December 9, 2025

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.

Karen made this fun fold card using the Bunches of Fun stamp set seen here.

Her colors are Black, White & Crushed Curry. She also used a fun technique called Paper Piecing. She stamped the gal onto Pattern Party DSP and fussy cut the dress out. Love this!!

See that texture on the large Crushed Curry layer? That's a sneak peak from the upcoming Holiday catalog. It's called Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.

Next is another Sneak Peak card made by Lori. She used the new Penguin Place bundle in the Holiday catalog. It includes a cute Penguin punch!

She added a layer of White to her Balmy Blue card base and torn the upper edge. She added a bit of Wink of Stella to the torn area for snow. A super fun winter birthday card!

Another Nature’s Harvest sample – Sneak Peak!

July 23, 2021

I created this card for an online swap I participated in. I love to join card swaps! I can create one card and make multiples of it. Then I get a nice variety back that I didn't have to think of! Plus I receive cards that may not be my style but are my customers style. Isn't it wonderful that we are all different?!

I decided to focus on the 'blues' in the Harvest Meadow designer series paper. I am usually very happy with a monochromatic card. They can be very easy on the eye.

Save

I cut out two of the 'tall flower/botanical' die-cut in White CS and adhered it to the largest tags in the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here. I added a bow in White Baker's Twine. The greeting is one of the dies in the Nature's dies along with the tall flowers.

The Nature's Harvest bundle can be found in the upcoming 2021 Holiday July/December Mini Catalog. If you're on my customer list you should be receiving this catalog AND your Sale-a-Bration catalog any day now. This catalog goes live on August 3rd along with Sale-a-Bration too!

In this photo you may be able to spy the texture on the tag. It's called Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder. It's subtle design will be a favorite of many!
