Here’s another In Color card (I even used a color from last year!) The card base is an 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ (scored at 4 1/4″ on the long side) piece of Copper Clay. The focal gingerbread star is cut from Peach Pie. I stamped the background images in Copper Clay. I used Copper…
Do you have a bunch of 6″ x 6″ paper laying around? (Don’t laugh too hard – haha) Then the Take a Bow die is for you! Use the die to cut out strips from two pieces of 6″ x 6″ preferably Designer Series Paper and you have all you need to make a pretty…
I will be absolutely upfront with you in the fact that I have not, for some reason, used the new 2024-2025 In Colors to their fullest extent. So this week, I will be giving you some projects that use them. And to boot, I’m giving you some fun Christmas crafting ideas, too. Here we go!…

Another card using the Nests of Winter Suite Collection. Here are the measurments: I call this technique the Reverse Spotlight. Have you made a card that has a black and white background and then you add color to a part of it – so it jumps out? This is sort of the reverse. I took…
Here is another card I made with the Nests of Winter Suite Collection. Here are measurements of the paper that I used: I used two fun techniques. One I learned from Jessica Cruz de Urrutia. After cutting out the frame piece on this Mossy Meadow panel, you rotate the negative piece (the middle piece that…

We made a few projects using these products and it was a lot of fun. This suite became available to everyone when the new mini catalog launched at the beginning of September –…
On Wednesday, I used a technique called the ‘tile’ technique. Today, I am almost literally making tiles out of a square of embossed Old Olive card stock. I took a 3” x 3” piece and ran it through the Painted Trees Embossing Folder. I then carefully cut this piece into 9 one-inch squares. I placed…
