The original version of my card was made for this color challenge. I used “Joyful Nativity” and “Totally Trees” with a bit of designer paper from the Presents & Pinecones collection. For fun, I also made a Night of Navy version. I was pretty sure I would like the design … Continue reading

Designer Paper Note Card Folder
I have been making these note card folders all summer with various papers after I saw the idea on Rachel Tessman’s blog. We made this version in club last month. These little totes open to reveal a pocket for note cards and envelopes. We used papers from the Floral Boutique … Continue reading
Cookie Cutter Skeleton
I don’t use Washi Tape enough, and that is a shame because look at how easy it makes a background. You can add coordinating color and pattern in no time! This Washi Tape, enamel dots, twine, and the paper I used for the moon are from the Halloween Night collection … Continue reading

We made this cute reindeer card in our Team Meeting last night. It uses “Cookie Cutter Christmas” and the coordinating punch. You may recognize the shape of the reindeer head from a card I showed last week – the scarecrow. The scarecrow is from a second set of stamps that … Continue reading
