myStampBOX: Coffee Lover's Gift

I came across a cute idea for packaging a coffee shop gift card and used it for my son's teachers this year. It would work for anyone who loves coffee! Be sure to pop over to the myStampBOX blog today for all the details on this project.

myStampBOX: Grey & Kraft ALL PLAY

The designers at myStampBOX are filling up the blog with kraft- and grey-filled projects today. Here's a card I made for Father's Day using kraft in many ways. I used Straightforward for the sentiment and Road Trip on the background and stamps. Be sure to stop by the blog to see all the amazing creations!

myStampBOX: Faux Batik Backgrounds

I have seen the faux batik technique plenty of times but never actually tried it myself. It was very easy to do and created a stunningly-crisp background for my card. I used Striped Stems for my flowers and Small Greetings on this card.

Like this card and live near Indy? I'm teaching a faux batik background class at Gallery 116 in Fishers on June 20th at 1 PM. Message me if you want more details. Hope to see you there!

myStampBOX: Graduation Card

It's graduation season, and I was recently invited to an open house for a friend from our Taekwondo studio. I pulled together this card using Lots of Dots Sentiments and Bits and Pieces. By keeping the color scheme black and white with touches of silver, it was easy to coordinate papers, ink, ribbon, and twine. It's a touch of class for this grad!
