Gosh, this was weeks ago, but here is one of the Note Cards I forgot to show you for Thanksgiving! I was so busy make sets of these cuties that I took pictures and then forgot to get them up here on the blog. Fully retired, but maybe you have it? First Frost was a…
On the 25th of every month I am making an entire package of Note Cards. For several reasons, actually, but not the least is the joy of rubber stamp art! 20 cards will be gone before the end of the month, all with pretty postage, stamped art on the envelopes, and into mailboxes all over…
I see it every time I make an A2 Clean and Simple (CAS) card, and ask myself, “can this be made even more cute on a Note Card? In my last post of an A2 card, Clean and Simple, and using Nature’s Prints stamp set, I left it laying out on the work table to…
I wrestled with this stamp set, even though Nature’s Prints is a distINKtive design. Turns out the color combinations are only the beginning — For me, it’s important that the saturation of the colors need to be in the same range. Take a look: I thought about my first few attempts where I was using…
Most A2 cards are made with layers, according to the Pinterest world. When you go searching, you can find layers made with card stock, Designer Series Papers, and dry embossed layers.

At the start of 2023, I began dedicating some of my teaching time to my Dandelion Society card makers. Last…
Even with eggs as expensive as they are right now, I went shopping for a Meal Prep that will fill the house with fragrance and a couple of meals. I’ve made good friend with the butcher, and baker, both at HEB and Randall’s because I’m cooking for one unless I’m doing a Meal Prep like…
While I was making the Soft Seafoam cards with layers in THIS POST, I took out several Note Cards and Envelopes. When I make Note Cards, it is almost always without any layers. I’ve done layers on a Note Card, but I just prefer SIP (stamps, ink, paper). There’s something adorable about Note Cards. They…
In the spirit of making some beautiful cards quickly, have you tried two-step stamping? Two-step stamping is done with a stamp set with line drawn images, and then a solid image to stamp the color into place. In this instance, it happens to be a distINKtive stamp, and you know how I love THAT! Take…
