Felt Carolers Technique

Did you see my felt "Carolers" technique in the November Paper Crafts issue?  This project was fun to do because it was a collaborative effort between myself and Associate Creative Editor, Megan Hoeppner.

Details are in the issue so pick up a copy and give it a try!

The issue is also available on-line here.

PS - Totally off topic, but I can't wait for the kids Halloween candy to be gone.  I just inhaled three fun-size Snickers bars!

More Triangle Trees!

I wish I knew what it was about triangle trees that makes me love them so.

This is a card using the "Playful Christmas" set by Kitchen Sink Stamps.  I fell in love with this set right away and had to have it :)

PS - Thank you all for the kind congratulations on my cover card.  It was nice to be able to celebrate with my stamping friends :)

Karen Foster Mini Christmas Charms

I just wanted to share these super cute charms by Karen Foster that look awesome with the oval image in the "Flourished Elements" set by Flourishes. They are really inexpensive :)

Here's the card I made - "Rejoice by Flourishes"

Have a great day!

new justjohanna holiday images!

I'm so happy to be able to share the new justjohanna holiday images with you :)  Johanna has the holiday supplement up on her website and you can click here to see it.  The stamps are available for purchase in the store (here), however the images are not uploaded for the shopping cart yet, so utilize the holiday supplement download and order the images by name.

Your going to love the new images :)  Lots of them are based on the "12 Days of Christmas" and she even has the sentiment "my true love gave to me" which I think is fabulous!

Here's a card using one of my favorite images "Clothesline Tree".

PS - Stop by the justjohanna gallery to see more cards made with the new holiday images :)

I'm a Covergirl!

Wow! Can you believe it?  My card is on the cover of Paper Crafts Holiday Cards & More Vol. 2! 

Check out the cover here!

I have to send out some cyber hugs to my friend Doreen and my mom, who at stamp club nights would tell me I should submit my work to publications.  Love you guys :)

This is a picture of the card.  The trees and stars are made out of American Crafts wrapping paper. Isn't that totally fun!  I just stamped the triangle image with Versamark on the back of the paper (so the ink didn't show through, that stuff is thin!) and carefully cut them out. 

Hope you like the card and thanks for visiting!
