Lights of Aurora scenic card with project sheet & video tutorial

October 13, 2025

I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video:

It features the Lights of Aurora suite seen here. I made sure to cute my designer paper at 3″ wide so I could get 2 pieces from each 6″ piece. We made this pretty card at my September card clubs.

Besides the DSP & colors (Balmy Blue & Pool Party) do you notice another difference? Look at the ribbon; I tried a new technique of rolling the Balmy Blue sheer ribbon on the left card. Something different!

Another time saving tip for this card is that I could die-cut two sets of trees at the same time with the extra long die in the bundle seen here:

These sentiments & die-cut are from the Peace on Earth bundle; the leaves are from the Textured Notes set.

Tip; add balance to your card by placing the main layers off to one side and the greeting on the other.
This suite has been really popular with my customers. It’s something special & unique we’ve never had before. See it here.

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

Remember that Sale-a-Bration starts on January 7th where for every $60 you spend you get to choose a free item from the SAB catalog! I'll share the link on Tuesday, January 7th.

The catalogs have been mailed out and are starting to arrive to my customers.
