Crazy About You Stamp Set: a Card to Encourage You

CHALLEGE:  I have often been asked to create cards for “encouragement.”  That could mean a lot of things.  Did someone lose a job?  Is someone feeling blue?  Is someone undergoing a health crisis?  Just exactly what does a card for “encouragement” mean?  What life event does the card need to cover? SOLUTION:  […]

Get Well Soon Card Idea Using Balloon Framelits Dies

CHALLENGE:  I have been creating greeting cards for thirteen years, and it is still difficult for me to design Get Well cards.  I always like to have cards on-hand when I need them, which means I like to create cards ahead-of-time instead of waiting for the occasion to arrive.  If I wait, […]

Help! I Ran Out of Sequins!

  Remember when I mentioned HERE that when I make cards, I make a least 24 of each design?  Well, sometimes that is a little problematic.  It’s even more of a catastrophe when it’s ten o’clock on a Saturday night and I run out of supplies.  See those three little […]
