A little info about commenting here on my blog....

My comments are moderated because I get a ton of spam. The kind of spam that tells me about cholesterol medication, among others, and just weird bot comments so I filter those out. If you leave a comment and don't see it, thats ok! I will see it and I will get it posted for you.

The other issue is wether or not you need a google account. I have my comments set to "anyone" so technically you should be able to leave a comment with any type of login, but Blogger is a pain. If you can't leave a comment and are not sure if you your name is posting along with your comment, please add your name and email address to the end of your comment. This way we can see who you are if your comment gets chosen as a winner! I am sorry for the annoyance. I have no idea why it doesn't work like it should. I have googled and switched settings around and tried all the things but again...

Blogger is a pain.

Fa La La La La....

Happy Friday! I am excited to be a guest over at Concord and 9th this month. I will have several cards to share over the next week, all with the holiday theme! I also chose one color combo to use on all the cards.

This is the 2024 Color Collection and its one of my favorite combos. I thought it would make a really fun, non-traditional color combo for this months card.

Today I am sharing the Fa La La Inlay Die. This die is so much fun for so many reasons. The letters by themselves would be so cute on a card. The cut on top of a solid color card would be a great background. Or in the case of today's card, I die cut 5 colors and a silver cardstock to inlay all the letters.....

The benefit is, now I have 5 other card bases ready to make cards out of! I added some holly, a sentiment and banner die from the Festive Blooms Stamp Set and Festive Blooms Dies.

See the full Concord and 9th release by clicking HERE! Thanks for coming by today!

_________________________________________

Today I am using the Stitched Turkey Dies, the Layered Leaf Lattice Stencils and the Many Thanks Shadow Die set.

I used the lattice stencil with a light brown ink in the background. I paper pieced that adorable turkey together and added it to the card front. To finish off the card, I used the "thanks" die in black fun foam and black cardstock to add in a sentiment.

I adore this little stitched turkey die! So fun with so many different ways to build up a cutie!

The Greetery - Autumn Air Collection Day 2...

Day 2 from The Greetery is filled with lots more amazing Autumn goodies. I have 3 projects today so keep scrolling and then don't forget to leave a comment on each blog today for more chances to win a gift certificate!

First up is the new Grateful Greetings....

I love this stamp set! The big bold greeting is so much fun and then there are all the little extra sentiments to make all different occcasions. The sweet little flower can be stamped and die cut. I kept this one simple with the heat embossed sentiment and then the coral stenciled shadow. So quick and easy!

The Honeycomb series has some new characters...

These cute little spiders are perfect by themselves or using the little interactive honeycombs. I made some sweet treats for halloween. The fun part is the spiders are on the little springs to make them move. See the video over on IG!

Here is one last card using the new Hey Honeycomb Full Moon...

I popped up 3, 1" panels for a simple background and then added in the Honeycomb details. The shadow of the moon pops open to a cute little surprise...

The Greetery - Autumn Air Collection Day 1...

The latest collection from The Greetery is here! Thursday, August 29th is the day! We are showcasing all the latest in fall fashion today and tomorrow. Don't forget to leave a comment on each stop for your chance to win!

When getting into a post, showing all the things, I want to say....welcome to the clean and simple OR quick and simple side of The Greetery. I love taking Betsy's gorgeous designs and creating easy and simple cards in hopes that you are inspired to make some too! Let's get started!

This first card used the new stamp/stencil combo called Autumn Crest.

To create this card, I stamped and stencil the gorgeous crest. The stamp set comes with several sentiments and you can also purchase the dies to cut out the full image. I added some score lines to a green card base and then attached the crest with some some foam tape for dimension.

This next card was made using the Mums the Word stamp set.

I love those blooms and the possibilities with this set. You can create a full frame, or keep it simple but just using a little corner piece. I added a masked off frame of the same color I stamped the mums in and then added in that gorgeous sentiment from the same set.

One last new set today called Oakwood....

These were created with a stamp/stencil combo. The color combos you could use on these leaves are endless! I love the detail and just how easy it was to create. I layered this on cardstock that I ran through with the new Pierced Plaid Plate. Love that subtle detail!

These are the Days - The Greetery July 2024

HI friends! The latest Greetery Release is coming tomorrow, Tuesday, July 29th, and we are all here today to share all about it! Keep reading to see my clean and simple projects and to see a full list of blogs to hop to. Don't forget to leave a comment on each stop for your chance to win! Keep scrolling to learn a about the prizes!

This month is all about the most adorable little calendars. These would make the perfect gifts, little calendar scrapbooks and you can even use the the stamps and dies to create a card.

Lets start with today's card....

To create this card, I used the Spring Meadow Background with a gray ink on a light gray card base. I die cut the spiral bound elements in a silver cardstock and created a calendar page. Using the elements from the Calendar Basics Stamp Set, I created a specific birthday day, birthday card! I added a pop of color using the flowers from the Birth Month Blooms Cutables and a pen with the Pen Pal Die.

I created a quick and simple birthday calendar with the 2025 Calendar Pages - Full Page.

I used the Spiral Bound Dies on the top of each page and then added the monthly bloom to each of the inside pages. To create the birthday calendar, I used a ruler and a black pen to add lines. At the top of each page, I used the "Take Note" sentiment, creating a page to record birthdays. I also used the Calendar Grid Die Stencil to add a little extra color to the pages.

Scroll through to see each of the pages....
