Wishes all Around Christmas card with video & free project sheet

November 27, 2023

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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!

Happy Easter with a Floating Die-cuts Technique card

April 2, 2021
Our family gathers together for Easter most of the time; when we can that is.

We do jelly bean hunts with our granddaughter inside and an Easter Egg hunt outside weather permitting. What are your traditions for Easter?

I shared this card on last week's Facebook Live when I did Paper Strips Techniques. You can see it here.

Save

On this card I adhered strips or punched circles to our Acetate and then used the Oval Dies to cut them out. I had to run it through multiple times as our acetate is very thick. But it die work!

Other products used here:
- Word Wishes dies
- Layering Oval dies (So very sad these are retiring!)
- Friendly Silhouettes dies (Greenery; retiring & on sale $19.20)
- Tasteful Textile 3D folder
- Little Details embossing folders (retiring & on sale $3.20)

A beautiful scene with the ‘Here’s to You’ kit; a Paper Pumpkin alternate idea

April 1, 2021
The March Paper Pumpkin kit included stencils and a sponge in the kit so I had to play with creating a scene. It's one of my favorite techniques!

Save

One of the stencils has clouds in it. I used Pool Party ink and lightly sponged on the upper part of my White CS.

Then I sponged Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral ink about an inch and a half from the bottom edge. Now I stamped the trees image in the kit with Pretty Peacock ink. I did not reink the stamp each time so as I stamped repeatedly I achieved the appearance of a distant forest. Love this!!

The birds and greeting images also came in this kit.

Snailed It; fun, colorful & adorable

March 31, 2021
This is another card we made at my March Card Clubs. I featured the Snailed It Bundle seen here.

Save

This cute designer paper is retiring and not returning in the new Annual Catalog in May. It is full of bright colors and adorable patterns. I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch seen here.

That cute envelope comes in the set of Snail dies. And quite a few of these dies coordinate with the Snail Mail designer paper too!
