Hello! Today I’m sharing some of my favorite POINSETTIA stamp (and die) sets! These are so beautiful and I couldn’t resist making a bunch of cards using the new November 2018 release from Our Daily Bread Designs. I colored this up in some pink Copics in the colors E50, R81, R83, and R85 so I […]

Gingerbread Scene with The Hedgehog Hollow
Hello! Today I am up on The Hedgehog Hollow blog sharing my first project with the November 2018 box. This box comes chock full of awesome supplies and sweet gingerbread stamps from Kindred Stamps! Here is a sneak peek of my project: Head on over to the Hedgehog Hollow Blog for all the details! And […]
Happy Reindeer
Ok, I love this happy reindeer from Paper Smooches. Doesn’t he just make you smile? This is my final project (I think) for my Online Card Class Holiday Style. I used some of my favorite RED SPARKLE embossing powder on the sentiment and the candy cane stripes! Can you see the sparkle? I love that […]
Christmas Tree Baubles
Wow, this technique was so fun but time consuming! In the Holiday Style Online Card Class, May Park had an awesome sample of a triangle tree shape stamped with all kinds of small stamps and I thought I’d give it a try. Turns out I have a LOT of small stamps that worked so well […]
Vintage Christmas
This card was definitely out of my comfort zone. I was nervous to use brown distress ink over my stamping. But vintage fancy was the topic of the day at Online Card Classes Holiday Style! I used Neenah desert storm for the card base (I have a TON of this, but rarely use it) and […]
O Christmas Tree!
So I tried my hand at a clean and simple christmas tree card. I used the Tim Holtz Scribble Trees and I’m ready to try making more. There are so many cute trees in this set! I used Evergreen Bough Distress ink to ink up the center of the card. This took me TWO tries! […]
Snowflakes!
This card is for the Holiday Online Card Class soft and subtle cards. I used distress inks as watercolor (that twisted citron is a new favorite) behind those snowflakes. That snowflake die is from Simon Says Stamp “Eliza” and it’s one of my favorites, too! I used some glitter embossing powder on the snowflake and […]
Tis the Season to be Jolly
Well, this card was a bunch of firsts for me. A first with all that masking (thanks to Laura Bassen), and a first using EMBOSSING PASTE!! Wow. I might just be addicted to adding embossing paste. I need to play with this more. Isn’t this card fun? I used the gnome from Paper Smooches and […]
A Very Happy Christmas (with glitter)
One more glitter card because I just could not stop! I love this background die from My Favorite Things, and it’s so fun using glitter paper with that die. That word die “Christmas” is embossed with glitter powder on the bottom and watercolored with distress inks on the top. This card was easy and a […]
Merry & Bright
I love glitter paper. Yep. I have a whole drawer just dedicated to glitter paper. So when the Holiday Card Class had a day devoted to shimmer and shine, I brought out the glitter! See that red glitter ampersand? It’s my favorite. I played around with some distress markers for the merry word and bright […]
