Happy Sunday! It’s been awhile since, I last wrote a blog post so let me catch you up what has been going on. It’s been very busy around here with prepping and hosting two classes and a team meeting. Honestly, last Sunday night, I was so exchausted that I had to relax on the couch watching some Hallmark Christmas shows. I have spent this week catching up on relaxing and working behind the scenes in my studio.
A week ago, in our Crafty Session Facebook LIve, we created a card with the Merriest Tree Bundle that you can find in the Sept to Dec catalogue. I’m excited to say that this stamp set and die is carrying over into another publication in 2024. But, it won’t be bundle, so now is the time to order it while you can save 10% off till Jan 3.
While I was scrolling social media, I saw a sketch with a tag layout and thought it would work perfect for my card. The neat thing about the Merriest Tree stamp set and dies, you can cut out 5 different sizes of trees, that way you can customize your own projects.

Happy Sunday! Hope you had a great weekend! It’s been a fun one around here. Yesterday, I participated in Onstage at Home Virtual event, and OMG it was amazing! We saw the new Jan to April 2024 catalogue and the new items that will be available during Sale-a-Bratoin! Let’s me tell you, it’s amazing and I can’t wait to share all the new products with you! Then I spend the rest of the weekend, prepping for 3 big classes that I have next week, and I’m so happy to say that we are prepped and ready to go!!
Last week, in our Crafty Session, we focus on the new Festive and Fun stamp set that you can purchase from the Sept to Dec 2023 Mini catalogue. If you love adorable animals and love to colour, then this stamp set if for you!
I saw this card on the Stampin’ Through the Catalogue page on Instagram and knew that I had to recreate it. I love how they paired the More Wishes stamp set for the bold greeting on along the side! My images were coloured with Watercolour pencils which I haven’t used in along time!

When I sat down last month to create my cards for my Christmas card class, I knew that I wanted to use the Festive and Fun stamp set.

One of my favourite things to get each month is the Paper Pumpkin Kit. These kits are created for us to have a fun time of crafting! Each box is filled with all the supplies you need to create the projects. I love working on my kit each month with my team during our Stamp and Sip Zoom session each month, it’s a fun way to relax, and unwind after a busy day!
Light up the Christmas season with this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit! With traditional Christmas home designs and warm Christmas wishes, spread the light of Christmas with a gift box. Plus, you can get the Warm Wishes Cards & Envelopes Add-On to take your Christmas crafting even further (available while supplies last).
If you are Paper Pumpkin Subscriber, you can add these More Wishes cards and envelopes to your order. Not a subscriber, not to worry, you can sign up before Nov 10th to receive this kit and add these cards/envelopes (while supplies) to your order.
Now is a great time to get a Paper Pumpkin Subscription for yourself or give as a gift. They make the perfect gift for that crafty person on your list! That includes you too!! You can get one month, three months, six months or 12 months subscription. It’s the gift that keeps giving all year long!
Each month, these kits are amazing and I love the surprise element it has when it comes in!
Hope you are having a great start to your week! I’m hoping for a not so crazy busy week with a little more downtime at night!

Happy Sunday! Hope you are having a great day and that you find some time for yourself today! Here in Ontario, our clocks went back an hour so now we have an extra hour for sleep and to accomplish things during the day!
I‘m spending the day in my room, working on my to do list and prepping projects for upcoming events while I listen to Christmas music! What a relaxing way to spend the day!
This week in our Crafty Session Facebook Live on Wednesday night, we created cards using the Stack and Shuffle Technique. I had seen this technique on social media and thought I had to give it a try. OMG, it’s so easy and what a great way to create multiple cards for different occasions at once.
So the idea with the Stack and Shuffle technique is that you stack three pieces of pattern papers together, and then you make 2 cuts into the pattern paper which creates the three layers for your Stack and Shuffle.
I thought I would show one of the cards close up so you can see the three different sections of pattern papers. I love how frosty and wintry this card looks!

Isn’t that a cool technique? I definitely will be using this again to create some different all occasions cards like birthday, and thank you!
Measurements and Supplies for my cards:
Winter Meadows Designers Series Paper – 3 3/4″ by 5″ – you need three different patterns
Basic White Cardstock Base – 4 1/4″ by 11″ score at 5 1/2″
Lost Lagoon Card stock layers – 4″ by 5 1/4″
Stylish Shape Dies
Stamp and Cut Emboss Machine
Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock Ink Pads
Loose Holly Gems
On my video, I shared another way to use this technique with the Garden Walk Designer Series Paper and More Wishes stamp set. I wanted to create some For You cards to give to family and friends. I used the same measurements as above, I switched out the pattern paper and the cardstock colours.
Aren’t those colours gorgeous together? My colour combination is Pretty Peacock, Poppy Parade, Basic White and Calypso Coral.
