Happy Wednesday everyone. I hope you are having a great week. Last week I was lucky enough to take the train to Chicago to visit my daughter, Breanne, for a little girls time. It was so much fun and if you like coffee, you too would love visiting Breanne because she makes the best iced coffee ever. It was great fun just to hang out, talk, and generally do nothing. Well, almost nothing. I did take my crochet projects with me. After all you have to do something on the train ride, right?
I am back now with another Weekly Wednesday video and I am featuring some clean and simple card using black and white cardstock. These cards are super easy and you can use whatever embossing folders or stamps sets you have to create these. If you want to reproduce the exact card, don’t forget to download your free project sheet.
I just love the simplicity of a clean and simple card. And while I did dress my up a little today, sometimes less can be more. Stop back next Monday for another stamping video. Happy Stamping!

Hey friends a few weeks ago I hosted a cards and cocktails event for my neighbors. It was fun to get together with the ladies that I see all the time but really did not know much about. It was a good evening of fellowship and helped our neighborhood feel more connected. Who knows perhaps some of these lovely ladies will join me for my June card class-fingers crossed!
Today I am sharing with you three of the card I created for this event. I was trying to keep them simple, but in the video I do share a stepped up version for two of my three cards. Enjoy!
Use whatever patterned paper you have available in your stamping stash. This last card is great for scraps. It only takes a few scraps to create this card. If you have a lot of scraps, pick those that coordinate and skip the butterfly stamping. There are so many fun options. Be sure to stop back on Monday for another video tutorial. Better yet, subscribe and you will get an email every time I add a new post. Happy Stamping!

Happy Monday everyone. I cannot believe how quickly May has flown by. I guess it is because I am retired and I can craft whenever I want. My work days certainly did not go by this quickly! LOL Today, I am excited to share with you three clean and simple cards. These are the cards I will feature at my May card class with my beloved seniors at the Mother of Good Counsel Home. They are such a lovely group. I love that the men like to come to my class and I usually have around 10 residents who participate.
These are super simple cards and I have used a variety of products, some retired, some on thelast chance list for a great discount and some are current in my online store. Be sure to click the Shop With Me button at the end of this post if you are looking to purchase any stamping toys. I do believe the Gallery of Bloom is still available and has been discounted. I am really going to miss this set. (sad face)

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you had a glorious weekend. Today I am excited to share with you a fun gift bag that I created using one piece of 12 x 12 designer series paper. Plus you can use the left over strip to create 6 beautiful cards. I will be sharing with you 4 cards that I created with my left over strip. I want to give a shout out to Julie Dimiatteo at the Paper Pixie for her great tips on how to get perfectly even handles!
Here is a look at two of the bags I created:
Gift Bag Measurements:
Choose a 12 x 12 piece of designer series paper for your bag and matching cards. Cut your DSP to be 8-1/4 x 12 making sure your directional design is along the 12″ side.
Cut strip of 3-3/4 x 12 DSP into six 2″ strips to create your six matching cards.
Score on the 12″ side at 4-1/2, 5-3/4, 10-1/4, and 11-1/2. Rotate your DSP and score at 1-1/4 for the bottom and at 1″ for the top. See video on how to make cuts and fold bag and create the prefect ribbon handles.
Here is a closer look at the cards created from the 3- 3/4
These bags are so much fun and I love Julie’s tip on how to create the perfect handle every time. I had a blast created so many of these bags for this year’s Mother’s Day. Although my mom is no longer with me, I had a good time creating them for some very special moms! Thank the Lord for He is good and always placing the right people in our lives at the right time. Let us rejoice and give thanks for all moms and grandma’s this week. After all, Mother’s Day is not just one day of celebration, it is a lifetime of love. Stop back on Wednesday for another video tutorial. Happy Stamping!
