Happy Spring!

Are you ready to chase "Old Man Winter" out?  How about sending some cheerful, springy tulip cards with gingham or polka dot bunnies to usher in the warmth?  "Cards By The Yard" are ones that are such fun to make in multiples, and I bring you these today that will be perfect for welcoming Spring!

 I am using standard A2 size bases, Art Philosophy cartridge by Close to My Heart for the frame and tag, and Martha Stewart punches for the flowers and butterflies.  The bunny is my design from last year's Decor Bunny Project shrunk down to 1 1/2 inches.

Enjoy the video on making them!

Happy crafting, and I'll see you again soon!

Monochromatic Cards with Embroidery

Monochromatic cards are done with all one color papers and trims.

This time I have added a beautiful piece of embroidered embellishment

(made for me by a special friend on her embroidery machine)

which adds a delightful pop of surprise color.

Here is the cream colored version!

I hope you have enjoyed today's projects!

I'll be back again soon.

Happy crafting ~

Here We Come A Caroling ...

and it's Tuesday Tutorial at Digital Delights.  I have enjoyed being a New Release Artist, and then Tutorial Artist for them for quite a while, but some family needs have made it necessary for me to say farewell to Wendy and the wonderful design team members.  This is my last video for them.  I hope you will enjoy learning to take her adorable digital images, and making them "come to life" like Frosty!! 


I will be having my  UStream Class Tuesday evening, Dec. 20th at 8:00 pm, and I will be sharing several last minute Christmas projects, Thank You projects, and a surprise or two.  I do hope you will be joining me!  Click on the UStream logo on the top of my blog to take you to the channel.

Happy crafting!
