Timeless Portrait Card


I made this appreciation card recently for someone who shared some amazing insights and personal learning. When she spoke she used an image of a tree as God, and I couldn't help but think of her as swinging confidently, freely, connected to that tree. So I pulled out this stamp from my Forever Young stampset and made this card.

Recipe (all SU):
Cardstock - cherry cobbler, island indigo, basic black, whisper shite
Ink - basic black
DSP - timeless portrait
Stamps - forever young, strength & hope
Dies - label collection framelit dies; vintage wallpaper embossing folder

Heart Framelits - Hot Air Balloon Valentine's Card


This was the valentine card I made for my hubby this year:) I wanted to use my new heart framelit dies but I didn't want it to end up looking to feminine...then I came up with a hot air balloon idea and it fit so well with some of adventures that I thought it would work. I paired it with the well worn dsp which added to the feel. I just love the sheet I used to cut the hearts out for the balloon with the red fleur des lis...my husband and I both just love Paris:)

Recipe (all SU):
Cardstock - soft sued, very vanilla, not quite navy
DSP - well worn
Stamps - clearly for you
Punches - heart to heart, postage stamp
Dies - heart framelits; perfect details textures plate
Other - crystal effects (small heart on amour banner); linen thread (strings on balloon and accross banner); vanilla smooch spritz

Tea Caddy



We had a great time at the Tea for Two class I did on Saturday! This tea caddy was one of the five projects we made. The main box is made out of a 6 x 12 piece of baja breeze textured cardstock. The base is a piece of dsp backer/carboard covered by baja breeze and it's topped with a lid, so you can easily refill with teabags. Ribbon is the baja breeze seam binding and all the cardstock comes from the twitterpasted dsp pack...all stamps come from the Tea Shoppe set.

Happiest Birthday


This was a recent birthday card for a dear friend. I used the Apothecary Art stamp set from the Occasions Mini along with the Everyday Enchantment from the Sale-a-bration flyer (which you can earn free right now with a minimum order!). I coloured the stamped image with SU markers and then went back in with darker touches using a blender pen directly with an ink pad. I also used the striped embossing folder for the background of the card...you can purchase it from the regular catalog or earn it for free right now as part of Sale-a-bration.

If you want to get in on the Sale-bration fun, be sure to contact me to place your order or book your workshop!
