I hope everyone is happy that the weekend is coming up. I have had fun this week playing with the #thedailymarker30day challenge that Kathy Racoosin organizes. Hopefully I will be able to keep up. It certainly does spark ones creativity. So today’s card is my Day 6 of this challenge. I didn’t use that much …
Good afternoon!! Today I am sharing this beautiful stamp and die set. I am also featuring a cover plate that is so versatile. This Tropical Flowers Slim Line stamp is fabulous. While it is made for slim line cards you can easily use it for all card formats! I cut the Trellis Cover Plate and …
I just received some of the new release stamps from Gina K Design. Fresh Flower and It’s All You (this is an incentive set if you spend $75) stamp sets are easily combined. It was an easy card to make. The card base was stenciled with a pale grey ink. I used a few of …
I have had this gel print in my stash for some time. I just got these new Gina K stamps and dies and I think it was the perfect combo. I will also be entering this in the Global Design Challenge This is a mini slimline card. The gel print was cut into 1/2” strips …
So this card was fairly easy. The hardest bit was the letters but it was fun!! I used the Simon Says Stamp Geometric Box Builder for the squares and die cut two colors of paper. The background was a stencil from Hero Arts. I used the Double Cut Alpha dies from Concord & 9th. The …
The new Distress Oxide color, Prized Ribbon, is a winner. When I first heard the new ink was in the blue family I was a bit disappointed. I am a bit of a purple girl. Well, let me tell you this blue doesn’t disappoint! The background was embossed withSizzix Tim Holtz Crackle 3D folder. The …
Let’s face it we all have oodles of it so why not use it. Today I would like to carry on from the other days blog featuring the Concord & 9th All For You die set. This die set covers just about every occasion I can think of so I am going to show you …
A long long time ago I spent hours in a store called Archivers sorting through patterned papers that I NEEDED! Fast forward to today and I still have most of these papers. So today I pulled out one of my favorites and combined it with Concord & 9th All for You dies. I die cut …
I have to say that the Snarky Cat stamps I purchased last fall have been one of my favorites this past year. So when I was woken at 3:30am by my somewhat cat-like, Shih Tzu it was what I grabbed. Let’s say I was feeling a bit snarky….. The background of this card was created …
Good Morning! If you haven’t seen any videos from Daniel West, @delandarti, or his YouTube it is definitely worth a visit. He truly breaks down coloring in easy steps. He recently did a guest appearance on the free Card Maker’s Success Summit and it was awesome. He talks about storybook coloring with alcohol markers. If …
AAA Cards always have great challenges. But a “twinchie”? What the heck is that. It’s this weeks challenge and it simply means that all design elements fit in a two inch space. Everything else is white. Sound fun? Will join the challenge. This two inch space has stenciling, a few stamps from Concord & 9th, …
Sometimes I just don’t feel like getting “inky”. Okay, it’s not that oft n but it does happen. Today I am using dies from multiple Concord & 9th sets. I just needed a quick birthday card and this did the trick. Thanks for taking a peek and I hope your day is amazing!!

Let’s face it there are certain inks that we are drawn to as crafters. For me it is shades of teal and purple. So while watching a Gina K live Stamp and Chat I thought to my self “Greys?” Well it turns out (as it always does with Gina’s cards) that grey makes for beautiful …
Yellow and grey are two colors that I have to admit I don’t use frequently. So with a challenge from Gina K Design’s Facebook Page I decided to use try them. It is interesting that these two colors are the Pantone Colors of 2021. Who knew? The background was made after watching a video from …
We have been busy lately with some visitors. We have been able to visit Zion National Park and also spent a day in Sedona. So card making was a bit on the back burner. So today’s card is a simple one. It’s a one layer card with a few blingy bits. The stamp is one …
A few weeks ago I was participating in Craft Roulette with Mary Gunn. It’s a great event that takes place every Friday evening. There is always a guest crafter and the wheel is spun four times to select color, type, theme and element for a card. Then Mary and the guest make their cards. You …
I am so so so trying to use up my colored and patterned paper…it’s HARD! However, on the plus side I have not bought any new paper in 8 months so that’s great. This card uses the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit. As promised, I will be using this for the next few posts. …

This past week I took a collage class from Jennifer Chamberlain at the Maker Beehive. It was incredibly inexpensive and worth every penny. The class was called Tiny Tattered Houses.

