Poinsettia Petals

 The Poinsettia Petals stamp set and bundle are the best selling products from the fall mini catalog.  Have you done any crafting with them?  I love today's card with a very vanilla poinsettia and a whisper white background.

I added Wink of Stella to the petals and leaves.  And the greeting is cut out with the Hippo & Friends Dies.

Snowflake Wishes and a Free Project Sheet

It's hard to believe Thanksgiving is Thursday.  At times this year has crawled by, and at other times the days have gone by a little more quickly.  But here we are on the eve of "The Holidays".  So with that, today I'm sharing a very simple Christmas card that you can quickly make in batches.

The Designer Series Paper does the heavy lifting for this card.  And while I used Pool Party for my primary color, the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper also features images using Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana, Balmy Blue, Pacific Point, Misty Moonlight, and Night of Navy.  So it's easy to vary the colors, while keeping the essence of the card the same.  The little snowflake die cut I added?  I used some glimmer paper that was still in my stash, but you can easily substitute with a foil.

To access the free project sheet for this card click here.

The Merry & Bright Online Extravaganza has been extended for one more day!  Place your order before 11:59PM MT on November 25 to receive the sale prices!

Enjoy The Moment - Sneak Peek!

 Yesterday marked my 1700th published blog post!  Quite an achievement for someone that thought she would give blogging a try in August 2013!  To the very few of you that have been along from the beginning - thank you!

Today I'm sharing a couple of sneak peeks from the January - June 2021 Mini Catalog.  A new stamp set - and a new tool!

First, take a look at my card.

The stamp set is called Enjoy the Moment.  It consists of 8 drawn images and 5 greetings.  It's a great set packed with versatility that I know you will love.  I used the new "tool" on the base of the image panel - we have new Blending Brushes!

Blending brushes create a very soft finish, unlike what is achieved with sponges or daubers.  I used the Blending Brush over the entire surface of the panel and then daubers along the edge.  Another very cool feature of the Blending Brush?  The image above has been used and rinsed with cool water!  And it still looks brand new!

They are sold in a pack of 3 for $12.00

As you can see, the new catalog is coming soon!  And it's time for me to order catalogs to be sent to you.  So, if you would like to receive a catalog and you are not currently working with another demonstrator, message me.  I would love to send a catalog to you!

The host code for November is QPJHDJ3K.   Please use this code when placing an order when your order is less than $150.00. If your order is over than $150.00, do not use the code.  Doing so would forfeit your earned hostess benefits.  You will still receive this month's ordering bonus from me.

Warm & Toasty Notecards

This strange year just goes on and on.  I was recently thinking about all the kids that have been separated from grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins for most of the year.  And how hard it must be for them.  So, I created some notecards using the Warm and Toasty stamp set and a pack of Whisper White Notecards & Envelopes to make these cards.  I packaged them with a 4 pack of crayons and think they would be a great gift for a young kid.  They can color the cards and send them to the people they are missing.  And think how delighted the recipients will be to get a card from the younger children!

Beautiful Autumn Thanksgiving

 Thanksgiving is next week - and I'm looking forward to the holiday!  Of course this year many of us won't be able to spend time with as many as is their custom.   I recently made a few cards using the lovely Beautiful Autumn stamp set to sent to family and friends we won't get to see.

I stamped a variety of images from Beautiful Autumn along the left side of the card in Soft Suede.  I then stamped the inside of each image using a lighter color.

The greeting is from Banner Year and is stamped in Cinnamon Cider ink.  Finally, I covered the stamped images with a splatter stamp from the Waterfront stamp set.
