Ready to Craft?

2020 was a year of many twists and turns! With all the extra time of staying at home, how much crafting did you do? You would think you have lots of time to craft, but it doesn’t always work out that way, does it? So here we are in 2021 and I say let’s get crafty again. Start by getting your supplies organized, making sure …

Wonder of Christmas

Wonder of Christmas and Onstage Swaps

Today’s cards are 2 Christmas swaps I received at Onstage Secaucus. The first card was made with the Wonder of Christmas. The second card made with Peaceful Pines was made by Judy Hyde. At last month’s class, we made  this card using the Wonder of Christmas. Whether you decide to color the angel or not, it makes a nice Christmas card. Since I was going to use my …

Painter's Palette

Christmas With Painter’s Palette

Today’s Christmas card features Painter’s Palette and 4 other stamp sets. We made this card at my Christmas in July card class before the holiday catalog was live. Many times a little thinking out of the box allows you to take a stamp that wasn’t intended for Christmas and create a Christmas card like this one. Here are the details for this card: the swirls …

Merry Mice

Merry Mice

Merry Mice is such a cute set and I had fun creating this card with this trio of mice. As I’ve mentioned before I love making square cards. The only drawback to a square card is that you pay a little extra postage for it, unless you make a smaller square card than a 5″ x 5″. My card today is a 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ …

Merriest Wishes Shaker Card

Merriest Wishes Shaker Card

The Merriest Wishes Shaker Card is a simple yet elegant card, don’t you think? Just in case you overlooked this stamp set along with the Merry Tags Framelits, you can find it on page 21 of the Holiday Catalog. The Merriest Wishes sentiment is stamped in Soft Sky and Cherry Cobbler ink, but that was totally unintentional although I like the the way it turned …

Time of Year Christmas

Time of Year

Happy World Card Making Day! Hope you’re finding time to stamp today. Today’s card features the Time of Year Host stamp. You can make quick and easy cards because the Thinking of You sentiment is the main focus. After stamping Thinking of You,  stamp the occasion and die cut with the Bunch of Banners Framelits popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For my 1st card, I used …

Oh What Fun

Oh What Fun Tag Card

I recently had my tag class using the Oh, What Fun Project Tag Kit. We had lots of fun making them. They look even better in person than in the catalog. I took one of the tags and made it into this quick and easy card.  The kit comes with enough supplies to make 30 tags so I was okay using one of them for …

Festival of Trees

Festival of Trees

Today’s card is one that you can whip up pretty quickly with the Festival of Trees stamp set and coordinating tree punch. Just cut two Always Artichoke cardstock panels and one Cherry Cobbler. Stamp on all 3 the garland inked with VersaMark. Stamp your trees with Always Artichoke and the ornaments on the middle tree with Cherry Cobbler. The tree stand is stamped with Always …

Dove of Peace

Dove of Peace

Isn’t this dove beautiful embossed in gold? This is one of the cards we did for my Christmas Card class earlier this month. The Dove of Peace stamp comes with the sentiment right below it but I decided that I wanted to separate it from the dove and give the sentiment its own wood block that way I can always use it separate from the …

More Christmas Gift Card Holders

Here are 3 more gift card holders . . . I used the image from the Ornamental Pine stamp set for the first one and the faux diamond dust technique. How to Get a Beautiful Glittery Effect: Stamp your image Cover your entire cardstock with the stamped image with VersaMark ink Pour Heat & Stick Powder to cover entire cardstock; shake off excess Using heat tool …

Get Your Santa On Gift Card Holders

I made several of the same type of gift card holders as the one in this post, and here.  I just changed the image. For these two cards I used the Get Your Santa On stamp set. I embossed the Basic Black cardstock with the stars embossing folder and then sponged it with White craft ink for the chalk-like look. I colored this one with the …

Festival of Trees & White Christmas Money Holder

HAPPY HANUKKAH! MERRY CHRISTMAS! to all my friends out there! Hope you had a wonderful time with family and friends! (a little late . . .I know)  As much as I tried to stay ahead in my preparations, something else always popped up.  Did you feel this way, too?  Anyway, all got done, except being able to edit my pictures and post.  So I will …

Wondrous Wreath Gift Card Holder

Here’s another gift card holder using the Wondrous Wreath Photopolymer stamp.  I kept the colors the same as the one in yesterday’s post.  I used the framelits that coordinate with the stamp to die cut “Joy” onto a Gold Foil Sheet. This is the inside – when you open it up, it slides up and reveals the gift card. It measures 6-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ and …
