Honey Bees and Blooms
Hi Creative Friends, I am sharing a new card design that features some of my very favorites.

Sending Handmade Hugs
Hi Cardmaking Friends, I am sharing another floral card design, this time using Penny Black’s Sending Blooms stamp and die set.

I began with a piece of hot-pressed watercolor paper, a stamp positioner, and the […]

Fluttering By…
Hi Creative Friends, Today I have another Papertrey Ink card design for you. In their last release, there was a myriad of butterflies to choose from.

When this happens, I dive into creating the main subject and hope I’ll have a […]

Violets In Bloom
Hi Creative Friends, I saw a beautiful card with an awesome layout by Elizabeth Price (IG: @seeinginkspots). I have had it in mind for some time now, and finally, I’m going to give it a go.

Hi Creative Friends, I am back with a fresh and sweet card design using the brand-new Into The Blooms: Lemon Blossom die set by Papertrey Ink.

Everything Is Coming Up Roses
