Paper Tags Sunshine & Laughter card with Christmas Greenery
Oh my gosh all! I absolutely LOVE the Christmas Greenery bundle!!!! It's so beautifully done and makes mass producing cards quick and easy but looks like you spent so much time on them. Today, I'm pairing it with the Paper Tags bundle which probably seems like an unusual combination, but I do love how it turned out. To see how I've put my card together, head on over to the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking on this link.

Season's Greetings fun fold with Traditions of Christmas
I decided upon a fun fold card for today's project. I wanted to continue using the Traditions of Christmas suite and the swag image from Christmas Greenery lent itself nicely for this fold. I do love this stamp/die bundle as it makes card making so quick, easy and beautiful. It is very versatile and will work for most any occasion. As the Christmas Greenery stamps do not contain any sentiments, you can grab any sentiment you have in your stash, change the floral colors and voila, you have a beautiful card. Add a little designer series paper or some embossed cardstock and your card is finished in record time. I'll try to remember to post a card using the fall bouquet I made as some added inspiration over on my Facebook page. To watch the video tutorial on how I made this particular card, please head on over to my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

A Spooky Halloween Party Banner small treat box
Hello all! We have a quick and easy treat box that is easily mass produced for Halloween (or any occasion). I hope you like this box. If you don't have the Party Banner dies (and why not?) then you can use a rectangular piece of cardstock for the box front & back. It's simple to switch out. To see the video tutorial for how to put this box together, be sure to head on over to my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

A Stampin' Up! sketch card with the 2025 Crafting Advent Calendar stamps
I recently received the new 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar for 2025 by Stampin' Up! I wanted to see what it was all about. My friend Tracy suggested I open one window each day and try to make a card with the contents. Today is Day 1 and I started with just the stamps. The stamps are all occasion stamps, even though the box itself is decorated for Christmas. I thought I would make a card for a December birthday, using just the stamps and some additional cardstock/DSP. Stampin' Up! sent out some sketches to those of us who participated in World Card Making Day last Saturday. I decided to incorporate one of those sketches into my project for today.
You will find the video tutorial for this card over on my YouTube channel.

Birthday cake pop-up card, 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar
Hello everyone. Normally this blog would post on a Sunday morning; however, this would put my advent calendar out of order. I already have one post that way....so let's not do that again. I do have a YouTube video tutorial on how to make this card over on my channel. Today is day 3 and I've used the included stamp set and the contents of windows 1 & 2 on this card.

Party Banner Love & Courage open top box
Hello and welcome back to my blog. Today I'm sharing a treat box I made with the Party Banner dies. I had seen Ronda Wade make a box using the banner dies so I decided to create one for myself. Because it's the beginning of October and Breast Cancer Awareness month, I thought it only fitting to create a box using the Love & Courage stamp set. This set is the Making a Difference fundraiser for Stampin' Up! $3 of each stamp set purchased is donated to a breast cancer organization in each of their markets around the world. I've used multiple techniques in the creation of the box so be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

Fall for Toile Paper Pumpkin alternative cards
Hello all! Today I decided to go with something quite different for me. I've taken the Fall for Toile September 2025 Paper Pumpkin kit and made some alternative cards....sort of. You can watch the video replay here on my YouTube channel. I've taken the card designs and showed how you can maximize your supplies to make additional cards by adding just a few extra supplies.
