Kat Scrappiness Vellum Snowflake Frame
I started out by stamping and heat embossing the foliage arrangement from the Christmas Add-On Stamp for the Holiday Lantern.
-
Sizzix Holiday Giveaway
As an aside, I know this folder is called Leaf Pattern, but I’ve always used it for holiday makes. The pattern looks like evergreen branches to me.
-
Reindeer Shaker Card
I’m still charmed by Simon Hurley’s Woodland Wildlife Stamp and Die Set. So for an Instagram challenge with a snow globe theme, I watercolored the reindeer from it.
-
Yeti Anniversary
I created a felt yeti with Rocky, the Dancin’ Yeti for his launch. But I also wanted to color him with Distress Watercolor Pencils.
-
So Very Merry 3
On Day 3 of Online Card Classes So Very Merry, Jennifer McGuire showed us how to create Hanukkah cards.
-
Peach & Purple Mums
For these two cards, I foiled the flower in peach and purple. Then I added some ink blending with a pale blue dye ink centered on the flower.
-
So Very Merry 2
The first teacher for Day 2 was Laura Bassen. She created eight cards, four that use a triangle as a stylized tree shape and four that use the negative.
-
So Very Merry 1
This week I’m participating in OnlineCardClasses.com’s holiday class. It’s Monday through Saturday, so there will be a lot of cardmaking this week.
-
Snowdrop Shaker
The snowdrop plate is part of the January Set of Spellbinders Florals Through the Year Collection. So I created a snow-themed shaker card with it.
-
Chrysanthemum Cards
I associate chrysanthemums with cemeteries. So it was natural to use the Chrysanthemum Press Plates for sympathy cards.
-
Christmas Boutique
When I got this die set I felt kind of meh about it. But now that I’ve created a card with it, I think it’s super cute! It was fun to put together, too.
-
A Yeti Christmas
I’m now designing for Spellbinders. You know I love their products, so it’s a great fit for me!
-
Flamboyant Fall Wreath
The theme of this month’s YouTube hop was Out of My Comfort Zone. So I tried alcohol inks.

Giveaway Statistics
On the question if giveaways increase follower counts, I can definitely say yes. My follower count increased on average by 3.78 with each giveaway.
-
Felt Owl Friend
Felt on cards seems to be having a moment. I wanted to use it on an upcoming project, so this is a practice card.
-
Sepia Cauldron
I started by creating the shaker. For this I used the two cauldron dies in the Kat Scrappiness Witches Brew Die Set.
-
Green Craftmas
First I used my Pinkfresh Solid Hot Foil Plate with all the cool-toned leftover foil to make my own foiled cardstock.
-
No Tricks
I started by stamping the two witches from Trinity Stamps Hocus Pocus Gnomes Stamp Set and coloring them with my Ohuhu Alcohol Markers.
-
A Monster Study in Teal
I’m still trying to reclaim Halloween tropes from the overdone, traditionally-discordant colors. Halloween cards can be tasteful, really!
-
For the Love of Paisley
Paisley is my hands-down favorite abstract pattern! So of course I needed the Glimmer Kit of the Month for June ‘22.
-
Blue Halloween
Today’s card is a watercolored Halloween card with a witchy little quokka. I’m starting by mixing the paint I need.
-
Dainty Ghost
I glued the first vellum piece to the back of the pattern paper slightly offset, so it looks fuller. Next I glued the second vellum piece offset in the other direction to the back.
-
Birthday Quokka
This is a pretty straightforward watercolored critter card. For my palette I was inspired by Palette 176 in the Color Cube volume 1.
-
Hello Pumpkin!
The scene I was visualizing needed a frame of some sort. After browsing through my Spellbinders bin, I selected a die set called Essential Arches.
