I spent almost all of yesterday working on a set of cards for my March Card Kit to Go that will feature the In Bloom Stamp set and Pierced Blooms Dies.

6” x 6” One Sheet Wonder with Berry Blessings
What is it about trying to get as many cards as possible out of a single piece of Designer Series Paper? Is it the challenge of “Can I do it?” Is it because it is a test of our creativity? Is it because we want to get as much as we can for our money?… Continue reading 6” x 6” One Sheet Wonder with Berry Blessings
Berry Blessings – Two cards!
This past week, I shared with my group of stampers and on my Facebook Page a fun way to make two cards....two different card designs using one piece of 6” x 6” piece of Designer Series Paper. It’s a little bit of a mystery card - I gave a list of supplies and then we… Continue reading Berry Blessings – Two cards!
Challenging Myself with the Berry Blessings Bundle
In my last post I shared several of the cards that my group of stampers made in response to a Card Challenge. You can see that post here: Sharing a Card Challenge.

A Burst of Color with Pigment Sprinkles
Working with Pigment Sprinkles is, in a word....fun! Sprinkling a little on a piece of Watercolor paper spritzed with water is like watching fireworks. Every little shake gives you a burst of color. The result is amazing....and is so quick and easy. The longest part is waiting for the paper to dry so you can finish your… Continue reading A Burst of Color with Pigment Sprinkles
