Winter Wonderland...

Hello, hello! 

The December Sweet November Stamps newsletter was emailed out last night, wrapping up all of the crafty fun that we had in 2025. December was a quieter month for releases, with the addition of The Stockings Were Hung digi collection. That doesn't mean that there isn't plenty of fab inspiration from our amazing design team to look forward to. It also includes a code to get the latest newsletter digi absolutely free and this month we have a cute little winter girl named Rory, who is happily dancing through the snow. I thought Rory would be fun to use on a faux post card and I got extra crafty by creating some masks using snowflake dies that I had in my craft stash. By placing them on the post card before airbrushing in the blue sky, I was left with bold white snowflakes on this single layer card once they were removed. That, plus the fresh color palette, has me super happy with the finished card. Now it is your turn to grab Rory from your inbox and share the cute cards that you make with her!  :)

Have a good rest of your weekend!

Hey there!

Now that Christmas has come and gone we find ourselves in that weird week leading up to new year's eve where it is hard to keep track of what day it is and what you are supposed to be doing, LOL! Luckily, even if I'm feeling a bit scattered I've still got a few cards left over from the latest Stamping Bella release to share before the new year arrives. This card features the cool new Oddball Zodiac Sagittarius stamp and she is just one of four Oddball Zodiac girls that are kicking off a new series that will be added to throughout 2026. I really like the hip street wear look that Sagittarius is sportin', which is probably why I put her standing in front of a brick wall. Something about her feels like she is about to break out into a hip hop dance routine.  :)

All righty, thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas with love...

A very Merry Christmas to all of my crafty friends who are celebrating today! 

I hope that the day finds you warm and cozy, surrounded by those you love just like the cute critters in this card using stamps from the Christmas Cheer release at Hello Bluebird. Most of this scene uses the Cozy Night set, with the roaring fireplace and Christmas stockings hanging all in a row. I did add the bunny from the Perfect Tree set as I love how it looks like her hand is resting on brown bear's arm. Little hedgie was altered a bit when I stamped the wrapped gifts first, masked them off then stamped hedgie so that his letters were hidden. Together they look like the sweetest family enjoying Christmas morning together. The Ric Rac Card die and Ric Rac Frame die came out again and the sentiment is from the Christmas Wishes set.

Be merry my friends!
