Less Is More 369

The theme for Less Is More 369 is bring something back.   I took out a Darice embossing folder I had sitting in my stash for a long time and some Studio G stamps from Michaels that were pretty lonely. With all the new stuff I have picked up lately, it was interesting to rifle…

Freshly Made Sketches 333

This is the sketch for Freshly Made Sketches 333: Here is my take on it: I also used the Pinkfresh Studio’s Little Love stamp set for this as well. The ink for the sentiment is Distress Oxide in Cracked Pistachio. Thanks for stopping by!   This card is available here. You can support A Bit…

Happy 2018! I hope the new year brings you much happiness. I have a super quick post to share a simple card with you.  The new year is a time of celebration for pretty much everyone, and although this card was made to mark an anniversary it feels appropriate for the beginning of this new…

A family member requested ten general-purpose greeting cards. I was a bit pressed for time so they are on the simple side of things, but sometimes basic is alright. My favourite I think is this cactus one. Sure they are probably soon on their way out trend-wise but they are still cute. I took out…

Just a quick share of a couple of cards. I was asked to make birthday cards a while ago for a 32nd birthday… my own! I am a big fan of the bright neon pink and the way the stenciled bunting came out. I didn’t have my Halloween crafting supplies on hand otherwise they probably…

birthday cards for my sister

My sister is by no means a girly-girl so I love to make cards for her. I like to break out the pink and frills once in a while, but a card for her is a welcome challenge. Here is what I came up with: Here, I inked up a bunch of wooden embellishments to…
