Dear Santa…Love Penguin

By on December 13, 2025 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a Dear Santa Card from the penguins! Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I love these little penguins and the accessories and details that come with this stamp set. Look at those little antlers and candy canes!!

To mask off the ribbon, I used the Hi Swirl Die placement stencil with the Diagonal Stencil on top…then I was able to create those peppermint stripes! I cut the ribbon from red glitter paper using the Hi Swirl Frame die. It’s such a beautiful die set.

I cut the sentiment from the EIEIO Frame Die set (with alphabet dies), and the mini envelopes from the Lots of Letters die set. I just love those mini envelopes!

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Gilding Flakes on Designer Postage Stamps
By  on November 22, 2025  in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I am so happy to share a new video creating Designer Christmas Postage Stamps with Gilding Flakes accents!





Watch the video below or on YouTube:













I love creating postage stamps, and these Christmas inspired stamps hold extra glitter and shine! Today I used silver Gilding Flakes, but you could use gold or any color you want! Take a close look at the inside frame of the postage stamp….that’s where I added the silver gilding flakes. So beautiful.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I used a few stencils and the Postage Seal and Shaker Collection for each of these postage stamps. I also brought in some smaller dies: like the Lots of Letters mini dies, and the SWAK postage heart dies. For the full tutorial, watch the video above.





I think you can see how much I just LOVE putting these together. I can’t wait to create more!

Hello! Today I have a charming Pink S’mores card to share. Watch the video below or on YouTube:













These new S’mores stamps are soooo cute! I loved creating this card using the Terrific Tickets die set and some coordinating stamps. The Christmas Washi stickers fit on these tickets!! I was so happy to find that out.

Fall Blend Designer Postage Stamps
By  on November 8, 2025  in Paper Crafting, Uncategorized   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have some Designer Postage Stamps with a beautiful (and unique) Fall Blend background. Watch the video below or on YouTube:













I love creating mini Postage Stamps, so today I created some and made them into mini cards. I used Distress Inks to blend the background in Antique Linen, Salvaged Patina, & Uncharted Mariner. Once I had the background inked, I put a stencil over the top and used the same colors once again. This creates a fun background for our postage stamps!






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





For this last postage stamp, I heat embossed some Distress Embossing Glaze over a mushroom stamp (from the Smokin’ Caterpillar stamp set). Next, I colored up some images and cut them out with the coordinating dies.





I used the Post Mark stamp set to add some postage details to each one, and added them to mini cards. I hope you’ll watch the video to see the details.

You R2 Cool

Hello! I’m excited to be sharing a new card and video with some sentiments that are out of this world! These go well with some Limited Edition products from Miss Ink Stamps (that you can’t get right now, but hopefully you picked them up while you could!)





Watch the video below or on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





The new stamp set is a Sentiment set, and here I share one of them, but if you check out my video you can see all the sentiments included, and see what i stamped on the INSIDE of the cards, too!





This was a fun one to make, with four galaxy mini squares scenes. I hope you enjoy the process video!
