New Product share & video tutorial on how to create sky through aspen trees

January 5, 2026

Last week I shared a video highlighting the new products I pre-ordered from both the 2026 Spring catalog and the newest Online Exclusives. I also shared some swaps using new products including this one I made:

This was made with a new stamp set called Aspen Grove. You might know I have a love for tree and leaf stamp sets so this was a definite ‘yes’ on my list. I made over 20 of these for my swap! But I like making multiples of cards I love.

I chose Old Olive, Black and Balmy Blue as my colors here. I knew I wanted a blue sky between the tree limbs so I had to figure out a way to do that. Mmm…..

Here’s what I did: I stamped the three tree limbs on a post it not and fussy cut around and between them. I then stamped on my White card stock and placed the post it note over the stamped image. Now I can add Balmy Blue ink over it all. Tip: I did add a bit more adhesive on the post it note but the best thing would be to use a post it note that is sticky all over (found at the office stores).

After I added the blue sky with a blending brush I stamped the tree leaves repeatedly at the top using Old Olive ink, stamping in both 1st & 2nd generation inks (stamping off once).
The greeting is from a new stamp set called Prayers & Promises.

Here’s the free project sheet you can download or print. Click here.

As you can see below the images in this set are mostly tree limbs and leaves. It’s what I like to call a ‘builder’ set where you can create your own scenes.

Did you spy the new embossing folder called Lovely Stripes? I placed it in the folder on the angle to add more interest. This folder and the stamp set will be available starting tomorrow – Tuesday, January 6th! Click here to shop.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and the new product shares too. I hope you watch! Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel here.

Tomorrow is the last day; get two pre-cut kits and save on shipping!

May 15, 2020
tomorrow is the last day to get either of my May pre-cut kits to go. I have two choices! You can choose one or both! If you want both I can combine shipping to save you money.

First is the Quick Cards kit; 10 cards including a few unique folds. And they're not all flowery either! Of course you can 'add' flowers if you'd like to……

This kit to go includes $20 in product AND a pre-cut cards kit; all for $28 plus shipping. The product alone costs just over $24 so you're getting the 10 cards kit for less than $4. It includes a full pack of 6 X 6" Regals designer series paper, a full spool of White Flax ribbon and 1/2 pkg. of Holiday rhinestones.

I used the So Sentimental stamp set on my cards. You can substitute any stamp set you own though.

There are three options for you with this kit. Purchase and see them all here.
1. First is the complete bundle that includes the pre-cut cards, product, pdf tutorial AND the So Sentimental stamp set for $59.50.
2. Second choice is the pre-cut cards kit, product and pdf tutorial for $36.
3. Lastly you can purchase just the pdf tutorial; with no kit or product for $15.
*I have a limited number of these kits available. If you want one; do not wait! Go here to get yours.

**If you are already subscribed to my monthly kits to go I have one of these set aside for you. Do not order another!

The second available kit includes these gorgeous cards! Stock up on your supply of masculine cards with this kit that requires NO stamping!

It includes $18 in products including 1/2 pkg of Come Sail Away Memories & More cards pack and Memories & More cards and envelopes plus a pre-cut kit needed to complete your cards. It also includes one package of Basic Brads, two spools of twine (Navy & Navy/Sahara Sand) and a few Sail Away trinkets.

I have a limited supply of this kit on hand because many of the products are retiring. Many of these items are on sale right now on the Last Chance list here.

Purchase it here by May 17th.

Both of these kits will be mailed out at the end of this month, which gives you some wonderful crafting time.

All Dressed Up dies make the cutest purse!

May 14, 2020

Look at these adorable purses made with the All Dressed Up dies!

The purse above is made with the Best Dressed designer series paper, Lovely Lipstick card stock and ribbon and one of the special tassels in the suite. You can see everything here.

These purses can be filled with candy, treats or even 3 X 3" cards. Decorate and finish them as you like; what a special gift!

The one below was included in my April cards kit to go and my Spring Retreat! The purse pieces are textured with the Hammered Metal embossing folder seen here. It has silver buckles and a button on the cute pocket in the front.

Here's a photo of the cards that are inside the purse above. They are the Best Dressed 3 X 3" note cards and envelopes seen here. They come in a pack of 24 and are on sale for just $4 right now! That's half off! They're perfect little add on's for gift cards.

Dressed to Impress meets Ornate Frames for a gorgeous hand made box!

May 13, 2020
These are the boxes I included in my Spring Retreat last month. I think they're gorgeous and was so happy with how they turned out!

They're hand made from White and Lovely Lipstick card stock with fussy cut flowers and leaves from the Best Dressed designer series paper added to the top. The greeting is from the Dressed to Impress stamp set. The pretty die-cuts are from the Ornate Frames & Ornate Border dies which are now available again! See them here.

Here's a picture of the assembly process:

Here are the box dimensions:
- Top is 3 3/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 3/4" on all sides
- Bottom is 3 5/8" X 5 3/8" and scored at 3/4" on all sides.
Tips:
- Once you have the box pieces cut and scored you can use the Ornate Border dies to die-cut the pretty windows in the sides.
- Cut the White frame using the Ornate Frames dies. Stamp the greeting and add fussy cut leaves and flowers.
- Fill with chocolate!
