2026-02-02; Toucan love
I pulled out my box of Valentine supplies and saw a rummage sale purchase I don’t think I’ve ever used. It is a Stampin’ Up set called Toucan of My Love. This set was a super deal at $1 for the set. You’ll be seeing one or two more samples in the next few days.
Thanks for stopping by.

This is a Penny Black image that was gifted to me by a stamping friend. I hope she likes the finished card.

2026-01-30; Zentangle Friday
Three of these designs were made at my bi-monthly zentangle drawing class. And one of them I did on my own. Take a guess, which one did I draw without the help of a class?

2026-01-27; Bicycle Bear CR303-259
The pre-printed note card has been in one of my storage boxes for a couple of years. It’s nice to put it to use. It also has a lovely texture to it. Mr. Bear on the bicycle is also on a wobbler making this a fun and interesting wobbler card. I used a Fiskers border punch to create the grass,

2026-01-25; Thanks for being a friend
This particular card was made using quite old supplies. The background is a large stamp by Stampin’ Up from 2015-2016. The wonderful friend sentiment was a thrift store find.
After I stamped the background I used an embossing folder to add texture.

2026-01-24; 3-d needle felting
Last week I took an art class on needle felting. I was able to create a 3-d snowman. I also added a top hat and a little ducky friend.
In case you missed my first try at needle felting; here is a little blue bird in a nest.

2026-01-23; Zentangle Friday
Happy Friday! 4 more zentangled envelopes for you this week. One of the below designs is a tangle that I just improvised instead of copying along with a tutorial. I’ve decided that I like a hint of color without going bold with it.
Thanks for stopping by.
Last week I started a new class series. This one is for trying out an AccuCut electronic die cutting machine. This particular machine is made specifically to cut shapes into fabric/material using steel rule dies. And it can do multiple layer cutting at a time.
Each class we take will be a different project. This month we die cut out all the pieces to make these miniature mittens. Each month will be a different project so we can continue to experiment with the dies and machine.
Thanks for stopping by.
2026-01-20; purse shaped card CR300-256
I took a plain A2 size card base, angled the edges, added a “handle” and it is now a purse shaped card. I didn’t think of adding a top flap to make it look more purse like until I was done. Maybe next time.
Thanks for stopping by.
2026-01-19; You light up my life! CR302-258
What do you do when there is a theme you don’t have a stamp for? Well, having been practicing zentangle I figured I could draw a light bulb, and I did!~ After drawing, coloring and fussy cutting I added the image to my stamped image. Speaking of zentangle, I also filled in the robot body with some zentangles.
