Urban Bird with Gears

I love to use gears on my projects.  Even though I'm not a huge steampunk fan, I love the masculine element it brings.  That dangling chain is just the perfect addition.

Motorcycle Card

I was so out of my comfort zone with this card.  It was super challenging for me to work with limited colors. The moodboard inspired me to have a masculine theme. I think the motorcycle idea worked well in the end and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. The laser cut gears really brought the stamped background to life.

CAS Wonderful Dew Drop Card

I created a super quick CAS card with a single stamp. First, I stamped a simple background with black ink by repeatedly stamping the same image to cover the card base. Then, I let the Dew Drops be the star of the show. The bright translucent Dew Drops make an outstanding contrast against the bold background design.  Take a trip to the Robin's Nest Blog (HERE) to see the complete step by step directions.

Be Strong Card

Hey Girls,
Look how easy it is to make a simple frame with Dew Drops. It looks so very elegant to embellish the feature element of a card with an extra special frame instead of just matting the image.  Sadly, this card is my last project for The Robin's Nest DT in 2020 but I will be continue on the DT in the New Year. You can find the tutorial for the card HERE.

Deck the Halls with Berries

Hey There,
It was so simple to use red Dew Drops to create holly berries and quickly embellish my handmade Christmas cards.  This is a great way to give added dimension to your cards this year.  Go check out the tutorial on the Robin's Nest Blog.  Christmas is right around the corner so it's time to get creating!

The Witch is In

My card has many elements but the single spider attached by a silver thread is my favorite part.  It will fly freely when the card is touched to add a bit of fright & delight!  The spider web background adds a subtle spookiness which looks especially delightful after I added some glittering highlights with a shimmer gel pen.

Happy Halloween!
