First Frost

Hi everyone! Long time, no see. I had such a busy semester that I have not been keeping up with my blog like I've wanted to. That doesn't mean I haven't been busy stamping! Now that I'm done with school for about a month, my goal is to catch up on sharing everything I've been up to!

Christmas is just around the corner, and I wanted to take some time to share a few of my favorite projects with you all.

The First Frost Clear-Mount Bundle from the Frosted Floral Suite was something that caught my eye immediately when I first looked through the Holiday Catalog. And sure enough... almost all of my projects that I have done for Christmas have used this bundle! I will share a few of them here.

Here are four cards I created with this bundle. What I love about the products in this suite is that you have the freedom to create more than just Christmas cards. The first picture was the card I sent out to friends and family for the Holidays, but it could really be used for a wedding, graduation, or just a card to say "hi" to someone. This was one I CASE'd from the Holiday catalog because... come on... it's beautiful. This card uses Soft Seafoam cardstock, vellum sheets, and Mossy Meadow, Poppy Parade, and Night of Navy ink.


The stamp set also comes with a "Congratulations" sentiment. I think this card would be perfect for a winter wedding! This card uses Tranquil Tide, Soft Seafoam, and Whisper White cardstock. It also features Tranquil Tide and Soft Seafoam ink. I love that the Designer Series Paper in this suite features SO many of my favorite colors. The possibilities are seriously endless with this suite.


These last two cards were both featured at my Christmas Stamp Camp, and my customers had so much fun creating them and making them their own. As you can see, the first one can again be used for different occasions besides Christmas. It features many of the gorgeous framelits that are included in the bundle. This card features Night of Navy cardstock and Tranquil Tide, Pear Pizzazz, Night of Navy, and Petal Pink ink. The second card is definitely a Christmas card because of the sentiment, but I just love the nontraditional colors of the Designer Series Paper. The paper in this suite was printed on shimmery white paper, so it has a beautiful sparkle to it. I wish you could see it in the picture! This card uses Mossy Meadow and Whisper White cardstock, and Mossy Meadow ink. Nice and simple!


This has been one of my favorite suites to work with because of the possibilities it allows. I hope you've enjoyed these projects! The First Frost Bundle will be carried over into the new year, so there is still time to get your hands on these amazing products!

Stay tuned later in the week for another post about a different kind of project I made with products from this suite. You won't want to miss it!

It's been almost a month since I've made a blog post, so let me tell you about my new favorite color combo. I have been using variations of this combination of colors in all of my projects for the last like week, and I didn't even notice it until now! I also am still very obsessed with the Nature's Poem Suite as you can probably tell. The images and sentiments in the stamp set are versatile enough that I find I am using them on many of the cards I have made lately. I also went camping with my boyfriend the weekend after the 4th of July, so that inspired me as well. Nature is always my go-to source for inspiration! The colors are: Crumb Cake Mint Macaron Petal Pink Grapefruit Grove Here are all of the projects that I've made using these colors. Grapefruit Grove and Crumb Cake Petal pink, mint macaron, and some Nature's Poem DSP I hope you've enjoyed checking out a few of my projects using some of my current favorite colors and go-...

Happy Birthday, You Sweet Thing

It's been busy around here! I've been wanting to start making videos for you all for a while now, and I JUST got all of the things I need for it! I have the best boyfriend ever who, when I told him I needed a new table for my stamping room, made me a custom one. Check it out! I'm so obsessed! Isn't it gorgeous?!? So I had to get to work right away to make my very first video with my new supplies! I chose the Piece of Cake Bundle from the Occasions Catalog to design this adorable card. Instead of thinlits, this bundle comes with a punch for the two-tiered cakes and the cake stand in the stamp set. Both of the images are cut out in one punch, and it's always tricky and frustrating for me trying to punch out all of the images in a punch and trying to get them to align properly. SO! I was sitting in my craft room the other night, and I thought up an easy way to fix that problem using the help of my Stamparatus (This thing is so handy- I should have got...

Forever Lovely Birthday

I know a lot of people who have February birthdays, so be prepared for lots of fun birthday cards over the next month! This is just the first of many! Don't get me wrong, I love prepping for my classes and creating cards that everybody is going to enjoy making and giving to the people they love. But sometimes I feel like I don't use half of my supplies because I can't use them all during my classes! I really enjoyed making this more intricate, super fun card for a person I know whose personality fits this card perfectly! Just full of light and beauty! I loved the feeling of making a card specifically for a special person in my life. Because I have like four shoe drawers full of cards, I always just end up picking one out when an occasion comes up. This year I want to make more personalized cards for the people I love! Here is the card! Isn't it so fun?? Here are some details of the card. I used some extra pieces I had from my Stamp Camp that was a week ago and...
