Sometimes easy is what it takes.

I have done advanced cards, tutorials, classes, and more.  But sometimes keeping it simple is what it is all about.  Sometimes the card just needs to get in the mail.  Don’t always do a fancy fold.  Sometimes it’s the handwritten portion that someone will treasure.  So today I am encouraging you to keep a kitContinue reading “Sometimes easy is what it takes.”

Playing to lighten up life.

Do you remember as a little kid when that one crazy uncle would “steal” your nose?  I had an uncle that stole my nose and my ear.  It made me laugh every time. So what do you do to lighten up?  Life can get so serious.  What do you do to laugh? Laughter has beenContinue reading “Playing to lighten up life.”

Tags can be cards.

Sometimes a tag can make an entire card.  Lots of Labels is used here to create this project.  Here’s how…  Cut 3 green dies. Cut 1 white one. Cut 1 patterned paper one.  Petal Palette is used in the sample. This is the back.  To finish glue the patterned piece and a center accent.  TheContinue reading “Tags can be cards.”
