Pretty Pumpkin projects in out of the box colors with Video too!


On Tuesday's FB Live I featured the Pretty Pumpkins bundle in out of the box colors.  I was inspired by the white pumpkins that are trendy now and by a card made by Deb Crowley.  

Isn't it gorgeous?  The colors are Pool Party, Olive & Smoky Slate. I stamped the pumpkins in Smoky Slate onto White Basic card stock and colored them in with our Watercolor Pencils seen here.  A Blender pen is the magic tool when using watercolor pencils!  Watch the video below to see how.  

I stamped the greeting directly onto the die-cut stitched rectangle using Smoky Slate ink.  It's cut from In Good Taste designer paper.  I used a blending brush to add a bit of Coastal Cabana ink behind the die-cut pumpkins. 

Next is another pretty card in Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Rose Gold.  This pretty specialty paper is in our Annual Catalog on page 134 seen here.  It's also my free gift for orders in October! *see details below

These pumpkin and leaf die-cuts are in the Detailed Pumpkin dies seen here.  *Save 10% when you purchase the bundle – stamp set & dies. I did fussy cut the greeting after stamping it. The embossing folder is called Brick Wall.  

Look at this pretty & quick treats box.  It's one of our 3 1/8" square Acetate boxes seen in the annual catalog here.  You get 10 boxes for $6.  Inside can hold either treats or 3 X 3 cards & envelopes.

I added a 2" X 9" belly band of Coastal Cabana card stock, a few pumpkin die-cuts, a wrap of Gold 3/8" shimmer ribbon and a fussy cut greeting.  

Did you know we carry 3" square envelopes in the Annual Catalog? Check out page 136. They're perfect for little note cards and they fit in this box too!  

You might wonder where you get 3 X 3" cards….   I made them from a piece of 12 X 12" card stock. It's the best size CS to start with. You'll get 8 small cards from one sheet with no waste!  Watch my tip on this in the video below. 

I think these cards would be great at each place setting on the Thanksgiving table!  Think white pumpkins, autumn colored leaves & turquoise ribbon or accents.  Mmm – I think I have a plan!

  • Waves of Inspiration scene with masking & blending techniques


    I made this card for an online swap I participated in last month.  When I create for a swap I tend to make a few different cards and decide which one I'll use for the swap.  Well once I made this one the decision was made!  

    Although after stamping, masking, blending and sponging over 20 cards I was regretting my decision! But I am proud of it so it was worth my efforts.  

    This card is part of my Waves of Inspiration kit to go this month.  I share how to make it in the video and it's also part of the pre-cut kit to go as well. 

    If you're interested in it please message me here by March 17th.

  • Need cute but easy Scrapbook ideas? I’ve got you covered!


    It's been awhile since I created scrapbook pages.  I actually started out with scrapbooking before stamping.  

    I know some of my customers have been waiting for me to create a new bunch of scrapbook layouts.  I thought the Pattern Party host designer paper was a perfect starting point.  Then I added elements from the What a Year Memories & More card pack.  Perfect match up!  Look: 

    There are 6 fun, colorful double scrapbook layouts in this kit to go. (the white photo mats are where you photos will be) 

    Each layout includes two 12 X 12 pages featuring a variety of celebratory occasions.  You have a choice of the PDF tutorial or a pre-cut kit to go. 

    Here's one of the striking layouts. 


    Pre-order this kit by March 17th and it will be mailed out at the end of March.  The PDF tutorial is sent in an email immediately after payment. 


    The kit to go includes the following:

    • 6 double layouts (12 pages) with pre-cut and punched pieces
    • What a Year Memories & More card pack.  You'll use these cards for titles, layers and other elements on your page layouts. 
    • the PDF tutorial includes photos, measurements, supplies list and tips on assembly

    Wait; you can add one or both of my other kits to go this month.  I have the Flowering Fields cards or the Waves of Inspiration cards. *see them below.

  • New Horizons scenic cards; a sure ‘wow’!


    I've been sharing cards made on a recent Facebook Live featuring the New Horizons suite this week.  You just cannot go wrong with these products!  Each Tuesday at 11 am CT I host a FB live. Follow me on FB here so you don't miss anything. 

    Today's cards feature the On the Horizon bundle along with the beautiful New Horizon designer paper.  Luckily this paper is in stock! 

    The only stamping on this card is the birds. I inked in Misty Moonlight ink and stamped off once before stamping on the designer paper scene.  The paper provides the gorgeous background.

    The card base is Garden Green 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored in half at 4 1/4".  The designer paper is 5 1/4" X 4".

    The fence, grass, layered mountains and 'green hills' are all die-cut using the Horizon dies.  These dies are currently unavailable but they should be back in stock next week.  The 'blue' mountain was cut from a leftover strip of the designer paper and the detailed mountain was cut from White CS. 

    I decided to try a vertical card as well using this same sheet of New Horizons Designer Paper.  This time the card base is Blackberry Bliss cut at 4 1/4" X 11".  There are so many colors in this paper; many will work easily. 

    Details for both cards:

    • See the On the Horizon's bundle here.
    • The New Horizon's designer series paper is seen here. 
    • the pebbles enamel shapes are also currently unavailable. They should be back in stock later in March.  
    • The fence, grass, mountains, hills are all from the Horizon dies.
