Big Sentiment Christmas

I did a whole suite of coordinating cards using a big sentiment as my focal point! I pulled the Heartwarming Hugs DSP and couldn’t decide which pattern to use. So I used them all!

I added a big sentiment from the Christmas Means More and Everything Festive stamp sets.

Finally, I added some random embellishments from my stash. Easy peasy!

Merry and Bright

Today’s card inspiration comes from this card from Cindy Elam @ Heart’s Delight Cards. I love the card design so much that I CASEd the card for my Christmas! I love fun play of patterns between the DSP, washiest tape, and stamped images. Perfectly simply card for today!

Bats and Ghosts

Today’s card was sent to the other twin for Halloween. I am so glad that I kept the bat punch after it retired. They add the perfect finishing touch to a spooky card. I kept the rest of this card simple with a black and purple color palette. The addition of the silver glitter tape pulls the card together.

Slowly getting back into card making with a group of Halloween cards. Today’s card was made for Arthur’s Kindergarten teacher. I knew I wanted to feature the fun jack-o-lanterns from the Harvest Hellos stamp set. From there, I added a nice sentiment, some punched bats, and some retired DSP.
