Peek-a-boo Gate Fold
This is a fun way to make a gate fold card, and it’s so forgiving because the flaps don’t have to meet precisely as in a typical gate fold. The flaps here leave a 3/4″ strip of the inside exposed – and that is a perfect place for a greeting. … Continue reading
Twisted Pop-Up Valentine
At first glance, this looks like a very simple Valentine. There is a “Wow Factor” as it is opened, though. An 11″ wide pop-up section twists and opens…and it is not terribly hard to create this fun fold. This was a club project this month, and everyone agreed the construction … Continue reading
Terrific Tags Throwback
This is one of my earliest handmade cards. I made it in a class in Columbus, Ohio sometime around 2005. The stamp set “Terrific Tags” came in a cool blue tin with a tag punch. The punch was later available in two sizes. I made a similar card with mini envelopes … Continue reading
Foxy Friends Valentine
Our little “Foxy Friends” fox, jabbering in hearts, is perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Time is Running Out…
Time is running out for Christmas cards, and I really hate to see this season of bright and cheery, red and green, holly jolly cards come to a close. Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year for cards! These two cards were made by my upline’s upline, Terri … Continue reading
Perfectly Wrapped for Christmas
The holidays are a great time to deliver thanks to special people. I used “Perfectly Wrapped” with This Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper. They look like they were made for each other. The wood grain pattern measures 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″, and the diagonal stripe is 2″ x 5 … Continue reading
Sealed With Love Sneak Peek
Wait ’til you see all of the cute framelits in the Love Notes collection! They coordinate with the “Sealed with Love” stamp set, and I have used four of the framelits here – the envelope, the envelope liner, and the two note card inserts. The Real Red and Whisper White … Continue reading
