The Holiday season is flying by and it'll be January before we know it. I've been making an effort to use the last couple of stamp sets that I hadn't used yet from the August-December Catalog before it ends. One set I haven't had a chance to use very much is the Warmest Hearts bundles. Today's is a quick card using the thermos from the stamp set again. I just love the plaid look on the thermos. I still have another Holiday stamp set to … [Read more...] about Thanks!

A Rainbow Of Trees
While I still had the Merriest Trees bundle on my desk, I couldn't resist making a rainbow forest. I used my blending brushes to add some color to the white card stock behind each of the trees. I used the same five ink colors to match the five card stock colors. I placed the yellow tree in the center first. Then I added the red and green trees on the ends. Then the orange and blue trees fit in the middle. The card needed a little something more … [Read more...] about A Rainbow Of Trees
Festive Tags
One of the more recent kits in the Kit Collection is Festive Tags. This kit makes five different tags, three each of the five designs. That gives me 15 tags all ready to go for the holidays. For those of you that are nervous stampers, no need to stress about this kit because there is no stamping involved. All of the sentiments are stickers! This kit was so easy to put together. Most of the time, I assemble the kits just as they are. The … [Read more...] about Festive Tags
All About Autumn
Okay, it's not quite time to get out the fuzzy sweaters, but the last few days have definitely had a drop in temperature. Hooray! Today I'm using the All About Autumn Suite. The stamp set stamps these huge leaves and the coordinating dies cut leaves in a variety of sizes. I absolutely love the paper in this Suite. The pack is a 6x6" pack of paper with lots of options for Fall cards and projects. It has leaves, pumpkins, library books, … [Read more...] about All About Autumn
Pick of the Patch
Happy Monday! Today I'm sharing one of the first cards I've made using new products in the Holiday Mini Catalog. This features the Pick of the Patch bundle, which is a stamp/punch bundle. The punch cuts out these two pumpkins and stems from the set. The pattern paper is from the All About Autumn pack, which is 6x6" pack of paper. I like these smaller sheets for cards because the patterns tend to be smaller for cards. One nice thing about … [Read more...] about Pick of the Patch

From the July-December Catalog! Every year, I make special ornaments for a group of girlfriends. I love making these mini snow globe ornaments every year. The snow globes are usually a Winter scene. I love using the fake crafting snow. Please pardon the light reflection in the ornament. I just could not get a good photo without the reflection. This year, I used the Sweet Gingerbread house for the ornament. I had a lot of fun using … [Read more...] about Last Share..
A Box In A Bag
Last week I shared our adorable Christmas Scottie with our Peekaboo Treat bags. This week, I'm sharing him with a treat bag that you can make in almost any size to suit your needs. My bag below is approximately 3" x 3" tall and 1" across on the bottom. So, what is a box in a bag? This is a gift bag that you make with a box bottom. You can see the bottom below. It has squared off sides just like a box. But the top and sides are rounded like … [Read more...] about A Box In A Bag
