Holy Night
This card, made with the Holy Night stamp set from Simon Says Stamp’s And Everything Nice release, captures the quiet beauty of Christmas. Soft ink blending, gentle tones, and a glittery star bring a peaceful reverence to the design. Have a wonderfully creative day.
Peace and Quiet Sparkle
A cozy winter scene made with AALL & Create products: a Copic-colored angel, a friendly bird, and a soft green tree over a lightly ink-blended, snowflake-speckled background. I stacked a rosy geometric frame and a silver “Peace” sentiment for quiet shine. A dimensional snowbank adds depth with its raised, glittery finish. Have a wonderfully creative day!
Sending Smiles with Every Step
The November Stamp and Die of the Month from Spellbinders inspired this lighthearted design featuring a whimsical walking figure colored with Copic markers. I paired her with the coordinating Embossing Folder of the Month, using the de-bossed side for soft, stitched texture. Layered banners, a hint of lime twine, and a few gem accents finish this clean and confident look.
Joy to You
This AALL & Create card captures the quiet calm of a winter evening. Soft ink-blended snowbanks, a gentle lamplight glow, and a cozy caroler in green create a peaceful, storybook feel. Simple layers created using handmade stencils add subtle depth. Have a wonderfully creative day!
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!
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!
