In just a few days here in America, we’ll be gathering around the table with friends and family, chowing down on some delicious food, and hopefully thinking about what we’re grateful for. I wanted to take this time to thank all of my amazing subscribers who take the time to comment on my posts, “like” […]

Simple Stenciling on Cards
With less than two weeks until Thanksgiving (for my US friends), I think I’m going to set aside the Christmas posts for a while. I made this decision last week while being bombarded with Black Friday ads…I love autumn and I’ve hardly had a chance to enjoy it this year! Ok, so today’s post isn’t […]
3D Nativity Tunnel Card
I don’t make a ton of religious Christmas cards. My style lends itself more to cutesy animals or pretty winter florals…but when I saw the gorgeous detail in the “Away in a Manger” die set (part of the new “Traditional Christmas Collection” from Crafter’s Companion), I knew I had to use it right away!

The latest Sara Signature Collections, “Traditional Christmas” and “Contemporary Christmas” are full of gorgeous […]

This week, Crafter’s Companion is releasing a ton of new dies in their online store along with the fabulous Gemini electronic die-cutter.

Enchanted Reindeer Card
I know, I know…it’s only October and I’m already posting Christmas cards?! I couldn’t help but share one of the beautiful new dies from Crafter’s Companion that is making its debut on HSN today (24 Craft Day!) And actually, I usually start my Christmas crafting way before October… Let’s start with the background since that […]
