Beautiful Autumn themed card swaps by my Team.

November 4, 2026

Today I’m sharing two card swaps by my talented team members. Our theme was Autumn or Halloween.

First is a stunning card made by Tracey. She used the new Stampin’ Hot Foil system here:

I was absolutely blown away by this card! She used the Lustrous Leaves hot foil dies seen here. It includes a set of masks that allow you to add gorgeous colors using Blending Brushes.

Here’s a photo of the bundle:

Her colors include Lost Lagoon with Crisp Cantaloupe. The silver hot foil details really makes the leaves stand out!

The greeting is stamped on a Spotlight on Nature die-cut. See those here.

Next is a sweet fall card made by Candy.

She used the Simple Leaves bundle seen here.

Her colors include Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Berry Burst and Old Olive. The neat embossing folder is called Textured Tree Ring and can be found here. It’s on the Last Chance list and available while supplies last. It’s reduced in price too!

I’ll share another Team swap card tomorrow; stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 26, 2020

I hope you can enjoy a very Happy Thanksgiving today! I know many of us cannot be with the family or friends like we're used to. It's so difficult with this pandemic; tough times and even tougher decisions!

I received this cute card from my friend Pat this week. I wanted to share it with you with my seasonal wishes for you and your family.

She used my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful seen here. You might think this is for Halloween; but she has a two black cats and I have one so this fit us both!

If you aren't on Facebook you might not know about my stamp set challenge. I found out how many of these stamp sets have been sold so far worldwide and had my FB Live followers guess. What's your guess??

As of two weeks ago Stampin' Up! has sold over 16,000 sets! That's 176% over their predicted amount! Whoop! I'm thrilled with how you all like it!

I bet this year many of us will be giving gift cards more than ever. This social distancing is hard but during the Holiday's it's going to be so tough! If you are missing celebrating with your family this year I feel for you. Holidays are meant to be enjoyed together. But if it keeps us and them safe I'm sure it's the right decision. But we don't have to like it, right?!

Here's a fun gift card holder you can make to give those gift cards in.

I made one during last week's Facebook Live but you can see the video below, or here on my YouTube Channel.

The measurements are as follows:
- 5” X 4 ¼” – score at ½” and 2 ¾", *get 4 from one sheet of CS
- White tag – 2” X 6” scored at 4”, Black band is 1” X 5”
- White rectangle die-cut (Stitched So Sweetly) is 2 3/4" X 1 5/8"
*The gift card is the last project on the video below; you can fast forward through the cards if you'd like.

Products Used:

Tag Buffet stamp set, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Fancy Tag Topper Punch, Red, White & Black CS, Blends markers, rhinestones

Remember you can find me here on Facebook 6 times a month!
