Never too late...

March 31, 2025
...to start blogging more often. I love stamping and sharing it with others and I do it in person very well. It's the online stuff that holds me back from being all I can be. So, today I will start to blog more often! I hope this post finds new followers. The weather in Tucson is perfect! It only last a little while and before we like it, it will be so hot you'll want to leave! But for now the birds are chirping and the flowers are blooming. This Collection from Stampin Up! reminds me of all the wonderful colors of spring! "Friends for Life" I saw this unique card fold first from stamphappy.co Then changed it a bit to suite my needs for class. I hope you enjoy this card. It is somewhere between an easel card and a hidden flap of sorts. 

Happy to share my printable instructions free of charge just send me an email asking for an downloadable copy.

Fall is in the air... )Still over 100 in Tucson but I am trying!) and the kids are back to school! I thought us crafter could use a little back to school too. My in person classes for September are just that with back to school with Stampin' University!

Summer is here!

July 3, 2022
Summer is here and the monsoons gearing up! I was inspired to make this fun summer card from an Artisan Design Team member from SU! last month. Using the simplest die you can create a wow card. This card is a Slimline measuring 8.5 by 3.5. I used a 1/4 mat using white on white cardstock. The base card is colored in a rainbow of colors using direct to paper with a blending brush. Once you have colored the base simply die cut the top layer using an assortment of fun, small dies! Be sure to save...

Flowering Cactus Card Class

February 9, 2021

Being from Az I am in love with anything cactus! And this "Flowering Cactus" medley of product do not disappoint! Love! For class this week we are cutting the image out from the DSP and creating a focal point on this bi-folding card. Where the two layers overlap I snuck in a super thin magnet so the card secretly closes! The left side is about 2 1/2 inches wide and the right is about the same. If a standard card is only 4 1/4 wide these two over sized sides will overlap nicely. Have fun explo...

Christmas Card for September...

September 15, 2020


This is my Christmas card for September. Locally I teach a class every week and on the 3rd Thursday we have been making a Holiday card. We were afraid we would not be able to host a holiday stamp camp this year with everything going on but, everyone wants to come!!! In the mean time here is this months inspiration for a Christmas card. I am using Peaceful Nativity Stamps and matching dies. I love how 3D the stable came out. For the night sky I blended 3 blues: Night of navy, Misty moonlight &...
