Welcome to the April Stamping Sunday Blog Hop. This month, our theme is Technique Triumphs. I love techniques, so it was actually hard to pick just one! You know I love watercoloring, so I thought I’d focus on some non-traditional ways to add watercoloring to your projects. My card features the Paper Florist and Gorgeously Made Dies. Both are big favorites and they’re retiring at the end of this month,… Read More »
For this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday, we are focusing on techniques!

It’s a great way to create a “wow” card without a lot of effort. (I’ll explain how.) My card features the Textured Floral Stamp Set and coordinating dies, one of my favorite bundles. To see… Read More »

Happy March and welcome to a new TGIF Color Challenge! This month, our color combination includes Magenta Madness, Soft Suede, and Bumblebee. I have to be honest, when I first saw this color combination, I wasn’t thrilled. It’s definitely not one I would have selected on my own.
