Chilly Chuckles with Chilled to the Bone
When the temps drop and the snow starts piling up, sometimes the best way to say “I’m thinking of you” is with a handmade card. And honestly… when I saw the new "Chilled to the Bone" stamp set from Unity Stamp Company , I knew this hilarious pup had to be the star of my next winter project. Just look at him—bundled up in his cozy hat and scarf, side-eyeing the weather like he’s not built for this degree of cold. Same, buddy. Same. For this card, I kept the design playful

Bold Bauble Blunder
Sometimes, the best cards come from the biggest blunders. While playing with the October 2025 Kit of the Month - Bold Baubles stamp kit , I stamped these sweet, simple ornaments and started coloring them with my Prismacolor Pencils . I wanted rich, bold color with soft, smooth blending — so I grabbed my trusty Gamsol to make the magic happen. But somewhere between blending the red bauble and the green one… I slipped. My blending stump wandered outside the lines, smudging co
