A shaker card hanging right off the edge? I had to try that. I’ve been seeing these fun off the edge shakers lately. They look like so much fun and sparked the idea for today’s card. The sweet little couple from Unity Stamp Company felt perfect for it, especially with…
Have you tried hot foiling? It’s been a hot minute since I pulled out my foils, but when Spellbinders released the redesigned Glimmer II Hot Foil System, I couldn’t wait to give it a go. I always love the beautiful shine you get from foiled cards. I’m sharing two hot foiling Christmas cards,…

I adore this skeleton. As soon as I saw Sir Skeleton by Spellbinders, I knew he had to BOO-gie. 😂 He already had the hat and bow tie, so I could totally picture him dancing down the street. A little spinner was all I needed to make that happen, and I love…
I make cards all the time, yet somehow I’m still late sending birthday cards. I can’t figure out how that happens. Haha. So, I have a fun and quick belated birthday card idea for both of us when we are running behind. I used Unity Stamp Company’s new Eventually Yours stamp set…
