I recently acquired the Merriest Trees Dies and I am excited to make lots of fun cards with them. To start off I went simple – Merriest Trees with simple joy! I may have been a little over-zealous with the “snow” splatter, lol! but we’ll just pretend it has been…

We are thinking all about autumn this month and have created autumnal cards for you. She suggested that we highlight a large sentiment for CASEing…
I have a fun fold for Merry Monday this week! It is a fold I learned by watching Julie DiMatteo on her Paper Pixie You Tube. I believe she called it an Accordion Fold, aptly named because you “play” the accordion as you open and close it! I used the…
