I celebrate my Birthday in February and either subconsciously or purely by coincidence I happened to make a bunch of Birthday cards this month! I wonder why
Hello and welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video! Today I have a simple numbered Birthday Card idea to share using a few current favorite supplies from Simon Says Stamp. My card is for 25th Birthday, but you can change the number to be anything you need, from 1st birthday to 99th! Like this project?...
How do you feel about mustard, olive and lavender? I’m talking about colors of course, colors on a card more specifically. This is not a color combo I can ever remember myself using, but I gave it a try the other day. The result? I don’t know, I have mixed feelings about it, but would...

Hello, friends! I’m about to start packing for a few weeks long to China for work (leaving sometime next week), but I wanted to get a few blog post ready and in the queue so that my blog doesn’t appear completely deserted. I tend to travel often for both work and pleasure, but usually not...
Hello, hello friends! I’m typing this blog post from a hotel room in China. We are here on a month long work trip and that means I’m away from my craft room. While I’m not making any new projects I still have a few that I’ve made beforehand to share. Here’s one for cat-lovers! Like...
Do you wish you had more crafty friends living in your area? All of my cardmaking girlfriends live far, far away, many in different countries and I typically get to see them once a year at trade shows (that’s why I love going to these shows so much!) or crafty retreats or just connect with...
Sympathy cards are not something you ever want to give or make, but sometimes you just have to. Today I have an example of a very simple sympathy card you can make if needed. Thankfully, I wasn’t needing one, I made it for just in case. Like this project? Pin it and save for later...
Hello and welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video! If you live in a warmer climate, you probably enjoy beautiful greenery outside all year round. But if you are like me, and live in one of the colder parts of the world, chances are, by now you are dreaming of Spring, double digit temperatures (if you...

Hello friends and happy Monday! It’s been so chilly and gloomy down here lately, I cannot wait for Spring to arrive. Guilty to admit we still have our Christmas decor up (simply because I haven’t had time to put it all away), but I’m planning to take it down as soon as I can find...

Hello and welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video! Today I’m bringing you a floral Spring inspired Thank You card with alcohol marker coloring on colored cardstock. I’m not one to have master coloring skills, but I am the kind of person who will try the unexpected to see if it works. And today that unexpected...
Hello, friends! I always try to keep an eye out for various new trends and one of the trends I’ve been seeing a lot of lately, mostly in fashion, is color blocking. If you follow my blog, you might remember this 4-color color blocked card with fruits I shared a few weeks ago and today...

I feel like it’s been ages since I last made a floral card and truth be told, I’ve kind of missed that. I was looking through some of my old projects the other day, I often do this for inspiration, and I came across some flower cards I made for Altenew years ago when I...

Hello, friends! I love color and all things bring, bold and cheerful. As I was relaxing in my craft corner the other day I was inspired to make several Color Blocked cards (in a way, similar to this Valentine’s Day card I shared back in December). Like this project? Pin it and save for later...
Floral stamping is what got me hooked up on stamping on handmade cards in the first place and it’s kind of been awhile since I last just stamped some simple one layer cards without any tricks or techniques. I’ve missed that and decided to stamp a few super simple cards today. Like this project? Pin...
