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.

Life is Beautiful with So Much Happy? Yes!

October 27, 2020

Here are two more cards I created on a Facebook Live for Demonstrators last week. It was such an honor to be asked to present cards highlighting my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful.

Unfortunately I cannot share the video but I can share the projects!

Which one do you prefer? Blues & purples or rainbow colors? Here they are separately:

I used Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party and stamped the Bokeh dots image.

Then I added the Happy die-cut across it at an angle. I also cut a separate White CS strip to place under the Happy die-cut. The 'to celebrate you' is from the So Much Happy stamp set stamped on a die-cut from the Ornate Frames dies.

Have you decided on your favorite yet?

I'll be sharing another card with my Life is Beautiful stamp set tomorrow. Do you have yours yet? If not go here to order!

Life is Beautiful Fancy Fold card with Plaid Tidings

October 26, 2020
Check out this pretty fancy fold card in rich but unusual fall colors!

The colors are Pumpkin Pie with Blackberry Bliss taken from the pretty Plaid Tidings designer paper seen here. Stampin' Up! is amazing at color combination with the papers. This versatile paper is on sale through October!

I created this on a recent Facebook Live. I'll share the dimensions for you here:

Measurements:
- Blackberry Bliss – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" for back and 4" X 11" scored at 2" and 3 3/4" from each end
- Pumpkin Pie 3 3/4" square
- Very Vanilla – 2 pieces at 3 1/2" square plus a scrap for the die-cut
- Plaid Tidings DSP – 2 pieces at 4" X 3/4"
Details:
- I stamped the tree in Early Espresso and the leaves in Pumpkin Pie & Blackberry bliss, stamping off once or twice first.
- I added a few 'Sequins for Everything' among the leaves.
- The greeting label is cut with the Ornate Frames dies and sponged with Pumpkin Pie ink.
I hope you like it! I'll be sharing lots more cards with my Life is Beautiful stamp set this week! Do you have yours yet? If not go here to order!

Have a Hoot Bundle; for Christmas!

October 23, 2020
At first I thought this bundle was just for Halloween. But when looking at the images provided it works wonderfully for Christmas too!

I made these cards on Facebook Live last week. I've been working with the beautiful Snowflake Splendor designer paper all week; it's simply gorgeous and in so many of my favorite colors!

Here's the first one. Did you know the Peek-a-Hoot dies cut out all 3 window at once?! There's no measuring or figuring out placement at all. You can see the video below.

I stamped directly onto the Snowflake Splendor designer paper here. I love the pretty purple/blue background! The two owls are die-cut using the same die set. I added a bit of color to them with Blends markers and finished with a bit of Balmy Blue glimmer accents and Adhesive Backed Snowflake Sequins.

This next card uses two of the tags left when die-cutting the windows on the card above. I did cut out one extra. I stamped and colored directly on them.

Other details:
- A glimmer die-cut star covers up the 'spider' on the center panel.
- The Highland Heather panel (4" X 5 1/4") is embossed with the Winter Snow embossing folder.
- the 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip of Snowflake Splendor DSP is under the three stamped tags.
- The greeting tag is punched with the Everyday Label punch; start with a 1/2" white strip. Stamp and punch.
