You know that I love a good gift card holder – the more creative, the better. If you are running towards the end of the week and need to make your gift receivers squeal with delight when they open that gift card – check out some of these designs from the past year: Phew! That’s…
With Christmas being less than a week away, I can imagine that some of you (definitely not me – I’m just guessing here) are running around, buying last minute gifts and trying to get the wrapping done. Here’s a quick tag we made at an event I held this past weekend. I named the gathering…
I thought I’d jump back to my favorite black, white, and gray color scheme for a card. I’ve been knee deep in Shaded Spruce, Real Red, and Garden Green for my Christmas crafting – I needed a break. This thank you card uses ink but no stamps – just an embossing folder. I saw a…
I saw this adorable gift card holder and had to give it a try – what do you think? Super cute. I saw this from another paper-crafter, Tanu – her video is here. I made one, too – my measurements are in inches if that is more helpful. To make this project, you’ll need the…

This design is based on something I found on Pinterest (don’t you love Pinterest?). A…
I was lucky to have been a vendor at a wonderful craft fair hosted by St. Frances Cabrini Church over Thanksgiving weekend. There was something for everyone there. I had a great corner spot and was able to share my absolute love for paper crafting with those who passed my tables. I thought this week…
Here’s a quick and simple card to get us started this Monday after a long weekend (I know it was sure long for me…) This is a basic sketch that you can change in multiple ways to suit your needs. I like this type of sketch -you can make it masculine, feminine, or neutral. Here…
I really don’t know where November went! I know as we get older, time seems to move faster – and kids definitely hit fast forward on that – but wow! I blinked and it’s almost December. I am sorry that I have been a little MIA – after returning from an exciting OnStage weekend in…
