September Kits to Go – Gilded Autumn and Banner Year; each with 3 options!


Who's ready for Fall?  It's coming faster than I want!  But it does give me the opportunity to play with Autumn themed cards.  

I chose the Gilded Autumn specialty designer paper as my inspiration for this month's kit to go cards.  They DSP is so pretty!  I absolutely love the addition of Mint Macaron and Cajun Craze to this years colors.  

The cards include a few fun fold designs, which I love to make.  There are 5 different cards and you'll receive 2 of each in the kit.  Change them up with either different choices of paper or greetings if you'd like.  

This kit includes $20 in product and the pre-cut cards kit.  And it's just $28!!  That means you're paying about $4 for the 10 cards!  

  • 1/2" package Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP
  • The Basket Weave metallic ribbon combo pack
  • 1/2" pkg Champagne Rhinestones
  • 10 pre-cut cards including punches and die-cuts (Texturing is not done for you)
  • PDF tutorial includes photos, measurements, supplies and step by step directions. The Tutorial is emailed to you immediately upon payment.
  • The kit will be mailed to you at the end of September. 
  • *This kit will be sent to my monthly kit subscribers.  If you'd like to subscribe to receive a kit every month click here.  

Everything is cut for you except the Designer Paper.  You'll use your own paper trimmer to do that. 

You will need the following to finish your cards like mine:

  • Beautiful Autumn stamp set (can easily substitute other greetings)
  • ink pads – Cajun Craze, Early Espresso & Mint Macaron
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Embossing folders (not absolutely necessary)
  • Sponges, ruler
  • Adhesives

You can choose from the following; the cards and product kit, adding on the Beautiful Autumn bundle (extra 10% discount) to the kit or just the pdf tutorial.  Click here to order

I'm also offering a second cards kit this month.  If you'd like both I will combine shipping as I can fit them all in one package and still send via Priority mail.  Please use this link to purchase both kits.  

This kit includes the Banner Year stamp set and features all Fun Fold cards with upcoming Holiday themes!  

This kit is also just $28 and includes the Banner Year stamp set, the pdf tutorial and the 8 cards pre-cut kit.  You will need a few ink pads and adhesive to finish your cards.  With the tutorial you can make many more with your new stamp set! 

You have the option of adding on the Banners Pick a Punch at an additional 10% off too!  Or choose the Tutorial only option.

  • Update on our move to Bismarck, ND


    If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.

    Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.

    In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.

    This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!

  • Stunning Crossover Fun-fold card with Lily of the Valley


    This pretty card was made at my July card clubs. It has an elegant feel to it with the mostly white color combo.

    My colors here are White with Hydrangea Hue and Granny Apple Green. I colored the Lily of the Valley die-cuts with both Blends markers and tried the new Shimmer Brushes too. The gorgeous textured layers are made with the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder; it’s back in stock now! See it here.

    Look closely at the layers in my photo above and note how the upper left piece tucks under the right lower piece. That’s why it’s called a crossover fold; it actually locks together to lay mostly flat. You can see how it’s made in the video below.

    I gave my club gals a choice of using the Barely Blush or the Hydrangea hue colors. Which would you choose?

    Besides the video I also made a free project sheet for you with measurements and step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

    The Lily of the Valley bundle is so pretty; I’m sure you’ve been seeing samples with it everywhere. See it here online.

    One piece of White 8 1/2″ X 11″ card stock is needed for the card base and the other layers needed for this card but it’s well worth it!

    Below is the video for this fun fold card and one more too. Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel when you’re there.
