The texture from the new Amplify is so fluffy! It reminds me of a sheep's wool, so here's a fun and card that I created in celebration of Chinese New Year, the Year of the Sheep.

I am really loving the Bokeh effect trend that is appearing all around the web lately, I worked out with a few test pieces that you could re-create it relatively easily with the amazing Memento Luxe in Wedding Dress and a piece of cardstock with varying sized circles cut into it.
Valentine's Day always makes me think of red and pink – and those are the colors I chose to create this Clean and Simple greeting card, accented with a little bling heart in the bottom corner to carry the heart theme throughout this card.
The Radiant Neon inks make me happy... I adore the pop of color they give, especially against a black background! When I sat down to make this card, my goal was to make something lovey-dovey but still have it usable for a guy or a girl, and for any occasion that a 'hello' was needed. You never know when you'll need to grab a virtual hug from your stash to send out!
Last year I made a card I really loved for my husband, and I thought since Valentine’s Day was fast approaching I’d re-create it this year! I used a gray and yellow color scheme for the original version as it wasn’t an actual valentine.
I love a fantastic background paired with a great sentiment. Sometimes that's all you really need to create a great card - not a lot of layers or patterned paper. You can make your inks work for you in so many different ways, so why not show them off?
When asked to make a card that involves the Super Bowl, I was so excited because even though I am not a football fan, I at least knew that Seattle had a chance and they wear my favorite colors...Lime & Navy. I had an idea of where I was going with this card, but after it was finished I am thinking....why didn't I make it into a shaker card?!? So today you get two cards.
