Well, it has been a snowy January in St. Louis and even though parts of St. Louis got well over 12″ of snow, it is not as snowy as the Blizzard of 1978. I was not living here at the time and I have no idea who took this photo, but apparently school was cancelled for two weeks. That was well before E-Learning.
Now the photo below is of my backyard when we got snow a few weeks ago. This was from the morning, but it continued to snow all day. Lots of shoveling, but then again, lots of exercise. It has been pretty cold here but not as cold as the winter of 1884 when the all time low temperature in St. Louis was -22! Burr, now that is cold.
And now today’s card with a much warmer scenery!
I started with an 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock that I folded in half to create my card. I then cut a 4 x 5-1/4 piece of the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series paper and attach to the card front. This paper is so soft and elegant. I then stamped my greeting from Kindest Expressions with Misty Moonlight ink. This was a super simple card, but it looks so comforting.
Hey friends, I know it has been a minute since my last video. Thanks for your patience. Today, I am excited to share the first video in my three part series 12 x 12 One Sheet Wonder. You will learn how to create 8 fantastic cards. Join me next Monday for part 2. Be sure to download your free project sheet below for details on how to create today’s cards.
Happy Monday all. It is so hard to believe we are half way through December. I already had this Make It Monday video recorded before my dad passed away. I also had my Weekly Wednesday video recorded, so I am sharing those with you this week and then I will not be back until after the New Year. I do hope you all have a blessed Christmas and enjoy spending time with family!
Merry Christmas and may God Bless you all with health and happiness. Feel free to stop back on Wednesday for my last video of 2024. Until next year-Be Blessed!CLICK HERE or the image below if the video does not appear-still haven’t figured out that one.
Happy Wednesday all. Today I am excited to share with you a fun fold using one piece of 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and three scores. We are creating a nail file holder that is perfect for a stocking stuffer or a small gift for co-workers. I am planning to sell them at a craft fair this month, so I will be making a few more. They are super fast and easy. Check out the video below.

Project Supplies
3 x 6 piece of designer series paper
Bone Folder
Liquid Glue or Tear and Tape
Greetings of the Season Stamp Set
Dies from Unbounded Love
Scrap of Basic White and Cherry Cobbler for tag
Gold pearl bling
Cherry Cobbler Ink
This project is super simple, just score at 7/8″ on each side of 3 x 6 DSP, and at 1/4 on the bottom. If you have directional paper be sure it is facing the correct way before making your bottom score. See video for details on angle top folds.
I love that you can get two holders out of one sheet of 6 x 6 DSP. Have fun dressing up these folders with some fun Christmas tags and bling. Let me know if the comments if this is a project you will be making. Happy Stamping!

Sorry my title might be a little misleading, no Stampin’ Up! is not giving away a free stamp, I wish. The “Free Stamp” is actually a sculpture in Cleveland, Ohio that weighs about 35 tons and is considered the largest stamp in the world. Try taking that one to your next crop or stamping event. LOL
Oldenburg is on record as saying that “free,” references the emancipation of American slaves during and after the Civil War—a plausible explanation given the piece’s planned proximity to the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument. Who knew? If you are ever in Cleveland, Ohio, it might be a good place to visit.
Today’s card was created using the Wildly Wheat designer series paper and the Unbounded Love Bundle. If you have not had a chance to check out this bundle, it is amazing.
I started with a Blackberry Bliss card base and added a 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Wildly Wheat DSP to the card front. I then added a 1 x 4′ strip of Boho Blossom to the card front. On both sides of the Boho Blossom I attached a 1/4 x 4″ strip of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. The greeting is from Unbounded Love and stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink. I also used the dies from this bundle to crop the greeting and the accent piece. Add a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and decorate as desired.
I cannot believe that it is already November. Time to start brewing up some holiday crafting ideas. Stop back next week for some holiday crafting inspiration. Happy Stamping!

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. What a beautiful weekend here in St. Louis. My heart goes out to all affected by Helene! About 30 years ago our garage and basement flooded. What a mess, but nothing compared to our friends in Florida. I can only imagine the valley of emotions as you begin recovery and clean up. Our prayers are certainly with you.
For those of you more inland, hopefully you had a chance to get into you craft room for a bit of creating. Today, I am excited to share with you the Stack, Slice, and Shuffle technique to create three…..well perhaps six cards. Stay tuned this week to see the other three.
Did you know that 80 is the new 65? While I am not sure if that is a fact, it seems to be thing. Maybe it is because a lot of the Baby Boomers are turning 65! LOL It is that time again in the month when I go to visit my senior friends at Mother of Good Counsel Home.
Seriously though, did you know that many senior living communities can feel like neighborhood and living in senior living communities can prevent social isolation. That’s a good thing! Don’t worry about taking your beloved dog or cat because many of the communities are pet friendly. If that is not great enough many seniors can keep their independence and go on scheduled outing where transportation is provided. It’s like having your own chauffer. They even have fun classes like card-making. And here are the cards we are making today.
Card #1
Fun and Bright Colors -Lemon Lime Twist and Peach Pie
Use your favorite designer series patterned paper to create this card. I cut three strips that measure 3-3/4 x 1-1/2 and layered them on a 4 x 5-1/4 panel of Peach Pie. The greeting is from Sweetly Scripted and stamped on a strip of white-1 x 5 1/2.
Card #2
Soft and Subtle Retired Wisteria Wonder-try Highland Heather!
I just love the look of a monochromatic card, don’t you. The flower in this image is from a retired set, Calming Camellia and I also used some Wisteria Wonder ink and retired designer series paper. You can use any colors and patterns that you have on hand. I started with a Basic White card, add a 4 x 5-1/4 panel of Wisteria Wonder. The Basic White panel or the flower and greeting measures 2-3/4 x 4 and the patterned paper measures 3 x 4.
Card #3
Elegant Flower-Retired Rococo Rose and Pistachio Pudding
For my final card I again began with a Basic White card and added a 4×5-1/4 layer of Rococo Rose. I stamped the flower in Rococo and the leaves with Pistachio Pudding ink, both retired on a 3 x 5 Basic White panel. Remember I tend to use my retired stash for my senior friends.
I hope you enjoy today’s cards, I am sure my senior friends will be thrilled. They are a special group and we have a lot of fun crafting together. If you know someone who is not able to get out much then I encourage you to send them a hand-stamped hug! Happy Stamping!
