As soon as I saw this stamp from Craftin' Desert Divas "Hunny Bunny", I knew what I was going to make. Using a die from CCDesigns I created a little somethin'-somethin'. I wanted to make a fun Easter card and thought I would try my hand using the 2win Kirarina Oil-based Pens. They have two shades of color...Read More

Thinking Outside the Box

Posted on April 7, 2017January 10, 2019 by JenniferDove

Ever have a idea but you are too tired to get out of bed? Well that always happens to me...this idea I actually remembered by morning. This idea was a new way to texture card stock. Normally when I am texturing something I use a terry cloth or burlap or other textured textile. These items soak up the alcohol. My...Read More

Squidly Friend

This guy just made me smile. This is a new Stampendous! release. It has so much character and was a blast to color.

So in light of the whole April the Giraffe addiction I thought I would create this card. When everyone started watching her, people were saying she lays an egg when delivering...an egg, you heard right. Some people just don't have common sense I think. I thought this new stamp from Bloobel would be perfect. I used my multiliner to...Read More

Must Haves – Multiliners Fine Set

Posted on March 13, 2017January 10, 2019 by JenniferDove

I know I talked about the SP Multiliner (non-disposable) a few weeks back and how to refill and change out the nibs, but I thought I would touch a little on the disposable fine multiliners. There are so many different size options available. I always tell my student "don't accidentally buy the .005 instead of the .5, as the .005...Read More

Some times you just need a moment to do what you want to do! My list of things to do will always be a mile long, so no sense in waiting to get my list done first. I have been wanting to play with Karen Burniston's die - Dutch the Fox. I wanted to see if I could add Copics...Read More
