Happy Wednesday and welcome back to day # 4 in our 12 Days of Christmas series. I hope you are enjoying this series and gathering lots of ideas to create and share some holiday cheer. After all that is truly what crafting is all about right? If you are ever in the St. Louis area feel free to join us for an in-person stamping class, we do have a lot of fun!
We are finishing out this week with two more cards using the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks. If you wanted Day #3 then you already know how easy these masks are to use. If you missed that episode, no worries, click here. And now for day #4……
In addition to the Snowy Delights Decorative masks, this weeks cards also feature the Branching Out dies. I am not sure why I want to call them the in and out dies, but that is just stuck in my head, so I apologize if I call them the wrong thing in my videos. I also used greetings from Gathering Moments and Ornamental Christmas. All of these products are available for purchase through my online store, just click the shop with me button below. I so appreciate your support. Don’t forget to click the button below for your free project sheet with photos, supplies, measurements, and instructions on how to create these cards.
And of course, today is day # 4 and on the 4th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me four Hawaiian ukes, three finn hats, two tatoos, and a purple parrot in a palm tree! I know if you are not a Jimmy Buffet fan you will probably not appreciate this version of 12 days, but it is such a fun song! Happy Stamping!

Welcome back to my 12 Days of Christmas series. This week I am featuring the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks. Today is, day 3 of our series, click here if you missed day 2 featuring A Child Is Born. You can also access all of my videos on my YouTube channel. Click here to go to my channel. If you have not used any of Stampin’ Up!’s decorative masks, you are going to love them. These are so super easy to stack and create amazing snowflake images.
The first card was created using Balmy Blue and Night of Navy cardstock and ink. All you need for these gorgeous masks are a blending brush, some ink, and a little painters tape or some green tape to keep your cardstock and masks from shifting. See the video for more details.
My second card features Lost Lagoon and Basic Black cardstock and ink. Use all or just a few masks to create amazing snowflakes. Let your creativity soar. Don’t forget to download the free projects sheet with pictures, measurements, and instructions for today’s cards. And what do you think the third day of Christmas is???? Well, three finn hats of course. On the third day of Christmas My true love gave to me three finn hats, two tatoos, and a purple parrot in a palm tree. Join me on Wednesday for day 4. Happy Stamping!

Happy Monday my crafting friends. Today is day #1 of my 12 Days of Christmas Series. Each week I will feature a new product from the 2025 Holiday catalog. You will be able to find these videos on my YouTube Channel or just search my blog for Make It Monday videos, Weekly Wednesday video. I will create a new category, 12 Days of Christmas and I will also post them in the Christmas 2025 category. I am always excited to craft all things Christmas, so I am looking forward to sharing these projects with you. My hope is to have this series completed in enough time for you to order the products and reproduce any of the projects I am sharing with you in this series.
While I do love the traditional 12 days of Christmas song, my heart still belongs to Jimmy Buffet’s version. Soooooo, on that note: “On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me a Purple Parrot in a Palm Tree.”
I hope you enjoyed today’s projects. Stop back on Wednesday for Day# 2. Until than, Happy Stamping!

Hello my friends. I am so excited to share with you a way to create your own Designer Series Paper using the new Gathering Moments stamp set. First of all the paper that coordinates with this bundle is absolutely gorgeous, but I thought making our own can be fun too. When you create your own designer series paper, don’t be afraid to experiment with a variety of colors. Try creating a sheet with all one color. That would be fun too. Monochromatic is such a calming look.
I started with a Basis White 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock and randomly stamped the images from the Gathering Moments bundle as shown. The large leaf I stamped in Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. The smaller leaf is stamped with Garden Green. The berries are stamped with Cherry Cobbler and the acorn with Pecan Pie. I used Early Espresso to stamp the smaller veined leaf. Feel free to adds some splatter with Pecan Pie or Early Espresso ink. The You’re Remarkable and the Elements of Text are just a few of the sets that have some great splatter.
Today’s card features our Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler cardstock. The card base is a standard A2 size and measures 8-1/2 x 5 -1/2, scored at 4-1/4. I cut a piece of the newly created designer series paper to measures 3-3/4 x 5 and backed it with a 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 piece of Cherry Cobbler. The greeting is from Grateful Blessings. See video for tip on how to shorten the greeting. I stamped the sentiment with Early Espresso ink and cropped it with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch. I used that same punch to crop a Cherry Cobber hexagon and cut in half lengthwise to create a top and bottom border. Before adding the greeting to the card front, I put a strip of Cherry Cobbler 3/8 x 3-7/8 across the bottom of the card. Feel free to use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the greeting to your card front.
I hope you enjoyed today’s fall project. Join me on Monday for a new holiday series 12 Days of Christmas! Happy Stamping!

Have faith the size of a mustard seed.
Matthew’s gospel tells us that faith can move mountains. Today, Luke tells us that faith can uproot a tree and replant it in the sea. Jesus reminds us that even the smallest of faith is powerful. There is a reason Jesus chose the mustard seed. It is the tiniest of seeds. Today Jesus reminds us that our faith even if it is small, is powerful.
It is good that the apostles turned to Jesus for help to increase their faith. It shows humility and the need for our Lord. With God all things are possible. Without God we can do nothing. One of the first steps to increasing our faith is to humbly admit our lack of faith and our need for the Lord.
Don’t be confused, faith does bring about magical powers but through prayer, we can obtain holiness. Take some time today to reflect upon the prayer of the apostles: “Lord, Increase our faith.” Let us put aside our pride and humbly pray to our Lord for a renewed faith.
Oh loving Savior, increase our faith. Fill us with the Holy Spirit that we may lead others to Your glory. Remind us of your infinite Mercy. J
Jesus, I trust in You.
