Hello friends! I'm over on the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog today with the sweetest little lemonade mouse card!! My girls always love having a lemonade stand, but making lemonade at home and celebrating with a cute card will have to do this year! We are squeezing every last drop out of our summer vacation with online school starting next week.
Here's all the supplies I used, and you can find closeups and details on the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog!
Hey friends! I'm over on the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog today with a cute reveal wheel card featuring the adorable What's On The Table Digi Stamp. I almost can't believe it, but this is the first time I've actually used a reveal wheel!! What a fun stamp set to use it with too, with so many cute little accessories included! I used a fun Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps confetti stencil for a party background, Tim Holtz Chit Chat Stickers and Studio Katia gems for a bit of bling!
Inside I stamped a coordinating Lawn Fawn sentiment with some Krafty Kolours Inks from Kraftin' Kimmie and now my dino is ready to make someone's summer extra happy!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog to get closeups and details - and have an amazing day!!
Hello!! I'm so excited to be back today with a fun new Saturday Challenge from the Kraftin' Kimmie Blog. This week we are challenging you to Combine Your Stamp Sets. It's always fun to pick up new goodies, but when you can combine them with other sets you have - bonus! *Be sure to check out the code below for an awesome sale in the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop!!
I pulled out 5 different sets to use on this card!! On the front I'm using Snowflake Kisses- I embossed the snowflakes with Stampendous Shabby Blue embossing powder and used a sentiment from the set stamped in Crisp Crimson Krafty Kolours Ink, the adorable Jolly Happy Snowmen -coloured with watercolour markers (PS You can check out the colouring video for that HERE) and Solid Holiday to stamp the yummy cup of hot cocoa! I used Rainbow Krafty Dots to add three pops of red at the bottom of the card.
I coordinated the stamped images to match colours in the Crate Paper Snowflake Collection and added some puffy marshmallows and bits of snow on the sentiment strip with a snow marker, which puffs when heated.
Inside, I stamped a sentiment and another cup of cocoa with the 5th set - Beary Big Hugs using the Crisp Crimson and Marvelous Mocha Inks.
Of course you don't need to use more than 2 stamps, but I wanted to challenge myself, and I had fun mixing and matching sentiments and stamps!

Hello! I am over on the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog today with a sweet Thank You card using the adorable Gerda Steiner Designs Ice Skating Mouse digital stamp . This would be a lovely Thanksgiving card as well, or with a quick paper swap a cute holiday card! I used the pretty papers and embellishments from the November SCT Sampler Pack and a sketch from the SCT Fall 2019 Sketches (check out the sketch at the bottom of the post). I even matched the little outfits on the mice to the paper 😉 Honestly, what could be cuter than an animal in a sweater!!
I used the Studio Katia Autumn Borders Stamp to add a sentiment on the outside and inside of the card. BTW, Studio Katia is having an amazing sale right now.... just sayin'! Use code BF2019 to save 38% until November 30/19 - check out the details and any current promos HERE.
Be sure to head over to the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog for all the details and closeups!! You'll find out how I turned one digi stamp into two mice skating together! To all my US friends, Happy Thanksgiving 💛 I am definitely thankful for all you sweet friends who stop by and take your time to check out what I've been working on. Have a fantastic week!!
(PS the store is closed until Dec 1st for Thanksgiving Break, but you'll be able to shop after that - and meanwhile be sure to check all the fabulous inspiration on the blog and FB page!)
I decided to use my Tim Holtz Stamp press and make 4 cards at once! The new Snowflake Stamp Set from Studio Katia has beautiful large snowflakes and made it easy to get this card started. I then filled in areas using snowflakes from other stamp sets including the Kraftin' Kimmie Elf-Tacular set, Hello Bluebird Quiet Christmas, Studio Katia Origami Winter and Pink and Main Snowglobe sets. These ink colours are not my go to Christmas colours, but I love how it turned out.
I embossed a Merry Christmas Greeting with Emerald Creek Spiced Candy embossing powder, which actually smells like cinnamon! I then added an embossed candy cane stamp embellished with Stickles and Glossy Accents.
I finished off the card with some pretty sequins from SpiegelMom Scraps and Studio Katia.
Here's a look at the video where you can see just how I put this card together-

