Why is 6 Afraid of 7?


Hello crafty friends! Today I have a bit of a different card for you. My mom, sister and I try to make a box of card for Cards for Hospitalized Kids every few months. We also donate to various card drives like the Caring Hearts Card Drive and Operation Write Home. Today my cards are for the kiddos though. I was inspired by the Lawnscaping Count Me In challenge to use numbers. When I was thinking about numbers this silly joke popped into my head and I thought why not create a card around a joke. The idea of the cards is to make the kids smile so it would be perfect. Please see my video below for tips on how to make mass production work for you when you want to bust some stash and make a group of cards in one go.

All Hearts Come Home for Christmas



Hello Crafty Friends! Today I have a card for the latest Inky Paws challenge. Check out the video below for more on how I made this card.


I was so happy to use one of my personal favorites Sweetheart Tails for a Christmas card. The raccoon paired perfectly with the sentiment from Winston's Home for Christmas.

Merry Christmas


Hello crafty friends! Today I have a card where I challenged myself to use the WPlus9 Handlettered Holiday Dies in a new way. I've already used the die in the most basic way in one post and I used it as an embellishment in another post but today I will be using it as a mask. You can watch the video for more on my process.


I decided to use the WPlus9 Handlettered Holiday Dies without the coordinating stamp set. I thought it would be nice to show you how you could get great use out of it without investing in both. I used the Lawn Fawn Joy to the Woods stamps and dies. For this card I decided to mix it up by coloring on the kraft paper. 


I combined red and kraft for a simple color scheme. I love kraft at Christmas time.  To get a polished clean look I used Multi Medium Matte as the adhesive on my die cuts.
