I have made a few graduation cards. I created the sentiments in Adobe Illustrator. This first card opens on the back. Inside is an envelope of sorts that the grad pulls open and . . . . you'll see the instructions in the second photo. This card is a shaker card. Fortunately, the graduate receiving […]
Do remember to celebrate your mom this May 10th (in America). In my household, I await to see what that means . . . . I saw a joke online that said: "FYI . . . Dads your kids will NOT be bringing home handmade cards and gifts from school this year. You have 14 […]
I'm not in to the mermaid craze. But I did have fun making some mermaid cards. These cards use a digi stamp from A Day For Daisies. A simple digi coloring only the stars on the image. They are deep purple to coordinate with the fibers. This little mermaid has a glittery tail. I have […]
Welcome back. I hope you enjoyed yesterday's digi stamp cards. I have more cards with dig stamps to share today. Again, I like to add the layering by printing and cutting multiple copies of the digi. With these cards, I used colored pencils. Again, nothing fancy. Today's digis come from various artists and I will […]
We are greeting Spring in Minnesota. The temps have been lovely and we are seeing a lot of sun this past week. I've seen robins, I'm hearing & seeing cardinals and baby squirrels, and plants are growing around the edge of the house! Yipee! I've made a group of note cards. Most of them are […]

The algae grows radially outward and […]

In May I purchased Queen & Co's Birthday Squares Bundles shaker card set. I have been playing with the set. You can have a lot of fun with these. First I'll share my finished cards. Then, if you are interested in the quality of the product, read on for a walk though of the "deficiencies." […]
Ok. I got this for the most part. Time to design my own creation! My first step was to create an image to foil. That is too easy with Pazzles. I changed the line type to draw. Foiling with Pazzles is the same as drawing. I drew a few circles, a flower and added a […]
Today's cards are absolutely stunning! Today I am quilling with multiple colors on a colored cardstock. I have chosen two beautiful images from Printable Cuttables Creations. The first image is actually a cut file. Using Pazzles software, I eliminated the fill in the image and changed the line style to draw. This image works perfectly […]
