Product used:

•  the ghosts, pumpkin and striped trim are from the Cute Halloween designer paper in the Holiday catalog.  See it here. 
• I punched one of the ghosts and the pumpkin with the Halloween punch. It's in a bundle with the Cutest Halloween set seen here or on page 51, which is where the greeting is from. *Sadly the Halloween punch is now on back-order until November!
• the wreath & bats are die-cut with the Seasonal Swirl dies seen here & Black Glimmer paper in the annual catalog; seen here
• the ombre background is actually Fresh Freesia CS, with Misty Moonlight & Night of Navy added with our Blending Brushes *watch the video below
• Cute Stars Adhesive-backed sequins are also added to the wreath

Check out the ghostly treat box in the photo above.  It's so simple to make with the Pretty Pillow box dies!

Save

The stitched tag is also in the Pretty Pillow Box dies.  Look how it latches – the scalloped front slips in behind the tag in front.  I love that I don't need a special way to keep it closed; the tag does it for me!

Check out the other version I made with the fun skeletons on the right?  I fussy cut them from the Cute Halloween paper.

I haven't shared this for awhile so here it is; my favorite cutting template especially for inside a card.  Get 5 pieces from one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. If you're making multiples this can save you a lot!

Below is the video.  I make another project using Sparkle of the Season before this one. Fast forward to about 22 minutes in to see this neat Halloween card.

• Fabulous 1 sheet box for A2 cards with a free project sheet & video too!

  March 4, 2024

  ---

  I shared the coolest box on last week's video. It is made from 1 sheet of designer paper! 

  Save

  It fits six A2 sized cards and envelopes inside. It's the perfect way to gift cards to someone. 

  I used the Sunny Days Sale-a-Bration paper for the box and the cards too.  Of course Sale-a-Bration is now over but hopefully you ordered this beautiful paper.  If not you can substitute any other designer paper. 

  Save

  I created a free project sheet for this easy box and the cards too!  See it below. There's also a template for it but it will help you to watch the video too.  Click here to watch it. Be sure to follow me on YouTube here. 

  Save

  Each of the cards are an easy fun fold layout.  I'll share measurements here too but they are included in the project sheet too.

  This first one is a fun version of a book-binding card fold. Just add one more piece of card stock and you have a whole new card layout! 

  Save

  Measurements: Petal Pink card 11" X 4 1/4" score at 2 1/8", 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". 2nd piece is 3 1/4" X 4", White inside 2" X 4". DSP – large panel is 3" X 4", left is 1" X 4" & right is 2" X 4"

  This next card has the designer paper as the card front; attached to the front flap. Love this and how you can see both sides of our pretty paper!

  Save

  Measurements: Poppy Parade card 5 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4". DSP – 1 piece at 3/4" X 5 1/2", 1 piece at 4" X 5 1/2". Petal Pink CS is 4" X 1"

  This is a great fold that uses the trimmed off card base as the front panel. Love this one!!

  Save

  See how I decorated my envelopes to match the cards!  This really elevates your projects and makes them extra special. 

  Measurements: Pool Party cards – 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"; cut off one end at 2 3/4". DSP 1 piece at 2" X 4", 2nd piece at 4" X 3"

  Click on the link to download or print the free project sheet.  It has measurements, step by step directions and a supplies list too.  Download 1 sheet box with 6 cards & envelopes

  Below is the video you can watch.  I share a second version of this box & cards using the Softly Sophisticated designer paper. I'll share details on this box & cards tomorrow.

• New Online Exclusives are available starting Tuesday! Who loves coffee?

  March 1, 2024

  ---

  Next week Tuesday, March 5th, the new Online Exclusives are available to order!  Click here to see the selection available now.  It will update with the new items Tuesday. 

  Save

  There will be over 20 brand new products in the Online Exclusives offering!  There are two adorable new designer papers, many new stamps sets & bundles plus an embossing folder and new gems. *these are available while supplies last.

  Today I'm sharing a card I created for an online card swap. It features the new A Little Latte designer paper and a new stamp bundle called The Little Things. 

  Save

  Details:

  • My colors include Lost Lagoon, Early Espresso, White & Pecan Pie.
  • The Little Things stamp set features a few larger words – outline & solid images plus many smaller greetings that fit the banner dies in the bundle. 
  • I stamped the coffee splatters background in Versamark ink
  • The coffee cups are fussy cut
  • Measurements: DSP is 4 1/2" X 2 1/4", Espresso layer 4 3/4" X 2 1/2", Pecan Pie strip 1 3/4" X 4 1/4", White greeting is 4 3/4" X 3/4" 

  There are a few sheets of the A Little Latte designer paper that feature cups of coffee.  I used both types on my cards below fussy cutting them.  I actually enjoy fussy cutting easy images out. 

  Save

  The above photo shows the new Happy Little Things bundle – it has two new banner dies that coordinate with the smaller greetings in the set.  I was surprised at how easy it was to stamp the solid 'Celebrate' to match the outline image. Out of all of  my 16 cards I only had to stamp one over.  

  Save

  These were fun cards to make for a swap; cute but not too time consuming!

• Sale-a-Bration ends today!! How many critters can you make with the Cutest Cow bundle?!

  February 29, 2024

  Today is the last day of Sale-a-Bration!  Sadly, it's our last chance to earn free products!

  On last week's video I shared how to make a fun cow card and a pig too. Today I'll share the sheep version!

  Save

  I decided to use a Pool Party card base to coordinate with the Sunny Days designer paper. The Deckled circle dies are an easy way to create a cute card.  The greeting is from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set seen here.  Both the DSP & stamps are still available for FREE with any $50 purchase in our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  I'm so sad this promotion ends today!

  I used the adorable Cutest Cow bundle here.  

  Save

  I wanted to use puff paint for the fuzzy sheep body & the top of her head but it's not currently part of our products so I used the punch and punched a bunch of white pieces to add for her fur. In hindsight I should have used a cotton ball – pulling it apart and adding thin bits of it with glue.  That would have been much easier!
