Good Morning my stamping friends! Today I am sharing my card for the "It's a Lawn Fawn Christmas" series. This is episode 3! This card is a North Pole inspired scene and it is a shaker, cause they are my fave card to make!
This scene speaks Christmas to me.
The Ho-Ho-Holidays is one of my favorite Christmas stamp sets, I just love a cute Santa. I also brought in the Holiday Helpers stamp set as well as the Holiday Village set. It's Christmas Eve and Santa is getting ready for his big night. Ms. Claus knows the only thing Santa eats on this day is milk and cookies, but she knows how to take care of her man, she's snuck in some flax and chia seeds in those cookies. And a little collagen protein powder in the milk goes undetected too! The little elf is rounding up Rudolph with his favorite treat. Now it's time to load up the sleigh.
You can watch the making of this card in the video below.
I LOVE the sound they make inside the card. And they look so wintery like icy snow.
You can see the shaker element better in this picture, aren't they so pretty. And you can get a good look at the images here as well. I used COPIC Markers to color all my images, you can see how in the video, I keep my coloring pretty simple. But I love coloring and enjoy it so much.
How about the polka dot apron? I would totally wear that!
Two very awesome die sets helped to bring this card to life. In the background I used the new Stitched Snowflake backdrop die. I can not even tell you how much I love having stitched snowflake cut into my paper, it makes me giddy! And my shaker frame is from the Forest Backdrop die set. Which has cute trees in the front. You can't see them too much, because Santa has so many things to put in the sleigh this year, but I did cut the top layer of the trees from light green glitter paper.
This card just makes me happy! Thank you so much for letting me share it with you! All the supplies I used are listed for you below.

YAY! It is time for Episode Two of my "It's a Lawn Fawn Christmas" series. This week I am featuring the Eat, Sleep, and Be Merry stamp set from Stamptember. This set was designed by Lawn Fawn for Simon Says Stamp for their big annual event in September. Meaning that is is a limited time offer and when they are gone they are gone. So, that being said, this set did sell out FAST. So fast, I was not able to get the coordinating die set, only the stamp set. So, today I am going to show you how I used my Silhouette Cameo and the PixScan mat to cut out stamped images when I don't have a die set. That also means that you are not able to purchase the stamp set I am using today at Simon Says Stamp. I bet a lot of you reading this might already have this stamp set!
This card started with the All Spruced Up Slimline frame stamp. This stamp made for the perfect scene for these Christmas Sloths. Behind them is a nigh sky created with Black Soot Distress Oxide ink and a lot of snowy splatter.
I used COPIC Markers to color in my images. I found these images be very easy to color. Using a white gel pen for highlights after coloring helps bring the images to life.
I just love this sloth in the stocking so much! I used him again on my tag.
If you look closely at this card you can not only see splatters of snow but some patches of 3D snow, which was done using Stencil Paste in Pearl. It makes great snow. AND I am giving a jar of it away this week! To enter the giveaway you just need to leave a comment on the video for this post over on YouTube.
Now let's take a look at the coordinating tag.
This snowflake die is soooooo super cute, I mean, just DARLING. I thought it would make a great gift tag that doubles as an ornament.
This is a shaker tag filled with white sand. It makes for the perfect snow. I found it at the craft store where they were selling items to make fairy houses.
Thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back again next week with another episode in the "It's a Lawn Fawn Christmas" series. Watch for it on Tuesday.
And if you missed episode one, using Tiny Winter People in a Magic Iris card, you can watch it right here.

Hello there my stamping friends! Today I am pulling out my Distress Christmas products to make this card.
Can you spot the 4 Distress products I used? In the background I used Winterberry and Peppermint Stick Distress Mica Spray Stains. On the Window for my Cupcake Shop I added some Icicle paste for some icy crackle. And last but not least I added Snowfall paste along the outside of the window and top of the sign. You can see how I did it in the video below.
I love all the different textures that adding shimmer, pastes and glitters gives to a project. Not to mention the tiny clay candy bits!!!
Here is a great close up look at all the textures in this card as well as the fun holiday themed cupcakes from the Jolly Cupcake stamp set. I love the HoHoHo Cupcake shop. And now I need some cake! LOL.
This card is not a shaker card, but could easily to made into one. I just loved the idea of a window display of cupcakes in a store front.
Below I have listed the supplies I used to make this card. However, most of the Distress Christmas products have sold out, as I was a limited time offering. But don't let that stop you from using the sprays and pastes and glitters in your stash to make something similar. Just play and have fun!

