floral off centre gatefold card with Artistically Inked

Off Centre Gatefold Card

I’m SO excited about this off centre gatefold card using the Expressions in Ink Suite! I love everything about this suite.

fun, simple, peekaboo card with a llama

Fun, simple, Peekaboo card

I created this fun, simple, peekaboo card with the coolest set of dies! There are only two dies in the “Picture This” set. One cuts out multiple circles and the other cuts out multiple rectangles.

Clean & Simple Sympathy Card

A clean and simple sympathy card is life’s necessity. Even our furry friends eventually leave this mortal coil and are a much valued member of your family. Their loss is no less felt and it is heartbreaking to have to say “good-bye”. Words seem so inadequate at times like these, and sending a card just […]

Tower block fold card

Eek! I recently discovered this fancy tower block fold card. It sounds complicated, doesn’t it, but there’s a method in the “madness”. I try to make the instructions as easy as I can for its execution! Evening Evergreen is such a rich green, and I love the combination of greens in the Pansy Petals 12″ […]
