Hello! Today I’m over at the Maker Forte Blog sharing some great Slimline Card Secrets.
I have a video, too, and you can watch it below or in HD on YouTube:
For all the details, head over to the Maker Forte Blog here.

Hello! Have you ever used a gel press? Today I’m going to show you some fast and easy backgrounds for Easter cards using the Gel Press. These are so fun to make (and you can make a lot of them in just one sitting)!
I had such a great time making these, and I think the easiest way to show you how, is with a video! So watch my instructional video below or in HD on YouTube:
I think you get such a smooth, easy transition of colors with the gel press that you really can’t get any other way! All you need is a Gel Press, a brayer, and some of your favorite Distress Oxide colors.
If you have never used a gel press before, don’t worry: this is just perfect for a beginner! And if you have used one before, I also share some ways to get a more interesting and detailed result!
But be careful: these techniques can get very addicting! Be sure to watch the video for all the details. Happy Easter!

Hello! Today I have a video sharing Five Stencil Ideas you Might Not Think of. I’m sharing some new stencils from Miss Ink Stamps that are so beautiful and delicate.
Normally, with stencils like this, I would recommend using Pixie Spray. But I found a new tool that I LOVE for holding stencils in place. I’m sharing all the details and the stencil techniques in my video below:
This Alice card might be my favorite paired with the Heirloom Blooms stencil. I used a selective stenciling technique and added a little sparkle!
For this card, I doubled up on the stencils: using Basket Case as the base and added some Heirloom Blooms. This is easy and fun…and I share it all in the video!
A picture doesn’t do this one justice! I used the new Kaleidoscope Stencil with sticky embossing powder and added glitter! The Dazzle Dust changes from a pink glitter to iridescent and it is beautiful.
I love this Lucky Duck! I used a technique I like to call “Patchwork Stenciling” with two different colors of ink.
And this one is a radiating inking with added gemstones. So pretty! This is the Latte Love stencil and it’s a favorite!

Hello! Today I have a card to share with the brand new March release from Scrappy Tails Crafts. I fell in love with these hummingbirds right away and knew I wanted to make a card for Mom (her favorite birds!)
I also used the new Layered Daisy dies, which I just made into one layer for this card, but I think they layer up even more for so much drama!
I colored all the images and the die cuts with Copic Markers. I attached some with foam tape and some I adhered directly to the card so a dimensional look.

There are so many beautiful products in this release! I got the birdhouse pop-up set and I can’t WAIT to show you some fun projects with that. And, they are having a promotion (see photo above)! Go check it out.
Scrappy Tails Crafts is a new stamp company, I think this might be their third release! Sabrina, the owner, is so kind and talented and I think her products are high quality. Definitely worth a look if you love supporting small businesses!
Hello! Today I am happy to share a fun stamp set that I just couldn’t stop creating with! This is the Shamrock Truck from Maker Forte, and I just love it. I knew that there was more ways to use this cute image…not just for St. Patrick’s Day!
I made five cards, and share lots of fun techniques in the video below, or watch in HD on YouTube:
I really hope you find that you love this truck as much as I do. Hear what my husband had to say after I made three cards…and why I was compelled to keep creating! (Lol) I must say, that he heard me when I was doing the voiceover for this video and it made me laugh. He is such a great support, but he does tell it like it is!
