If you saw my Rose Quartz Swatchbook showcase video and you were curious how to make one for yourself, check out this video. I’m swatching a new designer paper pad I recently got on Amazon. I’ve never heard of the brand, but the quality and design are pretty nice. The only odd thing is the consistency of the paper weight.… Read the rest
I was going through all my paper collections trying to get organized and maybe use up paper packs. But I felt oddly precious about all of my papers — I wanted to save a sheet from each pack just so I could see the unique designs. In particular, I got a lot of mileage (a.k.a… Read the rest

I started making mini albums with the ultimate goal in mind of creating my own wedding album. I’ve discovered a lot of dies (e.g. Tonic Studio’s Memory Books) that you can use to make gorgeous and elaborate memory books. I’ve ordered several, but they haven’t arrived yet, so in the meantime, I’m going back to basics and made a few albums from scratch – all hand-cut.… Read the rest
I love using foam adhesive tape to add dimension to my cards. If you don’t add too many layers of foam, they can go through USPS without extra postage. Before creating my own, I used it rather sparingly because the brand name tape can be expensive — at least compared to other adhesives.… Read the rest
This is one of several separate videos covering different ways you can add custom lettering to your cards or other papercrafting projects.
This video highlights the We R Memory Keeper’s Word Punch Board. I love this tool because you can easily create sentiment strips with a custom message. What’s even better is there’s zero waste because you can use the positive and the negative pieces from the punch!… Read the rest
In my research on what monthly subscription card kit to invest in (post 1 and post 2), I made my own card kit using a 12 x 12 pattern paper pad I already have. The exercise was mainly to learn whether I would enjoy using pattern paper since I haven’t really used it much in my card making.… Read the rest
I’m still researching which monthly card kit I want to subscribe to. It’s not getting any easier, folks. Not only have I discovered more card kits but I haven’t eliminated any! When I started my “in-depth analysis” of card kit subscriptions, I created a comparison chart (you can check it out on this blog post).
In my last post, I compared the card kits “on paper” to see how they stack up against each other. It’s hard to make a decision just on the “specs” of the kit. They all look so beautiful and quite frankly, I’d love to sign up for them all. However, card kit shopping isn’t like buying a laptop.… Read the rest
You may be thinking I need to take a chill pill. Don’t worry; I’m chill. I’m very chill. Actually, no, I’m super excited!
This is my introduction of FLIPPED projects. What’s a FLIPPED project? It’s how I approach my card making sessions. When I sit down to make cards, I think about how I can “FLIP” the motif I’m working on.… Read the rest
