New Product share & video tutorial on how to create sky through aspen trees

January 5, 2026

Last week I shared a video highlighting the new products I pre-ordered from both the 2026 Spring catalog and the newest Online Exclusives. I also shared some swaps using new products including this one I made:

This was made with a new stamp set called Aspen Grove. You might know I have a love for tree and leaf stamp sets so this was a definite ‘yes’ on my list. I made over 20 of these for my swap! But I like making multiples of cards I love.

I chose Old Olive, Black and Balmy Blue as my colors here. I knew I wanted a blue sky between the tree limbs so I had to figure out a way to do that. Mmm…..

Here’s what I did: I stamped the three tree limbs on a post it not and fussy cut around and between them. I then stamped on my White card stock and placed the post it note over the stamped image. Now I can add Balmy Blue ink over it all. Tip: I did add a bit more adhesive on the post it note but the best thing would be to use a post it note that is sticky all over (found at the office stores).

After I added the blue sky with a blending brush I stamped the tree leaves repeatedly at the top using Old Olive ink, stamping in both 1st & 2nd generation inks (stamping off once).
The greeting is from a new stamp set called Prayers & Promises.

Here’s the free project sheet you can download or print. Click here.

As you can see below the images in this set are mostly tree limbs and leaves. It’s what I like to call a ‘builder’ set where you can create your own scenes.

Did you spy the new embossing folder called Lovely Stripes? I placed it in the folder on the angle to add more interest. This folder and the stamp set will be available starting tomorrow – Tuesday, January 6th! Click here to shop.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and the new product shares too. I hope you watch! Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel here.

Christmas Card classes are starting in September!

September 3, 2020

I know it seems early to start on Christmas cards but I have many people that start them way before this. I am definitely NOT ready for summer to be over! I want to hang on as long as I can!

I hold two Christmas Class sessions per month from September through early December. I know many of you wonder how I can do this during Covid-19 but my classes are not large so there can be quite a bit of space between people. And masks are encouraged.

Here are my first set of cards for September's classes:

I'm featuring the Snowflake Wishes bundle, the Tree Angle stamp set & Triangle dies, the Evergreen Forest embossing folder & Toille Christmas and lastly the Merry Moose bundle.

They'll make 3 of each card with coordinating stamped envelopes for a total of 12 cards per class. Most people come to all 4 month's of classes and end up with 48 beautiful Christmas cards ready for addressing.

The class dates are September 12th at 10 am and 16th at 6 pm. Please RSVP by September 7th to attend.

If you cannot attend class locally in Minot, ND you can choose to order the pdf tutorial for these cards. They're designed for both crafters and for demonstrators to use in their classes. Check it out here.

Stamp & Cut Emboss Machine is now available!

September 2, 2020

It's here and available for everyone! The brand new die-cutting machine that is.

I've been using mine and I love it! They said it would cut dies with one pass through and it really does! Even intricate dies! I love the portability of it and how compact it is for storage.

I'm super excited to get the new Magnetic plate! Did you know it's super thin, replacing a cutting plate and it's self-healing!?!!

Thin, fully magnetic sheet with self-healing cutting surface. Te Magnetic Cutting Plate holds dies securely in place, even nested dies. This slim, portable sheet replaces a Cutting Plate in your sandwich, making it even easier to take with you. It's recommended to use with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine but I will try it in my Big Shot and let you know if it works.

Did you know you can get this machine at 10% off? Just add it to your Starter kit! It's just $99 and you can add up to $125 in products. This machine costs $120. Go here to do that.
