Card Cupids Winter Wishes Card Drive

Card Cupids wants to have plenty of cards on hand for the upcoming holiday season.


I have a personal goal of 30 cards.

I work 2 part-time jobs, so I am creating great cards that don't take a lot of time.

The penquin  was quick and easy to color.
The pattern paper is ONE SHEET! I bought a pattern paper pack, and the front sheet that shows you all the patterns inside... well this is it!
Added twine, and done!

Rubber to Digi


I have been doing digi stamps for several yeas now. It seems I now do more digi than rubber. So if you visit here for inspiration and don't see anything new, please check my digi blog.
Some companies offer both digi and rubber/clear stamps, such as Teddy Bo.

We have a place in Mt. Juliet, TN called Fired Up. You select a plaster item, decorate it, and they fire it in the kiln. Here is a plate I painted using Happily Grateful stamps from Red Rubber Designs.
