I had made a dog card. A simple note of "hello."   But then my customers let the CATS OUT! I have received a number of custom card requests for cat lovers. The first two cards use stickers to represent the recipient's cats. Of course it's hard to cat the exact markings, but I heard […]

Another great idea shared on the internet. The pop up "flower pot" card can be used in so many ways. Use it as a flower pot . . . or not! I'm celebrating Halloween with this design. I created my own pattern with my Pazzles software. Love the versatility of my Paz! I also created […]

Feeling a little down with all that's going on in the world? I have just what the doctor ordered!! I have repurposed these orange prescription bottles for Halloween! There are many ways that you can "adorn" the faces: sharpie, duct tape, paint . . . I went with adhesive vinyl and cut it with my […]

Let's have one last romp on the beach! I received a custom order for two little boys who both love the beach. Mama Bear says, "The ocean provides a sense of calm for my boys--even just a picture." She wants her boys to set the cards on their bed stands. This gave me the notion […]

Whoot! Whoot! I'm so excited that this worked out! I created my own triple swing card pattern with my Pazzles InVue software. (No need to spend money and shelf space on metal dies when you have the mighty Pazzles at your disposal!) It took a little thinking on my part, but it is great exercise […]

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 […]
