Hi there. Thanks so much for joining me. Today I wanted to share how I created these quick and easy bookmarks using THIS and THIS new die from Simon Says Stamp’s newest release… I die-cut the fox die from THIS Burnt Orange Cardstock, THIS Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock, and THIS Black Cardstock. I die-cut the Bear from the same Neenah cardstock, Black cardstock, and THIS Dark Chocolate Cardstock. I used a variety of Distress ink...
Hello there and welcome. I’m honored to be taking part in the Hero Arts Blog Hop celebrating their Summer Catalog. If you haven’t checked out the Summer Catalog yet, you can click HERE and check it out.

Hello. Thanks for joining me today. I love using foil on my projects, but I don’t always have the time to get out my Minc machine and coordinating products to get the job done. When I’m feeling lazy, I get out my dry adhesive to easily add foiled accents… I created this card for a friend of mine’s daughter (who loves Batgirl) and wanted to add some pizazz around the super hero image. I...
Hi there. Today’s cards features artwork created by my five year old son…. Aiden has some delay when it comes to his fine motor skills, so he is all about drawing rainbows lately. I think it’s because it’s a simple shape he can create without getting frustrated. I LOVE his artwork and have it displayed on the fridge and in his scrapbooks, but I have lots of leftover treasures that I transformed into cards....
Hi there. I’m back today sharing a card I created with THIS April Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp… I used the four mini ink cubes from the kit and swiped each across a piece of white cardstock to create a quick background. I stamped the tiny hearts image from the stamp set included in the kit on to the stripes of color using the same ink, but tripled stamped it with my MISTI....
Hi. I’m thrilled to be part of Simon Says Stamp’s Blog Hop today to celebrate their newest release. My favorite stamp set from the collection is THIS one. It’s so playful and fun! I like making interactive cards and I thought this set would be perfect to make a simple version… I stamped all of the images together using my MISTI and colored them with Copic Markers. I used THESE coordinating dies to...

Hello there. Today’s project shares how to create simple handmade valentines…. I started with a few sheets of THIS watercolor cardstock. I applied several different colors of distress ink on to a piece of acetate (I used a piece of recycled packaging). I spritzed with water and smooshed the ink on to the cardstock. To get intense color on the first application, I used the acetate like a squeegee and pulled the color across...

Hello. Some of you may know that I’m a big advocate of crafting with kids. My niece crafts with me a lot and I do a feature here on my blog called, “Taylor’s Take” showcasing her work. (You can find more about that HERE.) I recently sat down with my four year old son to do a bit of crafting and he helped me make these cards… I was creating THIS card and had...
