Hi Everyone! It’s been a few days and I’ve been itching to post something. I’ve got two videos on the way, but I wanted to quickly share this project that I worked on yesterday. As my collection of crafting tools grow, I’m finding less and less room to store everything. I had to do something … More DIY Framed Ribbon Holder
I’ve been pushing myself this past week to do more of what makes me happy – which is a great distraction from work and frustrates me – but I’m so fulfilled by paper crafting. People I don’t know are subscribing to YouTube channel and I feel so immensely blessed in every way to be able … More 3″x4″ Best Day Ever Mini Gift Bag
Hello Everyone! I haven’t had any extra time this week – but I’ve forced myself to stay busy because I’ve been so excited about my new videos and all the stuff I’m learning from other crafters online. I made a card using the “Spotlight” technique yesterday. Instead of choosing one focal point, I did 3 … More Big on You Stars “Spotlight” Card
I’m back today for a coloring comparison between the Blendabilities markers, blender pen, and aqua painter. As some of you know, Stampin’ Up! has discontinued their Blendabilities markers due to unacceptable manufacturing issues. You have to appreciate a company that cares about the quality of their products. We are all very sad about it, but … More Coloring with the Blender Pen and Aqua Painter
Hi Everyone! I saw an awesome video on Kristina Werner’s YouTube channel and I wanted to make this beautiful wreath card for Mother’s Day. I used Inkadinkadoo Masking paper to make a circle for my wreath. It comes as a 5×7 and I used a large circle die to cut out a center for my project. … More Masked Wreath Mother’s Day Card
Last night, my fellow Hobby and Business Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators and I had a virtual slumber party on Facebook – as funny as that sounds – I had a blast. For two hours, we share comments and photos on topics that are posted by our leader, Mimi Henwood. As an inspiration challenge, we were given … More Inspiration Card
This is last wedding card I’m making as far as I know, so I wanted to have a little fun with it. I cased this card and the original post can be found here. I got some Something Borrowed Designer Series paper just for this. This paper is so simple and elegant and is perfect … More A Wedding Card for Hannah Grace
I started this blog a week before Christmas in 2014. Since then, I’ve been dreaming about doing more and have been wanting to do video tutorials. I know I’m not perfect and I’m a pretty sensitive person – I don’t know how I’ll handle all the dislikes and criticism. But I’m realizing more and more that … More My Video Set Up
It’s Easter time! In my lastest order from Stampin’ Up!, I got the highly anticipated Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Dies – there was just no way around it. It’s definitely a must have! I’ve watched a few tutorials on YouTube and have made my own. They are so cute! Supplies will be listed at the … More Happy Easter 2015!
We have made very few friends in our short time here in Ohio. With our busy work schedules, it’s been really difficult to make time for others. Stephen has a classmate who is also here with us and her wedding is also in May. This card is cased from the card that is featured in … More Your Perfect Day
There are 3 weddings coming up this May – only one of which we can attend. So I got busy after some much needed Caly-time today to make some. This first one I created is for my friends, Jessica and Eric, who I also made bridal shower invites and a banner for previously. I wanted … More For The New Two
My middle child, Evan (aka: Egg-Head, Egan, Evan-brain – we have lots of nicknames for him), had a project a few weeks ago and he had to create a timeline. So I wanted to share with you what I did to create this accordion-fold timeline using washi tape. I cut standard 8.5″ x 11″ heavy … More Kindergarten Timeline Project
The Blendabilities markers have been discontinued by Stampin’ Up! due to some quality manufacturing issues and it has been a disappointment for a lot of people. The markers are so versatile and you can do so many projects with them. I have no doubt that Stampin’ Up! will find an alternative for these popular markers … More Butterfly Thinlit on Vellum
Today’s card is really simple. I wanted to play with chalkboard effects and this was really easy to do.
