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

Now That’s A Tree
I'm back today showing all the fabulous layers for the Merriest Trees bundle. The die set comes with the four different sizes of the trees, which can be layered on top of each other to make a full tree. The stamp for the tree leaves is just one stamp. But it has a gap between each layer which allows you to stamp each of the different sizes of trees nicely. The snow drifts are hand cut on the bottom of the card. Super simple card and it … [Read more...] about Now That’s A Tree
Merriest Trees
One of my favorite stamp sets from the August-December Catalog is the Merriest Trees bundle. This set comes with several trees stamps and several sizes of tree dies that you can layer. For today's card, I used one of the middle size tree dies, which fits the greeting perfectly. I really enjoy making cards and sending them to family and friends at the Holidays. I typically get them done just before Christmas, but they always make it to … [Read more...] about Merriest Trees

Looks Just Like Hogwarts
Hedwig is off flying high above Hogwarts today. Okay, I know that isn't exactly the Hogwarts castle, but it looks pretty close to one of the main buildings. The castle is from an older stamp set called Chase Your Dreams. I do keep some of my retired stamp sets. There are just some that I can't part with and I still use them here and there. Speaking of retiring products... Stampin Up just released the list of products that will be … [Read more...] about Looks Just Like Hogwarts
Still Waiting For My Hogwarts Letter
True story, I bought the Winter Owl bundle just so I could make this card. I knew the owl stamps would be perfect to make some Harry Potter-type cards. This owl stamped on white paper white looks just like Harry's owl Hedwig. And then of course, I had to add the explosion of Hogwarts letters coming out of the Post Box. I used several different stamp sets to make this card. The Chase Your Dreams is an older, retired stamp set. The red wax … [Read more...] about Still Waiting For My Hogwarts Letter
Starting Tomorrow
Our Holiday Catalog starts tomorrow! Can you believe we are already eight months into the year? I don't know where the year has gone, but here we are getting ready for another school year and the Holidays are quickly approaching. I have my fingers crossed that Holiday Season 2021 is going to be better than Holiday Season 2020 (thanks, Covid). Every year, when I receive the Holiday Catalog, I debate over and over what to make first. I'm dying … [Read more...] about Starting Tomorrow
