Hello friends! It's Day 2 of my 25 days of Holiday cards! 

Today's card features the mini Christmas stickers and sentiments. These are fun the layer on the card over the ornament die I used.

I used Therm-O-Web's 3D foam stickers to adhere the mini die cuts to the card base. I love using these foam squares to add dimension to all of my cards.

Another tip for making several cards at once is to die cut several of the ornament dies and pre-cut your layers. Then you sit down and assemble your cards quickly.

Thank you for stopping by today!

25 Days of Holiday Cards Day 1

Hello friends! Welcome to another year of 25 Days of Holiday cards. For the next 25 days, I'll be sharing a variety of handmade card creations. I hope you will get some inspiration to make your own cards. 

Kicking off this year's 25 days is a card I created using Anna Griffin's new plaid pattern papers and the Christmas sentiment dies.

For this card, I also used Anna's glitter paper and adhesive from Therm-O-Web to create my shaker card.

I filled my shaker with gold sequins and Christmas trees from the shaker die collection.

Want to make your shaker cards really move? Add some microbeads. You can pick them up at any craft store. They really help the other items you fill your shaker cards with move more freely.

So that's it for today! 24 more cards to go! I hope you'll come back and check out the rest! 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Unity + My Sweet Petunia Hop and Brown Thursday Releases

Hello Unity friends! We are so excited to be teaming up with My Sweet Petunia for today's Hop!

The hop list can be found at the Unity Stamp Company Blog HERE and on the My Sweet Petunia Blog HERE.

For today's HOP, I created a fun card using my Misti and the brand new Unity image titled:

O'Holy Blessed Night by Tierra Jackson

Inking up stamped images in the Misti is a snap! Some people like to remove the grid pages when they have rubber cling mounted stamps but I find that my image stamped just fine with them.

I like to emboss my stamped images before I color them with my Copic markers.

Here's my finished card.

I also inked up the new image

A Time Of Peace by Tierra Jackson

Hello Pumpkin card with Deco Foil

Hello friends! I'm sharing a cute little fall themed card I made with Deco Foil and other products from Therm-O-Web as well as a die and embossing folder from Anna Griffin.

Foiling the Designer Toner sheets is a snap!

The Royal Sovereign laminating machine works great! I use the wax paper included to place my cardstock and foil inside to run thru the laminator.

I cut my pumpkin die from a foiled toner sheet with a fun retired die from Anna Griffin and embossed the cardstock I wanted to mount it on with a retired embossing folder from Anna Griffin.

To put it all together, I used 3D foam squares from Therm-O-Web.

I finished this cute care with some bakers twine. 

For more information about Deco Foil and foiling techniques, please visit the Therm-O-Web blog!

Birthday card toppers

Hello friends! Today I am sharing some of my Birthday Collage Topper cards from Anna Griffin. These are from the September HSN show. I love how easy it is to create a quick card with these toppers. The already layered images make cards come together quickly and are perfect for that last minute card you need to create for someone special.

Here's a look at a few of my cards I created.

I love pink and those foiled birthday cakes from Anna! 

For this card, I added one of the fan dies. Such a pretty addition to the card.

Layering your cardstock is the key to a pretty card. Use foam dots to create dimension.

Thank you or stopping by to take a look. I hope you're making something crafty today!

2018 MFT Card Superstars Clean & Simple Genius entry

Hello friends! After a few years of missing out on my favorite card making contest, I am ready to throw my hat back in the ring.

This card is for the Clean & Simple genius category.

Supplies Used: Die-namics Wonky Stitched Rectangle Stax, Die-namics Stiched Flowers. Die-namics Friend Duo, Sentiment from Snuggle Bunnies. Other supplies: Eyelet Outlet epoxy dots. Therm-O-Web Easy Cut Adhesive.

I love the look of white on white cards, so I thought it would be fun to used dies as a background on white cardstock. Then I added my die cut sentiment using some pink matte foil cardstock.

How did I pull off the flowers sticking perfectly to the card base? I used Therm-O-Web's Easy Cut Adhesive. This is a must-have for adhering small and intricate dies.

Thank you for stopping by today!
