I thought it would be a good idea to make a thank you/appreciation card. I will be needing several of these to give out after the holidays. I used the Christmas Essentials stamp set by Simon Says Stamp.
Also want to mention that today’s prize sponsor is My Sweet Petunia, which I used on this project and nearly every project that I make.
I colored the images with Copics and added some glossy accents to the berries. I used one of the Nested Circle dies to create a window panel and added bright red bow using the Perfect Bow die with Lipstick Red cardstock.

Neat & Tangled-Scandinavian Prints Christmas
December 22, 2016Hello there! Today I have a colorful & festive project featuring the Scandinavian Prints Christmas by Neat & Tangled.
This set is fantastic! I am loving the geometric images that can be used in a million in one ways and not just for Christmas, but all year long to create awesome patterns and designs.
I created a rainbow of trees…are you surprised, ha ha! I just can’t stop!!! I used the MISTI and multi-inked each triangle with two colors. A lighter color on top and a darker color on bottom for a gradient look.
I love being able to combine my pigment and my dye inks together to get exactly what I want! I also added some sequins from the Frosted Pine sequin pack.
Here’s a video to show you how I made this card.

Waffle Flower Crafts-Fleece Navidad
December 21, 2016Hello there! Today I have a fun project to share featuring some products by Waffle Flower Crafts.
I was inspired by this cheeky T-shirt turning “Feliz Navidad” into “Fleece Navidad”. My family did not get the humor at all. I guess you have to be goofy like be to appreciate things like this:)
The Cutaway Alpha stamp set was perfect to create my custom sentiment along with several gorgeous Waffle Flower inks.
I added the little lamb from Welcome Spring and made him fit for the holidays by adding a little freehand cut santa hat topped off with a mini white pom pom.
Here’s a video to show you how I made this card.

SSS-Hey Love
December 19, 2016Hey Love! Have you seen the gorgeous new Hey Love release at Simon Says Stamp? Everything is soooo pretty & perfect for sending love all year long!
My project features the beautiful Hey Love word die along with the Folded Heart die.
I used some delicious pattern papers from the C’est La Vie 6×6 pack. I’m in love with these fresh, modern patterns. I actually just made a birthday card for my daughter with these papers and she LOVED it! Here’s the card I made for her.
She said and I quote, “Mom, I think you’ve gotten better over the years.” lolololol….Hey, I’ll take it, folks! I used my Silhouette Cameo to make the “16” & the “alex”…so easy, but the papers make it look so good.
But I’m in love with all of the gorgeous handwritten word dies designed by Kristina Werner. She has such a amazing gift!
That’s all for today! Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great day!

Altnew-Sohcahtoa
December 14, 2016Hello there! Today I have a colorful, geometric project to share with you featuring on of my all-time favorite stamps sets by Altenew: Sohcahtoa.
I don’t think I’ll ever tire of creating patterns with triangles. Sohcahtoa has several sizes & patterns of triangles which I layered here using a ton of gorgeous Altenew inks.
I love how the Altenew inks come in sets of four with four shades in each color family. It made this card a breeze to stamp. Using the MISTI helped a lot to get my triangles straight and evenly stamped.
I added an embossed sentiment from the Celebrate stamp set. I thought the clean, modern font paired perfectly with this geometric design.
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.
GIVEAWAY!!

SSS-Diecember® blog hop
December 9, 2016
Hello there! Today I’m very excited to join Simon Says Stamp along with several talented designers in a hop to showcase the awesome new Diecember® release.
My first project features the adorable Bear Hugs die. I die cut several pieces of felt and created a bear felt banner. In rainbow order, of course:) I adhered the bears with glossy accents.
I added a sentiment using one of the Handlettered Greetings dies with Fog cardstock. I used spray adhesive to adhere it to the card.
I had a bunch of colorful little felt hearts left over from die cutting the Bear Hugs and used them on this next card.
This card features the gorgeous Circle Leaves die with Cream Off cardstock. I added a sentiment using one of the new Missing You dies with Sea Glass yardstick. Two cards made solely with dies!!! So fun! These new Diecember® dies are fantastic!
