Each month-ish during 2022 I will sharing a new video with Christmas cards, gift card holders, tags, and/or bags/packaging! Today's video features 4 classic Christmas foiled wreath cards that showcase mixing and matching products from Hero Arts (cardstock and background stamp), Simon Says Stamp (foil and cut wreath, greetings, and Pawsitively Saturated inks), Concord & 9th (poinsettia and leaves), Pretty Pink Posh (pearls and confetti), and Tim Holtz (Foundry Wax). This is my all time favorite way to create!

Happy Saturday, friends! Yesterday morning I went Live over on YouTube where I created some sew fun stitchy themed cards using the newest Concord & 9th Release! I purchased these the minute they were released as I am a quilter and cross stitcher and so I was all over these amazing products! Even though these are sewing themed, keep in mind you can send these to anyone, not just a fellow cross stitcher or quilter. 😉❤️🧵🪡

Currently I am doing a Friday morning Lives at 9 am CT. Replays will be on my YouTube Channel.
I have a few requests to edit the Lives. Currently I am not going to edit them. This is for a couple of reasons:
1) Lives are new to me and we are going to stick with this format for a bit. I personally love Lives. I haven't watched an edited Live so I reserve the right to reconsider in the future if I think it's something I can fit in my schedule.
2) I don't want to spend the precious hours I have for creating new content, editing a Live. I will be bringing the exact same amount of traditional content and videos to my channel. Lives/replays are in addition to that content.
If you want to join us for some real-time crafty fun each week I would love to "see" you there. Please make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel and click the notification bell so that YouTube alerts you when I'm going live. I am trying to reach 100,000 subscribers so if you haven't subscribed yet I would SO appreciate it! I am grateful for my community on all the platforms!
Thanks to everyone who joined me today! I had a blast visiting with everyone. ❤️
Happy Saturday! It's the last weekend of STAMPtember and Simon Says Stamp has TWO collaborations to share with you today from Concord & 9th (I know y'all have been waiting for this one) and Sugar Pea Designs! The exclusive, limited edition set for Concord & 9th STAMPtember 2021 is, Double The Thanks. The exclusive, limited edition set for Sugar Pea Designs is Everyday Home. I decided to combine both cards into one video today so both designs earn equal love in the Premiere (and beyond!). Let's get started!

Happy Tuesday, friends! I've rolled out a new series over on my YouTube Channel where I do weekly Lives. I am really loving being able to connect with you all and chat while creating a card or other fun project! Last night I shared ideas for Christmas In July and stitching up some fun felt ornaments with dies from my stash! I love doing a project like this now as it gives us plenty of time to finish in time for the holidays. I don't know about you but this year, and especially this summer, has flown by!

Throughout STAMPtember we will be celebrating every day posting exclusive collaborations, contests, prizes, special promotions, announcements, and more surprises! Simon’s blog will announce what we have planned every day.
This amazing Triangle Turnabout makes the most lovely quilted looking geometric backgrounds! In fact, this was my first attempt at a Turnabout from Concord & 9th and I. Am. Hooked!
I created multiple backgrounds however I only finished one of the cards. I'm working with limited supplies while I'm out of town at craft retreat with friends! Look for more examples of these finished cards on my Instagram and social media platforms next week!
For the healing hugs card I stamped The Stamp Market Citrine, Leafy, Cactus, and Emerald Isle inks to create the tone-on-tone green background. I trimmed the background down to 4" x 5 1/4" and mounted it on a white top fold card base.
A sentiment from the Healing Hugs Stamp Set was stamped on Emerald Isle Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The sentiment was die cut with a Sentiment Labels Die, trimmed down, and adhered below the die cut layered sentiment.
Hearts from the Healing Hugs Stamp Set were stamped in the open spaces to finish the cards.

To celebrate my love of crafting, I'm creating one of my favorite kinds of cards, one mixing and matching supplies from multiple companies and one that features rainbow color! I've had this awesome Concord & 9th Unicorn Awesomeness Stamp Set for awhile now and have never used it! Today seemed like the perfect opportunity to showcase this awesome images and all the colors of the rainbow!
The background panel for my card was die cut from Bristol Smooth Cardstock using the largest Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle Die. The panel was inked with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink and then stenciled with the MFT Stamps Radiating Rays Stencil and Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Shaded Lilac, and Blueprint Sketch Distress Inks. A Distress Sprayer was used to spritz water over the panel and then blotted dry with a paper towel.
Two more panels were die cut from smooth white cardstock and vellum and die cut with the cloud border from the Unicorn Dies. The borders were layered along the bottom edge of the rainbow panel. A sentiment from the Concord & 9th Unicorn Awesomeness Stamp Set was stamped in the upper right corner of the card using Versafine Onyx Black Ink and colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.
The unicorn from the Concord & 9th Unicorn Awesomeness Stamp Set was stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock, colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, die cut with the coordinating Unicorn Dies, and adhered to the scene as shown. Detail was added to the unicorn with a Sakura Stardust Glitter Pen, Glossy Accents was added to the eye, and Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard was added to the unicorn horn.
Distress Inks were used to add color to a scrap of Bristol Smooth Cardstock and then the heart and star confetti from the Unicorn Dies were die cut and adhered to the card as shown. Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard was applied to the shapes and a few additional drops were added throughout the card to complete the magical design.

Happy Sunday friends! Special thanks to our friends at Concord & 9th for collaborating on this exciting celebration stamp set, Hello You. I am a sucker for brush strokes style stamp sets for their versatility and ability to add that watercolored/painted look so quickly and easily. In addition to the great "painted" or "brush stroke" images in this set, there are some fantastic greetings that can be mixed and matched for different occasions. The Hello You Stamp Setwill be available while supplies last.
For my cards today, I'm used brush stroke images from Hello You to create ombre backgrounds with Simon Says Stamp dye inks! Just look at all that inky goodness! This design would be fantastic to duplicate many times to create a set of cards to give as a gift!
For each stamped strip, I started with a brush stroke image from the Hello You Stamp Set. I stamped the image repeatedly with different ink colors, forming an ombre background.
Green Leaf and Surf Blue cardstock panels were embossed with the new STAMPtember Cora Texture Embossing Plate. I love embossed backgrounds for adding interest to the background but not overwhelming the other elements. The ombre stamped borders were adhered to each background as shown.
Each card was finished with a scattering of Nuvo Crystal Drops in either Simply White/Key Lime/Woodland Green or Simply White/Sea Breeze/Navy Blue.
