I made a sample card, but accidentally printed too fast on regular paper instead of cardstock. I didn’t want to waste paper, so went ahead with constructing it, realizing it wasn’t too bad afterall. However, I think cardstock would be a sturdier type of paper to use for most cardmakers. Enjoy this freebie and let me know what you think!

Looking for a free printable library card template? Here are some mock printables for decorating your books and papercrafting.
Another week means another free printable for you!
As I work on designs, sometimes there are extras left over that I put up as a free download here on the blog. It’s nice to be able to share something that others can use in their crafting. The more the merrier!
Here’s an example of something that I wanted to create, just because library journaling cards have been all the rage in papercrafting. They seem to be popping up all over, in scrapbooking and cardmaking.
Although it would be great to find real vintage library cards to incorporate into projects, it’s nice to have a printable version that I can repeatedly use. Print as many copies as you like!
Here’s my free printable library card template in a couple of styles.

Looking for some pretty and free flower digital stamps? Download these designs for coloring, cardmarking and scrapbooking fun!
Hi everyone! I’m getting more organized these days and trying to get weekly features up on this blog, including digital card designs as well as freebie digital stamps. Here’s a free set of floral patterns, along with a gerber daisy. You can use the florals in a background pattern design or just individually for a beautiful card.
I’ve also realized that digital stamp designs can also be used for embroidery. The possibilities I suppose are only limited by your imagination! I came up with these while working on repeating pattern designs – often doodling just happens – so I thought it would be nice to share.

Sometimes I design something, but then get distracted and totally forget about it. For this particular design I had run out of printer ink and couldn’t complete the card. Even when I bought more ink, I had already moved on to the next project and forgot that I had designed this hybrid card design. I thought I would post it anyone and see what you all think about this idea. It all started when I was inspired by a Jessica Sprague class on digital cardmaking. I was opened up to the possibilities of creating hybrid handmade cards, but not just printing out an image to color with copics. It’s such a creative eye-opener, so I decided to design one myself from scratch.

I created a simple card sketch and using the advantages of digital design to create my patterned paper. However, the card requires assembly with some sewing and added ribbon for that handmade touch and tactile feel. Of course, you could probably use the materials for a different card…I just happened to design it for that sketch. Let me know what you think, if you find these little projects fun and useful. Yay for hybrid card designs!

Happy Wednesday to everyone! Today I was playing around with drawing a sun for the cover of a mini scrapbook project and ended up with a bunch of versions.
I think that it’s always a good creative exercise to do multiple versions of something. It’s my way of experimenting with multiple options and seeing how little changes effect the end result.
Either way it’s just fun! I always end up with something quite different from my original idea as well. It’s a great way to play-storm… like brainstorm you know? Of course, now I really can’t decide which one I like the best. Perhaps I can combine them in some way? It seems I am never bored of the drawing suns. I’ve noticed that I morph it into a flower oftentimes. Are they suns or flowers?

Whether they be suns or flowers or suns dressed up as flowers or vice versa – I hope you can use them in your personal crafting projects. Feel free to download the PDF above with all the variations and let me know what you think. Hopefully I can share my little book project with you as well… ciao ciao for now.
