Cardmaking is my jam! I enjoy using rubber stamps and scrapbooking materials to make my own homemade cards. I use Stampin' Up products for a lot of my cards.

Here is an idea for a Valentine Treat bag for giving away treats. If you have a small heart punch and some cardstock, you're ready. The best part is that it requires no stamping and can literally be done in less than 10 minutes!

Some fun scrapbooking paper storage ideas for your cardstock and regular paper.

If you have any stamps with line images, you can create a page or card using the paper piecing technique. Images are typically colored with marker, watercolor pencils, chalk, etc., then cut out and arranged. Stampin' Up has a great sample using the Happy Heart Day stamp set.

How to make fun -- and cheap -- embellishments for your handmade cards or scrapbook pages using doily lace hearts.

Scrapbook stores located in the Opry Mills Mall in Nashville, Tennessee.

Using plain self-adhesive address labels that you can buy just about anywhere, you can create a mosaic look for cards and scrapbook pages.

The Christmas Holiday is over, and I missed out on getting handmade cards out to many of my friends and family. As a way to make up for that -- at least in my mind I can make up for it -- I can send out a handmade Thank You card for those who's gifts meant so much to me.

This morning on the Today Show, they were discussing if it is 'ok' to recycle gifts. I typically don't recycle gifts, but I am guilty of recycling gift cards. This is the season for gift cards, so if you have stamping or scrapbooking supplies....this one is for you.

Your kids can help with this card idea - using a snowflake punch, 'make' some snowflakes that they can glue to cards to create their own designs for giving to friends, teachers, or anyone else who is special in their life.
