2026: A CAS Holiday Card [Card #191]

Hello, sweet friends! 
I made this CAS holiday card in July... but didn't get a chance to post it! I'm only ONE day late... so I guess we will still count it:) 
 
I will be honest--- this card design was supposed to be EASY, CAS.... but adding those little branches on the back of the white tree was a bit of a pain! And then I stamped the sentiment in a lighter green ink... oy! What a mess. 

Overall, I like how it looks. It will work. I highly doubt the person receiving this will know the trouble that went into making this card or see the mismatched greens... they probably will throw it away after the holidays anyway🀦🏼‍♀️ 

That's it for me today.

THANKS so much for stopping by! MORE to come πŸ’Œ

Be blessed ❤️

2026: Easy Holiday Card + 2 TIPS using TapeRunner Adhesive [Card #192-197]

Hello, sweet friends! I've started on my holiday cards!!! 
I've shared a IG reel/tutorial HERE on how to make this EASY holiday card using TapeRunner adhesive
 
Here are step-by-step instructions [plus 2 TIPS] on how to make these cards, and possibly make multiples because they are sooooooooo easy!!!! 
  • Gather your supplies including TapeRunner adhesive
  • Create card front panel using embossing folder
  • Stamp image onto cardstock
    • TIP#1: Use a bone folder to burnish some of the embossed image where the stamped sentiment will be. This makes the cardstock smoother and  you don't lose the embossed image! 
  • Emboss sentiment
  • Ink edges of embossed image (I used two dark colors for extra dimension)
  • Adhere cardstock to cardbase using TapeRunner adhesiv
    •  TIP#2: Apply TapeRunner adhesiv to BOTH the cardbase and cardstock for a stronger bond! The embossed cardstock sometimes has a hard time adhering to flat paper- doubling the adhesive helps! 
  • Finish card using twine, gems, or other embellishments

EASY! 

And because this was soooooooooo EASY I created a few extra holiday cards in different colors! This is a great card to mass produce.
 
I wish you could see how pretty each edge is in the photo- the light makes it too bright to see :(

2025: Simon Says Stamp DieCember release

Hello again, sweet friends! 
I'm so blessed to be joining in the fun with Simon Says Stamp and the NEW DieCember release

I received the Chunky A2 Scallop Rectangles dies--- which is PERFECT because scallops are PERFECT on ANY creation! 
I created some foiled nameplates and tags using some Pink & Main foils and foilable toner sheets--- these could be used for the holidays but also for any gathering or present just by switching out the foil color and pattern design! 
I also created a few cards- this first one is a CAS winter card using the SSS Stacked Holiday Sentiments set
The next two cards were created using the SSS Dahlia background stamp and Timeless Blossoms stamp set. These cards were supposed to be different... one a layered panel card and the other a shaker card. However, I messed up and accidentally taped down the panels before I remembered I was making one a shaker card🀦🏼‍♀️🀣 It's ok though because I love how each card turned out! 

That's it for me today. Be sure to shop the NEW release HERE!

2024: Caffeinated Christmas Card November Challenge [card #271]

Hellooooooooooo, sweet friends!  
I'm back and thrilled to join in the fun again with the Caffeinated Christmas Card team for their November challenge. Pink & Main is sponsoring this challenge, which is PERFECT as they have some super cute images for Christmas and that match the coffee theme! 
For today's project, I went with "green" as my inspiration since my first project {HERE} was "red". LOL πŸ˜‚  My first card was all red using one stamp set... this card is green with several fun goodies and products by P&M!!!! I love it! 

Since this card is more my style, I pulled out everything I love using on my cards: an embossing folder, twine, gold embossing powder... and of course the cutest mug image!!! I took my time coloring this image **NOTE: I'm still a newbie!!! and originally wanted to have his hair red, but after much thought, I went with black and I'm glad I did! I think he is super cute!!! 

I hope that this card inspires you to pull out your P&M goodies to create today---  maybe something green or red so you can join in the fun with the November challenge over on the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge blog

That's it for me today. 

THANKS so much for stopping by! MORE to come πŸ’Œ

2024: Caffeinated Christmas Card November Challenge [card #270]

Hellooooooooooo, sweet friends!  
I'm super excited to join in the fun with the the Caffeinated Christmas Card team for their November challenge- red or green. Pink & Main is sponsoring this challenge, which is PERFECT as they have some super cute images for Christmas and that match the coffee theme! 
For my project, I wanted to do something that was "all red" since the challenge was red and green. This made me think of a one-layer card using only one stamp set, P&M Mugs & Kisses. This was harder than I thought, but it turned out the way I envisioned itπŸ‘πŸ»  
  • First I stamped the Santa mug on the cardbase and masking paper
  • Masked him to stamp the whippy dip and candy cane (also on the cardbase and masking paper) 
  • Then I kept the masks on so I could ink the background--- yes the background is inked! #SSS20yearsofdistress
  • Then I stamped the sentiment with red ink as well
  • Finally I added color to the image (ok--- I added just a hint of green for fun!)
Simple steps but nerve-wracking as working on a one-layer card means if you mess up... then you have to start all over! LOL πŸ˜‚

I hope that this card inspires you to pull out your P&M goodies to create today, as well as joining in the fun with the November challenge over on the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge blog 

That's it for me today. I've got another P&M project that I will share for this challenge in a few weeks! I can't wait:)
