Hi everyone! A peek at what I made with this collection for the Spellbinders Paper Arts Blog HERE.
Three Cards with this new collection. You’re going to love it!!! All the things….stamps, dies, embossing folders and stencils!
Thank you so much for stopping by and you know I appreciate you looking, sharing and commenting!
oh happy day, I mean bird! So cute and festive on the snowy log! I love making Christmas cards with foliage, greenery and brown elements.
The Happy Dance Bird and Merry Christmas Stylish Script dies are from the newest Memory Box release. I die cut the bird in white and inked in some blue oxides and then a little gathered twigs too.
The background panel I embossed with the Pinecone and Berries 3D embossing folder in white cardstock. The colors really pop against embossed white!
I used a bunch of other dies but you could easy use whatever you have. This birdie could stand on about anything! Maybe even be a tree topper! lol
Notice the little dots of white on the berries…it’s the new White Contour tube that Cindy from Starlitstudio sent me to try! WOW! It’s the best white of any so far and there’s sure been a lot. It makes the best dots down to this teeny tiny easy! I’m so impressed! I’m getting the gold next. hehe
I took a bunch of pictures, posting several because the lighting shows some things better.
The Snowy Log is one of my favorite accessory type dies and so easy to make up too! The wood grain happens when you die cut it! No extra step to achieve it! yay!
Pine Branches and Pinecone Duo dies for the pine elements.
Festive Holly for the greenery elements.
So cute! This bird has personality and sure to bring a smile to the receiver!
The white panel is A2 size but I wanted some of the card base to show so it’s going to need an A6 or A7 envelope to mail. It shouldn’t need any extra postage.
I’m going to link my card to some challenge blogs…

p.s. the last four dies in the grid are from the new release. I don’t have them to use but I think they would work with the bird too.

Hi everyone! Back to stamping and color pencil coloring. Fall images are so fun to color! Bring on the brown, orange, green and gold!
I used the NEW Pumpkin Blessings stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and the STAMPtember release. I said this on my last SSS post and here I am saying it again. I love how Simon Says Stamp stamps stamp! I used the MISTI. Stamping is so sharp/crisp!
There are dies to go with the stamp set and they’re detabbed! I don’t have them but you have the choice to order the combo or the stamps just by themself.
I used a Simon Says Stamp embossing folder, Margot Tile. Then just a light touch of ink blending over it with Gathered Twigs Distress ink.
Several options for sentiments in the set!
Have you checked out the release? AND everyday there is a new release of collaborations! So fun! What do you think? I’ve ordered one day so far but the temptation! lol
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today!

Wishing you a warm birthday card… So much potential for this set for any occasion! Make it flakey!
Once again I was inspired by a gal on instagram….I’ll link to her on my post there.
The NEW Tim Holtz Sidekick Side-Order set, thinlets dies and a texture fades embossing folder.
I embossed the folder, trimmed it down, inked it with some Gathered Twigs distress ink and glued it directly to a white Hammermill cardbase.
I die cut the sentiment from Tim Holtz Thin, Sentiment Words die set. I used scor-tape on the back so I could just insert the blue letters back in. I can’t find this set to link to.
Die cut the mugs, steam and snowflakes. The snowflakes are from the Tim Holtz Twig and Stump die set. I can’t find this set to link to. I used the super thin mounting tape I love so much, on the mugs! It’s sticky so I use the scissors I’ll link below.
So fun…you could easy just use paper scraps and come up with all kinds of designs for all seasons!
Linking my card to some challenges…
Seize the Birthday – Anything goes
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – anything goes

Hi everyone! A little bit festive still this month. I didn’t want to post these until they were received!
For this first card I was totally inspired by a gal on Instagram. I’ll link to her over there. Link to my grid in the right sidebar under the follow option.
I used some new Tim Holtz dies and a stamp set for the sentiment. I’ll link below.
Soooo CUTE! I love this guy…I picture him singing loud and clear for all to hear! lol
My second card is The Greeting Farm Holiday Anya for Christmas 2024. I alway love these and collect them for myself and our granddaughter Anya.
I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copics.
I cut them out with the Scan n Cut. I prefer buying dies but if there aren’t dies to coordinate I love using the Scan n Cut. I purchased mine several years ago, right before they came out with the new, quiet one! haha I sure love the thing though… I’ve had really good luck with it!
She’s so cute and I love the other images that came in the set also! So much fun to color and easy to color too!
My pictures turned out good this time so I’m just gonna load them all into the post! lol
one more…
I linked her to the Four Seasons Winter January Challenge….
I hope you are all having a beautiful January start to 2025! Gotta remember to write and type that right!
