Today we’re wrapping up the Holiday Countdown series for 2018. I hope you’ve enjoyed all of the inspiration for quick and simple holiday projects that the design team has shared over the past couple of weeks! Today I’m sharing an easy holiday card idea…just in case you’ve accidentally missed someone on your list! Start by…
Larger cards can be overwhelming to decorate when you need a several. A1 cards are a perfect size. They can still be sent through the mail, hold a gift card, used as a tag for a package or gift bag, and added to a fresh flower arrangement. I started with a flat A7 card (5″…
Happy Holiday Season! It’s certainly looking like Christmas here in Chicagoland, as we received a huge snowstorm on Sunday night, blanketing the land in white, and even canceling school! Hopefully, it will stick around long enough for us to have a white Christmas. I’m super excited to be hosting Christmas dinner this year, so I…
Hello and welcome to Day 3 of our Holiday Countdown! Niki here and today I have a clean and simple card for you featuring die embossing and a little bit of no-line coloring. I used a super thick piece of Savoy 236# Cotton cardstock cut to 5-1/4” x 4” to make the card front. You…
I’m not a big holiday person, and since we typically don’t spend it at our house, I don’t do a lot of decorating. But since this is the first Christmas in our new house, I am excited to add some holiday-themed items around our new space. I came across a post with these paper gingerbread…
I’m pretty new to the quilling world, but I saw so many awesome projects on Pinterest and Instagram that I wanted to take a stab at it. I read a bunch of posts, watched tons of YouTube tutorials and ended up choosing to make my own quilling strips. You can buy packs online, but for…
I’ve been experimenting with fun color combinations lately after taking a color theory class. I love using navy cardstock, so for today’s project I paired the rich, dark Royal Sundance Midnight Blue linen cardstock with Neenah Environment Desert Storm cardstock. I added a peek of Basis Light Lime for interest. I started off by stamping…
Hello and happy Monday to you! Niki here and today I have a cute (and quick!) thank you card you can make for your crafty friends. Recently, I picked up some new craft goodies and I couldn’t wait to try them out on my favorite cardstock. I’m in love with the texture of Royal Sundance…
Happy Friday! The weather has finally dropped here and it is starting to feel like fall. This project combines a couple of my favorite things fall leaves and candy. I made little paper covers for treat bags to give out to some friends for Halloween. These come together in no time at all but I…
Living in Houston, TX, I don’t really get four seasons anymore, but I like to pretend it’s fall and ignore the fact that it’s still 90 degrees outside. To help support my delusion I wanted to create some fall decor. I went with a wreath to hang on the inside of our front door and…
Sometimes a simple thanks is just that… not complicated or crowded out with detail. That’s exactly what I’m sharing with you today. I started with some basic supplies to create a fall look to my card. Savoy Cotton, Dark Orange and Brown Bag cardstocks. I knew that because I was using the cotton cardstock, Distress…
Fall is by far my favorite time of the year. I love when the weather cools down; the colors for fall are just gorgeous. I think I might actually like decorating for fall just as much as Christmas. Today I have some paper pumpkins to share. I have all of my fall decorations out but…
