Branching Out

Tonight for my weekly live I used the Branching Out bundle.  I saw a card in an ad on Pinterest and recreated it for this weeks presentation.  I think it is pretty nice and you could us so many different colors and embossing folders to make so many variations.  If you'd like to see the YouTube video you can click here.  It is a short one this week, the card comes together pretty quick.  Thanks for watching!!

Ready to craft something adorable for winter that’s NOT another card? ❄️

December 12x12 Winter Sampler Class

This month we're switching things up! We’ll be creating a cheerful, bright, and cozy 12x12 Winter Sampler filled with wintery charm — think cozy sweaters, hot cocoa mugs, ice skates, snow globes, and sweet seasonal details in beautifully arranged little boxes.

It’s fun, whimsical, and absolutely display-worthy! I also have a limited number of black 12x12 display frames available for $10 if you'd like to show off your finished sampler right away — or gift it!

November 2025 Paper Pumpkin

I created my videos for the alternate projects today.  The kit this month was gift boxes and I created 4 card projects with it for alternates.  You can see the videos on my YouTube channel, here.  That link will take you to the Paper Pumpkin alternates playlist I have.  They are all great cards that use minimal supplies outside of the kit and hopefully items you have around, if you don't have what I used.  Enjoy the inspiration.  Happy Crafting.  Here are the cards....

Thanksgiving Videos

Boy oh boy was yesterday filled with creativity for me.  I didn't think it was going to fill as much of the day as it did, but I suppose how could it not!  I started my videos a little later in the morning and did 6 throughout the day.  I did a final video of a waterfall gift card holder in the evening, my usual 7pm.  I was presenter for the day on the FB group Card A Day In November 2025.  It was my day to show a card with the daily theme of "farmhouse holiday" and I took it a little further with all my videos.  I figured people couldl catch a video here and there if they were in need of escaping while the oven was baking up the rest of the dinner sides.  You can see the videos from my YouTube playlist, here.  Below are the cards and gift card holder that you'll see in the videos.

Final Fall Card

I figured there was still time left for one more fall card.  Even though we are in the midst of what could be a whopper of a snowfall!  The wind is just a whippin' out there, but I'm down in my craft space all cozy and not paying attention to the world around me.  So much so that last I knew it was noon and Mike just asked if I was going to eat dinner before my video!!  My how time flies when you are having fun....or in deep thought.  I have managed to accomplish a few things but still a lot to do before the big video day tomorrow.  I may be cutting cards right before each video...lol.  Anyway, this is the card I created on my weekly live.  You can see the video on YouTube, here.

November Christmas Card Live

Hi again!!  Tonight was my monthly Christmas card live, did you see it?  If you didn't you can watch it on YouTube, here.  I really like this card that I created.  It has such a nice blend of colors and that designer series paper is beautiful.  The fussy cutting of the flowers is the most time consuming part of this card, but you can always use a different flower or die cut to speed it up.

October Quilt Blocks

I just realized I didn't show you my October quilt blocks from the monthly kit I get from the Chirpy Cardmaker, Julie Heitz.  They might now be my favorites!  She does such a wonderful job of creating these blocks each month.  Such talent to convert a block designed for sewing, into a paper creation.

November Card Class

I had two sessions of my November card class on Sunday.  What a fun time it was.  We had some new folks come as well as Mom and Kristie from 3hrs away and Patty came too.  She is about 50 minutes.  It was great to have everyone and class seemed to fly by both sessions.  

We used the Peaceful Garden suite and all the cards used different stamps so that was a little challenging for me to create.  I did end up pulling in a Happy Birthday from another set, but for the most part it all came together nicely.  There are so many sentiments in that set so I did also use the Peaceful Days coordinating set for a few extras.  The happy birthday sentiment came for With You In Mind set.

Thanks to everyone who came to class and made my day so enjoyable.  It makes it all worth it when I see everyone having fun and making the cards their own.  The cards I designed are below.
