Oh deer…is it too early to post about Christmas???

Aug 1, 2012

Hey Friends,

Wow…I can’t believe I’m already seeing items and promotions for the holidays. That’s nuts, right? I mean, when is it exactly appropriate to start the marketing and advertising for the seasons to come? Isn’t there a Fall between Summer and Winter?
I’ve also received a few orders for some holiday cards this early on! My customers usually just leave it up to me to design their cards and today…well did just that! Today’s mood was torn between still trying to enjoy summer but also realizing that the holidays are among us. So, feeling quite goofy, I designed this “oh deer,” card as a reflection of my mood. A bit too rebellious you think?

Who votes rebellious?

Who votes cute and playful?

Thanks in advance for your help and feedback!

From me to you…

Cute as a Button

Jun 1, 2012

Howdy crafters! As you already know, baby showers and new beginnings are amongst us and creating that perfect hand-crafted card means so much to the mother to be.
So, I couldn’t wait any longer to share this cute baby card design and technique with you.
In this post, I would like to point out a few easy techniques when card designing.

#1 Wheel buttons- you can get these from an old shirt.
#2 Large circle punches- use various sizes for creating the stroller bassinet and baby face.
#3 Real cosmetic blush- applied with q-tip for the cheek color on the baby face…cuteness overload!

From me to you…
