• 4 Season Easel Calendar with video & free project sheet

  January 6, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing a super special 4-season calendar card. I cased one I made 10 years ago!  We made this at my December card clubs. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I stamped the background with the Sparkling Snowflakes set in Pool Party & Pretty Peacock inks. 

  It looks like an ordinary card front doesn't it? It actually is with the exception of the latch I added.

  This latch is slipped under the calendar on the inside of the card. The reason why I choose the inside is so it doesn't show on the bottom.  I hope you'll watch the video here or below to see how it's done.  

  For the Spring season I used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set and colored with Blends markers.

  My smart husband created the calendar for this project.  You can access the 2025 calendar here.  And the  2026 Calendar here *However you will need to scale your printer to 90% instead of the usual 100%. *please don't ask me how to do this; each printer is different. 

  For the Summer season I used the Round we Go set in Lemon Lime Twist, Azure Afternoon and Petunia Pop inks.

  See all of my free project sheets here. 

  For the last season I chose to use a layer of designer series paper (Nests of Winter).  In hindsight I could have used DSP on every season.  It would save a ton of time if you're making a bunch at a time.

  Below is the video tutorial for this card; it's helpful to get the tips to make your creating easier.  Don't forget to follow me on Facebook here or my YouTube Channel here.

• Use both sides of your DSP on this neat ‘back fold’ card; so easy!

  January 3, 2025

  ---

  I joined a few online swaps in December so I could get lots of samples for my New Catalog Launch on January 18th. I love to showcase lots of products from the new catalogs each time. 

  This is one I made featuring the Friends of the Ocean DSP: 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  My colors include Coastal Cabana and Pumpkin Pie.  You cannot tell from the photo above that it's a fun fold card but it is. And it's so easy! 

  The Friends of the Ocean DSP is so colorful and fun; here's a peek it. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  The layered greeting is attached to the right sided edge and it holds the left side closed. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  How? There's an extra score line 1" from the edge.  The card base is 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1" and 4 1/4". 

  I used the new With You in Mind stamp set for this card.  I love it because the greetings are nice & large and it's my friend Julie Davison's million $ stamp set!  The greeting fits onto the new To the Point punch well and that layers on our 2 3/8" circle punch perfectly.

  **All of these products are coming out in the Spring Catalog on Tuesday, January 7th.

• Happy New Year! Check out my January Specials

  January 2, 2025

  ---

  I hope you enjoyed your New Year's.  If you didn't celebrate hopefully you had some relaxing time in.  That's what we did. Plus organized a few cabinets.  It always seems like a great time to go through our stuff and toss or donate some things we don't need. 

  Today I'm sharing a few of the specials I'm offering to my customers in January. 

  First is a big stack of free card kits.  I put together some printed card bases and envelopes plus Memories & More cards. These will be wonderful for easy card assembly. Or jazz them up with more layers, embellishments & other items if you wish. They're a great starting point to your creative processes.

  If your online order is over $55 in January I'll ship one directly to you.

  In addition, every online order will also receive a free PDF tutorial featuring the new 'Friends of the Ocean' suite. This tutorial includes fun folds and unique layouts for not only this designer paper but you can easily substitute any you already own! It will be emailed to you within a few days after an online order from my store here.
