Hello &

CREATE | HANDMADE | INSPIRE

About

I began paper crafting years ago making party decor for my family celebrations and holidays.  I created a little crafting nook in my house and found myself engaged with the imagining, cutting and assembling of each handmade piece.

I found an appreciation for stamping and card making too which so wonderfully ties in to my earlier paper crafting memories.  

Most recently, I learned how to crochet and began making basic projects like cozy blankets and warm winter hats. 

What inspires me?  All things bright and beautiful!

I hope by sharing my projects, you are encouraged to also create and to enjoy the wonderful world of handmade.

See what’s new from the studio!

Happy Tuesday, friends! I’m so excited that I got to spend a little time in the craft room this past weekend. I decided to create a little more with the Village stamp set and Village Additions stamp set with coordinating dies by Pretty Pink Posh.

Of course, this provided me a chance to experiment with my Ohuhu pastel Honolulu alcohol marker set

When I find myself in a creative block or just lacking a bit of creative energy, I like to flip through my pattern paper supply and imagine pretty paper combos. This helps kick-start my mind for potential projects, plus it’s a great way to revisit using that beautiful stack of pattern paper that sometimes I tend to forget about. For today’s card projects, I chose three complimentary pattern papers – a floral, stripe, and brushed watercolor.

Hello and welcome! I’m so happy to share with you today a card project featuring the Graceful Butterfly embossing folder and dies from Simon Says Stamp. I love how easy this set is to use. The beautiful and versatile butterflies add instant elegance to any card.

I have used the butterfly images both plain and embossed for different card designs. But, recently, I have enjoyed using my embossing folders as a raised canvas for watercolor!
