Little Valentines – Print and Color

I’ve posted valentine and love themed freebies before, so decided to actually print and color up a card for today. I also have a lot of cute digital stamps in my shop and many are free to try as well. I gathered up my favorites and printed them out to color with my Copics… but ended [...] Continue reading »

Little Valentines – I Heart You with a Chocolate Kiss

For a medical themed card, I printed my own design of a literal heart for my little valentine card. It’s sort of like corny humor, but I guess I can be really corny at times! My husband watches Grey’s Anatomy, so I think he’ll appreciate the medical humor. You can download the printable stationery post [...] Continue reading »

Little Valentines – U & Me Card

I wanted to use my alphabet stamps and randomly just stamped out “U & ME” in red ink. So I decided to use that little sentiment for a tiny little tent card. I added a bit of ribbon to anchor it all on the left side, but it’s really simple – no frills. I’m writing [...] Continue reading »

Little Valentines – Packet of Hearts, Candy, Chocolate

My husband and I never really celebrate Valentine’s Day with big gestures or all the commercial stuff. We think it’s just that, an overblown commercial holiday.

However, there are times when it would be nice to get a crisp image and that’s why I also love digital stamping. Not [...] Continue reading »

I know that toothpick flags have been around for a while now and it’s no wonder how popular they are in scrapbooking and cardmaking. Toothpick flags are just so darn cute! The supplies I like use are often difficult to find here in Italy. So I’ve decided to create my own through trial and error. [...] Continue reading »

Copic Love

I’m probably not the first person to have fallen in love with Copics before truly understanding how it all works. I had first been exposed to the Copic brand through the manga community and used their black multiliner pens for drawing. But after seeing the beautiful coloring techniques of many cardmakers and scrapbookers – I [...] Continue reading »

Cardmaking Update

Lately I haven’t had a lot of time for crafty projects, although they are piling up on my shelf. I often get an idea and start it up or gather the materials straight away, but then it gets filed away in a clear pocket to be completed later. Probably giving myself more pressure than needed, [...] Continue reading »
