Hello Everyone!

We have finished our turkey and have now gotten through Thanksgiving!  

Now it is time to start our Christmas shopping, planning, including our card making!  So what a better time to start my 2018 Christmas Series, right?!?  LOL

Well let's get started then,,,  first up we need to focus on the basics...  There are so many techniques and gadgets out there, sometimes it is just overwhelming...  The only items you need to create beautiful cards are pattern paper, scissors, a pen, a ruler and the mist important item...  your imagination!

By just using a paper pad from your local craft store you can create many cards in one shot...  Most paper pads have a couple of sentiment pages which is perfect if you did not want to invest in stamps!

Even if they do not have those pages you can certainly write you sentiment yourself!  Just grab a pen and go to town!  If you think you do not have nice handwriting, just go slowly when you write and you will be surprise!

Have your curiosity!  Just click on the video below to see all the crafty details!

Backgrounds can be anything you make them...  Whether they are single or doubled layered, torn or shredded or even woven together - a background can come of it...

Hello Everyone!

​Simplicity – using basic supplies we all have in our stash and even just in our home!

We are only using the paper pad of our choice, scissors, ruler, and a pencil…  I’ll even show how you can use a simple craft knife if you are not comfortable with cutting with scissors.

Our focus here is to use what is in our stash of pattern paper and VERY minimal supplies...  and using only these items we can still create beautiful cards to be treasured!

​In the below video I will be showing how we can create cards with texture, but no stamps or embossing folders! I know still crazy, but it can be done…

Hello Everyone!

Episode 2 in my Simplicity in Card Making Series!

Today let's look at how we can use our paper pads to create our own interactive card!  Whether it is a 6 x 6 or a 12 x 12 paper pad, they most likely include a focal point page where it is a saying or even a scene...  Why not turn those pages into a puzzle!

Your puzzle can be packaged up and placed inside your card so your recipient can create your sentiment!  Watch the video below to see just how easy it is to create another beautiful card just using your paper pad and basic supplies!

Hello Everyone!

Sorry I have been away for awhile, but as we all know life tends to get in the way of what we enjoy sometimes!  But all is better and I am hopefully back on a normal schedule!

Anywho, I have decided to start a series called 'Simplicity in Card Making'... In this series I will go over how to use up that stack of pattern paper we have all horded over the years.  ...and yes this includes both the 6 x 6 and the 12 x 12 papers!

This is the first, in what I hope to be MANY more videos!
