Quick and Easy Colorful Card
It's the saga of how we made this quick and easy colorful card. Yes, it was quick and easy, but it was not without it's road bumps. First, we had to make 25 or more cards. Not different cards. Just one style of card. We swapped or traded with some of our favorite...

Make a Quick and Easy Sailboat Card
We really loved making our sailboat card twice on Friday. Once to send to a new friend and again to share with all our viewers on our live stream. We liked it just that much, but each time was a little different. We made the first one without a hitch and got it in the...
Do Card Layouts Help You?
First, you might want to know what card layouts are. The easiest way to explain is that it's a kind of map of what your card will look like. For many stampers, it's where they start with making their card - even if they're copying a card they've seen before. What's...
Try This Textured Whitewash Card
You may have seen whitewash before, but have you tried to make a textured whitewash card? We tried it on yesterday's live stream and I like it! In another couple months, these 5 colors will retire after two years of faithful service. And we picked three of them to...
Finally Finished Friday’s Palm Tree Card
We lost our signal during last Friday's live stream, so yesterday we waited and finished Friday's Palm Tree card on yesterday's show. It was fun! We shared a brand new unreleased stamp set and gave some tips on how to watercolor using the Stampin' Blends. We showed...
Check Out Our Greenhouse Card

Upgrading our Get Well Card
A few days ago in this post, we shared our original dog get well card. But when we did the live stream, Ann did two more versions. We'd like to think that the first version was good. That's the one we made with our local stamp club and shared in this post. The second...
Little Dog Get Well Card
When making those slimline cards, you might wonder what to do with the leftover cardstock. So we made a little dog get well card. The card base for the slimline card we made on our Monday live stream and featured in yesterday's post left a 4" x 8-1/2" piece of Thick...
How About a Slim Line Card?
We're going to make a slim card tonight at stamp club so Ann made one with our online friends yesterday. Ann started with the idea that she would be using the new set with the conversation hearts called Sweet Conversations. It's a great bundle, but it wasn't easy to...
It’s Great to get Happy Mail!
It's always nice to get happy mail! Ann's been pretty busy around here getting her packages together to mail to our bidders that were on Friday's live online sale. It sure does take a bit of an effort but she's glad to do it. We sold everything! And everyone who pays...
