Making Simple and Beautiful Handmade Cards needs to be seen through the eye of the receiver. First, it’s a beautiful card. Then, it’s a beautiful note inside that I’ve been calling Keepsakes of Kindness. We’ve all gone through losses and received the cards and letters and text and emails, but which ones do you keep? Which…
I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, making plans for what I would be doing now that we’ve moved to Sun City Texas. If you follow me on Pinterest you already know that I have some interests that aren’t just paper crafting. In fact, I have a hard time just paper crafting if…
At the end of October, I created a set of cards from Falling for Leaves for a CAS card (Clean and Simple). Three cards and envelopes in each bag made several people happy to win a Door Prize!

I love to Make a Simple Card, and this one is ready to be used for just about any occasion by simply adding a sentiment to it at the time I mail it. The background is stamped in Flirty Flamingo. The two layers were cut from Wild Wasabi and Thick Whisper White card stocks. The…
Today, I have to tell you that Using The Right Adhesive is a really big deal. Aren’t I big tease, not showing you the card of this series yet? Well, I need to get some Teaching Time in before you get all excited about the card and start asking the same questions that everyone will…
I like using a Background Stamp instead of another layer of paper. In my last post here I also showed you how fun it is to cover the envelope flap with some “hint” of what’s inside your envelope!
