Throwback Merriest Trees meets Merry Mischief & hot foil

I had the idea for this card in my head but didn't have any current trees to make it come together.  The Merry Mischief bundle doesn't have trees because it has a giant mushroom house for the gnomes!  I love it so much; however, the mushroom wasn't what I was looking for in the moment.  I search my retired inventory and found the largest tree from Merriest Trees fit the idea perfectly.  It's whimsical and just the right size.  So, I grabbed it, added the gnome, then decorated with the Christmas Epoxy dots and I have to say, I love the way it turned out.  In case you hadn't noticed, there's a sneak peek of November Online Exclusives product on my card today.  I had to see if the new mulberry paper could be hot foiled, so I decided to give my Starry Night plate a try on the paper.  It worked so well!  I was actually quite surprised and I thought the fibers in the mulberry paper really add to the look of the night sky I was going for.  I created this project during a Thursday night live over on YouTube so you can head on over and watch the video tutorial by  clicking this direct link.

Santa's coming to town fun fold card

Hi everyone!  This week my featured bundle is Festive Friends.  These little characters were just screaming for me to color them and so they jumped in my shopping cart and were soon on their way to me.  I saw this fun fold last week by Deb Smeak, a fellow demonstrator and decided I needed to recreate it.  It's such an easy fun fold to make and it's quick.  Easy to reproduce if you are making a lot of cards.  To see how I've put it together, you can watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link. Use what you have on hand or if you would like to order this bundle, click on the shopping cart to the right.  I'd love to earn your business.
