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

  • How to add color to the Peaceful View stamp – video tutorial too!


    Today I'm sharing the second card I made during last week's live video.  Both featured the amazing and beautiful Peaceful View stamp set seen here.  

    I used Balmy Blue, Pecan Pie and White card stock.  Inks include Balmy blue, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie. I used a Blending Brush with Balmy Blue ink to lightly color the sky before stamping. 

    Notice the fence. If you look closely you'll see the woodgrain in the fence. This was done by using an Early Espresso Stampin' Write marker to add to the stamped fence directly on the cardstock. It was mostly Pecan Pie colored before.  

    How did I color the image?  I inked the trees with Old Olive ink first using the direct to stamp method. The I used Pecan Pie on the grass and fence.  I used a sponge dauber to remove ink from the plants on the bottom so I could add Green ink to them with a sponge dauber.  I used Pecan Pie ink and a sponge dauber to add color to the trunk as well.  I hope you'll watch the video below to watch this in action. 

    For the greetings I stamped the More Messages stamp a few times and used the coordinating die to cut them all out.  I had lots to choose from this way and can save them to use whenever I need it. Here I added Balmy Blue ink lightly to color the greeting.

    What I love about this new messages bundle is that the greetings and die-cuts are such a nice size; larger than ever before. See the bundle here.

    Below is the video for this card and another where I show you how to use this stamp on pretty designer paper for a stunning background. I shared that yesterday here.

  • Beautiful Peaceful View card the easy way with video & free project sheet


    For my June card clubs I knew I wanted to feature the Peaceful View stamp set.  This gorgeous stamp makes it easy to create a stunning card with.  I've asked for this type of stamp for years and finally got one! 


    Could you ask for a more perfect background for this image?  Where did it come from?  It's a piece of designer series paper – from the Thoughtful Journey 6" X 6" DSP seen here.   It's absolutely the perfect choice and much easier than creating a coloreful background with ink. 

    The majority of the papers work well for this stamp so my club members could pick their favorite. 

    We inked the tree scene with Secret Sea ink and stamped on the designer paper.  It's then adhered to a full 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" piece of Balmy Blue CS before it's added to the front flap of the card base (front is folded back once).  

    For the greetings I stamped the More Messages stamp a few times and used the coordinating die to cut them all out.  I had tons of greetings for them to choose from.  They then layered them onto another Balmy Blue strip or die-cut. 

    What I love about this latest messages bundle is that the greetings and die-cuts are larger than ever before. See the bundle here.

    Below is the video for this card and another where I show you how to add color to the stamp. I'll share details on that project tomorrow.

  • A gorgeous scene made with Wooded Acres; on the Last Chance List


    I was playing around with the Wooded Acres stamp set and made a pretty scene by adding a blended background. 

    You may know I love creating pretty scenes with my stamps, ink and blending brushes. 

    Here are the steps:

    1. I stamped this image on a long post-it note and fussy cut the area above the ground off.  I stamped it on my White CS and then added the post-it note to mask the sky. 
    2. Now I added Garden Green ink with a Blending Brush for grass. 
    3. I removed the post it and replaced it with the other half to sponge the sky. I used Timid Tiger, Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue. 
    4. I layered it with Black and White card stock. 
    5. I then stamped the same image on the Balmy Blue card base to extend the trees.  

    What do you think?  

    This stamp set is now on sale on the Last Chance List. You can see the stamp set here. 

    If you'd like to get tips on blending a smooth sky please watch this video.
