Beautiful Autumn Leaves

In my last post,  I used the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper and the fact that the paper looks like photographs on one side and on the other side were designs that had touches of copper foil.  It's so much more lifelike in person that what shows here: But if you look closely you… Continue reading Beautiful Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves…Are Falling

It’s October!  Time for me to get back to my blog….and time for the all the leaves to start falling and the endless raking to begin.  In the mountains of Virginia, the trees are turning beautiful colors of red, gold, orange, crimson….etc.  I saw them on a drive last week-end to Blacksburg, Virginia which is… Continue reading Autumn Leaves…Are Falling

Awash in Beauty – How to use the Designer Series Paper

I love getting new Designer Series Paper. New Designs sometimes means finding new ways to use the paper or creating a new sketch for a card design, especially when it's paper like this. The same design is on both the top and bottom edges.  You could just cut it horizontally across the middle, and do… Continue reading Awash in Beauty – How to use the Designer Series Paper

A Fun Fold with Old & New In Colors – Part 1

It’s always an exciting time when a new Annual Catalog comes out because that means, new stamps, new dies, new embossing folders and new In-Colors.  But on the other hand it can be a bit sad as some of the older In-Colors will be retired…in this case the 2020-2022 In-Colors of Magenta Madness, Just Jade,… Continue reading A Fun Fold with Old & New In Colors – Part 1
