My crafting has been revolutionized by Background Stamping Using a Stamp Positioning Tool! You can see right away that a background stamp barely covers a card stock panel 4″ x 5-1/4″, so this is the number one reason to use a stamp positioning tool of any brand. I’m using the Stampin’ Up! Stamparatus here and…
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…

Building, now, on the cards that we were making last week, I want to cover Adding Embossing to a Clean Card. I posted these in our Facebook private group, and then asked on Instagram, which do you prefer? This Layered Leaves embossing got a few votes but was a resounding “NO” in most cases. 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.
