Since I resigned from Stampin’ Up! I have organized and cleaned my Nook in between doing loads of laundry. DistINKtive stamp sets are still my very favorite kind of stamps, and they are the most efficient for my Wednesday session of stamping for the Kitchen Table Ministry. I’m thrilled to have found so many in…
In my book, 4 Cards in 30 Minutes, the photos show all the measurements in card base plus stamped panel. There was a purpose for that and what I wanted to teach you was recognition of the measurements to instantly know you could create four of those cards in 30 minutes AND save your cardstock!…

Barbara came to me wanting to create her own stationery. She wanted the recipients to know right away they were getting a message of love from her before they looked for a return address or a signature. Just like sheets of paper with your monogram, your cards can say right away that it is from…
Texas Bluebonnets are popping up in the garden even before the ground is warm enough to support them, so why not get your package of Note Cards out and stamp along with me? I stamped a single clump of bluebonnets just to be quick about it, but if you have the time, stamp all the…
Do you have an adorable stamp set but you can’t make it fill the visual? Use my favorite cure: a background stamp! I used my favorite background stamp from Artistically Inked because it is so beautifully distINKtive that it reads as a much lighter ink than the one I use! When you make cards, I…
