2025: Foiling Twofer Cards [card #282-283]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I've said it before... but I'm going to say it again: 

1. I looooooooooooooooooooooooove my Pink & Main Mini Minc machine- I love love love to foil different elements for my creations! 
2. And I loooooooooooooooove a good #twofer design! And that's what you get when you foil- a positive and negative design!!! Two cards for the price of one:) 

I love this set of cards because of the NEW P&M Translucent Opal cheerfoil- it makes the background design (from the P&M Winter Poem foilables panels) look like iridescent snow!!! It's sooooooo pretty! 👀Be on the lookout on my IG stories- I'm going to try and share how this cheerfoil SHINES!!!! 

As for my colroing- I've colored 256 images so far in 2025! That's way more than last year! LOL I don't think I've improved my skills much... but I have learned that sometimes two colors is just fine🖍️ I'm hoping to start a new tracker next year--- I already track coloring images and now I need to add foiling! 

That's it for me today.

THANKS so much for stopping by! MORE to come 💌

Be blessed ❤️

2023: Paper Smooches NEW Release [card #167,169,172,174,175,176]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I'm popping on quick to post some of my creations using the NEW Paper Smooches vault release! You can check out each project on my IG page HERE. 

I tried to make a modern tree using the Happy Holly Days stamp/die set. 

This little walrus really has a great face for the cold weather, and it's EXACTLY how I feel when it gets cold too 🥶

This little birdie is too cute:) The patterned paper is from Queen & Co. Handmade Holiday and Playful Solids 6x6 papers.

This next card had something from EVERY. SINGLE. NEW. RELEASE SET!!! Trav really liked this one and helped me design it:) LOL!

From everything plus the kitchen sink to a very CAS card! LOL I like to make different styled cards to keep it interesting. 

I still have LOADS of Christmas cards to share... but this next one is for Valentine's Day or just for any day! 

That's it for me today. I do hope to get back on here with more of a regular post schedule... but does anyone read my blog anymore? I have made over 215 cards this year alone... would anyone be interested in seeing every single card? Reading about them? ❤️ Just trying to figure out what the best use of my time and this blog will be for 2024. 

THANKS so much for stopping by! I have around 30 more cards to share before Christmas and then hopefully I will have even MORE to share once I get more time in the studio before the new year:) 

Be blessed ❤️

2022: Spellbinders Winter Collection [cards #115-117]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I am beyond excited to share that I was asked to create a few special projects for the amazing company Spellbinders!!! Can you believe it!?!? WOW! 

Their new Winter Garden Collection is now available and is full of different Christmas themed stamps and dies. You can click HERE to see it all--- and you can be like me and put it all in your cart today! I want everything:) 

I was really challenged with the two die sets I received because I don't normally work with flowers... or 3D images! I had tons of fun stepping out of my comfort zone to make the following Christmas cards. If you know me then you know I love a good challenge that makes me think and try new techniques or styles! 

I made three cards to share today. I'll start with the first card I made because I failed at making a flower 3D! LOL 😂 I tried but the die cut flower just didn't look right (that's where the challenge came in and it drove me to make another card!). This first card is very clean and simple with a sentiment and the flower. I think it's very pretty... but that flower challenged me! I also have never heard of this flower before, the Helleborus Christmas Rose. I did some research and found it to be a very beautiful flower. You can't see it in this photo, but I added a bit of glitter to the flower to make it pop. 

Supplies: Spellbinders Yana's Christmas Sentiments, Helleborus Christmas Rose dies, and Glimmer machine

Because I was struggling I decided to move on to the other flower die set, the Jasmine Etched dies. This little flower inspired me to do an accent panel on the left side of a very clean and simple card. I love that the papers for the leaves and stems are striped, matching the background paper. The simple sentiment (from Create A Christmas Sentiment die set) was the perfect accent and finishing touch for this project! 

Supplies: Spellbinders Jasmine Etched dies and Create A Christmas Sentiment die set

After the success of a 3D Jasmine flower on the last card, I jumped back to the Helleborus Christmas Rose and made a vintage holiday card. This is my absolute favorite card of the bunch-- probably because I was successful with the 3D flower!! LOL ;) What I wasn't so successful at was adding copic coloring as the accent for the petals🤦🏼‍♀️ I used two different copic markers but I guess I needed to go darker for the lines to show. Either way-- this is my favorite card! I love it! 

Supplies: Spellbinders Helleborus Christmas Rose dies and Create A Christmas Sentiment die set

That's it for me today, but I have a feeling I will be back with MORE 3D flower creations using the Spellbinders Helleborus Christmas Rose and Jasmine Etched die sets! I had so much fun getting crafty with these dies.

Be sure to check out the new Spellbinders collection and order your Christmas and holiday themed products HERE. 

I'll be back to share MORE soon! THANKS so much for stopping by!
