Home (Again)

Over at Jingle Belles, Stephanie and I are still creating cards inspired by HOME. You can include a house on your card, use home-like products (bricks, woodgrain, etc) or incorporate the word HOME. Here's my card:


Another super-scrappy creation here. It's got a couple of designer paper off-cuts, a random tag, chipboard as well as ordinary stickers, five (5!) styles of ancient washi tape and a tiny car cut from patterned paper. Fun fact: The "12 Days" chipboard sticker has been in my stash for AT LEAST ten years... and I cannot decide if that fact is triumph or tragedy...?

Remember you still have until next Wednesday evening (9/8/25) to join the fun for JB2520: Home for the Holidays.

Enamel Accents Googly Eyes Halloween Card

What's more fun than a Halloween card covered in googly eyes? A card covered in googly eyes you've made yourself, in every size and shape you could desire, using Enamel Accents! Hop over to the Ranger Project Tutorials Page and follow along as I show YOU how to do it... then stay to see how I add the eyes to this fun and funky (pink!) Halloween card.

Spoiler Alert: Dina Wakley's Scribbly Ravens and Block Alpha Stamp Sets also play a crucial part in this project, as does Simon Hurley's Moroccan Tile Background Stamp, some fab Archival Inks, and a few shades of Ranger Embossing Powder, including Glow Up, which is very cool in two ways: #1 it glows in the dark(!); and #2 in ordinary light, it makes the perfect neutral, especially when used on Black Heavystock (just sayin').