You are right…..this isn’t a card. However when my mom said she wanted a little wreath for the door of their apartment I thought to myself I can do that. So staying true to my Destash Challenge I combined an old wreath form, some ribbon and twine along with a clothespin and combined it with …

Let’s face it all of us has a drawer or folder FULL of those 1/4” pieces of paper we will use one day. Am I right? Well, today I got into that folder used up some scraps and participated in AAA Cards Clean & Simple Challenge CAS Game #187 These challenges are a lot of …
Do you ever get those stamps that you just can’t figure out what to do with. I know winter is almost over in most parts of the country and figured it was about time I used the Sweater and Cocoa stamp from Gina K Designs. So on Friday nights edition of Craft Roulette Challenge (check …

Organizing my craft room I found this wonderful stamp set designed by Deepti Malik and Stamplorations. I won the set from her months ago and like a lot of craft supplies I put it in a drawer and forgot about it. Well thank goodness for spring cleaning. It’s a beautiful inspirational stamp. Deepti is a …
I never thought I was a paper crafter that liked the cutesy little animal stamps. My kids are grown, I have no grandkids so never really need them. However, I do card drives and other people love these cute lil creatures. So I have used this adorable little freebie I won from the Colorado Craft …

Although this is only day 16 of my personal challenge I have not purchased any new stamps since the end of December. That’s quite an accomplishment for me. Today’s card features some Beautiful Butterflies by Gina K Designs, some ink and a few sequins. Pretty simple. I placed the die cuts along the the edge …
I recently reorganized my space a bit and got my scrap pieces of paper places in plastic envelopes. I have placed the new bin right next to my die cutting machine. My intention is to use scraps as much as possible and today it worked. This card has no stamping on it. Just an embossing …
One thing I have realized during this personal challenge is I do not like sequins 🙄. I think it’s the hole in the middle…it just seems like an unfinished embellishment. If you make shaker boxes they are great but I am not a shaker maker. Except for today. Once again I was inspired by the …

This challenge is a personal challenge. I am simply trying to use what I have. I don’t have a lot of sympathy sentiments but thought this would work. It also works for the Color Hue Challenge.

Alright alright I didn’t use much ribbon but give a girl a break! I am making a concerted effort to use what I have 😉. Today I am using a Gina K Designs stamp that is one of my favorites. It is so versatile. This card started out as a Sunday Sketch Challenge but I …
Good Afternoon! I hope you all are crafting away. I have been busy reorganizing my “she-shed/craft room. Doesn’t it feel great when you get things organized and clean up? I got all my 12 x 12 paper cut down to 8.5 x 11 because that is what I use. I created a storage system for …

In case you don’t know one of my goals this year is to use what I have. It is TOUGH not to buy new stamps or dies. Today I really really wanted a bunny die. But I buckled down opened up my Silhouette software and created something resembling a Peep. My mom loves Peeps and …
Do you have those certain stamps that you will probably never get rid of? How about embossing folders? These are two of my favorites. The little bear is from a retired Stampin Up baby set and the the paisley folder is an old Cuttlebug folder. When I saw the AAA Inchie Challenge this week I …

I don’t want to discourage you from purchasing them. The point of the challenge is to encourage you to use these supplies. This card …
Sequins and patterned paper are plentiful in my craft room. I think during the next 90 some days these two supplies will get used quite a bit. Sequins are a supply I have tons of so I see shaker cards in the future. This card was created with a Gina K Design stencil and a …
The last two Fridays I have taken part in a Facebook live group called Craft Roulette Challenge. It is a lot of fun. It is a Mary Gunn production and each week she features a guest crafter, many of which have quite large followings. There are four categories which are project, colors, elements and “random”. …
For some reason the background in this card reminds me of an animal print. The background was stenciled with an Elizabeth St Hilaire pattern from https://www.joggles.com/stencils/joggles-elizabeth-st-hilaire-stencils-and-masks I used Distress Oxide in Black Soot. The hearts were cut out on my Silhouette Cameo in mirror paper and plain white card stock. The white paper was embossed …
