Today’s card project is all about these lovely liquid watercolors from Pinkfresh Studio. I’d been coveting them for a while, so I decided to order some and get started on a simple card project. This card also features one of the very first word dies I created for my line at Simon Says Stamp, Yays. I realized the other day … Read More
Did you know it’s Sweata Weatha?
Please tell me you’ve seen any of the Bronx Beat skits from Saturday Night Live? Yes? No? My friend (and card making master) Laura Bassen just reminded me of these skits and I have fallen down a rabbit hole of watching them. Maya Rudolph and Amy Poehler? National treasures. That is all. But there I go… rambling. Have you seen the … Read More

I thought it would pair well with some of my new releases, and it turns out it DOES! I learned how to create an embossed die cut from watching the master, Jennifer McGuire, and figured I’d … Read More
When Mojo Gets Up and Goes
I’m having a dry spell of creativity. Last weekend, I spent a lovely weekend around amazing, creative women at a retreat in the glorious state of Ohio.

(And it’s on reserve until Oct. 19!) But that Mod Trees Background Stamp (also on reserve until Oct. 20) is also so cool and I can see … Read More
A card for your bestie (simple rainbow watercoloring)
I have a brand new stamp set out (and coordinating dies!) all designed with one thing in mind: to celebrate your bestie! I happen to have two besties (and yes, they are fully aware of each other!), and so I have much to be grateful for because of these remarkable women. This card project gave me a chance to break … Read More

This class is designed to teach you my approach to creating a manageable way to tackle a year-long album project. I like things to be fun and do-able where my crafty life is concerned. No anxiety should be part … Read More
Simple Rainbow Stenciling
Ever since getting my new Life Changing Brushes, I’ve been more inclined to play with ink blending and today’s card features a new stencil from Simon Says Stamp that makes ink blending pretty simple. My card project also features a brand new word and shadow die set from my CZ Design line. Someone (and I cannot for the life of … Read More
