Goopy Birthday
First let me say that the colors on the cake aren't perfect in this picture. IRL there is more differentiation between the drippy/goopy frosting on the cake and the lower frosting. However, my photography skills weren't up to capturing the slight color differences. I...
Christmas Wishes for you
This was the more complicated project that the South Burlington stamp club made at the last gathering. I was a little worried about doing more Christmas, but they were actually relieved to have one more card in their stash for last minute sending. Thank goodness! I...
Quick Stocking Stuffer
The Essex Stamp Club group made these treat holders at their meeting a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to showcase something quick and easy that they could reproduce for stocking stuffers or small gifts for co-workers/friends. The secret sauce to these holders is that...
Pretty Gift Card Holder
We created this super-quick gift card holder at the South Burlington stamp club meeting on Wednesday. This particular gift card holder uses lots of Designer Series Paper (DSP) patterns, which is helpful in making a dent in your stash. This also means that it goes...
Quick Christmas
I admit that I found myself in a bind in terms of Christmas cards this year. Typically I make cards throughout the year so that I have a good supply when the Holiday season comes around. This year I wasn't as diligent and I found myself a fair amount shy of the number...
Bright, Bold Birthday
I made 32 of these cards in varying color combinations for the birthday card ministry at our church. I think the recipients will enjoy getting one of these cards - and I know that I liked making them. I had lots of fun busting out some nice bright colors while making...
Deer Noel
This is the third (and final) card that I designed for the class that didn't happen. I have to say that I think that the Cable Knit embossing folder is a perfect companion to the patterns and colors of the Festive Farmhouse suite. I actually think that this was the...
Joyful Deer
I consider this a CAS (Clean and Simple) card because there is a fair amount of "white space" on this card. In this instance, it isn't really "white" but rather a sizeable portion of light wood-grain patterned paper. However, the added elements of the woodcut word,...
Good Things in Life
It's time for a slight break from Christmas. Yesterday I attended a Holiday demonstrator get-together hosted by my friend Michelle. We all made a 3-D gift that we gave to everyone and we created a make-n-take project that all the guests could create. Michelle asked...
Elegant Poinsettia
I designed this card for the Essex stamp club crew. I wanted to take an opportunity to show these amazing coordinating dies and stamps while they are still available. We just had our meeting, and the ladies worked like champs creating this card. One gal swapped the...
