Before I started out to make these cards, I hadn't realized the Tree Builder Punch Is So CUTE! The clouds are from Swirly Bird stamp set. The grassy hill is from Sheltering Tree stamp set. I used my computer to create the sentiment that got punched out because …. can you believe it ….. I…
I wanted to do a special set of cards for the ladies in my swap group, so I made Touches of Texture From The Garden. When the temperatures outside "feels like 106" I had no trouble at all finding time to sit and snip out the floral images from the Touches of Texture stamp set. …

I want to share a Happy Father's Day card idea today based on the last one I made before Big Pete died. In a way, this makes me sad, but in other ways, it makes me happy because I had the chance to tell him how much I loved and admired him. He always got…
I like the way these gift bags make really quick and easy treat gift bags. You can slip a not in one side and in the fold that remains, insert gift cards, or chocolates! The belly bands around these bags are 2" wide. Wrap around to the back and staple loosely so there's room left…
