Peace on Earth (and on my Craft Table)
This AALL & Create memorydex card started as a fall idea but quickly turned festive! I turned a tattered leaf die into a Christmas tree and gave a fall image a holiday makeover. With snowy splatter and bright colors, it’s proof that creativity loves a little mischief. Have a wonderfully creative day!
Gingerbread Joy – Times Two!
These holiday cards feature two variations from the Simon Says Stamp Gingerbread Joy stamp set, each brought to life with holly sprigs, silver thread, and a glittery snowflake backdrop. Small images became the stars of the design in this festive duo from the Sugar and Spice release.
Watermelon Ice Cream
Inspired by a craving for watermelon ice cream, I used the Fountain Wishes die set from Spellbinders’ Happier Hourcollection to create a playful summer sundae. The pink and green layers give the design a bright, juicy look, while black paint splatters and clear sequins add fun detail. The sentiment “Have the sweetest birthday” makes it perfect for any celebration. Have a wonderfully creative day!
Creep it Cute
This “creep it cute” tag combines AALL & Create Fright Bites characters with a rub-on-and-gesso background for just the right mix of texture and clean simplicity. A playful bat in a tea cup and a quirky Halloween cutie make this tag perfect for spooky-season gifting.
Joy & Peace
This bold snowflake design from the Simon Says Stamp Sugar and Spice release shines with a distressed watercolor background made with Distress Spray Stains. A shiny gold sentiment and a touch of gold twine keep the look festive and polished.
A Bold Halloween Glow
This bold Halloween card glows with fiery ink blending and a whimsical witch-and-cat duo from the Moonlight Mischief set at AALL & Create. I kept the design grounded with grass from the Frightful Fun die set and accented with vintage Halloween labels.
Bright Books & Big Glasses
I’m thrilled to share that this bright and happy card was featured in the 2025 Fall/Winter issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine! 🦉🍎 It’s a fun nod to back-to-school season — for kids and adults — with its rainbow stack of books, big-eyed owl, and textured alphabet background. I wrapped it up with some black-and-white twine and finished it with one of my favorite sentiments: “You are never too old to learn.” Whether it’s for a teacher, student, or lifelong learner, this card is all about celebrating curiosity and growth — perfect for fall!
Peace & Love at Christmas
A festive holly sprig, a loopy red bow, and a bold, distressed sentiment strip make this Christmas card from the Simon Says Stamp Sugar and Spice release feel like an instant classic. I finished it with sparkling gems against a clean white background for an elegant, timeless look.
A Haunted Storybook Scene
This project was pure Halloween fun! A Storybook House die, a crackled Lava Lamp stencil background, and a quirky cast of characters from the Fright Bites stamp set – all from AALL & Create – turned into a little play on my desk—complete with a bat in a teacup opening the shutters.
Merry & Bright
This “merry & bright” card from the new Simon Says Stamp Sugar and Spice release features inlaid die cuts, festive icons, and a playful color palette. I added sparkle with gold ribbon and a foiled sentiment for a polished finish that feels joyful and modern.
