First Clear Card!!

My first clear card! I made this card for my in-laws for Easter. She is sooo appreciative of my cards, I just love to try new things for her!

Used the Sensational Season SOM set!

Shirt Fold Instructions

I've had some requests on how to fold the shirt on the card I did. Well, I took some pictures and this is what I came up with. Besides, I don't think you would have understood "fold left thingie over to the other side to the other thingie..." Hope this helps! You can click on pictures to make them bigger.


















1. Start with a 4x6 piece of paper. (you could go 5x7 or 3x5, but that ratio works best, I think.)
2. Lightly crease top in half, just to get a half way point for the next step - DO NOT fold all the way.
3. Fold both sides into middle (to that light fold mark at top)
4. Fold over top (towards unopened side) about 1/2 inch (this is your collar).
5. Turn over and fold top corners in, leaving a space at the top (collar) with points together.
6. Fold up bottom, tuck under the "collar" and make crease at bottom of shirt.
7. Unfold again
8. Fold out "sleeves" from crease to the bottom of paper, like shown.
9. Fold back up. Voila! You have a shirt. You can pierce holes and add brads as buttons if you wish!

Project Tuesday Card - Spiral Pop-up Card

I was inspired to try the Project Tuesday challenge again. And yes, I think I'm addicted to this new paper pack and stamp set. (CTMH Slendor Papers & Hot Diggity Stamp set). I tried using glimmer mist on the inside too...it's hard to see in picture.

Waterfall Swap Cards

I joined a swap for waterfall cards and wanted to use some of the new summer products...Splendor Paper Pack
Hot Diggity Stamp set

Dad's 70th Card

Happy Birthday Dad! I love you!

Isn't it so cool!

Well, I was perusing the stamping ideas out there yesterday and came across this cute card idea...it is one of Dawn Griffith's cool tutorials (she cracks me up!). I did mine with a pic of the kids. I can not WAIT to try another one! Enjoy!

p.s. I added a lil' card in the first "valley" to write a note on. This card fits in a standard 51/2 x 41/4 envelope! I used CTMH Cocoa cardstock, ribbon and brads. Bambo brad, Classic White cardstock and Perfect Day paper. (Kids designed by God!)

Playing with my new stamp set....

I got this new stamp set - new to me, not CTMH - and couldn't wait to play with it. It is soo pretty. I found this stand up card idea online and thought it was cool, so I tried it out. Stamp camp idea...hmmm. Tell me what you think!

Fun Card!

I found the template for this tri-shutter card and had to try it out! I'm thinking it would be fun to do for one of the stamp camps. It was much easier than I thought and making it was a lot of fun. Oh..Rich gave me the idea for the surf board!
