🎁12 Days of Cards & Gifts - Day 8

 🎁 12 Days of Cards & Gifts - Day 8

Friends, Day 8 is all about connecting with others. I love that crafting can help us do that! First by getting together to chat and laugh as we work on projects. And then by making someone's day with the cards we send!

In case you're joining me for the first time, anyone who places an order with me of any amount during the 12 Days of Cards & Gifts will receive a FREE PDF with all the instructions for every card!

🎁 Day 8 Card

Today my daughter and I are invited to go see a friend and have hot cocoa. So this card suggested itself! It's made with the terrific More than Autumn Stamp Set & Dies. Bonus - both are on big discount on the Last Chance List! Who might you connect with this holiday season?

🎁12 Days of Cards & Gifts - Day 7

  🎁 12 Days of Cards & Gifts - Day 7

Hello, Day 7! Our landscape is looking wintry, so it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, to quote the song! I hope you're enjoying the weather where you are as well.

In case you're joining me for the first time, anyone who places an order with me of any amount during the 12 Days of Cards & Gifts will receive a FREE PDF with all the instructions for every card!

🎁 Day 7 Card

Today's card presents an easy yet elegant take on the nativity scene. Rather than colouring in the image, all I did was stamp it in a single colour! It's great for making multiples. The stamp set is called A Child Is Born, and it's now on discount on the Last Chance List.

A sample kit is pictured above. But there are lots more! And even better, there's a FREE Shipping promotion on Dec 11 & 12! (Details below)

🎁 12 Days of Cards & Gifts - Day 5

Welcome to Day 5! Has it snowed yet where you are? We don't usually get snow this early in southwestern New Brunswick, but we've had a couple of snowfalls thus far. It definitely makes the holiday season feel more real this year!

In case you're joining me for the first time, anyone who places an order with me of any amount during the 12 Days of Cards & Gifts will receive a FREE PDF with all the instructions for every card!

🎁 Day 5 Card

Today's project is SUPER simple to put together. See all those die cuts? They're actually all pre-perforated for you, so all you have to do is punch them out with your fingers! I love that Stampin' Up!® has started including die cuts like these with some of their paper packs. Bonus, the North Pole Delivery paper I used is on sale on the Last Chance List!

🎁 12 Days of Cards & Gifts - Day 4

   🎁 12 Days of Cards & Gifts - Day 4

Here we are at Day 4! Today I'm sharing one of my favourite cards I've ever made. (I think you'll see why!) And for a gift idea we'll be looking at gorgeous paper.

In case you're joining me for the first time, anyone who places an order with me of any amount during the 12 Days of Cards & Gifts will receive a FREE PDF with all the instructions for every card!


🎁 Day 4 Card

Today's card is the most spectacular one I've made in a long time. It uses the Light & Wonder stamp set and dies, which are fabulous on their own. (Tip: they're both on the Last Chance List, so get them while you can!) Then add in the gorgeous Lights of Aurora paper, and you get something really special! I love that the sentiment can be used any time of year.

🎁Day 4 Gift Idea

Got a crafty friend? Or want this under your own tree? This paper is the stunning Lights of Aurora DSP. It comes in 6" x 6" format. Right on time for when many across the continent have just seen the Northern Lights!

🎁12 Days of Cards & Gifts - Day 3

   🎁 12 Days of Cards & Gifts - Day 3

Thanks for checking out Day 3! Today we've got a lovely sacred-themed card, perfect for Sunday! And our gift idea today is a way to get a great item for a lot less! 

In case you're joining me for the first time, anyone who places an order with me of any amount during the 12 Days of Cards & Gifts will receive a FREE PDF with all the instructions for every card!

🎁 Day 3 Card

Today's card could be given as a holiday greeting. But it could also express get-well wishes, sympathy or care at any time of year. With the opening in the middle of the card, it's a complicated-looking design. However, it's actually really easy to make!


🎁Day 3 Gift Idea

How about a paper hug in a box? That's what you get with a subscription to Paper Pumpkin! These all-inclusive kits have everything you need to make all the projects, so no need to have tons of equipment or supplies. Great for busy or new crafters, and people without a lot of space!

Plus they're on sale until December 9th!
