Clean & Bold

Hi! Today brings yet another great opportunity to show you one of my older designs which I've updated/recycled. Since my machine is waiting for it's replacement handle to arrive, what better way to fill this blog post than with projects I love and that you haven't seen before. Check it out:


This is a window card actually. The contour of the flower is die cut on the card front. The card closes perfectly and when closed one would think the flower is adhered to the card front. I used the ribbon to not only embellish but also to create a stem for the flower. And because this is a CAS card, I finished it with a sentiment. This spanish sentiments say in English: "I Love You a Lot", "Lots of Thanks" and "Happy Anniversary".

Video Tutorial: Quick New Year's Card with Simple Stories & Deco Foil

I'm back with a fun and really easy to make card for the Holidays or the New Year and I have a video tutorial with Therm O Web today. I'm sure we all are rushing at the very last minute looking for tags and cards and wrapping gifts... I know I always am. That is why my latest Holiday projects have been on the quick and easy side so you can try them out if you need to! The usual theme for New Year's cards is usually monochromatic, metallic...
