WCMC9#21: Florals

May 24, 20182 Comments

I love flowers. I've never been very good at keeping them alive, but I keep trying.  My great grandmother grew the most beautiful irises on her farm in Kentucky - she had her own breeds. Those genes did not get passed on to me. My mom used to joke that we didn't have green thumbs, … Continue reading WCMC9#21: Florals

CASology #300: Copper

May 20, 2018May 24, 20183 Comments

Hello friends! Today I have a quick clean & simple card using the Beautiful Branches set from Concord & 9th. I made this card for the CASology challenge #300, where the theme is copper. To start, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock (110lb) down to 4.25 X 11 and scored it at 5.5 inches. … Continue reading CASology #300: Copper

WCMC9 #20: Spring

April 19, 2018April 19, 20182 Comments

Spring? What's that? In my neighborhood, spring has been very elusive. I'm pretty sure it was snowing when I made the card I am sharing with you today. But you know, if you can't have flowers outside, make some flowers inside! To make the floral background, I used the accent flowers from the Wonderful Floral … Continue reading WCMC9 #20: Spring

Bright & Beautiful Birthday

March 28, 2018March 26, 2018

Hi friends! It's time for spring birthdays and I have a simple birthday card to share with you. I'm a big fan of rainbows...especially when March has been filled with snowstorms and thunderstorms (in one weekend). So I channeled that cheerfulness when creating this card. I used the Rainbow Wishes stamp and die bundle from … Continue reading Bright & Beautiful Birthday

WCMC9 #19 sketch

March 26, 2018March 26, 20182 Comments

Hi friends, just a quick card to share with you today. I used the Banners and Blooms stamp set from Concord & 9th to make this loosely watercolored thank you card. I started off by stamping the floral spray in a sort of vertical orientation using VersaFine ink - I find this ink is great … Continue reading WCMC9 #19 sketch

You Are Here

March 10, 2018March 18, 20183 Comments

Hi friends! Today I am sharing a card I made for the current CASology challenge (#290):  The design I settled on involves masking off a shape to stamp inside, using small solid, or "fill in" stamps from a larger set (Beautiful Branches, in this case - see the supply list at the end), and minimizing the … Continue reading You Are Here

Just because

February 25, 2018March 13, 20187 Comments

Hello! The card I have to share with you today is a little frilly, a little shiny, a little soft, and a lot of fun. I used the Just Because bundle from Concord & 9th along with some "traditional" and less traditional watercolors. I picked out some colors that I really liked from the soft, … Continue reading Just because

About me

I am a craft and art enthusiast. My first love is knitting, but a blog about languishing WIPs is hardly interesting. I started making cards about a year ago (and about ten years after I gave up on scrapbooking). Being creative is my outlet and my zen. Monkey and Oliver are my cats and craft buddies.
