To my dismay all the months of staying at home seemed futile because people flocked to the beaches in their hordes. People seem to have forgotten that although restrictions have been relaxed, COVID-19 is […]

Playful Patterns Stamparatus rainbow
Give me an alphabet die set anytime – I love them! Even better is one that includes the numerals as well! Not only that, there are multiple dies for more popular letters! I show you two ways to use the Stamparatus for a technique called “hinge” stamping. The one with red and blue stripes is […]
Celebrate Sunflowers with vellum
