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!

Bonus days are almost over! Pretty card ideas with the Changing Leaves bundle
There are just a few days left of the Bonus Days special! Don't miss out on the savings!
This week I'm sharing our wonderful array of Team card swaps from July. This month our theme was 'thank you cards' without flowers.
The two cards on this post both feature the new Changing Leaves bundle from our online exclusives. I shared a few ideas in a recent video you can see here.
Her colors include Old Olive, Coastal Cabana and Wild Wheat. I love the pretty textured White background so much; it really shows off the leaves & die-cuts.
The greeting & die-cut are included in the Changing Leaves bundle.
Here's a link to the Changing Leaves bundle. It includes the stamp set, dies and matching hybrid embossing folder. See the link to my video above to see how a hybrid embossing folder works.
Her colors include Highland Heather, Shy Shamrock and Basic Beige. She also used the Spotlight on Nature dies for her circles. She sponged a bit of Basic Beige ink onto the embossed layer to highlight the texture.
Stay tuned for more fabulous Team swaps all this week!
Save this template! 4 quick cards with the new Iconic Celebrations DSP. Video & free project sheet too
I have something brilliant to share with you today. How would you like to use two 6" sheets of DSP to make 8 easy but multi-layered cards? I used an easy template with simple measurements to create some fabulous cards. Here's one of my favorites:
It starts out with two sheets of 6 X 6" DSP; in this case the new Iconic Celebrations from the Online Exclusives seen here. *Two sheets of 6" DSP will make 8 cards. You can opt to use just one sheet and not have any variation.
You'll cut each 6 X 6" designer paper piece into four 3" squares. Then cut three of those into a few pieces like this (one is left whole):
The photo above gives you the DSP AND layering cardstock measurement. You can find the other measurements for the supporting layers on my free project sheet.
Besides the Iconic Celebrations DSP, I used a few other new Online Exclusives products – the Everyday Greetings stamp setand the Greetings of the Season bundle seen here.
Click hereor on the video below to watch how these cards are made. I share a second version in Cherry Cobbler & Mossy Meadow during the video.
On the project sheet it lists the products I used. The ribbons here are the Iridescent 1/2" striped trim and the Gold & Silver 1/8" trim combo pack from the Annual Catalog.

I had a bunch of fussy cut coffee cups leftover from a previous project plus a stack of A Little Latte designer paper layers too. Here are some of the cards I made with them.
Aren't they great? You'd never know I made these with leftover pieces! It's a fun challenge to put random layers together in a pleasing way. I really enjoyed making these as thank you's for my online orders.
I knew I needed a neutral base to add the layers to so I started out with a textured White layer added to my card bases. I chose the So Swirly embossing folder seen here. After adding the DSP pieces & coffee cups I finished the cards with greetings and a twine bow.
