"Make It Rain: Stunning Card Tutorial with the Umbrella Days Bundle and Clear Embossing Technique"

 Hi Friends!

If you’ve been searching for the perfect rainy-day card idea, look no further! Last week on my Facebook Live, I shared how to create a stunning handmade card using the Umbrella Days bundle and the beautiful Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper. But the real star of the show? A fabulous technique for creating realistic rain using clear embossing powder. Trust me, this card is a showstopper!

This project highlights the magic of embossing, turning simple designs into textured works of art. With clear embossing powder, I was able to mimic the look of raindrops glistening against a stormy background. It’s one of those techniques that’s surprisingly easy to do but delivers maximum impact—your friends and family won’t believe you made this yourself! Combine that with the versatile Umbrella Days bundle and the dreamy patterns of the Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper, and you’ve got a card that’s equal parts elegant and heartwarming.

The Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper was the perfect companion for this project, with its soft tones and elegant patterns bringing out the best in the Umbrella Days bundle. The combination is a match made in crafty heaven! And don’t even get me started on the sentiments—uplifting, heartfelt, and perfect for sending a little love, no matter the weather.

To make crafting a breeze, I’ve included a step-by-step video tutorial that walks you through the entire process. From achieving that rain effect to perfectly layering your cardstock, I’ll show you every tip and trick to bring this design to life. And for those who love to plan ahead, don’t miss the graphic I’ve shared with a full supply list and measurements.

Discover the Sweet Magic of Gingerbread and Donuts: The Ultimate Fall Bundle

 Hi Crafty Friends!

Who said autumn crafting has to stick to muted tones and fall foliage? During my latest Facebook Live, I brought bright, cheery colors to the spotlight with a card that’s equal parts sweet and sassy. Using the More Than Autumn bundle, I crafted a delightful design that’s all about donuts—lots and lots of donuts! The sentiment? A playful nod to your favorite treat: “Nothing’s Better Than Doughnuts… except maybe you.”

The More Than Autumn bundle is hands-down one of the most versatile sets in my collection. Sure, it brings all the cozy vibes you need for apples, pumpkins, and gingerbread folks, but it also allows you to step outside the fall box and create something fresh, fun, and delicious. I’m talking donuts in bright, happy hues that practically leap off the card! To sweeten things up even more, I added a few ginger people, apples, and pumpkins—because why not throw in a little extra charm? Oh, and let’s not forget the peppermint embellishments that tie everything together in the most whimsical way.

The result? A card that’s brimming with personality, color, and sweetness. Whether you’re creating something playful for a friend or just want to showcase your love for all things sugary, this bundle gives you endless creative options. It’s impossible to look at this project and not smile.

If this card has you craving donuts and inspiration (or maybe just donuts), then you’re going to LOVE the class I’m hosting in January featuring the More Than Autumn bundle. While registration for the class kits has officially closed, I’m still offering the tutorial option—available to crafters anywhere in the world! If you want to join in on the fun and learn all my tips and tricks, email me for more details.

This tutorial will have you whipping up creative projects with this bundle in no time. Whether it’s donuts, pumpkins, or gingerbread creations, the More Than Autumn bundle will carry you through the seasons and beyond.

Be sure to grab your favorite ink pads, embellishments, and cardstock because nothing’s better than crafting… except maybe donuts!

How to Wow: Stunning Card Designs with Frames & Flowers Specialty Paper

 Hi Friends!

Wednesday was a creative explosion of paper and possibilities with my Sunshine Club Stamp Crafts seniors group! Using the stunning Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Paper, this talented group got to design their own unique card. Everyone chose their own background paper and design elements, making each creation a true reflection of their individual style. While they were busy crafting, I also showcased two cards I had made with the same paper, giving them a little extra inspiration to get their creativity flowing.

The Frames & Flowers paper was the star of the show, with its intricate patterns and vibrant colors sparking endless ideas. From soft florals to bold geometrics, the group made some spectacular choices that perfectly matched their personal styles. Some leaned into romantic, vintage vibes, while others went modern and bright, proving that this paper really is a chameleon for any aesthetic.

What I loved most was watching their creativity bloom. Some added layered frames, others played with dimensional accents, and a few even experimented with unique layouts. No two cards were the same, and that’s what made the session so much fun. There’s something truly magical about seeing a single pack of designer paper transformed in so many ways. These seniors reminded me once again that crafting isn’t about perfection—it’s about personality.

