Christmas always seems to sneak up on me while I’m happily enjoying pumpkin-everything, so this year I’m making a real effort to stay on top of my handmade Christmas cards. This easy card mixes vintage images with bright and beautiful cardstocks on sale this month in the CutCardStock store. Start by trimming Neenah Classic Crest…
I have so many things to be grateful for, I wanted a pocket or purse size journal to record them in during November. I created a small (4.25″ x 5.5″) Gratitude Journal for recording what I am grateful for each day. It could be a simple saying or thought, a photograph with a short caption…
Are you planning a Halloween party or family get-together for Thanksgiving? We try to do a little something each year, either a Halloween party or a fancy Thanksgiving, or both! There are three households close to one another here in San Antonio & Buda. We like to designate a house, and all the families will…
Hi Friends!! kel here today 🙂 Taking a break from the fall-filled posts with a bright birthday card! I’m here to share a card with you today that ended up so different from what I intended!! I started out with some beautifully bright (but not too bright!) colors from the Pop Tones collection. The colors I ended…
Warm days, cool nights and turning leaves have welcomed fall in abundance here in Maine! One of the things I love about fall and cooler weather is burning my favorite candles. Here’s a project using a battery operated candle, so it’s beautiful to look at and not a safety issue. Here’s a glimpse at some…
It’s pumpkin time here in the midwest. I created a card in honor of all the local pumpkin patches. It can be used for birthday, thinking of you or just to welcome spring. I cut a piece of Cougar White Super Smooth to 2.75″ x 4″, stamped the image and colored it with colored pencils. I…
Hi Friends!! kel here today 🙂 Can you believe it’s almost Halloween? I went to the mall with my kids the other day (something we rarely do) and there was Halloween stuff EVERYWHERE!! So I’m here to share a super different Halloween card… different for me anyway! I usually stick with the cute and fun but was…
Today we’re making a Thanksgiving themed card based around a color palette involving orange, brown, and gold card stocks. I started out using my Kuretaki Gansai Tambi pallete to mix up some yellowish, orange, and red colors. I knew I wanted this watercolor background I was creating to have a lot of color variation and…
According to the calendar, the official first day of fall will be here on Friday, September 22nd, so I thought it would be fun to plunge right in to Halloween. Today’s project is easy to make and so fun to give! How about some spooky-cute treat bag toppers to give to all the little ghosts…
It’s September and time for sunflowers and spiced pumpkin. I love this time of year with all the colors. This card is inspired by the darker colored sunflowers. CutCardstock had the perfect colors. I chose Pop Tone in Hot Fudge (4.24″ x 5.5″ and 3.25″ x 3.75) and Tangy Orange (3 3/8″ x 3 7/8″ and 4.25″ x…
I love working with just plain white cardstock, don’t you? It’s like a blank canvas – there are so many techniques you can use to make projects uniquely your own. One of my favorite techniques is applying ink through a stencil, which is what I did to make the background for today’s anniversary card. I…
