Is there anything cuter than these Christmas mice? Especially the caroling ones! “Falalalala!” My card today is a fun fold inspired by Jeanie Stark’s Monday Mystery Stampin’! She took a couple of weeks off, so I’m glad to see her Monday posts back. I used the Designer Series Paper called…
For our last September posting of Create with Stamping Friends, I’ve chosen a Christmas theme (doesn’t it seem to start earlier and earlier each year?!!)

Welcome to our July posting of Creating Coast to Coast! This month Rosanne takes the lead, so we are traveling east to west… Her chosen theme this month is Christmas in July, using scraps! How fun! I have lots of scraps, as I imagine most of you do. Let’s take…
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…
Welcome back to Creating Coast to Coast with Rosanne from Pennsylvania and me from California! This month we are showing off some products from the Last Chance List that were some of our favorites. I’ve watched the large list begin to dwindle. We’re gearing up for a new catalog and…
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the Pals have been busy creating cozy, frosty, whimsical card ideas and paper crafts for our Winter Wonderland theme — using our favorite Stampin’ Up! goodies.

With the days getting shorter and your “to-do” list getting longer, a quick and simply cute card is just what you need! I’m guessing you’re like me with a million things to do before Christmas, but I still want to send cards for a variety of reasons! Here’s an idea…
I’m playing with the Tic, Tac, Toe Challenge today! I’ve dipped into my retired stash and mixed older products with some current ones to make a star-shaped Christmas tag (or card!) Don’t have these older products? No problem! Read on down to learn how to make something similar with what…
On Wednesday for Creating Coast to Coast, I showed you a Fun Fold Gift Card Holder with Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP. You can see it HERE. And I promised another card today using the same paper, different sheet. This particular sheet has a dark, moody feel with the same blues/greens/cherry…
