Completely fun and silly, and I just had to show you How To Make Chicken Cards using the Home to Roost stamp set and the Hexagonal embossing folder! I got the card layout idea from Meg Daves and then changed everything: embossing folder, stamp set, colors, trim and just had to add a galvanized button….
Next week I want to show you the new Cut-Align tool for trimming your sentiments straight, and safely away from the X-acto knife! This tool from My Sweet Petunia will do more than align your sentiments perfectly, the length of these tools will help you with your 3D projects like tags, boxes, gift bags, too!
I have been working on this Handmade Coffee Card Idea for a number of weeks, long after spotting it made by another card artist last year! Not my usual Clean and Simple card at all, but sometimes this sentiment is exactly what you need. I’m sending a couple of them out as a “Get Well” kind…
There is nothing like starting my morning with 5 Minute Crafting, and the easiest way to do that is to start with a full sized stamp. This is a long-retired stamp called Sweetbriar Rose.

Although, everyone…
Getting healthy this year, I’ve decided that the blah blah blah of “this isn’t a diet, it’s a lifestyle” has got to make sense to me. I am not going to go to the gym every day and zone out on a treadmill. I’m just not! My exercise is coming from gardening and that means…
When you focus on some simple stamping, just plain ink on paper, there is a Subtle Elegance in Handmade Cards. Sometimes the message inside your card is much more important than the card itself, and the outside needs to just be pleasant. I will be showing the ladies in Cardmaking how to add onto the…
Did you know that our Toby came from Cavalier Rescue USA? We absolutely love him and he’s just what my sad heart needed to take away the pain of losing my Katie girl in 1995. She was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel from a breeder in Washington State. I bought Katie and brought her home…
