Flowers and a Flower Pot

Above: I bought a new punch and LOVE the border it creates!

Above: This one has a message card. Pulling the ribbon reveals the message.

Above: I love using pastel chalks to color white flowers...

Pulling the flowers out of the pot reveals the message. You can just see the bottom of the message card poking out from the bottom of the pot. This card doesn't open.

Weekend cards...Thinking of Valentine's Day

Chalk Technique - Download image, print on pearl card stock, use your chalk applicators (i.e. eyeshadow sponges) to apply the chalk and Bingo - Pink with Dark Pink Outline.

 Note the glitter on the wings on this card...this paper was just too pretty to pass up!

Valentine's Day Cards


I had these bows leftover from who-knows-what...I've had them for years! I thought they worked out well as embellishments on these cards :). The flower and the heart are embossed with fine silver embossing powder. I used dimensionals to give them a "lift" off the paper.

Purple Waterfall Card

I bought this paper because it was so colorful, yet tasteful and elegant. I love making these waterfall cards because they are so easy to make and a lot of fun to "flip"!

How to make Flower Magnets


You'll need some glue and a quilling tool can be helpful, but not necessary.

Time off and time to Get Crafty!

Joy Card

I borrowed this design (to a degree) from a YouTube video. They used silver and grey and stamped their own images on the background.

 I've got the Christmas Bug!!

Blue Happry Birthday Card

I forgot to glue down the punched border until after I took the photo - oops!

Latest Cards: Birthday, Christmas

I love the gold embossing powder, but it can be very temperamental...it sticks to everything!
