Adding the Perfectly Plaid 3D embossing folder for some texture behind the tractor and chickens. Here is a funny…. I was going to leave the drivers seat empty.

Terrific Toadstool Explosion Box with Bee Mine
Terrific Toadstool Explosion Box First let me say I know the DSP is from Sale-a-Bration. HOWEVER, the Terrific Toadstool Explosion Box could really use any DSP or none. GASP, I know… but could. Please note, the ‘bee mine’ sentiment is from the Bee my Valentine stamp set. I love how our little toadstools could be any color, yes even Highland Heather. You know I love my ribbon. Using Twine and Ribbon together is a signature for me. I share all the fun steps of this explosion box including the bow. I will share the video link below.

Autumn Leaves Twig Wreath with leaves
Autumn Leaves Twig Wreath When I saw that the leaves had a separate die for the veins, I was super excited. So the Autumn Leaves Twig Wreath was conjured, concept was in process. Now how was I going to create the ‘wreath form’? Humm, Well, How about a couple of circle punches. That would work. Now how many die cuts will I need?? That was the question AND no idea for sure. I used both the “elm/birch’ set and the ‘oak’ veins. The colors that I thought would work best are Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. This card was created during a Coffee and Cards video but here is the…

Sending Butterflies Love and Big Hugs
Sending Butterflies Love and Big This card was made come the bits and pieces. Can you believe it? This Sending Butterflies Love and Big Hugs was ALL from the leftovers. I was shocked when it fell into place! I did for Coffee and Cards a couple weeks back. Using the Brilliant Wings and the coordinating stamp set. The colored Heat Embossing for the Butterflies. I had them all stamped and clear embossed waiting to be used. The butterflies went perfectly with the “sending” that was also cut out! Adding some Basic Black from my scraps too!

Waves of Inspiration from March? Yikes
Waves of Inspiration from March? I found this unloved card idea after searching for something else. I thought you guys might enjoy it! This Coffee and Cards idea, uses the Waves of Inspiration from March. Seriously, waaaay back? I decided that we needed some ocean breezes and sunshine. Double stamping the wave stamp in Coastal Cabana and then in Night of Navy. Note that the cardstock was adjusted slightly. I did this so that you would not miss it. Using the die cut for that little EXTRA something. That Silver Foil was perfect foam look. Curious on the inside sentiment? Well if I remember correctly? Nope, no photo! It ended…

It Started With Facebook Live, first Wednesday.
It Started With Facebook Live I would love for you to join me Wednesday nights for It Started With Facebook Live. We start at 6:30 central time and it is always a fun time. For the first Wednesday in August we made the above. The Painted Christmas Suite ( bundle 1, bundle 2 and DSP) does not disappoint. I will say that the die cuts really are amazing. These two layers and add a few pine cones and boom. No need for DSP on this one. However, the Sale-a-Bration Be Dazzling specialty paper is awesome. Especially once you figure out that you need to cut it from the top. Yes,…

Sweet Strawberry Plus Three additions to each set.
Sweet Strawberry Plus Three I love the Sweet Strawberry plus three idea. We started with the simple stamping idea. Created our own DSP using the two step stamping from the stamp set. I have to tell you that I really love using the Flirty Flamingo as the background color with the Real Red as the outline. How do feel about it?? The stem colors are Pear Pizzazz as the background and Granny Apple Green as the outline. That is where the Granny Apple Green cardbase was decided. Have you made your own DSP yet. It sure is easy. I used Basic White cardstock and grabbed the ink. The first was…