You might look at this Large Poinsettia stamp from Trinity Stamps and think that would be fun to color, but what else could I do with it???
Today I am going to share with you 3 ways to use this beautiful Poinsettia that do not involve coloring at all. Each of these cards has a vintage vibe to it and are special cards that are made not just with paper but with love.
It is best to see how these cards came together, check out this video to see my process:
The moral of this card is a very famous proverb, Necessity is the mother of invention. When I masked off my watercolored Poinsettia I did not realize that the masking paper I used was actually sticker paper! That lead to my watercolored poinsettia being covered in glitter. I did not want to start over as I already had such a beautiful inky background. And in the end, I love how it turned out.
As far as the watercolored Poinsettia goes, it is super easy. I used Distress ink cubes in Fired Brick and Rustic Wilderness to ink up the stamp. Then I spritzed the stamp with water several times and stamped it down on to my watercolor paper. The result is this beautiful flowy Christmas floral. Then I masked off the flower using the largest die in the coordinating die set and "masking paper". With the flower covered I was then able to stamp the Encouragement Text background stamp around that. Which was inked up with Vintage Photo Distress ink and spritzed with water before stamping down. Then it was time for splattering. I splattered and ink smooshed Vintage Photo, Fired Brick and Rustic Wilderness. And after I added the die cut sentiment I splattered even more with some white acrylic paint.
Each of my cards has a certain feel to it. The feel of the first card is Christmas Fruit Cake, the colors just remind me of that colorful creation. So, I call it with Poinsettia Fruit Cake card. This next card is the Poinsettia Christmas Fireplace card. Think of the soot around the fireplace, where bits of coal have fallen off Santa's boots, but not into your stocking.
I just love how this card turned out.
It all started with a ink smooshed background in Fired Brick. Then I stamped the poinsettia over the top with Vintage Photo ink, spritzing it with water before stamping it down. When that was dry I use a fine liner pen and sketched out the poinsettia. The point is to make it look very sketchy, not perfect. I also decided to make the entire image be just the poinsettia and not have green leaves. It was very easy to sketch the leaves to look like more petals of the flower. Then I masked off the image, with actually masking paper this time. I stamped the same background stamp with Black Soot Distress ink and water. Then I did a bit of water coloring with the same colors of ink. Adding red highlights to the petals and a black shadow around the flower. White splatter finished it off.
I wanted to carry the glitter element over to this card as well, since it was an unexpected addition to the first card, why not challenge myself to add it to each card I was creating.
So, I used Black Mica flakes in the corners, I was a bit nervous doing this as the card has so much work put into it at this point. BUT, it really adds a WOW factor to this card.
This next card I call Poinsettia Christmas Postcard.
For this card I wanted to utilize the 4 piece coordinating die set and make a layered poinsettia. To color this up I used Distress Mica Spray Stains. Now, I know these are sold out and if you did not get these you could use Distress Spray or Distress Oxide Spray for this technique. After spraying you could add shimmer to it with lots of other products. I will link one I love in the supplies below, Sparkle Silk.
With my sprayed Peppermint Stick Panel and Tree Lot Panel I then stamped the poinsettia once on the green and twice on the red. I die cut them and layers them up with foam squares. For the center of the flower I used Flickering Candle. When you turn this piece in the light the shimmer is lovely.
The background was stamped with the Encouragement Text background stamp in Pealed Paint Distress Oxide ink. Spritzing this with water before stamping it, really gave it a glow! I then splattered it with Broomstick Mica Spray.
The glitter I used on the edges of this card is Tinsel Distress Glitter. And how about those Forest Fern Baubles, they are just the perfect embellishment for the card. All of the baubles I used are from Trinity Stamps and can be found in the supplies below.
I'd love to know if you have a favorite. I think mine is the Poinsettia Fireplace card. I am so proud of myself for sketching that poinsettia and I just love the look. But truly I had so much fun playing and getting inky making these cards.
Thank you so much for stopping by and I will see you soon with more creations.

Hello my stamping friends. This month, for my Stamp Set of the Month series, I am actually focusing on a stamp company instead of one stamp set. Each week in November I will be bringing you a Christmas video featuring Lawn Fawn products.
This week I am sharing a Magic Iris Snowglobe card and two Tiny Gift Boxes both featuring the Tiny Winter Friends stamp set.
I love this stamp set, Tiny Winter friends even more than I thought I would!
You can see this card and these Tiny Gift Box Ornaments come to life in the video below.
Here is a close up look at the Magic Iris Snowglobe card.
I brought in a few other stamp sets to go with my Tiny Winter Friends, like Tiny Christmas for the Santa and Winter village for the house.
I colored up the girls to look like my girls inside the snow globe.
Now let's check out the Tiny Gift Boxes that I added a mini scene of Tiny Friends to.
Look how darling these little friends are on the front of this box! I made these for my girls and they will hang in the tree for them to get a little gift in on Christmas.
I made this darling girl to look like my daughter Hannah. That candy cane is the smallest candy cane in all the land, incase you were wondering! And I love it! You can see on the side of the box I added the initial "H" from Oliver's Stitched ABC's to personalize the box even more.
I also added a bow to the top as well as twine so it can hang from the tree. And on the side, Merry Christmas from the Say What Holiday Critters stamp set that was a free gift with purchase from Lawn Fawn.
I also love the idea of using these boxes as advent boxes on a tiny tree! Add numbers to the side of them instead of initials!
If you'd like a chance to win the Tiny Winter Friends stamp set, head over to my YouTube channel and leave a comment on this video. I will pick a winner at random and announce them on next week's episode.
Below you will find all the products I used listed and linked for you. See you soon with more crafty inspiration!

