Wishes all Around Christmas card with video & free project sheet


I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We sure did!  We spent it with our kids – playing games, making puzzles and of course enjoying wonderful food.

Have you noticed the Wishes All Around bundle in the 2023 Holiday catalog?  

I've always loved wreaths.  In fact I used to collect them and put them up at Christmas time on a big wall in my dining room. 

I thought this Wishes All Around stamp bundle seen here had a wide variety of pretty stamps and wonderful dies. 

I heat embossed the tree wreath image in White embossing powder and die-cut it with the coordinating dies. I added it onto three cut panels from the Brushed Gold Cards & envelopes; each one cut at 1 5/8" X 4" and added to my Navy card base. These panels are textured with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

I love the fact that you can cut the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes into two card fronts; more bang for your buck! 

Below is a photo of all of the card swaps I made.  I truly love these Brushed Gold cards & envelopes. I've found them quite versatile and easy to use. 

Here's a photo of this sweet bundle. As you can see it has three die-cut wreaths, snowflakes, trees and stems/berries. All meant to coordinate with the stamp set. 

I made a second version in the video last week. Which do you prefer?

Bow on top or on the bottom of the wreath?  Gold or white embossed greeting?


Below is the video where I shared this pretty card.  Unfortunately this video has some blurry spots; I hope you can bear with me!

  • Striking and fun Black Magic technique with video!


    I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It’s the Black Magic technique!

    My colors include Peaceful Pine, Old Olive (ink only), Golden Glow and White. It features the Fern & Flora bundle seen here.

    What is the Black Magic technique? It’s where you start with a light neutral piece of card stock and add color with sponges or markers. Then stamp images in Versamark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. The magic happens when you cover it completely with a water based ink (here I used Secret Sea). Then wipe off the ink that does not ‘stick’ to the heat embossed areas. True magic!

    Watch my video tutorial further below to see this technique in action.

    On this card I used mostly the stamp images; only the greeting die-cut is from the dies. I added a few In Color butterfly gems and the pretty Golden Glow ribbon too.

    I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download it or to print it.

    I made one with Golden Glow as the card base and the other as Peaceful Pine as the card base.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another.
