I love a Christmas stamp that looks this pretty with just a little color. The sweet house in Unity Stamp Company’s Where Christmas Lives has so many beautiful details, and a few touches of watercolor are all it needs. I kept this watercolor Christmas card simple with torn paper layers and…
A shaker card hanging right off the edge? I had to try that. I’ve been seeing these fun off the edge shakers lately. They look like so much fun and sparked the idea for today’s card. The sweet little couple from Unity Stamp Company felt perfect for it, especially with…

I adore this skeleton. As soon as I saw Sir Skeleton by Spellbinders, I knew he had to BOO-gie. 😂 He already had the hat and bow tie, so I could totally picture him dancing down the street. A little spinner was all I needed to make that happen, and I love…
I make cards all the time, yet somehow I’m still late sending birthday cards. I can’t figure out how that happens. Haha. So, I have a fun and quick belated birthday card idea for both of us when we are running behind. I used Unity Stamp Company’s new Eventually Yours stamp set…
I love to read, so the Little Library August My Monthly Hero kit from Hero Arts made my heart so very happy. All those tiny book details pulled me right in, especially the shelves, bookmarks, and little library checkout cards. Those cards brought back so many memories of going to the library and actually…
