I had some Sweet Sorbet paper left over from Sale-a-bration, and had to pair the confetti print with the confetti in the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set. I made these simple birthday cards on our note cards – the cards are 5″ x 3 1/2″, and they come in packs … Continue reading

Endless Birthday Wishes
Remember the Endless Wishes photopolymer set that was available before the holidays last year? With its countless greeting combinations and contrasting fonts, it was awesome! It was fun and easy, and the results were great on even the simplest of cards. Now we have a version for birthdays! This was … Continue reading
Freshly Made Sketches 127
In this layout, Jen T. gives us a great way to highlight a small element on the right side of this card. However, in my version, the matted piece under the banner grabs the attention. Hopefully, the letters for “LOVE YOU” jump right out at you. That is the main … Continue reading
Off the Grid and New Photopolymer Sets

I used letters from the new photopolymer Sans & Stripes set, and my greeting just happened to fit one of the word bubble framelits perfectly. This layout … Continue reading
So Very Grateful and New Photopolymer Set
If this technique has a name, “Easy” should be in it somewhere! To get that beautiful watercolored background, all you need is an acrylic block (I used size D), some markers and a spray bottle. Brian Pilling showed us this technique at Leadership, promoting the idea of a simple, one-layer … Continue reading
