I created this card for the Splitcoast sketch challenge this week. It seemed like an easy challenge – but for some reason I had a hard time with the back layer – so this is what I ended up with.
I used the Peony Digi stamp set for the image. I also used the Herringbone Cuttlebug [...]

I admit – I’m a total pushover for flowers. I buy them everywhere, even the fruit market (they have great deals!). And of course I love to get them as gifts.
I got these two potted begonias at the fruit market and thought I might give them as a little gift to friends for Mother’s day. [...]
We have a few more talented artists to help us tend our little Paper Garden. I’m so excited to introduce our new Paper Gardeners!
(Sorry for the washed out photo – my usual picture spot is full of tomato seedlings!)

I hope you can stand one more Fiesta Flower project.
This is the original idea I had in mind when I saw the stamp. I wanted to use it to make an embellishment for boxes by layering the image. Its very easy, but you have to like cutting things out!
I just embossed Fiesta Flower with Zing white embossing [...]

I use the clear card boxes all the time to hold… well… cards….
But I love the sturdiness of the plastic. Its heavier than typical acetate sheets so I wanted to try using one to create a treat box. This was pretty quick and easy, and ended up pretty sturdy once the base was glued on.
So [...]

I love this cute Mr. And Mrs Claus stamp – and I thought Mr. Claus might like to give Mrs. Claus a little bag of kisses. These mint kisses are really good (had to try one – how can I write an informative post without taste testing?). And I love the little snowflake-y wrappers.

I love candles during the holidays. They do so much to set a more relaxed mood. This is a very quick and easy project to add a Holiday touch to plain tea light candle holders.
For this project, I used heavy weight vellum cover stock. Its much stiffer and heavier than the vellum you might be [...]

Its starting to get a little chilly here (especially in the mornings) – and I’ve had this card in my head ever since I got this wicked cute sleigh ride stamp. So I thought I’d make it up and share a tutorial.
The card front looks like this:
When you pull the slider out of the card [...]
