Please let me hear from you!

This blog is for sharing a love of paper crafting. I love paper crafting -
and Stampin' Up! products in particular -
so much so, that I became an independent Stampin' Up!®™ demonstrator earlier this year!
Full disclosure: I get a small commission on purchases made using links from this website - but this in no way affects your price. It just serves to help support this blog. Thank you in advance for that support!

Enjoy browsing my blog, and I'd love to hear from you.
It is what helps make the time I put into this blog feel worthwhile, and always brightens my day.

Cat House!


This card was made using stamps I got from a cardmaking magazine - images & words (Cardmaking and Papercraft Vol 204 (Jan 2020).  I heat embossed the stamped images with clear powder before coloring with my Inktense and Watercolor pencils.  The "wallpaper" is hand drawn on the plain white card after the main elements were in the room.  The patterned paper used for the mat was an old HOTP pattern.  I was working to fulfill a couple of challenges, so added two sequins to hold up the "picture" on the wall to fulfill the final necessary element of the challenge.  After taking the picture, but before I mailed it, I added "shadowing" by the plaque on the wall & the picture on the fireplace mantle.  That helped create a more cohesive look.
