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.

Golden Honey Scrapbook Class with a kit to go option

March 13, 2020

Scrapbooking was my first paper crafting hobby. Now I spend a lot more time making cards than I do scrapbook pages.

I just knew the Golden Honey specialty designer paper would make gorgeous layouts! This designer paper is no longer available during Sale-a-Bration but I have a supply of it for these classes.

I made 5 beautiful, unique layouts with 12 X 12" card stock. Because this paper is black and white based with some gold accents I could add lots of fun colors to create my layouts. I LOVE black and white with a pop of color on my projects!

Here's a full view of two of them. This first layout has Bermuda Bay as the main color with the Detailed Bee dies. The page title is from the Hand-Lettered Prose dies seen here.

Here's another one in all black and white with gold accents. I added daisy punched accents on this page.

There isn't any stamping on these pages; it's all pre-cut, punched or die-cut pieces. It also includes the embellishments too. All you need is adhesive so it's perfect to finish up at home!

The class is on Saturday, March 28th at 2 pm. The cost is $25 for all 10 pages. It's also available as a kit to go for both local and long distance customers. It's an extra $5 for shipping. RSVP by March 19th to receive a kit.

The kit includes everything you see; pre-cut pieces, die-cuts, photos and tips on assembly. Kits are mailed out at the end of March.

Lily Impressions DSP; make the most of your paper with this fun-fold card!

March 12, 2020
Do you struggle with double sided designer paper? What if you love both sides of the paper and cannot decide which one to use? Well I have a solution for you with this fun fold card!

I created these cards for my March thank you's for online orders. They feature the Lily Impressions designer paper from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here. One side of the papers is all water lilies with an impressionistic feel and the other has washed patterns. The colors are bright and vibrant!

On the above card the colors are Purple Posy with Blackberry Bliss and Garden Green. The pretty punched corners are from the Detailed Trio punch seen here.

The stamp set and dies are from my top pick for Bundles in the 2020 January – June mini catalog – the So Sentimental bundle seen here:

The front right panel opens on just one side. It's a perfect layout for your designer paper and all you need to do is add a punched or die-cut layer across both panels.

The colors on the card above are Pretty Peacock with Melon Mambo. I used the Pretty Peacock rhinestones as accents.

Which is your favorite?

Measurements:
- Card stock is 4 1/4" X 9" scored at 5 1/2"
- Designer paper on the left is 3 1/4" X 4"; card stock on the right is 1 7/8" X 4"
- The inside white layer is 3 1/4" X 4"
- Melon Mambo banner is 1" X 4 1/4"

Mountain Air with Stitched Nested Labels

March 11, 2020
This month I'm featuring the Mountain Air bundle; a fantastic set of stamps and dies that make creating scenes so easy. I created 10 beautiful scenic cards to share with anyone who orders this bundle from me this month. It's also free to anyone who places an online order. *Details below

Here's one of my favorites made with the Stitched Nested Label dies and the Stone embossing folder.

The Stitched Nested Label dies are in the annual catalog and you can see them here online.

You might wonder how I achieved the textured white washed background. I first textured the Smoky Slate card stock with the Stone 3D embossing folder. Then I lightly rubbed my White Craft ink pad directly onto the card stock. Let dry or heat set with an embossing tool. Such a fabulous look!

The Stone 3D embossing folder is part of the Power of Hope bundle from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here. It's free with the Power of Hope stamp set for any $100 order while supplies last. It's already on the low inventory list!

Other details:
- Colors are Smoky Slate, Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray and Whisper White
- The trees are stamped in Pretty Peacock; one in full strength ink and the other second generation ink (stamped off once). They're die-cut with the Majestic Mountain dies.
- The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set (one you can get FREE with the purchase of the Starter kit! #BestDealEver!)
