Hello! Today I have a beautiful Christmas Cakes Card set and video to share! I love a hot foiled background with a glittery cake, so today I decided I could create that on a card.
There’s only 12 days to Christmas and I’m celebrating with Crafty Meraki! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:
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.

I hope you’ll stop by to see the video! Happy Holidays!
I started out with the Flower Fest stamp set, but if you don’t like coloring or want an easy SHORTCUT, try the Flower Fest Effortless Artistry Paper! The EAP is already colored for you and all you have to do is use the coordinating die to cut them all out! (I’ve linked both below for you to check out).
I arranged my favorite flowers around a Glitter cardstock cut to A2 card size (4 1/4 x 5 1/2). Then I used a sentiment from the Gilded Expressions stamp set. There is also a coordinating die set for this so I can cut out ALL of the sentiments at once. I love this!
If you want FOILED sentiments, check out the Gilded Expressions Effortless Shimmer paper…where you can foil the sentiments, and cut them with the coordinating die!

Hello! Today I’m sharing a video with the Festive Flora Wreath EAP from Crafty Meraki. This is the neatest paper…and perfect for a quick card or for when you don’t feel like coloring!
For the background I dry embossed the Craft-A-Round mini slimline die onto the background (after I had ink blended with Distress Oxide ink). It makes such a pretty soft texture!
I cut the wreath and all the sentiments at once from the Effortless Artistry Paper using the Coordinating die. It’s such a time saver!
I used a portion of the wreath on the bottom left and top right of the card panel. It’s a great way to create a different look!
I chose the sentiment “Warm Wishes” because it sure is warm here today (111 degrees!) and I thought it was appropriate. Lol. I finished off the card with the beautiful Fern Dew Drops.

Hello! Today I have a fun video with some die-cutting techniques for Crafty a Pansy. I love pansies, my grandmother loved pansies, my Dad loved pansies…and these cards are dedicated to my memory of them!
I am also using some “leftover foil” to create the backgrounds of these cards. The shine and the shimmer from the foil and the Mica Spray really make them pop!

Hello! Today I have some Quick Holiday cards to share in my latest video. This is a part of a video hop with prizes, so be sure to check out the video description for how to enter to win!
These cards are so easy to put together with these new Effortless Artistry Papers and Coordinating Dies.
Card 1. Fa La La
For the first card I started out with some music paper for the background and added some White Gesso around the edges. Once that was dry I edged the entire panel with Rustic Wilderness ink and added some Stickles Moon Dust glitter through the Shape Shifters Stencil.
See the glitter?
Then I added the images and sentiment cut from the Effortless Artistry Paper! Voila! A very quick holiday card!
Card 2. Merry Christmas with Wreath
For the second card, I inked the background with Evergreen Bough Distress ink, and the same color with the leaves stencil. I then shifted the stencil and added some Stickles Glitter Moon Dust through the leaves stencil.
I added portions of the wreath to the upper right and lower left corner of the panel and then added the sentiment! For extra sparkle, I added some Gold Illusion Meraki Sparkle (gems) to the berries. So pretty!
