I like pretty things!

Clean and Simple Boutique Cards
This class had so many fun and inspiring ideas. I never thought about adding my own lines to the images, but it was a fun way to add some different detail to my card. For this card I used the solid stamp to stamp the image and then with a very fine black felt tip […]
Celebration stencil techniques
I miss you handmade card Hi everyone, happy Friday! I got to spend some fun time today taking an Altenew Card Class and then going straight up into my stuido to make a card. This class was so inspiring! I had so much fun using embossing paste, stencils, inks and the Hug me stamp set […]
Beyond Basic Backgrounds
Altenew sure has some amazing classes and I really enjoyed this one! I love how these classes really get me out of my comfort zone. It makes me look at stamps differently. When I see a stamp set, I see it being the main star of the card, the focal point. This class taught me […]
Beautiful Details
In this class, I learned all about adding beautiful details to the card. It had a lot to do with coloring. I am by no means an expert at coloring. I learned a lot in the class, and it is going to take lots of practice to fine tune my skills. But with the card […]
Just Because

Layering stamps to create a beautiful flower card
