There is nothing like having everything all nice and neat. Everything in it’s place...neat and tidy. Well, let me just tell you that it’s not happening right now in my little craft corner of the world. My desk is littered with bits and pieces of the card I’m sharing with you now, plus I have… Continue reading All Squared Away….It’s in Progress.

Let’s Be Insprired by……Inspiring Iris
It’s easy to overlook stamp sets in the Annual Catalog....especially when a smaller Mini Catalog come out a month of two after the Annual Catalog launch with even more fun stamp sets to play with and if it's a set that carried over from a previous year, sometimes they don't get a second look. Today… Continue reading Let’s Be Insprired by……Inspiring Iris
Dutch Fold Slider Card
If you’ve been following me for a bit (or if you are new to reading my blog), you might not be surprised that I am sharing another Fun Fold Card. I love to make cards that are a little different or have a different way of folding. And well, if it has moving parts, that’s… Continue reading Dutch Fold Slider Card
Party Puffin Monday
It’s always fun to start off the week with a bright and cheery card. I think it helps to set the mood for the entire week. So let’s get the party started! The stamp set I used is called Party Puffins and is one of the new stamp sets that is in the New 2021-2022… Continue reading Party Puffin Monday
Sweet Ice Cream – Double Z Fold Alternative
I'm not really sure what to call the special fold on this card....except to say it is a FUN fold! It's similar to a Double Z fold (like in this post: Snail Mail Fun Fold) but the "extra Z" is not as wide and big and in the middle like in that post....it's skinny and along… Continue reading Sweet Ice Cream – Double Z Fold Alternative
Fine Art Floral Fun Fold
This is actually a re-make of a card that I made in 2019 when I was visiting my daughter in Seoul, South Korea. I had packed a few stamping supplies so I could stamp on the long 17 hour flight, I didn’t end up doing that....those seat trays are tiny! But I did make quite… Continue reading Fine Art Floral Fun Fold
Pierced Blooms Twisted Easel Card
As I write this I am sitting in my craft room and listening to hits from the 60’s and what should come up but Chubby Checker’s “The Twist”. You can listen to it here: Chubby Checker’s The Twist. I am taking it as good omen that I just happened to be writing my this post… Continue reading Pierced Blooms Twisted Easel Card
Paper Bloom – Stamps, Ink, Paper
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. I made a mess of my workspace (as always when I am crafting). And of course I always have scraps of paper leftover,… Continue reading Paper Bloom – Stamps, Ink, Paper
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!
