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
Trucking Along
One of the Online Exclusive bundles that was released a couple months ago is the Trucking Along stamp and punch bundle. This is the first chance that I've had to use the stamps and punch. Although when I ordered it, I knew I would have a make a 3D truck with this set. Well, it turns out that this makes a really tiny truck. The truck is 1.25" tall by 2.25" long and .5" wide. I could have made the truck wider by just using a wider piece … [Read more...] about Trucking Along

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..

December Sampler-Sweet
Today I'm sharing my December Sampler. I thought a fun theme this month would be gingerbread. I have a cute little gingerbread girl, a lollipop forest, and a sweet gingerbread house. Several people have asked what I do with the samplers. I use them as home decor pieces in my home. I change it out every month seasonally. Several customers have used them in scrapbooks, and another uses them in a shadowbox frame. I love hearing what people are … [Read more...] about December Sampler-Sweet