It's time to check out the Large Die of the Month for November 2021 from Spellbinders. Once I again, I am blown away by how gorgeous this die set is! And the versatility. Several of the dies in this set can be used on any card, not just for Christmas. This die set is called Christmas Foliage Strips & Borders. There are 13 dies in this set, four of which are slimline border dies.
First, let's take a look at the card and gift tag I made with this new die set.
Look at the foliage, so very pretty. For these projects I went for a vintage Christmas vibe. You can see the backgrounds created and this die set in action in the video below.
I had so much fun making the backgrounds for these projects. First I did some ink blending with Distress Oxide ink; Black Soot for the bottom and Rustic Wilderness for the top. The next step was splatter. I used water, Distress Mica Sprays, and distress oxide ink. I just love how they turned out.
But the star of this show is all the amazing die cuts. You can see all the foliage dies here, layered on top of the border die. To add a bit of interest to my die cut foliage I used a W4 or W6 marker to add shading and then spritzed the pieces with Distress Mica Spray stain.
Once all the pieces were mounted to the card I added more splatter, this time with white acrylic paint for a snowy effect.
After making this card I has several die cut foliage pieces left over and so I used them to make a gift tag.
Do you see the sentiments I used on today's projects? They were stamped and embossed using the Clear Stamp of the Month for November, also from Spellbinders. I love that they coordinate the products in the different club kits to work together. This month's set is called Around the Holidays and now you can get a die set to coordinate with it!
I used all the same techniques for this tag as I did on the card, but have to point out that lacy trim round the bottom of the tag. That is one of the slimline border dies from this months die set, but it can also be used on other sized cards/projects as well.
Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me share these projects with you.
All of the November Club kit offerings are listed and linked for you below as well as the supplies I used to make these projects.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and I would love to hear from you, so feel free to comment below as well.

Hello my stamping friends. Today I am creating with the November Stamp of the Month from Not 2 Shabby! It's the Cup of Cheer Stamp set. This set is available to purchase now or you can subscribe and get the Stamp of the Month set each month! And what is super cool is that now you can also get the coordinating die set with it if you like!
Take a look at the three cards I made using this new stamp set.
The images in this set are so darling with their cute little faces. Plus, I just love penguins!
Watch the video to see this stamp set in action and these cards come together.
For each of these cards I used small images in the stamp set to stamp and emboss a background. I love making my own backgrounds and embossing a repeating image with white embossing powder is a classic technique that can be used with so many stamp sets. I also used the same layout for each of these cards. Repeating the same layout and design elements really made it easy to create three cards. I only had to think of one idea and then repeat that with new colors and new stamped images.
To get my images ready for coloring I stamped them with Versafine Onyx Black ink and embossed them with clear powder on Bristol Smooth Card Stock. Then I used two shades of each color to get some shading when I colored. I also go the lighter areas on my image with the used of the Blender Pen. These markers blend with each other beautifully. Watch the video to see them in action.
Marshmallow stamps, so simple, so super cute! Love them! And this little cup with the smiley face is just darling.
On this card especially you can see the splatter in the background that is real life is shimmery, as I used Perfect Pearls to make the splatter.
I finished off these cards with some sequins, which came with my order. I little sampler of sequins that had great options to coordinate with these cards.
These cards were simple to make and easy to replicate. But mostly, I had fun making them and that is what makes for a great card.
You can find the Stamp of the Month for November, Cup Of Cheer right HERE.
If you like the Stamp of the Month from Not 2 Shabby you are going to LOVE the Box of the Month! Arctic Winter is the cutest collection of winter critter stamps, paper packs, Ephemera and embellishments.
Now let's take a close up look at each of the cards.
NOTE: Before creating my cards I stamped out all the image in the Penguin Party stamp set, colored them and die cut them out to be ready for card making. And while I had the stamps on my MISTI, I stamped them out several times so I could add as many images as I wanted and I would have some ready to go for future use if I had left overs.
Here are all the Copic Markers I used to color my images:
Penguins: N8, N6, N4
Beak and Flippers: Y15, Y17
Red Things: R46, R29, R17
Teal: BG32, BG11
Shading for White areas: N2, N0

1. Stencil the Snowflake background stencils and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.
2. Trace the opening of the die cut Magic Iris Snowflake onto the card front where you want the shaker panel to be.
3. Die cut around this traced circle with a circle die about the same size or slightly bigger. Approximate size of the circle is 1-3/4".
4. Adhere one of the window sheets to the back of the opening.
5. Adhere the snowflake to the front of the card, right around the circle.
6. Stamp your sentiment before assembling your shaker.
7. Add foam tape to the back of the card front all around your window, making sure the ends of the foam tape touch so that none of your shaker elements can escape. Add some extra foam tape to the top and bottom of this panel as well so the card front will be sturdy on the card base.
8. Add in your shaker elements, I used micro beads and seed beads. Remove the backing off the foam tape that is around the window. Adhere your second window sheet here.
9. Remove the rest of the backing from the foam tape and add glue to the foam tape that is covered by the window sheet, assuring a good hold when you now add this panel to the card base.
10. Add your stamped images to the center of the shaker.
11. Embellish with some rhinestones or bling of your choice.
CARD TWO
Card Base: 8-3/4" x 7-1/2", scored at 3-3/4"
Card Front: 8-1/2" x 3-1/2", die cut using the Large Slimline Die set from Lawn Fawn
Let it Snow Sentiment: 4" x 4" of glitter paper
Hill: 4" x 1-1/2" of glitter paper
Scrap of white card stock to stamp talk bubble
1. Die cut the Card Front panel from white card stock using the Large Slimline Die form the Large Slimline with Sliders die set from Lawn Fawn. This gives the paper a stitched edge. Or you can just cut a piece of white card stock to 8-1/2" x 3-1/2".
2. While this die is out die cut a pice of glitter card stock to create a hill, I used a scrap that was about 4" x 1-1/2", only cutting the bottom and sides. I the die cut the top with one of the Simple Stitched Borders, to create the hill to build my scene on. Set this aside.
3. Back to the card front panel, ink the the bottom 1/4 of the panel withe Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.
4. Ink the top 3/4 of the panel with Black Soot Distess Oxide ink, blending it lightly with the Salvaged Patina.
5. Spritz the panel with water from a spray bottle. Blot up the excess water after a minute with paper towel or cloth. Next splatter on some Liquid Stardust using a paint brush. Lastly, splatter on some white acrylic paint that has been thinned out with a bit of water. Set this aside to dry.
6. If you want your die cut "Let it Snow" to be more sturdy and stand out off the card a bit back it with one or two additional die cuts of this image from white card stock.
7. Stamp the talk bubble in black in on white card stock and the "warm wishes" in Lobster ink in the center and cut this out. Both images are from a free with purchase set from Lawn Fawn called "Say What? Holiday Critters". If you do not have this shop your stash and find something that will work for you.
8. When the background panel is dry adhere the sentiment, hill and images. I popped up my igloo, penguin and talk bubble with foam squares and glued the other pieces.
9. Adhere the card front to the card base.
10. Add some Winter White gems in and around the scene for accent to finish off this card.

