Now, this was fun. Never did anything like this before so I was a little nervous to try it. Hopefully, it looks as good as I think it does.

  So I made this card for my dad in June for father's day. It's pretty simple. The bow tie is made up of two different ribbons. It took me way too many times to admit I tried to do the bow in the blue before it hit me to do double. It just looks… Continue reading Happy (belated) Fathers day Card

How-To: The Bride & Groom Card

Here is my how-to video for the Bride and Groom card I posted last week. It's rough I admit. I never made something like this before but it was fun.

Why Stickers Make Life Easier

As you have seen in some of the cards I've posted, I'm a big fan of stickers. I use stickers for lettering and accents to the designs. Instead of using and gluing individual pearls, I got a pack of beads that have an adhesive side which makes it quicker and cleaner. I am not a… Continue reading Why Stickers Make Life Easier
