Crackerbox Stamps - Hogwarts Magic


There's a new release at Crackerbox Stamps featuring Harry Potter and Minion in clear photopolymer!

To celebrate, all Minion and Harry Potter rubber stamps are 20% off! There's also a giveaway on Instagram!  Check out my recent IG post or Crackerbox Stamps for full details on how to win.


For my first card, featuring Harry, I sponged a piece of PTI Pure Poppy cardstock with Distress Ink Aged Mahagony.  I colored up Harry along with his quidditch supplies for a rather clear masculine card.


For the second card featuring Hermione, I hot foiled a piece of designer paper with gold stars for the background.  I then heat embossed a magic tome on a Pure Poppy/Aged Mahogany panel.

ATSM #474 - Any Occasion


My card for the latest Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #474 Any Occasion is a redo of sorts.


Waaaaay back in 2015, I created a mixed media tag using this tree but never got around to using the tag so decided to make it into a card and send it out this year.  

I used a stencil to create a hill, stamped the deer, then popped the tree in front along with an embossed sentiment. 


I've listed the products used below. See the original tree tag post for full ingredients used in making the tree.
  • Memory Box Frosted Christmas Tree
  • Julie Hickey Designs Essentially Christmas #2
  • Taylored Expressions Simple Strips Christmas & Dies
  • Lawn Fawn Slimline Hillside Stencils
  • Distress Oxide Salvaged Patina

SOSS #253 - S for Summer


My god, I love this card so much. LOL.  Cute and funny!  And absolutely perfect for the latest Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #253 Summer.


I get recipes online a lot so styled my card front around that. Plus, it's a play on words--well, punctuation--and for a word-lover like myself, you can't get much better than that.

ATCAS #264 - Beach


Beach, please come join us for the latest Addicted to CAS Challenge.


I repurposed the Santa and his drink from a gift set that I had made when I was on the Doodlebugs Design DT.  The M&Ms might have gotten repurposed . . . in my mouth.

I created a simple backdrop using a stencil/mask and LF Palm Tree Border. Cuter than cute!

CAS on Friday #289 - White/Creme Plus Two Colors


This fortnight's CAS on Friday Challenge asks for Two Colors plus White or Cream.  I encourage you to take a look at the design team's cards.  Really interesting takes on this one!

I used blue and gray with white for my card.  I don't count skin but I guess that could be cream?

In any case, I love and miss Birdie Brown images so much.  This is one of my favorite holiday sets that I've used periodically through the years.

Winter Snowball Machine


I was inspired by the latest Lawn Fawn #177 Christmas in July Challenge to create this cute holiday/winter card.

I haven't made a shaker in a while and was reminded why when a bunch of glitter hit me in the face because I had forgotten to turn the room fan off.  So very me and so very glamorous!