2. Die cut two hills using a scrap of white paper and the Simple Stitched Border die set. If you do not own this die set, hand cutting some hills is really easy to do.
3. Add some Salvaged Patina ink the the center of the card for a highlight. And add a bit of this ink to the tops of the hills.
4. Splatter the background and hills with Liquid Stardust.
5. Stamp the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Magic Holiday Message stamp set on a circle that is about 1-3/4" with VersaFine Onyx Black or VersaMark ink and emboss with black embossing powder.
6. Also from the Merry Holiday Message set, stamp the holly image twice, color and die cut.
7. Adhere the hills to the bottom of the card front, layering one behind the other.
8. Stamp "North Pole" from the Penguin Party stamp set on the sign with the stripes in black ink. Glue this to the back or top hill on the card.
9. Glue the string of lights to the igloo and glue this to the card, as well as the puff of smoke so it looks like it came out of the chimney.
10. Pop up the Penguins on the front hill. The penguin on the left is holding a present and the baby penguin on the right is holding a fish for a gift exchange.
11. Pop up the sentiment on the top of the card, in the center. Glue a holly image to each corner on the top of the card.
12. Adhere the card front to the card base.

I am super excited that in the latest Trinity Stamps release there is a new stamp set designed by Love, Dani! I adore her art, it is very much my style. She incorporates her inspiring word art with images. The newest image is Warm Heart. It features a heart wearing a scarf and hat and the sentiment says, "You Warm My Heart". The word art is often open, so that you can coloring the letters. AND, too coordinate with this set Trinity Stamps has a great die set to go with. You can cut out the words in this sentiment and the images! The heart, the scarf and the hat. They are paper piecing dies, which gives you so many possibilities.
For my card today I paper pieced the scarf for more 3D detail. I used one of my favorite Christmas color combinations for this card and it makes me so happy, let's check it out.
Look at that adorable image! And how about that background... it is the Mini Slimline Geometric Cut Out Panel. I thought it looked like a nordic sweater pattern done tone on tone like this.
Here is a close up so you can see the dimension I got by paper piecing the scarf. I love the mix of coloring and paper piecing. Having a lot of different textures on my cards is so much fun to me.
Speaking of texture. I use scraps of corrugated card stock as an accent and it is just delightful.
For embellishment I used Diamond Stickles and Cinnamon Red Hots Jelly Drops Hearts. Both of which are the little something extra that put the love in this card.
I love that I can send this card anytime during the winter from the start of winter to Valentines day and anything in-between! Thank you so much for stopping by. You can find all the things I used to make this card listed and linked for you below.

Hello there my stamping friends. Today I am celebrating the newest release from Trinity Stamps with a hop! Several of the design team are bringing you project inspiration with the new projects from the Treetops and Trimmings release.
I get to share with you the Mistletoads stamp set. This 6 piece 4" x 3" stamp set has cute little frogs that can stand under the mistletoe or can be used year round in other scenes. I made a Christmas themed loved note.
Aren't they just darling! I also made a custom sentiment for these cuties using the Graham Cracker Alphabet and MY OWN HANDWRITING! That was the scary part. But the saying "Meet Me Under the Mistletoad" was just stuck in my head and I had to do it. If you ever have this situation but you do not love your hand writing you could also use alphabet stamps or print out your sentiment. There are two sentiments in this set you can also use, "Hoppy Holidays" and "Blessing bestoad upon you".
I love making Christmas cards in non-traditional colors, like this pink, red, white and green. And it is a card that can be given at Christmas time but is not your traditional Christmas card. However, I have an anniversary in December and it would be good for that, or a great Christmas card to give to your partner.
This stamp set is a fun and unique set for Christmas but can also be used well beyond too. If you have a frog lover in your life this is a great set to make them a birthday card as well, as it has the stack of presents that could work for a birthday as well. And the sentiment from this set; "Blessing BesTOAD upon you" could go with a birthday I think.
You can see this card come together in the video below.
If you can not see the video on this screen, you can also view it over on my YouTube channel. You will want to click over to my YouTube channel to leave a comment there, so that you can be entered into the drawing for the $25 shopping spree to the Trinity Stamps shop!

