Fringed Felt Flower

Another great video from the creative genius Julie Ebersole.  It only takes a few supplies to make this adorable flower using felt from A Muse Studio.  Enjoy!

Isn't this adorable?!  

Have a great day!

Tweet-Heart

The new Holiday catalog is out!  And I absolutely love this new set!  

It is called "Tweet-Heart", and what I love about it, is that even though it is a Valentine's Day stamp set, it works so well for everyday cards too.  I mean, we should show our love every day...not just on Valentine's Day right?  This card was so easy to make too.  


Gotta love that!   

Have a lovely day!

Reverse Masking

Julie Ebersole created this video to demonstrate another fun technique.  Enjoy!

Washi tape fun...

Washi tape is my new obsession.  I never tire of creating cards with it.
Today I made another...  

With this card, I just randomly placed the various washi tape designs over the cardstock. Then I stamped my images, punched them out and used sponge daubers dabbed in ink to highlight the edges.

And ta-da!  All done!  Another simple card!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a terrific day!

For the birds...

I don't know about you, but right now in Phoenix we have a ton of birds on our lawn.  And I hear them chirping on a daily basis.

That is what inspired me for this card. 

I purchased some fabric washi tape a few months ago, and I wanted to put it within one of my card creations.  I have never used anything quite like it before.  It is tape, but it is fabric at the same time.  And the colors are simply gorgeous!

In this card I stamped my image and colored it with my trusty copic markers.  In addition, I colored a paper flower red using my copic marker, and added it to the corner with a small pearl sticker.
Thanks so much for visiting!  Have a great day!
