Fantastic card with the Merry Christmas stamp with a free project sheet & video

December 9, 2025

Today is the last day to get in on the Cyber Monday sale on Paper Pumpkin subscriptions.

Save big on a 3 month, 6 month or 12 month subscription. I love getting a crafty box in the mail each month!

Go here to subscribe.

The font on this Merry Christmas stamp sold me on it. Just a little bit of the fun, curviness I love.

This Merry Christmas stamp is a true classic with a bit of that Victorian feel to it. I don’t often keep retired stamps but I will keep this one! It’s on sale now too; while supplies last. Click here to see it.

I paired it with the Traditions of Christmas designer paper here. It’s discounted and on the Last Chance list here. However it’s currently out of stock but should be back next week.
A bit of holly and berries with some ribbon and you’re done! As you can see I added the same DSP to my envelope flap. Now that makes a card extra special!

This next one features the Need for Tweed designer series paper. See that here. Fun prints with lots of texture. It’s also on sale right now and available while supplies last.

I stamped the inside with greetings from the Traditional Labels stamp set.

Aren’t they a beautiful set of cards! I will be making more of these and it’s a bonus that it uses up a nice piece of designer paper. No hoarding it!

Here’s the free project sheet for you. Click here to download or print it.

Stack & Cut card technique; make 4 quick cards with your Designer Paper

April 25, 2022
On tonight's FB Live we're making Stack & Cut cards! Monday, April 25th at 7:30 pm here on my FB page.

If you can't watch it live it will be on my YouTube channel here.

Save

I chose to use the Heart & Home designer paper and the Blessings of Home stamp & dies bundle (seen here) for these pretty cards. This designer paper is retiring at the end of May. I like the fact that each sheet has a white wood pattern on one side.

Save

Here's now to make these Stack & Cut cards: Choose 4 different patterns of Designer Paper and then cut them into pieces using the template below.

Sort the pieces so one piece of each pattern fits on each card front. You'll create 4 different but similar cards quickly! Embellish as you'd like.

Save

Here's a photo of the pieces I started with.
- 4 full cards of Pale Papaya – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
- 4 Garden Green pieces at 4" X 5 1/4"
- the 16 pieces of Designer Paper – cut from the 4 pieces of DSP you started with
Save

Here's the template I used for the 4 pieces of Designer Paper. Choose patterns that coordinate in color. I love this way of using our beautiful double sided designer paper!

Tip: it's best if the patterns have a variety of sizes in their patterns.

Save

The Flowers of Home dies (seen here) are delicate with many leaves & flower options.

Join me here tonight at 7:30 pm CT to see how easy it is to make 4 quick cards with the Stack & Cut technique.

Artfully Layered birthday card with video

April 22, 2022

Here's another pretty card I made during last week's FB Live. I featured the Artfully Layered bundle from the Jan-June Stampin' Up! catalog.

Save

The colors include Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green with White. I used three different dies in the Tropical Layers dies. The rick-rack border, the leaf and the crosshatch texture. See the bundle here.

Save

The greeting is heat embossed on the Coastal Cabana CS strip using White embossing powder. Adding heat embossing to your project steps it up a lot!

Save

Tip: get two colors from one ink pad. Note the two shades of Coastal Cabana on the leaves on the lower left of the card? I stamped off for the multiple leaves image once for a lighter hue.

The Faux Sea Glass Shapes are back in stock! Get them here.
