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

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
Hey, Boo
I promise I won't get carried away with Halloween quite this early, but I had one more treat holder to share. On Monday, I shared the little 3x3" pouches. Today, I'm sharing those fabulous Tombstone Treat boxes in the July-December Catalog. These boxes are pretty good size (3.5 x 5 x 1.25"). Definitely bigger than I thought they would be. I just love the little ghost from the Cute Halloween stamp set and used him on this box as well. The … [Read more...] about Hey, Boo
Treat Yourself
If you've been in a retail store in the last couple of weeks, you probably noticed Fall and Halloween decor have hit the shelves. Did you know there are only 69 more days until Halloween? I know, it sounds like that is so far away. But, it really isn't. Just think about how quickly 2021 has flown by already. And since it's Monday and I thought we could all do with a treat today, today's project is a small 3x3" treat holder. It holds candy, … [Read more...] about Treat Yourself
Delicate Dahlias
One of my favorite stamp sets from the Sale-a-bration Catalog is the Delicate Dahlias stamp set. I think Dahlia flowers are so gorgeous in real life. The Dahlia stamp is a pretty good representation of the actual flower. For today's card, I colored it in using our alcohol markers, the Stampin Blends. I colored two of the flowers in the Pale Papaya light and dark Blends and added in a touch of Flirty Flamingo. For the top flower, I used Flirty … [Read more...] about Delicate Dahlias
It’s A Party
Even though it's Monday, we're going to kick off the week with a party. This cute sheep stopped by to wish you a Happy Birthday. Not your birthday? That's ok, we'll just pretend. Today's sheep is kicking up her heels and has her party hat all ready to go. And just in case you didn't notice her out standing in her field, she's waving flags to catch your attention. Ha! There are a number of great items in the Sale-a-bration Catalog. This … [Read more...] about It’s A Party
