I really did play with the ‘Playing with Patterns’! Check out the video!


I had a lot of fun mixing up the patterns in this super cute designer paper on a Facebook Live video.  *See it below. 

First is a play on triangles. These pieces are just 3/4" wide X 3" long! What a fun way to use your scraps!!

Cut 6 pieces of Designer Paper at 3/4" X 3" and then cut each one from one corner to the opposite one.  Now you can piece these together on a contrasting piece of card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4".  Be sure to watch the video below to see how it's done.  

The greeting circle is from the Painted Label dies and the greeting is from the Pattern Play stamp set.  See the entire suite of Playing with Patterns products here. 

Next is a fun card where you cut narrow strips of designer paper and piece them onto a background sheet.  Just offset them slightly to create a 'Bargello' look. This is a quilting technique perfect for striped paper! 

Which one is your favorite?  The colors are Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy. 

I like the one below as the Bargello look is more apparent with the dark Navy strips.   The greeting dies are from one of my favorites; the Stitched So Sweetly dies in the annual catalog seen here.  

Get the details on creating these techniques in the video below.

Remember I host Facebook Live videos 6 times a month!  Each Tuesday at 11 am Central Time and the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm CT.  Check them out here: 

This video is from a few weeks ago and the card kits mentioned are sold out. The pdf tutorials are still available however. Click here to see them.

  • Timeless Arrangements with Countryside Inn DSP; all new!


    I've been super busy prepping for my new catalog launch party tomorrow.  If you're in or near Minot, ND please stop in at 1st Lutheran Church from 10-12:30 pm. There's lots to see!!

    I always join a few online swaps so I can get great samples for my display boards. I made this pretty card for one of them.

    I chose the Timeless Arrangements bundle and added squares of Countryside Inn designer series paper.  I've used this layout before and thought it would work well with the dies in the Timeless Arrangements bundle.  

    Ad you can see on the dies shown below there are 4 different dies that they've added a long piece to; it's perfect to add to the stitched greeting dies for layering.  And they're spaced differently so they layer perfectly with each other!

    My colors are Balmy Blue, Night of Navy with a splash of Lemon Lime Twist. I'm so glad this happy color is back in our color line! 

    The new catalog goes live May 2nd; you can order from it then.  In the meantime don't forget that you are welcome to pre-order either my In Color bundle (details here) or my new Designer Paper Share (details here)

  • In Color bundle special offer ends May 1st!


    Each year with the new in colors release I offer my customers a special In Color Bundle.  I include lots of items so you have perfectly coordinating products to create with. 

    I created these CUTE cards with all 5 new In Colors and the Crafting with You bundle. 

    I used many products that are included in my special bundle: card stock, ink, ribbons, dots and designer series paper.  They're a great example of all you can create when your products coordinate so perfectly. 

    If you look closely you can see that I stamped a background in each color of ink using the new Cheerful Daisies stamp set. 


    Look at the die-cutting machine; it even has textured paper going through it!  I did that by cutting a slit with my craft knife. The large white angled die-cut is made with the new Countryside Corners dies.  

    Everyone who pre-orders my In Color bundle will receive a free bonus of a ribbon share & In Color dots too!

    In Colors include: Pebbled Path, Moody Mauve, Copper Clay, Boho Blue & Wild Wheat

    Interested in the In Color bundle? There are three choices for you through May 1st:

    Option 1: Get the 5 ink pads, 5 ink refills, 20 sheets 8 1/2" X 11" cardstock, 10 sheets new 6" In Color DSP and get the free ribbon share & in Color gems. $93 (*Long distance customers add $8.50 for Priority shipping for options 1 or 2) 

    Option 2: Get all of the In Color items above PLUS 5 new In Color Blends markers – pay for 4 and get 1 FREE. Cost $142 total

    Option 3: Add on the new Designer Paper share to either option 1 or 2 – 80 sheets of 6 X 6" DSP. Cost is $28.50. *see photo below.  *click here to order it separately. 

    *Long distance customers message me here if you'd like one of these options and I'll send you an invoice. 

    Here are another fabulous group of cards with these in colors, created by Sue Stampfield. She shared these cards in a swap group I'm in with her.  She used the Circle Sayings bundle; another new product you can get on May 2nd!  *or earlier if you are a Demonstrator
