Best Brunch Buddy Ever
The November Stamp and Die of the Month from Spellbinders might just be my favorite set of the year. I paired it with the coordinating Embossing Folder of the Month and created a soft background using the “ink smooshing” technique with Distress Oxides. The playful focal image was colored with Copic markers and finished with a few sparkling gems. Have a wonderfully creative day!
Season of Magic + A Blog Hop
The 2025 Holiday Dies from Simon Says Stamp are designed to coordinate perfectly with Tim Holtz stamps, and they add incredible detail to this festive holly design. Layered leaves, rich color, and metallic accents create dimension and shine, all tied together with a soft white ribbon. Classic, cozy, and full of handmade magic. Have a wonderfully creative day!
Winter Bloom + New Dies!!!
The 2025 Holiday Dies from Simon Says Stamp coordinate perfectly with Tim Holtz stamps, making it easy to achieve stunning precision and layered texture. This bold poinsettia takes center stage against a moody navy background, with snowflake accents, frosted splatter, and a vintage metal charm adding extra depth. Have a wonderfully creative day!
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.
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.
