Hello, today I am up at the Maker Forte blog HERE with some sweet little reindeer cards!
If you want more details, be sure to visit their blog. But I will share the video and some photos here!
How cute are these? There’s absolutely NO fussy cutting or masking involved! I think that’s an absolute plus when you’re working with small images like these.
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!
I hope you enjoyed these tricks (like turning the word YOU into the word JOY!) Thanks for stopping by today!
Hello! Today I have some holiday projects featuring Starlight Mints! I love this slimline stencil from the Hedgehog Hollow September Kit, and I couldn’t stop making with it. So today I have 3 cards and 2 gift tags for you!

I hope you loved these projects today! I’ll be back with more cards soon!
Hello! Today I’m taking a forest background stamp and turning it into a SNOWY background stamp. I love that this background stamp from Miss Ink Stamps is so versatile. The “river” could also become a “pathway” and you can color it for any season.
Today I”m making it winter, with snow all around. I have a video to show you how I did this, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I added lots of glitter to make it glisten in the sun! This was a delight to color. I hope you enjoyed!
Hello! Today I have a fun card inspired by my neighbor’s holiday decorations. This year they have gone all out with lights, lawn decorations, and blow-up characters. It’s fun to see!
That is what gave me the idea to create a Holiday House on a card.
This house is decked out with glittery lights, Christmas trees in candy cane pots, a holiday wreath and door frame decor, and even a holiday welcome mat. The porch light has been changed to green…and I think whoever lives here just loves this time of year!
I had a great time putting this together and it made me feel a little better to create a decorated home on a card since we didn’t put up any Christmas lights this year! We wanted to, of course, but work and other things got in the way until (I thought) it was just too late to pull out all the lights.
I have a video to show you all the fun, watch it below or on YouTube:

Did you decorate for the holidays this year? We DID decorate inside with our tree, ornaments, and stockings for all the kids and grandkids….it’s just OUTSIDE that looks a little grinch-ish. Lol.

Wishing you a very happy holiday season. I hope you feel so much love this time of year, whatever your traditions and decorations are. See you soon with more inspiration.
Hello! I have a great new tool for the craft studio to share today. You might think this is a kitchen item, but today it is working GREAT on a card or two! It’s Freezer paper…a little trick I learned in a recent class from Altenew.
For my cards, I first die cut some snowflakes out of the freezer paper. Then I ironed them onto the paper with a warm iron. Then I did a little ink blending with my new favorite blending tool.

I splattered the background with more ink, and some pearl watercolors. Then I carefully removed the snowflakes…and look at those beautiful white snowflakes left behind!
The “Merry” sentiment is die cut from glitter paper, and added along with a silver foil frame. What an awesome technique! Who would’ve thought to use freezer paper? I love this and think it might even work better than masking paper.
I have a quick video to show you on how to do this, watch below or on YouTube:
Of course, once I removed the snowflakes (cut from the freezer paper), I couldn’t let them go to waste! So I made a second card on Neenah Desert Storm paper. I was interested to see if I could get them to still iron-on to this second card. Did it work?…yes and no. Lol.
Most of them DID iron back on, but I had one problem snowflake. So what did I do?! I used a little liquid adhesive and Nuvo drops to help keep it stuck down!! Lol. There’s more than one way to make a card work.
I added some extra Nuvo drops and white gel pen to this one, to finish it off. Which one do you like better?

I absolutely love these colors for a holiday card. Thanks for stopping by!