Welcome back my stamping friends. Today I am sharing the Large Die of the Month from Spellbinders for October 2021! I'm LOVING this die set. I looked at it and immediately knew I had to make an ornament with this die set!
This is the Santa's Fireplace die set. There are 27 dies in this set and the price of the Large Die of the Month is only $27.99. That is an amazing deal! This set has dies that will create the fire place, complete with log and burning fire and a grate to keep it all contained. There is also a base for the fire place that you can drop in one of six of the sentiment options. There is also a kinetic Santa, which means you can adhere the legs so that they swing back and forth! You can dress up your fire place with garland, flowers, a bow, candle sticks, stockings and even a wreath. SO many great dies in this set, no detail was left out.
You can see all the dies, what they cut, how to put it all together and see how I made this ornament in the video below.
Once you see this die set in action and know where all the pieces go, it is very easy to put together. I love that there are dies to cut out pieces to adhere behind the details cuts into the fireplace. I used silver card stock and I love the metallic shine it adds.
To create an ornament from this fireplace you need a base to adhere it all too. I simply traced around my fireplace and base onto a piece of heavy weight white cardstock. I then cut this out and was able to pop up my fireplace onto that to create this ornament. The good thing about the base being white is that you can add to it. I chose to stencil on some bricks. You could also ink blend the glow of a fire if you wanted to have a fire inside the fireplace. I did not want to burn up Santa's feet, so I just added the logs and grate.
Look how great the garland and stocking look. It's the little details that really make this piece special and Spellbinders never forgets to add in the little details with this Large Die of the Month. Also, I added the words, "Dear Santa" to the base of my fire place, but there are 5 other sentiments you could drop in and die cut out of the base; give thanks, noel, warm wishes, merry christmas, and a gift for you.
I chose to use the greenery to make a garland to go across the mantel of my fireplace, but you can take these same greenery pieces and create a wreath. This fire place easily fits on an A2 sized card or larger. The wreath would look great as an element above the fire place when you add it to a card. There are also candle sticks you can add to the mantle. They were just too thin to add to the top of an ornament.
There are so many different looks you can get with this fireplace, just by changing the colors you use. I love the idea of a fall look and using the GIVE THANKS words on the base of the fire place. And it would be easy to make a spooky fireplace as well and add some drips to the candle sticks. So, don't let the name, Santa's fireplace stop you from using this die set for all occasions.

Hello there stamping friends, I am back with more creations using the All Aboard Kit from Spellbinders. I previously used this kit to make twenty one A2 sized cards. If you missed that you can check it out in this video. When making those cards I did not use the die set that comes in this kit, the train die set. So, today's projects focus on the train.
You can see this card and tag come together in this video.
This train is pretty easy to put together as the die creates scored lines in the train indicating where the layering elements go. And the kit comes with an idea sheet that shows you each piece put together and it is very helpful.
All the paper I used to make this card is from the kit. Instead of using red card stock I used the red glitter card stock for some added interest. Each train car has a different color and is holding something different. This die set comes with dies to make ornaments, presents and trees.
For the background I added a bit of Broken China distress oxide ink around the edge of my light blue card stock panel. Then I added three layers of splatter. First, a mist of water, then white acrylic paint and last Sparkle Silk. When all the was dry I stamped the snowflake image from the kit in Chipped Sapphire ink to complete the snowy scene.
I had enough left over train elements that I decided to make a coordinating gift tag. This time I decided to go for a white train. You can have so much fun with this die set making different color trains, and it is good beyond the Christmas season too.
If you are wondering about the realistic snow I added to my projects it is the Snowfall Grit Paste from Tim Holtz latest Ranger release. It was a limited edition product, so if you are reading this and this product is no longer available you can use white or translucent grit paste and add glitter to it for a similar look.
Thank you so much for stopping by! If you want to see what all comes in this amazing All Aboard Kit, I have a complete unboxing video right HERE you can check out.

