I actually haven't done any baking yet this year. Usually by now, I've made my rum cake at least once and usually some cookies too. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to make something before the holidays. I found a card similar to this one but it used Valentine's stamps and dies. I thought it would be a fun card to recreate as a Holiday card. The Homemade Treats bundle is filled with lots of little baking treats and accessories. I used the … [Read more...] about Tis The Season

This Suite was my favorite from the September-December Catalog when it came out. I've had it for weeks and weeks. I really had to hold myself back from breaking out the … [Read more...] about Special Delivery

Making Your Own Background
One of the cards I shared Monday used the full-sized background die. It makes an amazing frame of pine boughs overlapping the interior of the frame. This is the die I'm referring to. Once you die cut the frame, you end up with a funny looking reverse image, or the inside piece from the frame. You can take that inside piece and use it to make a fabulous background. First, you'll want to center it over your card stock that you're going to … [Read more...] about Making Your Own Background
