I spent a lot of time cleaning up my craft room and decided to let go of a good portion of my Sassy & Crafty collection. They were an absolutely amazing company that ended up closing. I'd love to find new homes for these these stamps (and I'll add stencils tomorrow (01/18/22) so they can keep getting inky!

There are some stamps that make you smile… and then there are stamps that make you say, “Yep. That’s exactly how I feel!” The newest addition to the Pissy Kitty family from Unity Stamp Company is here, and this little guy is Pissed on Your Behalf! For this card, I wanted to give our grumpy kitty a little more meaning by creating a card for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. October is a great reminder that while we may love our pink ribbons, the most important thing we can do is

If you’re a Gilmore Girls fan, you’re going to fall head over heels for the new Star Hallow stamp set by C.C. Designs! These adorable stamps are a fun spin on the beloved world of Stars Hollow, bringing all the cozy, quirky charm we love right to our craft rooms. For this card, I paired the sweet girl with a giant vinyl record, because what’s better than good music and finding your people? 🎶 The soft pink and purple color palette, music notes, and retro record give this card

There’s just something about fall crafting that makes me want to pull out all the spooky papers, bats, stars, and—of course—witches! For this card, I reached for the Witchy Woman stamp set from Unity Stamp Company and created a vintage-inspired Halloween scene filled with rich purples, black, gold, and just a touch of sparkle. I love how this card feels a little sassy and a little mysterious. And that sentiment? “She had every reason to not behave.” I mean… enough said! 😉🧙‍

There’s just something about a big, cheerful snowman that makes winter cardmaking more fun—and Snowbert from Unity Stamp Company definitely brings the personality! For this card, I wanted Snowbert to be the star of the show, so I let his size take center stage. He is a BIG image, and I thought the easiest way to show just how large he is was to use the Postage Stamp Nesting Dies as a frame. The largest die gives you a great reference for just how much of an A2 card Snowbert f

There are some people who simply have a way of making the world a little brighter—and when I saw the new Keep Shining, Sweet Friend, I immediately thought of one very special lady: Dolly Parton. With her big blonde hair, sparkling personality, love of books, and even bigger heart, Dolly was the inspiration behind my coloring of this sweet image. 💕 I may have channeled just a little Dolly magic into those curls! A Little Dolly Inspiration Dolly’s love of books is about so muc

Sometimes the best card backgrounds are hiding right in your scrap bin! For this card featuring the new Knit Wits stamp set, I wanted the adorable image to take center stage while creating a background that was simple, cozy, and a little unexpected. Instead of reaching for a full sheet of patterned paper, I pulled out three coordinating patterns from the Chillin Paper Pack and turned them into a fun quilt-like background. It’s a great way to use those smaller pieces of paper

There’s just something about mums that makes me think of crisp fall days, cozy sweaters, and beautiful gardens bursting with color. 🌸 When I saw the new September 2026 Whit Kit from Unity Stamp Company, I knew I wanted to give these gorgeous blooms a little vintage, heirloom feel. For this card, I went with bright yellow and pink mums, surrounded by vintage-inspired papers, soft distressing, and a few simple embellishments. The result is a card that feels both cheerful and n

Okay, crafty friends… I think this little reindeer just took “holiday sparkle” to a whole new level! When I saw the adorable new Twinkle Toes stamp set, I knew this sweet little guy needed to be the star of a Christmas card. But instead of simply giving him a shiny red nose, I decided to make his nose actually LIGHT UP! ❤️💡 And the best part? Adding a light-up feature is much easier than you might think! For this card, I used a Pear Blossom Press One Light, which is an all-i

Who says holiday cards have to be all snowflakes and traditional Christmas trees? This one is bringing a little barnyard fun to the holiday season! 🐮🎄 I had so much fun combining the adorable Merry Moo & Birdie Too Stamp Set & Cut File with the beautifully rustic Noel’s Charm patterned paper. The vintage-inspired prints, greenery, berries, and woodsy colors created the perfect backdrop for this sweet Christmas cow. I used the Vintage Holiday Tags Ephemera to add even more o

Love never goes out of style... even in the afterlife! 💀 For today's card, I paired the adorable new Death Bride and Living stamp sets from CC Designs to create a sweet gothic-inspired scene that's equal parts spooky and swoon-worthy. I wanted the background to feel mysterious without taking the spotlight away from this charming couple, so I blended a simple ombré sky using Distress Inks in Black Soot, Uncharted Mariner, and Evergreen Bough. The moody colors create the perfe

As much as I love creating detailed scene cards, sometimes a clean design lets a beautiful stamped image shine all on its own. That's exactly what inspired today's card featuring Mice & Cozy, one of the adorable stamp sets included in Unity Stamp Company's August Kit of the Month – First Days to Festive Nights. This sweet little mouse hanging from a colorful autumn branch completely stole my heart. By pairing it with a large circular window, the image becomes the focal point

If you've been around here for a while, you know I'm all about stretching my supplies and finding new ways to create. Today's card is a little different because there isn't a single stamped image on it! 😱 Before you panic, hear me out... One of the things I love most about Unity Stamp Company is that they're so much more than amazing stamps. From stencils and dies to papers, ephemera, and embellishments, Unity has everything you need to create unique cards—and today's projec

If summer had an official mascot, I think this cool little goose would win by a landslide! 😎 Between the sunglasses, tropical drink, and floatie, this card is basically a vacation in an A2 envelope. For today's card, I challenged myself to use every single product included in the July Whit Kit: Cool Goose Summer from Unity Stamp Company—and I had so much fun pulling everything together into one sunny scene! The star of the show is, of course, our relaxed goose enjoying the p

These two lovable dachshunds perfectly capture those everyday moods we all experience—from completely peopled-out to hoping the day asks very little of us.

Some stamps have a way of making you smile the moment you see them, and This Stings from Unity Stamp Company is definitely one of them! This adorably grumpy little bee perfectly captures those days when you've simply... hive had enough. Whether you're creating a card for a friend who needs a laugh or just embracing your own mood with a bit of humor, this stamp is guaranteed to brighten someone's day. Even better?

There's something timeless about a daisy. It's simple, cheerful, and always manages to brighten the day. For this card, I wanted to let the July 2026 Background of the Month: Daisy, Defined take center stage while adding a little extra dimension with one of my favorite techniques—paper piecing. By combining a few coordinating products, this design comes together quickly while still looking detailed and elegant. Paper Piecing for Beautiful Dimension Instead of coloring the ent

Sometimes your friends help you make good decisions. And sometimes they help you hide the evidence. Today's card featuring the new Hive Got Your Back stamp set celebrates those ride-or-die friendships—the ones that stick with you through thick, thin, and the occasional questionable life choice. These bees may have found themselves behind bars, but don't worry. Nobody's singing like a canary. This hive operates on a strict "buzziness before witnesses" policy. When I saw the se

Well, today's cards are here to stage a friendly intervention. Featuring the adorable new Pissy Kitty "Leave Me Alone" stamp, these cards are proof that the perfect project is the one you're making right now. Because let'

There’s something about lemons that instantly makes me smile. Maybe it’s their cheerful yellow color, the promise of sunny days, or the fresh, uplifting feeling they bring. The June 2026 Whit Kit, You're the Zest, captures all of that happiness in one beautifully coordinated kit! For today's card, I wanted to create a design that felt bright, fresh, and full of summer charm. The gorgeous lemon cluster takes center stage, surrounded by delicate blossoms and lush green leaves.
