Hi friends ~ I finally got to work with the latest Altenew Craft-a-Flower set, which has 3 different tulips! I decided to make this card for a friend’s upcoming birthday. And, I have been waiting to make these tulips yellow because we had such beautiful yellow tulips in our yard earlier this spring. I began …
Happy July everyone! Can you believe it? I am SO not ready to be halfway to Christmas already, but then I never am. Just taking one day at a time… how about you? Today’s card is a bit different for me — for instance, it is the first time I have ever put a bow …
Today’s card is all about shine. It would be perfect for a wedding or anniversary. My husband and I are celebrating our Golden Anniversary (50 years!) next Christmas, and I would love to receive a shiny card like this! (And my favorite color is purple.) ? Actually, this card is my submission in the Altenew …
For this card, I challenged myself to create something in a completely different style and design from my Simple Beauty #1 card… but to make it difficult to tell that it uses the same stamp set (Altenew Simple Beauty). I love to do this, because it enables me to stretch my stamp purchases and make …
Every morning my 1-year-old golden retriever, Sunny, comes to my bedside to greet me, and we have a discussion about whether it’s going to be a good or bad doggy day. (I know — ridiculous — but true!) ? A good doggy day can be summed up if Sunny gets to go riding in the …
I got up this morning ready to make a beautiful tulip card… but I sat down at my workspace and saw the new Altenew Soda Pop Nesting Dies sitting there…. and I started to play with them instead. From tulips to geometry? Who knows how my brain functions! It’s not like I have ever particularly …
I had so much fun making this card! After yesterday’s serious flower theme, I decided to play with the Altenew stamp set that I used for my sentiment on my Rose Bouquet card: Simple Flowers. These blooms couldn’t be more different than the formal rose dies. They are modern and fun, and gave me the …
Today’s card is for the Altenew Educator Certification Program (AECP), displaying that I have finished the class “Easy Die Cutting Techniques.” My idea for this card came from wanting to show how you can use the very same dies in so many totally different ways! The roses that are in today’s bouquet are exactly the …
I am SO excited that today I was honored to make my first outreach card (other than sending cards to my friends and family). A friend saw my new adventure on Facebook, and last night asked if I would make a card for a family member who is a young policewoman needing a word of …
I made this sympathy card today for a dear friend who has been going through much loss. Her favorite color is blue, so that inspired my theme. I chose to use the Altenew Paint-a-Flower: Anemone stamp set. I just started subscribing to this product a couple of months ago, and my delivery of this particular …
