Two more card projects have been cooked up for the card kitchen. These two designs focus on the great die cut embellishments that are part of April’s kit.
I love sponging the edges of die cuts with some soft subtle ink like my favourite Brushed Corduroy Distress ink. It’s one ink that I never put away as I hardly ever make a card without it.
I even sponged the edges of the word sticker before adhering it.

Take care!

Back in the Card Kitchen today with two more card designs. These two projects are all about pattern and playing with the print of the papers.
This first card was inspired by the grey grid paper. It makes a great background to alter and by adding 1 inch squares, you get a fun dimensional layout.
The second card plays around with the fun green chevron print. Cutting it apart makes for some interesting borders and a peak behind it at the butterfly print.
Check out the full versions of these card design on the Card Kitchen Kit Club blog here.

I love guest designing as it gives you the opportunity to try out new things. It’s always an honour and I’m so excited to be guest designing for the Card Kitchen Kit Club. I’ve been cooking (creating) up a storm with the April kit. I knew it would be fun as the Card Kitchen Kit Club is packed with great Jillibean Soup product which I always adore working with.
April’s kit is full of new Jillibean product and some fun accessories. I have a lot (8 in total) cards to share this week so pop back each day as I share more fun ideas for this kit.
You can find the full versions of these cards on the Card Kitchen blog here.
Need to purchase the kit? Trust me…you do! Check it out here.
Happy creating!

It’s the Saturday of Easter weekend so here’s a simple spring wreath for you.
Just simple stamping and a few colored pencils. I love colored pencils on Kraft.
Quick Tip: Don’t be afraid to stamp off the cardstock for a partial image.

So this is it.
My favorite project in a very long time.
Messy.
Inky.
Bright & fun.
Having stained fingers just makes me happy. Bizarre, I know!
I created this tag mini art journal for my daughter. She loves to journal and I hope the beautiful colors will inspire her and also remind her of how much she is loved.
Today I’m sharing all the inky details of this mini in the CLASSroom. I hope you’ll join me!
Happy Good Friday!
This time of year, I like to do a lot of spring cleaning. Things seem to pile up over the winter and I’ve been spending days sorting, purging and generally doing a great “clean sweep”. I’ve found a lot of treasures and misplaced items and that always makes it so worth it.
One project I found was a card I had never shared here with you. It was from a Lily Bee card class I taught last year using my Victoria Park paper line.
This is a rare card for me…one that’s made with 99.9% paper and ink. Just a couple little metal staples on it that can be left off if they are not your thing.
I’m still a huge fan of the 3D Flower Die. It’s my favourite Sizzix die and I can’t imagine what they would have to come up with to replace it in my affections. This die makes such beautiful and easy rolled roses. {love}
Quick Tip: To make the leaves, punch a circle from patterned paper or cardstock. Punch that circle again to make a curved leaf shape. You can get two leaves from one punched circle.

Love washi tape? I do! But I do think that fabric tape is totally fab as well. Maybe even better! It’s tougher for one thing and that texture…awesome!
How about making chevrons with fabric tape?
Or stitching it?
It’s also great for making borders, ribbon etc. etc. etc.
It’s no secret that I’ve been a huge Maya Road fan for years…long, long before I was part of the design team. If you’re like me, here’s something you’re going to want to check out!
I hope you apply and good luck!
Happy creating!
