Zany Zoo CAS




I love these images from the Zany Zoo set. And the simplicity of this set of cards! The images were colored with alcohol ink markers. The sentiments were from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set.

Classic Trucks card

 I don't know about you, but I often struggle with ideas for a masculine card. I love this classic truck from the Trucking Along set item # 162299. It is available for purchase in the online exclusives. I also love that the truck comes with a coordinating punch - super simple to create multiple. 


The truck is a two-step stamping, so the background color is from a stamp. The "best wishes" makes it a nice all occasion card. Simple, fun, masculine - ya!


Quilt Card Template

Hello. I came across a posting for this fun quilt card and I thought I would share the process with you. It is such a great way to use up paper scraps! 

What you need: 

  • 8 1/2' x 5 1/2' for card base
  • 4" x 5 1/4" background panel piece (in my case I used gray)
  • (2) 1" x 5 1/2" strips of patterned paper
  • (11) 1" x 4" strips of patterned paper 
You could get away with less than the 11 pieces because you will only be using only a small corner or an inch or so on some of the pieces. 

Place your background panel down and begin by adhering the two longest diagonal pieces  - okay to let the edges overhang the panel. From there, use the template below to see placement of the remaining pieces. Just get the placement right with a small revealed border around each piece that you adhere. Don't worry about the overhanging edges - once all are attached, you will trim the edges down to the size of the background panel. Easy peasy!



This cute sentiment came from the Perennial Postage set item # 162598 in the mini catalog. To shop now:

Perennial Postage


A card for a sweet friend using the PERENNIAL POSTAGE bundle. The stem is from the ARTISTIC dies. The background is the EXPOSED BRICK 3D ef and the PAINTED TEXTURE 3D ef. I used the blending brushes and applied Rich Razzleberry and Concord Grape to the die cut stem for an hombre effect.
