Today's card is the last in the series featuring the Yummy Christmas and Cuckoo Clock dies - plus it uses the stamp set that is one that I will be giving away in a drawing on November 1!  Here you go: I love that this stamp set was the inspiration for 4 such different projects! This time I went traditional red and green since the last card was a very non traditional 'flamingo and seascape'!  (but WAIT til you see what's coming next up!!) The berries are covered in the … [Read more...] about Quick and Easy Retro Style DIY Christmas Card

Today's tutorial continues with the series using the Yummy Christmas gingerbread house set - but no house in site! Here you go: This time I just chose the trees for a simpler Christmas card - still keeping with an overall retro feel card. And I used a liberal piece of the fabulous Mercury Acetate - because.....BEAUTIFUL!! It's hard to get a good picture of the depth and textures in the card - it is one you do need to see 'in real life' - so come to camp in October!  It is … [Read more...] about Retro Christmas Snowy Mercury Card

Today's tutorial continues on from the Oktoberfest Clock to the Gingerbread House!  See how creative the dies are - you can get the one die set - and it works with both the stamp sets! How fun is that?  So Clever - nice to get a 2 for one, eh? The gingerbread house is such fun.  I have a unfinished project on my desk - I know you will love it...when it is done!  It is not a card.  We have so many memories that are fun to capture and pull out again each Christmas and this set will … [Read more...] about Yummy Christmas Gingerbread House

Today's project started out to be a Gingerbread House.  When I pulled it out and went to get the dies - I realized I had yet to stamp with the set that is actually the bundle that GOES with the dies.  And it is completely adorable. Perfect images for both autumn AND Oktoberfest!  I share how the dies work together and alternate ways to use the images at the start of the video! Don't let the "interactive" part of the card scare you.  As you saw in the video, it's super simple! I … [Read more...] about Gingerbread House Dies….Oktoberfest Style! Cuckoo Clock Bundle

Camp is tomorrow - and I have my last camp project finally done!  I was inspired by my 3D project from the Holiday Catalog Training Class we did earlier this month.  You can see that project in the video.  You can also see why my sample cards go two different ways...whoops! At first glance Perfectly Plaid is a Christmas Bundle.  But take the words out and then have a second look.  With the pine cones you can easily see it for your fall projects.  But what about coloring the not so pine-y … [Read more...] about Quick & Easy Fall Birthday Card: Perfectly Plaid

Let's start with where the card came from!  Most of you know that we just finished up some fabulous training events for the Holiday Catalog.  If you were a demonstrator - or just someone who loves to stamp - we had versions for all of you!  There were 9 projects.  Our 'featured bundle' was the Perfectly Plaid.  The girls that … [Read more...] about Triple Fold Flip Card: Super Easy Snowman Season!

Well - I missed Friday!  So - here is a rare Saturday post, tutorial - to be followed with an email later tonight.  Yesterday mid morning I had an appointment to get some old old fillings replaced and it ended up being much longer (with more drugs and recovery than anticipated) I had planned.  Since I am my own boss by the time I got home - I told myself to take the rest of what was left of the afternoon off (it wasn't much....) Welcome to your Saturday tutorial! This will be a card we … [Read more...] about Autumn Leaves and Pumpkins: Watercoloring with Refills and Aqua Painter & Come To Gather
