DIY Wood Gift Tags & Ornaments
So I found these wooden tags at Michaels. You get 50 of them for 10 bucks and when I saw them I had to have them even though I had no idea what to do with them. (It looks like Michael's is sold out on these now but you can find all kinds of similar tags on Amazon...just search "wood gift tag" and a ton of items show up.) So, anyway, I get home and I decide to paint some white and some black, and then maybe stencil on top of them a fun Christmas image. I gave this [...]
Peaceful Deer Stamp & Punch Bundle
Greetings everyone. My project of the week is here! I have two card projects to share using the Peaceful Deer bundle. The first project is a pretty Christmas card and I have used the Tiding of Christmas designer series paper to coordinate. I love this designer series paper - it really is so beautiful and makes the best cards. If you don't have this paper yet - you need it! I promise. If you missed the live video - you can watch it on the replay - just click the video link below. [...]
Super Simple & Cute Halloween Card
Well, I thought I was almost done with halloween cards, but then I went and joined a Halloween card swap and committed to making 12 more cards! So, I needed a simple design and something I could do very quickly - AND, it had to be cute, right? So, I can't take credit for this design -- I CASE'd this card from @julieannepitta who is also my Stampin' Up upline and has a great blog over at 2340westnewton.blogspot.com. You should definitely go check her out - she is creative like no other! For this card, I used the Clever Cats [...]
A “clever” little Halloween card…
Hi folks. Today's project of the week showcases the Clever Cats stamp set which is available now in the Mini July-December catalog. This stamp set has all you need to create some really "clever" Halloween cards - fun for any age. To create this card, I started with a brick background which I made using the Brick & Mortar embossing folder and Smoky Slate Ink. From there I added layers with the window frame which the little kitty is sitting on, the broom and the pumpkin with the witches hat. I loved adding the little spider in the window just [...]
Friendships do Refresh the Soul!
This weeks card project uses the Beauty of Friendship stamp bundle. I made this card for my Crafty Ninja Team monthly card swap and I absolutely LOVE how it turned out. I got the idea for the layout of this card from Elizabeth Price (@seeinginkspots). I love all the layers she used and so I thought I would give it a try. Here is the card I made. I usually like to dress up my envelopes but normally that just means adding some pretty paper to the flap. This time I jazzed up the front with some stamped trees to [...]
Hey Boo! Cutest Halloween Card & Treat Box
Well, I put it off as long as I could...I had to bring out the Halloween stamp sets I bought last month and get busy with some new projects. I showcased a couple new projects today during my YouTube Live using these stamps sets. These bundles were so popular that they quickly went on backorder - but you can still get the stand alone stamp sets. I purchased the Cutest Halloween Suite Collection which sadly is on backorder now because it was so popular...but it came with these adorable tomb stone treat boxes that you can decorate and fill with [...]

Hello and welcome to my blog! If this is your first time visiting, WELCOME! And for those return viewers, so happy to have you back. THANKS so much for stopping by again. For my project this week, I wanted to share the card I made using the Shaded Summer stamp and die set. I paired this up with the Harvest Meadow paper and it turned out SO pretty. I love it. There is a subtle but elegant touch to this card with the white background. I dry embossed it with the Pretty Flowers embossing folder. I love to add just [...]

Hello friends. Thanks for coming back to my blog, or if you are new, welcome! I hope you bookmark this page and check back often. Ok...today I have a bunch of great cards to share with you that I created using the August Paper Pumpkin craft subscription kit called the Hope Box.
