Use Your Christmas Supplies for More than Christmas
It's not uncommon to think "I don't want to make that card, because I don't send______." Part of my job as your coach is to help you see beyond the obvious occasion to the possibilities beyond. That's what I attempted to do in the November Virtual Card Class on...
One of these cards has a secret inside
I love cards that aren't complicated but offer a bit of a wow, maybe even a secret inside. I like to use those designs in my card classes and personal crafting. At least once a quarter I host a game night on zoom. We love visiting with each other, playing games,...
Stamping on coffee cups and more
We interrupt Card Yahtzee to bring you stamping on coffee cups and so much more! I'm busy getting ready for Mistletoe Market this weekend. I'll have gift card holders, treat holders, Family Craft Night Kits, ornaments, and more. Even poop! I made a discovery while...
Have you tried paper piecing?
Paper piecing is quite a tongue twister to say, but the technique doesn't have to be complicated. I hope after you see my samples from today you'll try paper piecing. Full disclosure - This was a facebook live in August that never made it to the blog. It was a busy...
You need this shaker card
It's Wednesday which means it's time for Card Yahtzee, where a role of the dice provides the card recipe. The dice called for an over the top thank you card featuring the neutrals color family, texture, and blending. Just from the thumbnail you can see this isn't...

Welcome to the Tech 4 Stampers blog hop. I bet you couldn't guess, but this is my very first blog hop. Done is better than perfect. I'm blessed to be part of super talented group of demonstrators from around the world. I met them all when I started building my blog a...
Monochromatic cards are a favorite
It's Wednesday which means it's time for Card Yahtzee, where a role of the dice provides the card recipe. I got lucky that the roll last week indicated a monochromatic card, and a fellow Rubber Queen demonstrated a gorgeous one at the team gathering last night. Check...
Change your layers and change the look
The goal was to show 2 cards using the same supplies with only an 1/4" difference in the measurements. The look of the card is very different, much more than 1/4". I got there, but it wasn't smooth. First I discovered my camera was really in the way. Then I made a...
Wait what? Masculine but subtle colors?
I'm really starting to enjoy the challenge of finding a combination to meet the recipe. I'm not ready to design live, and I might never be. But I'm exploring creativity and expanding my designing. The dice suggested a recipe of Masculine, Subtle colors, DSP, Punches,...
