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-

Genuine Gems

I had such a fun time at OnStage in Minneapolis this past weekend, and I just HAD to play with one of my new stamp sets when I got home! As some of you know, I haven't been great at keeping up with my stamping lately because I have been finishing up my undergrad degree, my grandmother recently passed away, and life is throwing some other curveballs at me right now. It's been difficult to get back into stamping, which is a shame because it truly is my self-care. Part of getting better physically and mentally means getting back into my stamping room more often! I'm glad that OnStage gave me some motivation this weekend. So anyway... how fitting that for my Prize Patrol at OnStage, I got a stamp set full of sympathy sentiments! The new set, which will be available in the NEW 2019-2020 ANNUAL CATALOG, is called Genuine Gems. I'm not one for making a lot of sympathy cards, but I love the sentiments in this set! I used a few of the stamps from this set to make a card for