If you’re looking for a way to stretch your paper stash and showcase your own creative flair, take a page from this session. Let your background paper guide your inspiration, and don’t be afraid to mix and match elements. Who knows? You might just surprise yourself with a masterpiece or two.

Create Magical Winter Cards with Frozen Edges Dies

 Hi Freinds!

Who’s ready to embrace those frosty vibes? Today, I’m sharing a card that will have you dreaming of shimmering icicles and winter wonderlands. The star of the show is the Frozen Edges Dies. These versatile tools bring a whole new level of frosty elegance to your card-making game, and they’re a must-have for all your winter crafting projects.

This card design is a fresh take on winter elegance. Instead of traditional icy blues, I used Petal Pink, Blackberry Bliss, and Gold to create a warm, sophisticated palette with a hint of glamour. The rich tones of Blackberry Bliss contrast beautifully with the softness of Petal Pink, while touches of gold add just the right amount of festive sparkle. The Frozen Edges Dies tie it all together with their intricate, frosted details, elevating the design to something truly special.

To add even more dimension, I used enamel effects to highlight some of the die-cut details. A few strategically placed highlights of metallic enamel effects created the illusion of delicate frozen dew drops, giving the card an extra layer of texture and shine. It’s a simple technique that brings a unique, handmade touch to the design and complements the overall frosty theme beautifully.

To help you recreate this frosty masterpiece, I’ve put together a full video tutorial. In the video, I demonstrate how to use the Frozen Edges Dies and share tips for assembling your card. You’ll see just how simple it is to achieve that polished, professional look. 

If you’re feeling adventurous, try layering vellum behind the die-cut edges for a frosted glass effect or use holographic cardstock to add an extra pop of shine. There’s no limit to the creative possibilities these dies offer, and they’ll quickly become a favorite in your collection.

Whether you’re crafting holiday greetings, winter birthday cards, or just want to send a little snowy cheer, the Frozen Edges Dies will take your projects to the next level. Watch the tutorial, give it a try, and let me know how you’re using these dies to make your own frosty creations. I can’t wait to hear from you!

Creative Spins with the November 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit: Filled With Joy!

 Hi Friends!

Get ready to take your holiday cardmaking game to the next level! The November 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit, Filled With Joy, is packed with festive vibes, and in my recent live video demonstration, I had the best time transforming this kit into something fresh and fabulous. Sure, the kit is already amazing, but who says we can't add a little extra flair?

I created two alternative card designs during the live, and let me tell you—they are bursting with holiday cheer. Using the kit pieces as my foundation, I mixed things up, added some creative twists, and ended up with cards that are as unique as they are joyful. Whether you're looking for inspiration to step up your Paper Pumpkin projects or just want to see how you can stretch the kit beyond its original design, this tutorial is for you.

The first card is an absolute showstopper—a spinner fun fold that’s as entertaining to make as it is to give. This design takes interactive cards to a whole new level, with a spinning element that’s sure to delight the lucky recipient. There’s just something so satisfying about crafting a card that moves, spins, and adds a touch of whimsy to the holiday season. It’s the kind of card that gets a second—and third—look because it’s just that fun. If you’re looking to wow your friends and family with a little crafty magic, this spinner card is where it’s at!

The second card brings all the festive charm with ornament elements straight from the kit. By layering the tags and pieces, I created a design that feels both elegant and playful—like a perfectly decorated tree in card form. The ornaments pop with just the right amount of detail, making this card a holiday favorite that’s equal parts classic and creative. It’s proof that sometimes all you need are the right elements and a little imagination to craft something fun and playful. This one is guaranteed to bring a smile to anyone’s face and a little sparkle to their holiday season!

The video tutorial is ready and waiting to show you every detail of how these cards came together. From assembling the base to adding those perfect finishing touches, I walk you through the entire process. If you're a fan of a good holiday craft session with plenty of laughs and creative ideas, you don’t want to miss it.

The embossed details create a raised texture that’s so tactile and refined, you’ll want to run your fingers over it (and then admire it from every angle).

And that gold? Oh, it’s not just gold—it’s the kind of gold that makes you feel like you’ve unlocked the secret to effortless glamour. Every detail, from the metallic accents to the clean white backdrop, works together like a symphony of elegance. Think "red carpet meets greeting card," but without the stress of finding the perfect outfit.

If you’ve been waiting for a project that screams sophistication while whispering “I made this myself,” this is the one. The Happy Hibiscus set, embossing folder, and dies have teamed up to create a card that’s equal parts chic and sentimental. Go ahead, make someone’s mailbox shine—you’ve got the golden touch!
