Cowboy Quokkas
Using ephemera for cards is quick and easy! I started by tracing around my two quokkas and cutting out some heavy, white cardstock.
-
Faceted Petals
This card builds on a previous thank-you card. This one adds more layers, texture and colors.
-
Minimalist Sympathy Card
The theme of the January 2025 video hop is Minimalism and I’ve chosen to use the Spellbinders BetterPress of the Month for January for my card.
-
Vivid Blooms
I started out by studying the arrangement on the packaging. It uses one of each of the flowers and a couple of the smaller leaves. So that’s what I die cut from Hammermill cardstock.
-
Winnie the Pooh
I love Winnie the Pooh and the original illustrations! So I jumped at the chance of creating cards with the Classic Pooh Simple Stories and Spellbinders collab.
-
Moody Thanks
This is a pretty simple card, consisting only of two dark purple pieces of cardstock plus the sentiment and some sequins.
-
Jaycee’s Hearts
As soon as I saw Jaycee’s playing deck-themed release with Spellbinders, I knew what I wanted to create with it. With Valentine’s Day on my mind, I chose the heart dies for my first card.
-
Birthday UFO
Simon Hurley’s Space Adventure release with Spellbinders is so much fun! I created a birthday card with a UFO, two aliens and a matching sentiment.
-
Amanda’s Bunnies
First I stamped all four bunnies from Trinity Stamps Baby Bunny Stamp Set a couple of times on Hammermill cardstock with Memento Dye Ink in Rich Cocoa. This is an alcohol marker friendly ink.
-
Social Media Calendar & To Do List
To help me stay on track, I’ve designed my own weekly calendar and to-do list. You can print it in color or black and white. It prints in landscape format on letter-sized paper.
-
Pinkfresh Poinsettia
I started by stamping and heat embossing the big Poinsettia stamp set twice: once with gold embossing powder on Hammermill and once with Distress Embossing Glaze in Speckled Egg on vellum.
-
Folk Snowflake
The December 2024 Pinkfresh Challenge Theme is Magical Holiday and the color palette is Mermaid Cove, Cherry Blossom, Berrylicious, Sunkissed, and Spruce Tips.

Kat Scrappiness Christmas Lantern
One thing I love about Kat Scrappiness is that she has lots of shaker dies! This older Christmas Lantern is one of them.

Stitchmas: Day 9 – 12
This year I’m co-hosting an Instagram hop using the Spellbinders Stitchmas Advent Calendar. We’re hopping on even days, starting on December 2nd.
-
Merry Giveaway Cards
I cut out the A2 Cover Die from an old background. The background was stamped with a Taylored Expressions background stamp and heat embossed in light blue.
-
California Santa
I want my Santa to sit at the bottom of an A2 card with the sentiment above him. It’s a pretty big sentiment, so it’s important to plan out my card.
-
Oval Holiday Shaker
I cut the oval base layer three times from red foil cardstock and once from clear acetate. Next I cut the oval frame three times from red glitter foam.
-
BetterPress First Impressions
But this blog post is mostly about taking the BetterPress for a spin. I own a number of plates already, because they foil fantastically well.
-
Stitchmas: Day 5 – 8
I cut the star background from Hammermill Cardstock and the segments from Recollections Gold Foil Cardstock.
-
Spellbinders Love on the Rocks
Today I’m participating in Spellbinders launch of the Love on the Rocks Collection. For this card I used the die set called Love on the Rocks and the press plate sentiments.
-
A Slimline Christmas
I had a dual purpose for these cards. I needed to create a card with an old kit or subscription for an Instagram hop and I needed sample cards for my next giveaway.
-
Stitchmas: Day 1 – 4
My plan was to create round ornaments with my stitched die cuts, using wooden coasters as my base. I started by painting the edges with gold paint.
-
November Pinkfresh Challenge: Floral Bauble
I heat embossed the images and sentiment in Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing Powder. Then I used the layering stencils with the challenge colors.
-
November Pinkfresh Challenge: Holiday Gifts
I die cut and stenciled the faux envelope in Begonia. I arranged the presents and greenery coming out of the envelope more or less following the image on the packaging.
