I offered a “Christmas in July” class last week where we made 5 projects using A Stitched Season Suite Collection. It was fun and maybe a tiny bit challenging. But the end results were worth it. Some of it was a bit “fiddly” to use a phrase that my friend…

Have you ever heard of an explosion card? This fun creation was inspired by Jeanie Stark’s Mystery Stampin’ post this week. It “explodes” when you open it for a fun surprise! I made mine with the festive Christmas Tags & More 6″x 6″ Specialty DSP. Here’s the front: I trimmed…
