In my blog post today, I want to talk about Lindsey’s lesson on How to Make a Beautiful Handwritten Note inside our Card Ministry cards. Lindsey’s website is “The Postman’s Knock” and is all about handwriting, beautiful handwriting, and specifically calligraphy. She’s actually the largest website in the world teaching calligraphy! I have been a…
I think I’ve mentioned in the past that much of what we stamp onto a card panel easily translates into a Note Card, so let’s take the Christmas card we made last month and turn it into a Gift Card Holder. You can see the A2 card IN THIS POST HERE. I have never recommended…

The first card here is one that uses an embossed layer, a piece of Designer Series Paper, and the stamped focal piece. DistINKtive Stamp Sets are simply inked and stamped directly to paper. There are no shading tools…
Save time and money, and still get beautiful cards? Yes! The whole key to this is in the stamp sets you choose to use. Don’t let the task of coloring images be your hold-back from making beautiful cards. You don’t have to color, and I’m going to show you what else you can do to…
