From Me to You

New Christmas stamps have landed in my shop. I'm in love!

How stinkin cute are they!?

There's 12 different sets to choose from, and they all coordinate with our All-purpose Tags Thin Cuts. I've bought some not to use as tags. I'm using them for my Christmas cards!

Let Us Adore Him + O Holy Night + Paper + Cardstock

I've also snapped up this one to use with the new To-Go Cups Thin Cuts.

Cup of Cheer + To-Go Cups + Santa Fuel

These would be perfect for gift cards or mini treats!

Impossible + Wanted + For You + Gift Card + Favor + Ribbon

Check out all the other options for this special here. Offer available through December 31 2022, while supplies last.

Beautiful Friendship Blog Hop

If you arrived here from Megan's Crop Craft Create, welcome. Join in and hop around!

This hop features our Beautiful Friendship collection. The combination of pinks and yellow florals mixed with navy and gray teapots makes for a lovely versatile palette.

There's papers, stickers, stampsets, thin cut dies, embellishments, and kits to choose from in this collection. I used the paper packet, cardstock, and the cardmaking thin cuts bundle to create this card and layout.

My mother in law's mother's day card. :)

I gifted my mother in law and sister in law a treat and cuppa for mother's day. When we go have our excursion, this is the layout I'm using to document it. I maaaaaaaaaay have gone a bit overboard with the dovetailed banners.

Tea for Three layout. The toffee paper helped lift the colors and makes the yellow pop.

Easy journaling prompts on a PML card. I used the SOTM for these.

Stamped, die cut, and layered banners with a bit of bling.

More banners!

Yep, more banners. Couldn't help myself!

To make these projects, I used my basic toolkit plus these materials. Click through to purchase or contact your consultant. Basic Toolkit: (Versamat, Trimmer, Ruler, Adhesive Runner, Stamping Starter Kit, Blocks, Nonstick Microtip Scissors), Beautiful Friendship Paper Packet Coordinating Cardstock and Stamp + Thin Cuts, Classic Summer Bash and Angel Policy Stampsets, Basic Banners and Block Alphabet Thin Cuts, Sparkles, Gold Glitter Gems, Bashful Shimmer Brush, Heather Pacifica Bashful and Toffee Exclusive Inks, Make It from Your Heart™ Volume 3 and Journaling Pen.

This hop features our beautiful Postcard Perfect collection. The bright florals and tropical prints are simply gorgeous and very easy to craft with. Simply seeing this packet on my studio table makes me smile. :)

Paper Packet $23

Stampset $27

I used the gift card box thin cuts along with Postcard Perfect paper packet and Stampset to create these gift boxes. The boxes are made from the ombre and floral papers. The stamped images are all fussy cut and stuck down then embellished with some blingy bits. Inside is a message and a gift for the recipients.

Box 1

Box 1 - inside

Can't wait to give these to some very special people!

Layout #6 of 10
