I am amazed at how quickly Monday’s roll around but creating these videos really is one of the highlights of my week. Sometimes the ideas come super easy and other times, yes, I have to admit I am on the struggle bus and that’s okay because we cannot always predict when our creative juices will flow. So when they do, create, create, create!

Don’t you just love how a single act of kindness changes everything? I think that is one of my favorite things about the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. It calls us to be more mindful of how we treat others and to be grateful for the blessing we have instead of focusing on what we don’t have or even worse on what others have. It keeps us humble and focused on the present moment of joy and happiness, which can ultimately lead to peace, at least peace of heart.
Today my card focuses on that very kindness. I again used the watercolor background technique to create my own designer series paper if you will to cut out the Handcrafted Elements Dies. I added this sweet die to a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock. I used Highland Heather cardstock for my card base and border for the greeting. I think the Highland Heather pairs perfectly with my watercolor background die.
The greeting, from Timeless Arrangements, is stamped with Highland Heather ink and the little flower/leaf die is cut from the same watercolor background paper that I created. Of course I just had to add a few rhinestone bling but feel free to decorate as much or little as you like.
Thank you all for being such loyal followers. I hope you have fun creating many different cards this holiday season. Happy Stamping!

Handcrafted Elements Dies SALE-$34.20 retiring soon
I am having more fun playing with our Handcrafted Element Dies. Don’t forget these beauties are on sale. Click here for our Last Chance product sale! Please note all products are while supplies last. I decided to use a Basic Black card base and added a layer of Poppy Parade. I again cut my die from the watercolor background that I created and added it to another black layer.
I used a corner rounder on my second layer of black to add a more elegant look. The thanks is stamped with Memento Black and is from Artistically Inked. I added just a bit of bling to finish off my card. I believe the rhinestones that I used are retired and that is okay because I am sure you have plenty of bling in your crafting stash. Right? Have fun creating-Happy Stamping!

The days are definitely getting shorter and one of the most wonderful things about a clear cold winter’s night is the beauty of all the stars. The O Holy Night Designer Series Paper pack pairs perfectly with the Night Divine stamp set to create a starry night card just in time for the holidays!
I began with a Basic White card base and let the designer series paper do all the work. I added a layer of the starry paper to the card front and stamped the greeting from Night Divine with Night of Navy ink on a 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 piece of Basic White cardstock. I added the greeting to a 2-3/8 x 2-3/8 panel of Night of Navy CS and attached it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Tis the season for joy and peace. I hope you all had a relaxing Thanksgiving holiday. Although we are still in November, there are only 27 days until Christmas! Don’t forget that going on right now is our Last Chance sale…..and so Black Friday continues. LOL
Our card today features the Handcrafted Elements Dies and the Night Divine stamp set. I began with a Blueberry Bushel card base and added a layer of Basic White. The ornament die was cropped with soft shimmer specialty paper and the greeting from the Night Divine stamp set is heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The Night Divine stamp set is on the Last Chance list. Get yours today while supplies last.
