Treat Boxes

You can make cute little treat boxes using any nested does.  I had watched  a video by Brenda Quintana to make the hexagon box on the left.  After making one myself I figured out how to use my Rectangle Stitched dies to make my own box.  You can find a Facebook Live at Shanda’s Stampin Spot to see how you too can design your own box!

Free As a Bird

I have had these cards using the Free as a Bird set on my desk for ages waiting to be finished.

Patina Technique Revived!

I had featured this Patina Technique once before and had some pieces on my desk and finished them with other pieces on my desk!   Looks very aren’t they!!!

Stitched Nested Label Dies

I did my Facebook Live today featuring the Stitched Nested Label Dies.  I had this card on my desk and finished it with a nested label dies.

Organization in my Craft Room

I got this idea from Tracy Elsom.  This is an 8X8” paper scored at 2” all around.  I didn’t have the flower piece to go in the box so I cut up a pool noodle.   This is a great way to keep all the small pieces organized on a busy craft desk.

Pick Tool Birthday

I chose this stamp set because many of my customers just got  it.   I did a little live on how to use the Pick Tool for picking up rhinestones and twine bows and placing them on cards.  I thought I would show how to make your own background using the flowers on the stamp.   Balmy Blue and Petal Pink make beautiful flowers!

Reverse Masked Golfer

I loved designing this card!  I just sponged with Granny Apple Green on top and Night of Navy on the bottom.  Then you don’t have to do any colouring.   Then I just added the sentiments and voila!

Reverse Masking Technique

Friendship is key these days- and keeping in touch.  I love this reverse masking.  You make a frame and then sponge inside the frame with one or two or three colours.   Then you stamp an image and finish with a sentiment.

Special Fold Cards

I did my Facebook Live today on how to make these special folds.  They use DSP and any stamp set you have!

More DSP Cards

I used my Tailored Tag Punch to cut pieces of Bird Ballad DSP.  For the other card I just cut 1” strips of Magnolia Lane DSP!
I just added a sentiment for a friend and then I used my Free as a Bird stamp set to complete the card on the left!

April Paper Pumpkin

This is April’s Paper Pumpkin kit!   All the pieces and ink, adhesives, etc are included to make 8 cards altogether!

Tribute to Teachers

I was watching Dawn Griffiths do a video on Reverse Masking last night and also read and heard about all the challenges teachers were facing and thought I would use this technique to make a tribute for teachers.   So I made some heart frames and sponged inside them to make these cards.  I did a Facebook Live to show this technique.   I used Roccoco Rose and TeL Red for one card and then made a more male teacher card using Pacific Point and Granny Apple Green.

DSP Balloons

I made this card for a balloon challenge and my own challenge to use my DSP!!!  Country Club DSP in the mini catty!   Perfect for a mans birthday!

More DSP cards

I am going to work for awhile on using DSP.  This is a design By Debra Coughlan and I made it in three colours using the Vellum from Saleabration!!

DSP cards

I did my Facebook Live today on how to use DSP to make a variety of cards!  The card on the left used the Scrappy Strip Technique and the card on the right I cut a piece of DSP by 2” and turned one piece around.   I am trying to use my DSP from Saleabration to the last scrap!!!

Cute bunnies

I embroidered the faces and names with my embroidery machine and my daughter sewed the baskets for my two granddaughters.  

Aren’t they cute!!!

DSP Baskets

These cute baskets are easy to make and will really use up your DSP.   I showed how to make these on a Facebook Live at Shanda’s Stampin Spot.

Hope for Easter

My brain is a little fried at the moment so I just chose different colours and made the same ddesign sign I. These colours!

Hope for Easter

Time for Easter cards!  This sentiment seemed appropriate for the time we are living in.  I used Pear Pizazz and a little Garden Green behind it.  I sponged the cross with Pear Puzazz to give it more dimension!

Poppy Sponging

I did a Facebook Live today on sponging the outer layer of these poppies so that they stand out a bit - a little more dimension than they would have otherwise!   I used Crushed Curry and Terracotta Tile for these cards.  The Label Me Lovely punch and the Layered With Kindness stamp set add a perfect sentiment.

Spring is Coming!!!

I made this card for a Spring challenge for Westcoast Team! You know by now this Peaceful Poppy suite is my favourite and I have used it again!  I thought the DSP in this suite was  very
Lovely!!!

Team cards

This month our team cards were all specialty fold cards!  These were the last three designs - simple folds but very pretty!

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations Shirley!!!

You are the winner of the Ladybug stamp set.  My grandson pulled your name out of the jar.
