Christmas & Holiday Cards
Friends Like You…
Make life a joy! The Joyful Life stamp set is one of those hidden gems in the back of the Holiday Catalog. The images so cute but there is no matching die or punch to coordinate. I know a lot of people will pass this up just because it doesn't have matching dies. But don't let that stop you from getting this set. This set has the cutest critter stamps. I just love the bear and bunny taking the bike out for spin among the Fall leaves. This … [Read more...] about Friends Like You…
Pretty Pillowbox
When a new Catalog comes out, I'm always looking for new packaging ideas. I'm not sure how I missed this one, considering it's near the very front of the July-December Catalog. Possibly because it's in with a Christmas Suite of products and I hadn't really started looking at the Holiday stuff yet. The pillbox die is a larger die and it does not fit in our Mini die cut machine. You'll need a full size die cut machine for this one. The … [Read more...] about Pretty Pillowbox
It’s Just Like A Crime Scene
But worse! Okay, I might be exaggerating a bit. But this is today's craftermath! It's just like an aftermath, but specifically crafter related. Yes, this is the reality of my desk right now. No judging.. you know you do this too. I spy a some beautiful pattern paper, a project using the pillowbox die, and a fabulous deer punch. All those pretty cards and projects I post start out with a mess that looks pretty similar to this. Maybe not … [Read more...] about It’s Just Like A Crime Scene
Whimsical Trees
Did you know we are less than 100 days to Christmas? Oh my goodness! The year is just racing by. It will be 2022 before we know it. If you haven't started your Christmas cards yet, today's card is a great option. This is an easy card to make. Just stamp the trees in a variety of colors and then die cut them out. I added a bunch of the Subtle Shimmer Sequins around the card and to several of the trees. The sequins are not self-adhesive and I … [Read more...] about Whimsical Trees
Happy New Year!
Our family has always had this thing for penguins. When my son was two, I bought him a small stuffed penguin that he took everywhere. It was his lovey. He became so attached to it, that we'd have conversations about what would happen if it was lost somewhere, or how to distract him when it had a much-needed bath. I did what any normal mother would do... I bought four more exactly alike so we'd have spare loveys to last a … [Read more...] about Happy New Year!
Final Holiday Round Up
As we approach the end of the year, I want to share a couple Holiday projects that I didn’t get a chance to share sooner. Most of these products are still available from the Holiday Catalog, but the Holiday Catalog does end January 2nd. If there is anything else you can’t live without, this is your last chance to get it. First up is Christmas card using that beautiful Toile pattern paper. I made a bunch of these cards for a customer so I needed … [Read more...] about Final Holiday Round Up
Too Good Not To Share
Yes, I get it. Christmas was a few days ago, but I still have more Holiday stuff that's just too good not to share with you. You can always use these ideas for next year. In one of the past Stampin Up Demonstrator Magazines, they showed a project that was stamping on pre-cut wood slices. I just loved the idea so I kept the article handy knowing I would need it closer to the Holidays. These ornaments turned out to be just the cutest! I bought … [Read more...] about Too Good Not To Share
