Today I’m sharing a Christmas card with tons of sparkle and shine thanks to the new Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens from Crafter’s Companion and foil cardstocks from CutCardStock. If you are scrambling to come up with a last minute card, this one comes together rather quickly because it incorporates simple techniques like watercoloring and die-cutting. […]
Christmas Cardinal Card
Just a quick post today to mention that an all new challenge has started over on the Pink & Main Challenge Blog. The theme this month is “Christmas” and you can enter up to three projects to win one of three pretty awesome prizes. I colored in the cardinal image from “Hollydays” to create this simple […]
Hot Cocoa Wedding Favors
Today I have a cute favor idea for those winter or Christmastime weddings that also works well as a small gift for teachers or neighbors. Several years ago, I got married a week before Christmas because I love the season so much, but I tied the knot in the Caribbean so there were no fun winter favors […]

Lacey Hello Cards
Hello again…I’m back today with a set of quick and easy cards using the newly released “Grandma’s Lace” stamps from Pink & Main to make my own pretty patterned paper. For the first one, I randomly stamped three of the round lace shapes in Coastal Cabana, Perfect Plum, and Smoky Slate ink (Stampin’ Up) on Whisper White […]
Christmas Elf Swing Card
It’s official…holiday crafting is in full swing for me (but don’t despair, I still have a few autumn-themed projects I’m working on). Today I’m sharing a cute Christmas swing card that I made using my Silhouette CAMEO, gorgeous shimmery cardstock from CutCardStock, and these adorable elf images from Pink & Main. I chose to use some of the […]
