What’s cuter than Mama Elephant critters? Mama Elephant critters in cups! I like giving little hostess gifts when I visit friends and family – especially during the holidays – So I really wanted to create some cute packaging for some hot cocoa kits I like. I started by stamping and coloring the images from Hot Cocoa... Continue Reading →
Designer Series | June 2021
Today I have a clean and simple card to show you, featuring the gorgeous new Peony Bouquet and the Big Spanish Words. I started my project by stamping the Peony Bouquet on a piece of white cardstock with some grey ink. Then I masked off the bottom of the flowers and stamped the stems of... Continue Reading →
Stamp Highlight | Happy Word Banners
Since the Happy Word Banners are just the right size to stretch across a giftcard, I wanted to use it to create a pocket on my card for just that.

This time I’ve taken a different approach to keeping it simple – Using some powdered pigment and water to create... Continue Reading →
Stamp Highlight | Koala Hugs
You’ve probably already seen how I used the negative cut from Slim Comic Strip – When I did that I really wanted some in a smaller size for tags (since you know how I love my tags). And perfectly here’s the Comic Cover Wonky to save the day! Instead of making a tag, I made a... Continue Reading →
Stamp Highlight | Little Koala Agenda
When I first saw the new Matchbox Builder dies, I knew the rectangles and decorations would be awesome to use for tags as well as the box.

Stamp Highlight | Ninja Sayings
I adore the new Little Ninja Agenda and I couldn’t help but imagine them running around my desk having fun, which made me think of the previously released Sticky Notes stamps.
