I am back to the Joyful Life stamp set today. This adorable hedgehog has a giant bowl of cranberries. Maybe she's planning on making cranberry bread. That would be perfect for the Holidays. You might notice that the bowl and the apron are actually pattern paper. It is super easy to paper-piece images like this that have nice straight lines. All you need to do is stamp the image on the pattern paper, cut it out, and glue it on top of the … [Read more...] about A Little Something For Your Friday
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…
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
Penguin Place
One of the cutest bundles in the July-December Catalog is the Penguin Place stamp set and coordinating punch. The stamp set comes with two different penguins and a bunch of accessories to add on. For today's card, I went with simple for the pumpkin and background. That adorable pine tree paper is FREE since it's one of the Sale-a-bration items you can get with a $50 purchase (pre-tax/shipping). The giant iridescent snowflake doilie really … [Read more...] about Penguin Place
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
November Customer Thank You’s
When another month comes to a close, that’s the time I work on my customer thank you cards for the previous month. This way, I know exactly how many to make for the previous month. It might seem like it would be easier to make them as I go, but then I’m make 1 or 2 at a time and getting the same supplies out over and over. Sending them out at the beginning of the next month definitely works better for me. And without further ado… here is the … [Read more...] about November Customer Thank You’s
O Christmas Tree
This time of year is super busy for me, getting lots of crafts and cards made, plus getting all the Christmas decor out and decorating a tree. This little elf must get back to work so I'm keeping this post short today. This past Monday I shared a card using some of the new Most Wonderful Time Medley products. I love that this Medley has lots of different choices of products in it but I know that can be a challenge when you're not totally sure … [Read more...] about O Christmas Tree
