When I first started making cards, no one accused me of being creative. Most of my cards were one layer of card stock with stamping on the front. Going to two layers was really a step up for me! So how did I get from one layer cards to the cards I make now? By looking for patterns. I still look at cards other people make and break them down into a basic pattern of layers that I can duplicate. Once I have the pattern in my head I can make a whole bunch of cards like this… They are all the…
Sometimes you just need a really quick and easy card. Okay usually I just need a really quick and easy card. My stamping time these days is very limited and I usually need a card quick. Can you relate? When I saw the So Very Much stamp set I knew this was going to be my new favorite “Thank You” stamp. (FYI this is a Stampin’ Up!

Crafting with other people is fun but often I chat more than I craft. This time I was prepared. The day before I took some thank you cards I had designed and cut a whole bunch of card stock to make them. I also stamped my…
Peaches may be out of season but we just got the most delicious pears from our local Brennan’s Market last week. I’m not sure if those are just a Wisconsin thing or if they are all over. It’s my daughters’ favorite food store to shop in because they let you taste test all kinds of things.

These are some Thank You cards that I made with the Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper and the Fresh Fruit stamp set. In…
