December 9, 2025

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.

Happiest Day card with video tutorial; a simple layout with a gorgeous look

October 14, 2024
On last week's Live video I chose the Happiest Day stamp set as my featured product. It was discounted during the 3 day stamp sale but you can see it here. Here's one of the cards I made:

Save

I chose to use our 2023-25 In Colors; Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop along with Black. We have glimmer paper in these colors too so I added three strips to the card base at a diagonal. See it here. The strips adds a bit of a whimsical look that matches these cute dragonflies.

Here's how I stamped the inside.

Save

For the hearts I used that same glimmer paper along with the Humble Home Builder punch (out of stock currently).

The circle die-cut for the greeting is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. These dies are back in stock now! The White rectangle is a die-cut from the Deckled Rectangles seen here.

Save

I did not make a project sheet for this card since it's so simple.

Here are the measurements:
- White card base – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", White deckled rectangle die-cut 2 5/8" X 3 7/8", circle die-cut1 5/8"
- Black – 2 3/4" X 4 1/8"
- Glimmer paper strips – 5 1/4" X 3/8"
Check out the video below; I share one more unique card with a special edge technique and a few other ideas as well.
