Hello everyone! This week, I finished my Rupert project. It has quite a few steps/techniques so I thought I’d break it into parts. In this part, I’ll talk about how I made Rupert and all of his books. I’m just going to list the products I used in each individual part to make it lessContinue reading “Rupert and His Treasure (part 1)”

Oliver and Friend
This month the theme for our swap group is Spring/Easter. I decided to use cute Oliver on a 5″ x 5″ card. On an 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheet of paper you end up with a 3 1/2″ x 11″ strip, so I decided to also make a little 3″ x 3″ note card toContinue reading “Oliver and Friend”
Sympathy Cards
I’ve been a bit AWOL for the last few weeks. A dear friend of mine has been fighting for her life since surgery in December. She fought hard until the end but unfortunately passed away last week. All of her friends and family are understandably devastated. She was a wonderful person and was always cheeringContinue reading “Sympathy Cards”
Bunny Band
When I saw this die, I immediately thought the carrots would be cute musical instruments. I guess my brain just works in weird ways…lol. Anyway, I thought it would be a fun project. I took lots of pics this time, because even though it’s not hard, it might be hard to explain without pictures. Materials:Continue reading “Bunny Band”
Harrison loves you
This week, Harrison wants to be your Valentine! There are not many steps to this card, but I think Harrison is super cute with his Valentine’s day box of candy. My lovely friend, Iris, gave me this idea while I was playing with the Harrison die. Finished size of this card is 5 1/2″ xContinue reading “Harrison loves you”
Snarky Cat Birthday
For this card, I thought the Stamptember snarky cat image paired well with this sentiment from the original Snarky Cats stamp set. My card swap group had “humor” as the theme this month, so I thought this was perfect. Materials Used: Tim Holtz Stamptember 2020 stamp set Tim Holtz Snarky Cats -CMS392 Crazy Talk stampContinue reading “Snarky Cat Birthday”

Materials Used: Distress Paints– Mermaid Lagoon, Speckled Egg, Festive Berries, Ground Espresso, Carved Pumpkin, Black Soot, Rustic Wilderness. Picket Fence Distress Ink– I inked several pieces and I am not 100% sure which endedContinue reading “Vintage Santa”
Winter Wonderland
This card came about after I saw someone post about reverse painting on acrylic. I thought it was so pretty, that I should try it. Mine is a shaker card with LOTS of mica flakes…lol. (Can never have too much mica right?) Materials: Stampers Anonymous Winterscape stamp set (CMS428) Stampers Anonymous Christmastime 2 stamp setContinue reading “Winter Wonderland”
Golden Greetings
Hello everyone! I have a simple card for you today, using the beautiful Tim Holtz Engraved embossing folder. This is a nice card for mass producing if you have a lot of recipients that actually looks prettier in person. The gold really doesn’t show well in photographs. Materials: Buttercream or Ivory card stock Gold cardContinue reading “Golden Greetings”
Retro Christmas
It has been a super busy month! We finally got our card kits packed up and mailed so I can start sharing some of what I’ve been doing the last few weeks. This side-step card uses quite a few die cuts, but if you are patient and give your arm a break every once inContinue reading “Retro Christmas”
