Merry… Christmas?
What? Too soon? I know, I've raced by Fall and I'm now on to Christmas. Actually, not really. It's just this one card. I found one very similar to this on Stampin Up's Facebook group and I love the simplicity of it. This uses the tree rings from the Rings of Love pattern paper, which I cut out. Then I stamped the leaves and die cut more leaves and the berry springs to go with it. The Rings of Love paper is one of the free Sale-a-bration … [Read more...] about Merry… Christmas?
Happy New Year!
On Wednesday I shared that fabulous treat holder with the mini coffee cups and box. I ended up with some extra bits when making the treat holder, so I turned my leftovers into cards. Here is the first card using up the things I used to decorate the coffee cup. I added the gorgeous pinecone paper as my background and it pairs so well with the pinecone stamps. My second card used up some of the label pieces and strips of pattern paper … [Read more...] about Happy New Year!
One More Snowy Village
As I was working on my Ornament for the post this past Wednesday, I kept getting these beautiful backgrounds behind the trees. But with the ornament and Cloche Domes, you couldn't see much of the sky in the background. Today's card shows that gorgeous background and you can see more of the forest behind the village. What's amazing is that all the backgrounds that I made have a color variation in them so they are all slightly different. To … [Read more...] about One More Snowy Village

That gorgeous pattern paper is from the Peaceful Place Suite along with the matching Subtle Shimmer Sequins. The sequins are not self-adhesive, but they are so pretty and so worth the effort to glue them down individually. I used this card for my September … [Read more...] about Snowy Village

A Little Something For Your Friday
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
