Here she is again, Mrs. Gnome, with a little Christmas wish. How sweet is this card!?! My layout is one that Linda Heller reminded me about in her weekly videos. She calls it a “Framed Strip Card” and it’s a layout I have done a few times in the past.…
Today is my final card design for my Sunday Stamps Sketch Week. I’ve made a card with white poinsettias for the “grand finale!” This card is best seen up close & personal because it has lots of texture and shine that doesn’t quite translate through the photography. But trust me,…
Is there anything cuter than a Gnome home? I think NOT! This is Day 4 of my Sunday Stamp Sketch Week. I’ve turned the sketch on its side today and gave it a fun twist with Gnome for the Holidays. Mrs. Gnome is shyly hiding on the inside, waiting for…
I’m going for sparkle and shine on today’s Snowflake Splendor card. This Designer Series Paper is a cool blend of blues and purples ~ so pretty! And today is Day 2 of my Sunday Stamps sketch challenge. If you remember from yesterday, I am trying several designs based on one…
Can you see the forest through the trees? Might be difficult in this dense evergreen forest! I used my new Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder and In the Pines Bundle to create this snowy scene. This embossing folder is so textural. It really gives the illusion of a 3 dimensional…
Here’s a card that is sure to put a smile on someone’s face! I’ve combined Gnome For The Holidays with In The Pines. It’s a Gnome in the Pines Christmas card! Looks like Mr. Gnome is about to finish decorating the tree. He wants you to see the rest of…
Welcome to our monthly posting we call CASEing Coast to Coast! Last month, I CASEd Rosanne’s beautiful floral framed card (see it HERE). This month she will CASE my design, and I’ve chosen to show poinsettias from the Poinsettia Petals Bundle. I know it’s early for a Christmas card, really!…

To make today’s card, all you have to do is arrange a (clean & simple) wreath! It’s a very simple design but uses a couple of interesting techniques that you might be interested in trying. Take a look ~ I used Arrange a Wreath Stamp Set and came up with…
More Christmas in July! Today I’m pulling out an old favorite from my cupboard. This Santa is whipping up a batch of Christmas goodies that will please anyone’s sweet tooth! I made this for the current 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge. The theme is Santa! Such fun! Here is the…

What fun! Christmas cards in MAY??? Unheard of! But I found another Challenge that I was drawn to. It’s called the Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge, and this week’s challenge is to use an Embossing Technique, which I embraced fully (as you will see!) Here is the Challenge Banner. And here…
Welcome back for our December CASEing Coast to Coast! Each month my friend, Rosanne Mulhern and I take turns CASEing each other’s card projects. We call it “Coast to Coast” because she lives in Pennsylvania and I’m in California. We share a love for card-making and met each other through…
The Top Dogs Stampin’ Family, started by Susan Itell, had a one-to-one card SWAP this month. I had the absolute pleasure of collecting the cards, photographing them, swapping them, then mailing one out to each participant. I’m going to share them with you here because most of these ladies do…