Hello! This month I am doing something a little different than my usual Stamp Set of the Month. Each week I will be featuring a different card kit and making cards with that kit. This week I am featuring the All Aboard Kit from Spellbinders. This is a GIANT kit. You can see my unboxing of this kit right here. It has card stock a 6" x 6" patterned paper pack, glitter paper, ephemera packs, tags, chipboard stickers, glitter stickers, foam stickers, alphabet stickers, rhinestones, sequins, twine, foam squares, sticky tape, card bases, envelopes, a stamp set, and a die set! It really is a TON of goodies.
There are 25, A2 card bases in this kit and I really wanted to make 25 cards, but ended up shooting for 20, as there are 20 patterns of paper in the paper pad. But in the end I made 21 cards as I made one card with NO patterned paper on it. I also wanted to make quick and easy cards with this kit, as that was the only way I would get twenty some cards done.
Watch below and see each of the 21 cards come together.
If you can not see the video up on the screen you can also view it right here.
If you want a close up look at each of the cards I have them for you below.
To get me started in creating with this kit I decided I wanted to use every pattern in the 6" x 6" paper pad. Once I had the paper then I stared looking through the other elements of the kit to see what could go with it. This was a great jumping off point and kept me creating all the way through all 20 designs of paper. And since there is two of each sheet I still have plenty to play with.
I love that there is such a mix of styles in this kit. There are some amazing floral ephemera pieces in this kit, like I used here on the gold card. But there are also some cute images like the stack of christmas books and stockings. There are even tags in this kit that you could use for your cards or for actual gift tags that could coordinate with a card you make.
Another tip for creating with kits when you want to make a lot of cards is to repeat a technique or element that you love and just give it a tweak. In this photo there are three cards that I did this on. Take a look at the card in the bottom right corner. For this card I adhered several of the floral ephemera pieces to the card base and then cut off what extended over the edge. This gave me a gorgeous background that only needed a bit of splatter and a sentiment. I repeated this on the card in the lower left corner, but this time added in a piece of patterned paper. I love how the flowers extend past the patterned paper to the edge of the card. It makes for a beautiful background. And the card in the top right corner uses this same technique, but I cut the excess off at the edge of the patterned paper for an even different look. Also, the paper used under the ephemera changes the look as well.
You can see that are not only beautiful florals in this kit but some bright and fun elements as well. I have to point out the "jolly" card in the upper right corner. This card is a full panel shaker card using the red sequins that come in the kit. I just use some clear plastic packaging to wrap around my card front to create this shaker. I show how to do it int he video. Another element that I love is on the bottom right card. I use my Journey Glaze to draw a line around the outer edge of the patterned paper and then sprinkled on the new Tinsel glitter from Ranger by Tim Holtz. It was like stepping back in time to kindergarten art, and I loved it!!!
Another element I repeated is doing a smaller piece of patterned paper in the center of the card. I varied the sizes, to keep it interesting. If I just do the same exact thing repeatedly I get bored. But figuring out the subtle changes I can make really keeps my mojo going.
I could have kept creating with this kit. There are things I barely even touched and I have so much left over even after making 21 cards. The one thing I did not even touch in the kit is the amazing Train die set! So stay tuned for another creation or two with this kit and the Train die set.
Stay tuned for more fun with card kits, I will be back again next Tuesday playing with another card kit!!!
Below I have listed and linked all the things I used to make these cards. Let me know if you have any questions or just chat with me and let me know which card is your favorite.

Hey there stamping friends I am so excited to be among the first to share with you two new die sets from the Sizzix Christmas release, designed by Tim Holtz. I have to give a big THANK YOU to Scrapbook.com for sending these dies to me so that I could create and share with you on release day.
The two die sets I am sharing with you today are the Winston Colorize die set, a set of 16 dies that create a layered and dimensional snowman that is classic and adorable. The second die set is Funky Nordic. This set has 14 dies in it, but several of the dies cut multiple pieces. This set has an electric mix of wintery, nordic and Christmas elements.
I LOVE to make tags for gifts that the recipient can also hang on the tree as an ornament. So, that is what I decided to make with these fun new dies sets.
You can get a close up look at these new die sets and see these tag/ornaments come together in this video.
I started by die cutting out all the pieces I to create this amazing snowman. The Colorize die sets are designed to layer pieces on top of each other in away that gives its dimensional look. These dies also emboss lines in to the cardstock that are a guide for you as to where to adhere the different pieces. And if you are following the die cut sample on the packaging the layering dies also tell you what color to cut with that die. That can be very helpful when you have 4 dies that you use to make the scarf for example.
I made some very simple chipboard tags that measure 3" x 6". I just cut the top two corners off to make a tag. I covered the chipboard using paper from the Echo Park paper pad called; Jingle All The Way.
The poinsettia that I added to the top of this tag was made using the Funky Nordic die set, which I also used to make the tag below.
I made this tree using the die that is meant to be a snowcapped mountain. But since it is the Funky Nordic die set, why not go off script and use these dies to make your own creations. The trunk of the tree is made using the candle stick die from this set.
All of the paper I used is from Scrapbook.com. They have paper pads that are great for card bases of all sizes and die cutting too.
To finish off these tags I used a bit of Perfect Pearls to add some shimmery splatter all over. And I tied off the tops of the tags with some red and white twine that had a couple mini bells on them.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I love creating these tags so much I am going to make a coordinating card to go with them.

