Punch art can be very involved and time-consuming, but not this time! To make this little guy, you don’t have to pull out every punch you own. I bet you won’t even lose pieces on the floor in the process. I saw this cute little chick on a project made … Continue reading

Heart Punch Shamrock
Don’t these remind you of those little glass bubble charms that held four-leaf clovers? Not a lot of planning goes into my St. Patrick’s Day. For purposes of this blog, that means no special stamp and cardstock purchases (usually) 🙂 Luckily, though, I already have so many heart shapes … Continue reading
Easter Chick
With Easter falling so late this year, it seems a little early for an Easter card. However, since the Backyard Basics framelits are in this week’s Weekly Deals (Sale $18.71/Reg $24.95) and Sweet Sorbet designer series paper (dsp) is available in the Sale-a-bration freebies through March 31, we may as … Continue reading
Language of Love
The stamps in the Language of Love set are perfect for Valentine’s Day, but they can definitely be used year-round. The card base here is Soft Sky with an Elegant Eggplant mat, and since it is early February, I made my garland in Valentine colors. However, I do look forward … Continue reading

Geometrical Valentine
At some point, I will use the triangles from Geometrical as triangles, but for now, I am stuck on hearts. All of the stamps on this simple card are from Geometrical. I stamped three triangles, and punched 1/2″ circles from two of them to piece my heart together. I don’t … Continue reading
Polaroid Shaker Card and Monster Hugs
Here are two more Leadership-inspired projects. On the left, my version of the Monster Hugs Valentines that are available thru January 27 or while supplies last. They are designed so that you can attach candy to the monster’s belly and wrap her arms around it. A Hershey Nugget fits perfectly, … Continue reading
JOY Window Sheet Pop-up
When I first showed this type of card this past summer, I knew I would be making it again at the holidays with the word JOY. The letters are cut with the Typeset Alphabet Bigz dies. I used two of each letter to sandwich a 1/2″ strip of window sheet … Continue reading
