Hi, crafty friends. I have a slimline card to share today using the June card kit from Simon Says Stamp… I started by die-cutting the Slimline Scallop die from the kit’s rainbow holographic paper. I used the kit’s stamp and mini inks to stamp the rays of the rainbow. I stamped and cut out two of the cloud images and adhered them on either side of the rainbow. I stamped a heart image on...
Hi again, crafty friends. Recently I shared some simple sympathy cards that my friend and I created for a Ronald McDonald House over on my Instagram stories and I got a lot of questions about them, so I thought I’d share more about them here… First, I have to say a big thank you to my sweet friend Jana Millen for helping me. It was a fun crafty day and made mass producing the...
Hi, crafty friends. I’m back with more cards for crafty friends after such a great response from THIS previous post… For all three cards, I started by adhering THIS watercolor card stock on top of THESE top folded cards.

I picked them up with the door of the Misti and inked them with a few Hero Arts Bold Mini ink cubes. The colors I used were Rose Madder, Tangerine, Dandelion, Green...
Hello and welcome. Today’s cards show a quick way to add color to a background… I stamped three robots from THIS adorable set repeatedly on a piece of Neenah White Cardstock using THIS ink to create a background. After debating what kind of medium to use to color all the robots, I decided to use mini ink cubes for super quick coloring. Since the images are playful, I thought the “artsy” look that the...
I love to organize. I like everything to have a home and a label on it. So today I thought I’d show you how I store my mini ink pads. I recently found THIS container at Hobby Lobby and although it’s intended to hold stamps, I thought it might be a good home for all the mini inks I’ve been hoarding, I mean collecting. Let me start by giving you the details on this container....
