technique uses the Stamparatus. If you don’t have one yet, I encourage…
Today’s card is fast and fun ~ you can make several in no time and be ready for a relaxing weekend! It’s all about the colors and layering on this card. The Happy Birthday Thinlits in Tranquil Tide really pop against the pale Soft Sea Foam. Both colors, along with…
I have another Varied Vases card for you today with one of my favorite colors, Bermuda Bay. I want to credit Chris Smith for this vase arrangement. I changed it just a little, by putting the vases on a shelf and by using Blends to color them rather than Watercolor…

Hello everyone! This is my second post today. I am putting together orders for some In Color Sampler Bundles and want to share them with you. It’s always nice to try something out without buying the whole lot, so I’ve made a Sampler of our new 2018-20 In Colors for…
Today’s card features another beautiful selection of Designer Series Paper from Nature’s Poem DSP. I paired it with a sentiment from Colorful Seasons to make an all-occasions card. This paper contains Fresh Fig and Petal Pink and the leaf pattern is delicate and beautiful! I used Fresh Fig for my…
