Notes of Spring tutorial is available!

March 31, 2026

Each month I collaborate with other Demonstrators to create a Product of the Month (POM) tutorial. Everyone who purchases the POM from me will receive it free!
How it works: you can redeem any of the Product of the Month items for just $5 once your order reaches the $75 mark.

Here’s a peek of the 12 projects in this tutorial:

The March POM is the Notes of Spring stamp set seen here. It’s a 2-step stamp set that includes greeting images too!

I’ve sent this tutorial to each of my customers now, but the offer never ends! If you order it and the set is available, I’ll send it to you.

There is one other POM available – the Painted Illusions DSP seen here.

These items are available while supplies last; once they’re gone they will not return. So get them while you can!

Starting April 1st we’ll have a new POM to choose from; the Eyelet Bloom dies.

Its intricate pattern creates a full background that fills large areas beautifully for a polished, handcrafted look in one easy cut.

Fun way to use paper strips! Live video tonight!

December 13, 2021
We made these cards on FB Live Monday night. What a fun and easy way to use up your extra designer paper pieces! Click here to watch the video.

Save

I used the Pattern Party designer paper for these cards. It's a host choice in the back of the annual catalog seen here. One side is Black & White and the other is colorful prints. I love the black & white patterns with a pop of color!

Tips:
- I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS. This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to.
- I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one.
- Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in.
- I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.
- My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long. It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.
- Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension.
- Add a greeting and accents if desired.

You might wonder where this greeting is from. It's an upcoming Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Hello Friend'. It's in a bundle with a pack of Designer Paper. It will be free with a $100 purchase during SAB in January & February. Of course Demo's can earn it free now during our pre-order period.

The other new items here is a punch. Can you spot it? It's called the bough punch and has two options in the punch. The large leaf and the 'buds' too.

Last of the unique ‘Gift Card’ ideas with video!

December 10, 2021
I've shared two other special gift card ideas and today I have another. It's the last one I shared in this video.

It features the Penguin Place bundle seen here. And it's now available but on low inventory; once more. The punch was out of stock for a long time.

This penguin is super cute and quite versatile. Certainly not just for Christmas!

Details:
- His main body is punched out of Black glitter paper.
- I fussy cut his scarf from Heartwarming Hugs DSP.
- I stamped the snowflakes on the Black CS using our White Craft ink.
This card opens up like this:

There's a fold inside that brings up the 'gift card' when you lift up the card front. I did use Thick White CS for this so it stands up to lots of use. Isn't it fun? It's quite easy too!

Extra special Gift Card idea with a pop up ‘gift bag’ inside the card!

December 9, 2021
Here's another gift card idea for you. It looks harder than it is; honestly! It's a 'gift bag' inside the card!

Save

Here's the front view: I used the angled Heartwarming Hugs designer paper piece I cut off from this card I shared yesterday. I love it when I can use my paper efficiently!

Save

I kept the front very simple as you can see. The greetings are from the Encircled in Warmth stamp set seen here.

I even added 'tissue' using the Ever Eden cotton paper! It's a 6" piece I folded into points.

Save

I used our Real Red sheer ribbon on the front for both the bow and the 'handles' inside the bag. Below is a photo of the gift bag cut out. Measurements are included.

Save

Pop-up Gift Bag card measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 11"
- White – two at 4" X 5 1/4"
- DSP 4” X 5 ¼” cut one section off diagonally
- Purse 4” X 9 ½” scored on the 4” side at ½” & 3”, scored on the long side at ½”, 1”, 4 ½”, 5”, 5 ½” & 9”
