Who said designing is all about connecting dots? An encouragement theme, some gingham and a stamp set of traffic signs and alphabets by Gel∙à∙tins, I came up with this card: I used the B sides of Farm Field Stripe Paper, Cherry Pie Paper and Sweet Floral Paper from Country Charm collection by GCD Studios. I used a lollypop stick and two brads to hold the sign. I wanted to keep the background soft so that the road sign and the car silhouette can pop.  Polka dots would have been too sweet for the theme but ginghams were just perfect! I hand drawn the...

Have you noticed the mini envelope trend? I went ahead and made a bunch with some envelope dies and patterned paper from Lifestyle Crafts. Most of the patterns I used were double sided solids - I added the texture with background stamps from Hero Arts. The banner and the bigger envelope dies are from the same set. The best part is that I can use whatever paper I need to match my projects! How about some neon eyelet envelopes? :)  "Smile" from Flower Garden by Hampton Art. This paper is my favorite from Sweet and Spicy Collection. Some of the...

Just saying Hi~ :) Today I am sharing a card using a loop border to create a frame:) I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to help me connect the two ends together :) The sweet patterned paper is Bubblegum from Sweet Tooth collection by GCD Studios.
