One of the cards for my December class is the Double Pocket Fun Fold. This card is so easy to make with just a little folding: You start with an 11x 8-1/2″ piece of Designer Paper and score in half both ways.  Then cut in on one fold to the center.  Fold opposite corners to […]

Happy National Christmas Card Day!  Are your cards started, finished, mailed?   I have quite a stash made, but not many mailed yet.  I guess 2020 is the right year for blue Christmas cards.  My Poinsettia Petals cards were blue and so are these Snowflake Wishes cards for my upcoming class.  But blue is a calming […]

Joy to the World!  Thousands of people are enjoying the latest Paper Pumpkin Kit.  I want to share a few tips to maximize this kit that you can use on other kits as well. These are the two cards, basically made as per the instructions with some minor changes.    If you look at the next […]

There are lots of ways to incorporate curves in your papercrafting.  But one of the easiest is using metal dies such as in the new Quite Curvy bundle by Stampin’ Up!  There is a curve with dots and one with flourishes – perfect for Christmas or any occasion. And here’s a peek at the entire […]

My Christmas Class for this month showcased the Poinsettia Place Suite by Stampin’ Up!  We made a beautiful Card folio and two unique sized cards in shades of blue, white and silver.  Wouldn’t this make a lovely gift? Here’s a closeup of the cover: The folio is a full sheet of Seaside Spray cardstock folded […]

We will again enjoy a technique, favorite layout and fun fold for the Card Class.  The Christmas class will feature […]

I love when you can get twice the bang for your buck (and time) when crafting.  Here are 3 ways to make what I call 2-fer cards with your die cuts. 1. Split Card Technique This technique works best with a large die such as Blossoms in Bloom.  Adhere the nesting die-cuts together and cut […]

The Still Scenes is one of my favorite bundles by Stampin’ Up!  The die cuts are so cute! Use this bundle all year long for many occasions.  Get the stamp/die bundle at 10% off only through December.  Both will carry over to 2020, just not at the bundled pricing. Instructions: I added scraps of Copper […]

My CardClass pdfs are ready for another fun class.  I like to do a Fun Fold, a Technique and a Favorite Layout each month.  Where do I get my ideas?  Many project ideas are provided by Stampin’ Up! and many are shared by fellow demonstrators.  After adding my own touch, it’s hard to narrow it […]

Stampin’ Up! has outdone themselves with this Holiday catalog.  Sales have been very strong, in fact several items are sold out already.  The tree punch is in low inventory, so I would grab one quickly. I’ve made so many different Christmas cards this season that I don’t have time to post them all.  I do […]
