This is the first Pink & Main craft kit I’ve used. It was a really fun kit to work with because of the bright and unique colors. On the whole, the color palette is quite non-traditional for a holiday / Christmas theme. I would expect mostly red, green, gold and maybe blue and silver.… Read the rest

F.L.I.P. – Tree-Themed Holiday / Christmas Cards
I’m giving Christmas card packs as gifts this year and my goal is to ship them out by Dec 1 so folks can actually use them this year if they want. I got a pretty big jump on things with my 40+ cards using the Spellbinders Merry Everything Kit, but I’ll definitely need more.… Read the rest
Create a Flip Card Using Any Shape Die
I’m a fan of the Sizzix Flip-It dies and I have several that I love to use. They are definitely an easy way to make an impressive card. However, I found myself wanting to make a Flip Card using a heart as the focal image. I don’t know if Sizzix has one, but I couldn’t wait to shop for a die.… Read the rest

F.L.I.P. Using Tonic Studios Craft Kit #33 – White Wonderland
I love everything that came in this craft kit! In fact, when I saw the unboxing, I knew I’d love it. It’s the first kit (from any brand) I’ve purchased at release instead of on sale way after the fact. LOL.
I’ll be making many more cards with this kit, but for now I have 4 cards – Flat, Layered, Interactive and Pop-up.… Read the rest
MEGA FLIP – 40+ Cards Using Spellbinders Merry Everything Card Kit
I did a MEGA FLIP using Spellbinder’s amazing Merry Everything Card Kit. This kit has a LOT more than the standard monthly card kit. My goal was to use up as much of the kit contents as possible and I came pretty close to it!
In my FLIP showcase video, you’ll see 39 cards in a variety of styles – Flat, Layered, Interactive and Pop-Up.… Read the rest
Mini-Album – Carta Bella’s Flower Market Paper & Tonic Studios Life’s Journey Die Sets
I had so much fun creating this mini-album for my mother-in-law. I loved it so much, I almost wanted to keep it in the end. Rest assured, I did send it off to my MIL. 🙂 Check out my Mini Album Gallery for photos of this album (and others).
I did get my husband’s opinion a lot along the way.… Read the rest

The other day, I sat down to just play with some of my media supplies, and I thought it would be fun to create some cards.
