An Oldie But Goodie!

Good morning crafters! In our excitement in getting new toys (stamps), we often forget about some equally gorgeous stamp sets that have not been used in a while. So, for today’s project, I decided to bring out one of my favorite stamp sets and pair the, older but still gorgeous, Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set with the new Sun Prints Designer Series Paper. Because I wanted to keep it gray and… Read More »

The pumpkin was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Thick Basic White Cardstock. I then colored it… Read More »

You can create a beautiful sunset scene using the retired Horizons Designer Series Paper and the large die from Grove Dies. And, if you want to make masculine cards simply, yet striking, then the Grassy Grove Bundle is for you!

A Just for You Easel Fun Fold Card

Today’s card features the Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set Bundle. These guys are so cute and I have fun trying to decide how use them in my cards. Today’s card also includes a horizontal easel fun fold card. I usually make the portrait ones but decided but the gnomes and their house did not fit. The background pattern paper and the hats are from the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 Designer Series… Read More »

Wishing You the Lovelest Day with Harvest Hello

Today’s card features a Double Dutch Door Fun Fold Card. Though I think it should be called a Triple Dutch door Fun Fold since there are 3 parts that open and close. For the card, I’m using Hello Harvest Bundle and the retired Come to Gather Designer Series Paper. I absolutely love the colors in this DSP. I typed out a sketch with score lines but closed out “Word” and… Read More »

This is what I did: Gnome Image Stamped… Read More »
