The combination of those colorful plaid patterns, snowy details, and these two curious pups makes for a fun holiday card that's full of personality! I started with the vibrant plaid patterne

If there’s one thing I love about holiday crafting, it’s finding ways to turn simple supplies into something extra special! Today, I’m sharing three festive gift tags featuring the adorable gingerbread characters from Baking Spirits Bright. Each little gingerbread friend has a personality of their own, and I had so much fun creating three different looks with them! These tags are a great reminder that you don’t always need to buy a whole new collection of supplies to create s

Who says a Grinch has to steal the holiday cheer? The new Mean One stamp is here to add a little Grinchy attitude to your holiday crafting!

The playful sentiments add just the right amount of sass while keeping the whole card merry and bright. I created a fun filmstrip-style design to showcase each character, giving each o

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

There’s something about cute critters and colorful ink blending that instantly makes a card more fun — and this new Platypus stamp set by C.C. Designs totally delivered the smiles! For this playful card, I created a bubbly background using a blend of Distress Oxide inks and the fabulous Suds Stream stencil. The soft gradient of green, blue, and purple gave me the perfect whimsical “water play” vibe for these adorable little platypus friends. I started by blending: Cracked Pis
