2018 Top Ten

It's interesting to look back through the year's blog posts to see what you liked, and what missed the mark.  And believe me, there were plenty that weren't quite there.  However, my most popular card ever was earlier this year!  

In no particular order, here are my 10 most popular cards from 2018.  You can click on each individual card to go back and take another look at the post if you'd like.

That's the list!  I hope there is a little inspiration there for everyone.

Happy New Year!

And here's to another year of crafting together in 2019!

Beautiful Baubles

I know when I participate in a blog hop some of you don't receive that post.  So, if you think you may have missed the hop, click here to start the hop.  There are some great projects to be seen!

For today's card, I used the Beautiful Baubles bundle.  I stamped the image twice and used the thinlit on one of the images to cut out each of the small ornaments.  Mini Dimensionals were used to pop up the small ornaments.  I used the 2 large circle thinlits to cut the decorative frame from the Merry Merlot glimmer paper.  The greeting was cut out using the Stitched Label Framelits.  All stamping was done in Gray Granite.

Hearts Come Home

If you missed my Facebook post earlier on Monday, the Clearance Rack has been updated.  There are still a lot of great bargains available, so check them out.  Remember, Clearance Rack items are available only while supplies last!  (The broken link on the Shop Now button on the right has been fixed.)

While scrolling through Pinterest one day last week, I fell in love with a card I saw created by Leonie Stuart.  So, I cased ('copy and selectively edit') her card and this is my version!  I love how well the three stamp sets used here work together to create this card.  I also used the new Stitched Rectangle Thinlits here.  I know you will have to add them to your collection.

Filigree Flourish Thanks

In every catalog, there is at least one stamp set that probably does not get the attention that it deserves.  In my opinion, Filigree Flourish from the Holiday catalog is one of those sets.  The elements in this set work well together for some awesome cards, or can be used just as effectively stand alone.  Take a look at the examples I've created using that set to create some holiday thank you's.

First up is a card using only the elements in the stamp set, and a coordinating card stock.

Next up, 3 cards using the Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper from the annual catalog paired with the stamp and coordinating card stock.

Quick and easy cards that pack a big wow.  This stamp set is retiring as of January 2, 2019, but is currently still available.  So, if you haven't added it to your collection, there is still time to do so.