Hello there my stamping friends. I feel so accomplished today! I have started on my Christmas gifts!!! When I saw the new Christmas Icons stamp set from Scrappy Tails I knew it would be perfect for making a Christmas Bingo game!
My family plays Christmas Bingo every year. We use a set that I mad a VERY very very long time ago. My husband thought it would be a good gift idea for me to make another set for his brother's family. However, I did not have all the things I had when I made our set. THEN, Scrappy Tails released this new stamp set, Christmas Icons and the gift making was underway!!! This stamp set has 25 images that are just under 1". They are all Christmas related and are solid images that do not have to be colored in. I mean, it was almost as if it was made for me to make these Bingo cards!!!
You can see my Christmas Bingo set come together in this video. It's so easy you might want to make your own set.
All I needed now was the actual bingo card. So I went to Etsy and searched. I right away found a blank and printable Bingo card from the Heavy Feather Designs shop. It was only $3.99. Once I paid, the file was emailed to me, I downloaded it and print it out. The printable fits two cards on one sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" piece of card stock. I used light weight card stock that I buy in a ream at Walmart for my printer. This bingo card even prints out lines for you to cut on. So, I trimmed out the cards with my paper cutter and then was able to mount each card on to a 5" x 7" piece of colored card stock.
Now let's chat about stamping the images on you bingo card. There are 25 spaces and 25 images in the stamp set. So, I chose 5 colors of ink and decided I stamp 5 images in each color. Then I set to randomly stamping out the images one at a time. Stamping each card with each image and then moving on to the next. I stamped all the images of one color before moving on to the next color. This worked really well, and I only ended up putting the same image in the same spot twice, oops! I made 5 Bingo cards and to complete the set I think I will make 5 more. It is nice to have plenty for a big group to play and it is nice for players to be able to switch out their cards.
Other things you are going to need when making a bingo set are the calling pieces and markers.
I used my Cameo Silhouette to cut out circles that are just under 1" for my markers. I made some in each of the five colors of card stock that I used to back my cards. I also cut these same size circles in white and stamped each image on to a white circle to make the calling pieces. If you do not have an electronic cutting machine you can always use a punch or a die to make your circles.
I also cut circles slightly bigger from colored card stock to mount the calling pieces on to, this makes them more sturdy.
The Bingo cards I purchased had large open letters. I thought it was fun, it gave me an opportunity to dress up my cards, give them more character. So I colored in each letter in with an ombre effect, using each of the five colors I chose for my cards; card red, dark green, dark brown, gold, and light blue.
There was a bit of open space at the top of each card, above the word BINGO, I stamped "Merry Christmas" in this space. This sentiment is also found in the Christmas Icons stamp set. And if you like the Christmas Icons stamp set, there is a similar stamp set called Religious Christmas that would also work for making the bingo cards.
I am very excited to gift this Christmas Bingo game to my brother-in-law. I am going to find a cute Christmas tin to put it in, that will be cute gift wrapping and a nice place to store the game as well. Let the Christmas memories begin!
Below I have linked all the supplies I used to make this game.

Hello there stamping friends and welcome to the Spellbinders Holiday Inspiration Hop!
Today several designers have come together to bring you beautiful ideas using products from the latest Spellbinders release. You will see projects from Halloween to Christmas! If you are already hopping a long with us then you will have arrived here from Nicole Spohr's blog. Welcome!!! I am Carrie Rhoades and I have been paper crafting for over 20 years. I am currently in love with making slimline cards! I live in Eagle, Idaho with my hubby and our two teenage daughters. I am blessed to work from home doing what I love, paper crafting. I also love to go camping and am learning how to crochet.
With these fun new things I have created two slimline cards as well as a full panel shaker tag. Let's take a look.
As you can see each of these projects has the Shopping Spree girl on it, holding a large stack of presents. This die set is another of Spellbinders Kinetic sets. It is designed so that the legs swing back and forth. It is such an easy interactive element to add to a card and adds that little touch of wow and I LOVE it. Two of my projects have this kinetic feature, but on the polar bear cards I did not have the legs swing. Let's take a close up look at each of these projects.
My first card finds this power shopper overloaded with packages and as she is slipping and sliding on the ice her packages are falling.
This die set is so much fun, I so enjoyed mixing matching the coat with different colors of tights and boots and gloves and presents. I loved it so much I had to make two more of these power shopping girls. Here's how I used the next one.
For this card I made the girl a little shorter to fit on the slimline card that is horizontal. Because of that I decided not to make her legs swing. I love that I can easily adjust the height of this girl as the legs are a separate die from the coat.
I think this girl was shopping for presents for her woodland friends and has finally arrived and is BEARing gifts!
I added another hot foiled sentiment to this card, using the same Viridian Green foil. I am loving the font of this hot foil set, Gifts of Christmas.
This polar bear is so dar cute! I just love his scarf. I added a bit of shading to the bear using a C0 Copic marker. This just helps him to stand out off the white background. The white background is embossed with the Diagonal Strips embossing folder. I was so excited to have some Slimline sized embossing folders and dots and stripes are the perfect two to use on all kinds of cards.
For my last power shopper I created a tag, not just any tag, but a full panel shaker tag.
Full panel shaker means that a piece of plastic sheeting was wrapped around the front panel of a project. The sides attached to the back on three sides. Then you add in your shaker elements before attaching the four side of the window. The plastic I used was the plastic that the embossing folders came it. Wrapping like this is the perfect material for full panel shakers.
Once the front panel was wrapped in plastic, I added it to a red card stock base. The power shopper was attached to the front of this with foam squares. And the legs DO swing back and forth.
There did not seem to be much room on this front of this tag for the sentiment I wanted to use. But there was plenty of room on the back!
What a sweet sentiment!!!

Today I am sharing how I made this sign for my Hot Cocoa Bar and giving you a tour of it as well!
On my sign I am using an image I downloaded from the Silhouette Design Store, Hot Cocoa by Jillibean Soup.
That is the image on the base of my sign, which I made to look like it was on a chalkboard, using Print and Cut in my Cameo Silhouette studio. If you do not have a Silhouette you could easily find a hot cocoa printable. Etsy is another good option for things like this.
They add the touch of cutesy, that I love. But a sign like this would be equally as cute with out the critters.
I added a bit of holly and a bow to finish it off and added it to my Hot Cocoa Bar.
If you'd like to learn more about using the Cameo Silhouette for paper crafting you might like this video too. I use the same Holiday Latte digital stamp to show you how to Print and Cut your digital images and how to make a shape card.
I would love to know, do you have a Hot Cocoa bar, or have you done one? Tell me about it, I am in love with them right now and would so enjoy hearing about yours.

