Christmas is fast approaching and what better way to spread Christmas Cheer than with a cute little snowman. This card is adorable and so easy to make, using the Let it Snow stamp set and the Frosted Foliage Bundle. I wish I could take credit for the design but I cannot. I don’t remember who came up with this design but I loved it so much I had to make one too. I showcased this card in one of my classes and everyone had a blast making up this card. How can you not smile when you see the happy snowman playing in the snow.

I love the colours of green and gold together and I cannot believe how easy this card was to make up. Everything on the card comes with the purchased bundle so nothing else is needed.
I made up this beautiful card as both a landscape and a portrait card and I cannot decide which one I love more. I used the Mossy Meadow ink to stamp the boughs and the Metallic ink pad to stamp the acorns. I stamped the sentiment on the front in Gold on one and Mossey Meadow on the other. It works so well with the gold edge mettalic ribbon. So what is your favourite, the portrait card or the landscape card.

Any sort of paper crafting begins with that beautiful first cut. Whether you are making cards, scrap books or 3D paper projects, having the right tool for the job is kind of a big deal.
I am so excited to share with you, our new Paper Trimmer which just became available as of today. The new Paper Trimmer is lightweight, portable, and perfect for making stable and straight cuts! Not only does it cut beautifully, but it also allows you to score lines to make folding paper perfect the first time. The new cutting blade is larger and the extendable arm folds out so even 12 x 12 ” paper fits beautifully and with clear measurements in both Imperial and metric, you cannot go wrong. I used to use a different brand of paper trimmer and I cannot compare the two, this is just so much better. I am hooked and I know you will be too.

Who doesn’t love a sale? Well October 23 is the big day to save? This is the perfect time to add to your supplies and save some money. Don’t craft? How about purchasing a stamp set for someone who loves to craft, as a Christmas present? Trust me, they will love it.

Well it does. It takes place every year, on the first Saturday of October. This special day encourages everyone in the whole wide world, to make a homemade card. I sure bet the card companies won’t like that!
Yesterday, I held a card making workshop to celebrate World Card Making Day. We got together to make 2 cards each of 5 different designs for a total of 10 cards to take home. With Christmas within sight, it also gives you a head start on your Christmas cards. I know a lot of people don’t send cards anymore which is a shame. Collecting your mail and receiving a special card from someone makes you smile and what better way to spread the smiles than to send a card.
People give one another cards to celebrate birthday celebrations, wedding ceremonies, accomplishments and much more, in addition to commiserate or support. But exactly how much does your sentiment mean, if it is simply purchased from a retail chain with little thought? Taking a bit of your time to make something sincere on your own, and show the recipient that you’ve really considered them means so much more to the recipient. It shows you care.
I started working on my Christmas crafts because Christmas is only 84 days away, can you believe it? Tick Tock…
I remember having chocolate treats hanging on our Christmas tree as a kid. These cute little treats can be stuffed with a chocolate of your choice but is the perfect size for a single Ferrero Rocher chocolate and who doesn’t love those.
You can hang this on a tree or it can be placed at your table setting for a cute look. Of course, it is also a wonderful little thank you gift to show appreciation to people you deal with every day.
They could be fully customized to suit any occasion such as wedding favours or baby shower gifts. You are only limited by imagination
Using the die cut in this set, I cut out the keepsake and tags, then folded it up. I stamped a sentiment on the tag and to dress them up a bit I used the Sprig Punch to punch out some leaves and glued them to the back of the tag. This of course is optional but I like how it looks.
I threaded a ribbon through the tag hole and tied it to the handle of the treat box. How easy is that?
I love the Feels Like Frost suite. Between the stamps & Die Cuts, and the Designer Series Paper, they make card making easy.
If you would like to make this beautiful card, join me for the an afternoon of card making. This card is just one of five designs we will be making on October 5th (12-4pm). You will make 2 of each design so you will have 10 hand crafted cards to take home.
Please contact me if you are interested. There is still room to participate. Can’t make the date? Contact me to discuss options

Hi everyone, it has been over a month since I have done any crafting due to travelling and some construction taking place. I cannot believe the withdrawal I experienced during this time. Crafting is such a stress reliever because you can forget about everything else going on in your life, for just a little while.
I strongly believe that thank you cards are important to show appreciation. I am overdue with some thank you cards so I made up this card as a thank you for an order placed to my business.
I cut the Highland Heather card stock to 5 1/2″ by 11″ and folded in half to make the card base. I cut two Whisper White card stock at 5 1/4 x 4″ One for the inside and one for the front of the card.
Using the Highland Heather ink pad, I then stamped the Image from the “A little Lace” stamp set and then stamped the sentiment from the “Daisy Lane” stamp set for the front of the card
After adhering the front, I adhered the second Whisper White card stock to the inside of the card. I left this blank so I could write my own comments to the inside.
