Bear Hugs!

Hello! I’m excited to share a new release stamp set from Miss Ink Stamps. This one is called Bear Hugs and today I have created 2 cards.





I love this set, it reminds me of my Dad. Since it has almost been 1 year from the date he died, I REALLY loved working with this set. Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:













How cute are these sleepy bears?!

Handmade Candy Book
By  on November 15, 2021  in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! I am excited to share this project with you today….we are making Candy Books from cardstock! Remember those lifesaver books that made an appearance this time of year? Well, that’s kinda the idea with this project.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I have a video with ALL the details of how to make this, watch it here or in HD on YouTube:













For the front cover I created a book jacket with silver vellum (I love this stuff!). I heat embossed the stamp from “All I Want for Christmas” on the vellum and I really love how it turned out.





For the inside, I stamped in red and green using the Tough Nut to Crack stamp set.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





On the spine, I added some details with stamps and glitter tape. I love the font of the scripty “Jingle all the way.”






		
		
			
			
		
	





For the back of the book, I wanted some interesting texture, so I used the Damask stamp to clear heat emboss a design.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I have a few other ideas for the book front cover, too. You could easily change out this book jacket cover for a stenciled front cover. Here’s my favorites from the newest Maker Forte release:






		
		
			
			
		
	
Stencil this one up in reds and greens for a festive look!






		
		
			
			
		
	
A pretty Poinsettia!






		
		
			
			
		
	
Make them all have red glittery noses…or just one!





I hope you enjoyed these projects today…these are definitely favorites of mine!

It’s Pumpkin Time!

Hello, I am so happy that it’s pumpkin time…I have a pumpkin patch card to share with you today. I’m using some new stencils from Miss Ink Stamps with some of my favorite stamp sets!





Watch the short video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I have an ALL-TIME favorite pumpkin dessert that is only available this time of year. It is from Vito’s Italian Restaurant and is called Pumpkin Crunch Cake. It is so so good! I’ve tried to re-create it several times with no luck. So I just have to settle for eating it while it’s available this month only! I couldn’t stop thinking about it while creating this card.





For the background, I added some glitter gel (I love a bit of glitter on my card!) I share all the details in the video!