Welcome back to my blog. It's time for Episode 2 of my Winter Burrow Stamp Set of the Month series. In this episode I am making a Pop Up Slimline Box Card. It was easy, because I used a new die set in the Slimline Series by Trinity Stamps.
I can't wait to show you this card! It is a Christmas card for a sweetheart. You can watch the making of it in the video below.
If you can not see the video on this screen, you can also view it right here.
I loved making this card into a 3D scene with this pop up box card and it is slimline, so much fun!
I stuck with traditional colors for this card and love them with the black and white!
Here you can better see the bridges that the images are adhered to, that make them appear 3D. You can add as many bridges to this card as you like. I think 2 or 3 is perfect.
Let me tell you how I made this background for this card. I started with Black Soot Distress Oxide ink, once that covered my background panel I spritzed it with water for a splatter look. Then I used one of the Snow Fall stencils over that with white ink. Next I used the second Snow Fall stencil and added Glitz Glitter Gel over that. This resulted in a background with a lot of depth. I LOVE it!
For my sentiments I used a smile Merry Christmas stamp from the stamp set, A Sentiment for Almost Everything. It is adhered to the back fo the burrow and tree, so it is suspended in air.
To finish off the sentiment I used the Sweet Senti-Mini stamp set to make the word Sweetheart. Make sure you watch the video to see what I added to the back of this card.
I had so much fun making this card, it is the first pop up box card I have ever made, I guess having a die made me want to give it a go, not to mention that it is slimline size! When this card is folded flat it measures 8-1/2" x 3-3/4", fits perfect in the business size envelopes I bought at the Dollar Tree.
You will find all the supplies I used to make today's card listed and linked for you below.

I am so happy to be back with another Lawn Fawn Fans hop! I love this group of creators and can not wait for you to see what we have in store for you this time on our Winter themed hop!
Our Sponsor this month is Scrapbook.com! They have EVERYTHING under the sun at their shop and also, amazing deals. They are generously giving away a $50 shopping spree to their store to one lucky commenter on this hop! THANK YOU SCRAPBOOK.COM!!!
There are 12 stops on this hop and each stop is a video on YouTube, so make sure to click over and watch this video on YouTube, so you can comment there and be entered into the drawing.
My creation for the Winter hop is a holiday baking scene, these mice have taken over the woodland kitchen to create some yummy holiday treats! There are lift the flaps in this card and of course a shaker!
If you can not see the video on this screen, you can also watch it here.
Next up on the hop is a video by Mona Toth, she is extremely talented, I know you are going to love what she made for the hop! Watch her video right HERE.
Now let's get a good look at this woodland kitchen...
I knew I wanted to use the stamp set, A Creature is Stirring, for this card and the oven from Sprinkled with Joy. I also knew I wasn't excited about thinking up how to create a kitchen counter top. So I thought let's take the kitchen to the mice instead. And a Woodland kitchen was born.
The woodland scene it self was created on the largest rectangle die cut from the Large Slimline with Sliders die set from Lawn Fawn, which is 8-1/2" x 3-1/2". I mounted that onto some Red and White Striped Paper, it is digital paper that I bought from Etsy, and printed out. I have the shop linked below for you. So, my finished card is 9" x 8", scored at 4". This size slimline card fits into the business sized envelopes that I bought at the Dollar Tree.
I used the Lift the Flap Tree Backdrop to add a tree to each end of the scene. Inside each tree I added a cute thing. The tree on the left is a mice who snuck off to eat a candy cane.
On the right the mice are using the tree for storage and in this pantry of convenience you will find the vanilla frosting.
Also, the oven door opens to reveal a fun shaker surprise!
I love this part of the card so much, first of all, a red oven! Second, a shaker of gingerbread men, peppermint candies, sprinkles and seed beads! And it is just so much fun to have a little mini shaker right on your card.
And on the inside...
Another little flap to lift with a mouse eating a cookie. What a fun card to make! I still want to add more cookies to it, but I had to stop. I hope you have enjoyed this card too. Below I have all the stops for this hop, so you don't miss a video.

Now let's take a look at the 3D Holiday project I made for this Instagram Hop.
It all started with a Dollar Tree wooden snowglobe home decor piece. But let's back up just a little bit. You should know I love to watch Dollar Tree DIY video's on YouTube. The makers create the coolest home decor pieces using items from the Dollar Tree. I love it and want to do it so bad. But my talents and passion are in paper crafting. So, I thought I would mash up these two things. I would do a Dollar Tree DIY home decor piece using my talents of paper crafting. So, when I found this wooden snow globe with a paper overlay of a snowman, I knew this was the piece I wanted to do over for my Hot Cocoa bar.
You can watch the transformation here.
I honestly feel so I excited that I did a Dollar Tree DIY video! If you can not see the video on this screen, you can also view it right here.

I love how this little snow globe turned out and am happy to have a hand made piece to add to my cocoa bar. The Crazy 4 Cocoa stamp set has got to be one of my favorites this holiday season. The marshmallow man kills me!
This snowglobe was very easy to make with a bit of sand paper, acrylic paint and paper. A very easy project to do at home with supplies you have on hand, or a few additional products from the Dollar Tree. There are always plenty of wooden things at the Dollar Tree that you can DIY with your favorite papers and stamps.
