A friend of mine recently moved out of her previous accommodations. For the first time in her life, she is living her on life. This friend has always felt close with the character pictured here, especially since the musical was released. So when she escaped her own tower, I wanted to help commemorate the event!Read More

Mildly Offensive Paper Crafting
Ew, David! Where’s the Diversity?
Do you know what I find truly offensive? The lack of diversity in the crafting world. Sure, you’ll find a handful of Crafters of Color (CoC) and male crafters, but the space is largely dominated by white women. It’s easy to get involved in a hobby when everyone already looks like you – you automaticallyRead More

Valentines for Gamers
My husband and I aren’t big celebrators of arbitrary holidays. Valentine’s Day is especially low on our list. Now that I make cards, however, I have a lot more fun celebrating whatever occasions come up! All the V-Day cards I’d seen around Facebook and Instagram were all pinks, super cutesy, and just not really us.Read More

Always There for You
Recently, I acquired Kindred Stamps’ Childhood Friends stamp set. I’d had my eyes on it for a while, so I jumped at the opportunity to own it when it was made available! Upon receipt of the set, I promptly stamped out 4 sheets containing each of the characters, and spent the next week and aRead More

Birthday in Grey
I had a lot of fun with Taylored Expressions’ Gifted stencil and background stamp. These products are designed to work together perfectly, and they definitely did the trick! Every now and then, you get the chance to bulk create cards that you really like. I rocked the stencil for 4 matching backgrounds by ink blendingRead More

Cards for Colleagues
As the resident card maker at my school, it often comes down to me when there’s a birthday, illness, or someone leaves for a new job. This first card is for a colleague who was doing just that – abandoning us! As a coffee mug hoarder, it was easy to pull out Ink Road’s MugRead More