Hello! Well, Christmas is coming in 51 sleeps... yeah my 7 year old made me download the app! I figured I should do some stress-free Christmas crafting before that realization hits that you have 5 teacher gifts and 10 stocking stuffers to make in two days, lol. So, I was at a crop over the weekend and decided to enjoy making a lovely and peaceful tag using some fun supplies from the Southern Ridge Trading Company Shop. I pulled out a Chipboard Tag, 3x3 Star Stencil, Soda Fizz Stencil, Words Of Christmas
set and Cedar Trees pack and got crafty! You can visit the SRTC Blog for a How To Tutorial in case you'd like to see just how I made it.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the Southern Ridge Trading Company Blog where you can find all the how-to details, closeups and supplies for this festive tag. Have a wonderful week friends!
Hello! Get ready for cuteness, because this adorable Gerda Steiner Designs Pug Digital Stamp is just that! I'm over on the GSD Blog today sharing this sweet card that will definitely make anyone's birthday sweeter.
For my project I'm sharing a perfectly creepy haunted house! Be sure to scroll down to catch the video to see how this came together 👻 as well as some fun BLOG CANDY!
Tim Holtz Ephemera, Distress Stains, Crayons, Oxides and Oxide Sprays worked awesomely together to add to this dollar store wooden house, taking it from boring to spooky in no time!
I dug into my Halloween stash to find whatever worked! This Simple Stories pumpkin sticker was just the right size for one of these girls to hold. I coloured their outfits with Distress Crayons and I love the vintage look.
Stickles added in different areas give a sparkly effect - I firmly believe every event needs sparkle!
Emerald Creek Craft Supplies Embossing Powders add neat touches to stamped images as well as random areas that just need a touch of blood. I love how my new Studio Katia pumpkin border stamp fits on the sides of the house.
Here's a look at the video where you can see all the fun supplies I used and just how it came together-
Howdy! Wow, Day 11 already! My girls are getting really excited about Halloween, and it's only 9 days away now. For today's project I'm sharing two fun shaker tags - perfect for adding to a loot bag full of candy! These are definitely not on the spooky end of Halloween, and could definitely be used for fall and even Thanksgiving. If I ever got around to making caramel apples, these would be awesome... but that's not going to happen this year!
I used two layers of fun foam to create the shaker walls and added some pretty Studio Katia Sequins. I thought the cute Mama Elephant mini message was perfect!
I matched the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to the fall colours in the Fall Fling Lawn Fawn Paper Pad. I like the fun, bright feel!
I added some yummy treats to dollarstore paper bags with a doily folded over. On the back is a sweet message from the Caramel Apple set stamped with Tim Holtz Archival Mini Inks.
Here's a look at the video where you can see how this project comes together! If you've missed any of the 13 Days Of Halloween be sure to check out the full playlist HERE.

Hello! Well, I must admit it doesn't feel much like Halloween anymore - we just got another snowstorm and it feels more like Christmas! Hopefully it will be much nicer when October 31st comes around though. We always have to take into account whether the girls will have to wear winter gear under their costumes, and I think this year's outfits will be perfect for that! (scroll down to see what they'll be wearing) Today, for the 13 Days Of Halloween Series on YouTube I made some fun Halloween Tags with my Cricut Maker and used the We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill to add a foiled sentiment to the back.
I used both gold foil and the Foil Quill along with a silver Cricut gel pen to add my sentiment to the back side of the tags. I chose to colour in one with gel pen and leave the other as an outline.
Distress Oxide Inks add some shading and highlights to the cardstock edges. The Tim Holtz Chit Chat Occasions stickers add spooky wishes to the front.
I decorated the front of the tags with Studio Katia and Buttons Galore and More sequins and gems for a bit of bling, and then added a coordinating piece of baker's twine.
I even spritzed the pumpkin and owl with sparkly Dylusions Mica Sprays for some extra Halloween shine!
Here's a look at the video where you can check out exactly how I made these cute tags!
I let my girls do the decorating this year and this is how our mantel looks. I think they did a great job! How many projects can you spot from previous years?!!
And here's a look at the costumes they chose this year. I'm not sure if we were hungry when we went shopping or what, lol... These will work at a Halloween Party inside or over winter jackets outdoors, so that's a win-win!
