This fun shaped card is perfect for summer. It would make a cute party invitation or a cheery "pick me up" card for a friend. This simple card would be easy to produce in bulk since you're using dies to cut the materials quickly!

Very cool! I used the tag to present a gift: the ring I made with the black resin flower. Some crackle paint … [Read more...]
I’ll be home
I thought of my dad when I came up with this card to enter in this Moxie Fab challenge. This will be my second Christmas without him. We were always travelling for the holidays, either him to see us or the other way around. Thus the map I used to make the truck. In 2009, however, I chose to stay in PA instead of going home. I reasoned that it was my daughter's first Christmas and we were moving back to Texas in 6 months, so we would spend 2010 with … [Read more...]
