I love creating Holiday home decor pieces. Every year, I get them out and place them around my home, remembering past times creating these goodies. Today's project is a shadowbox frame using that amazing reindeer die from the Reindeer Days Suite. The reindeer die has three different reindeers to cut out to achieve the full reindeer look. I've used this die for several projects and I haven't gotten tired of it yet. The reindeer is just … [Read more...] about All Your Days

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

I'm a sucker for a good bird stamp set. Add in some amazing … [Read more...] about Nests of Winter
