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.
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.
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.
Guest Designing for AALL & Create: Whimsically Spooky
Kicking off my guest design journey with AALL & Create, I paired my clean-and-simple style with their whimsical “Moonlight Mischief” stamps. A spooky sky, a quirky witch, and her feline sidekick tell the story on this card front. Products are linked on my blog and available from www.aallandcreate.com and stockists worldwide.
