How cute is this white tiger? I love white tigers- they are so beautiful!
I stamped the tiger with Versamark on Basic White and embossed him with silver embossing powder.
The circle behind the tiger is one of the new dies, the Everyday Details dies. Page 28 of the mini.
I embossed with the Cheery Patterns Embossing folders. When I made the card, the Cheery was still available. It’s not anymore. Sorry about that, but lots of embossing folders would work!
I stamped “happy birthday” from the Beach Days stamp set on the inside.
The “Oh Happy Day!” is from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder (page 18). Using a brayer, I put some Versamark on the folder, die cut and then added silver embossing powder and heat set.
For the background, I did the same thing. I added Versamark to the logo side, embossed and then added silver embossing powder.
I decided to see what it would look like if I put the Versamark on the non-logo side. ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
So, here they are side by side. Totally different!
Here’s my video showing how to use that AWESOME brayer!

Don’t forget I have a PDF Tutorial for 4 cards using the Jungle Pals! I won’t share those anywhere else! You can see it HERE!
I made a Double Fold card with the motorcycle on it earlier this year. I looked at the Merriest Trees and decided I wanted to make another one- a little different.
Here’s the inside:
And here’s a short video of the card being opened:
Here’s my video making it- and you get to see the 4 cards I have in the Merriest Trees PDF Tutorial!
Here’s all the measurements for this card- you can also see the PDF for the Double Fold Card under my “instructions” on the right side or on the bottom from a phone.

My motorcycle card can be seen (the video is in the post) here
How about a double fold card using the Ready to Ride suite/ Legendary Ride bundle?
I saw a card on a demo Facebook Page that was a double fold that was so pretty. She used Rays of Light and the Mountain Air stamps and dies. I decided I wanted to make one but wanted to make it a little different.
This is what it looks like when opened:
I was selling cards at a Vendor Fair last week and a few people asked me if I had more man cards. I did not. So, on my list of things to do was to make men cards!
I was looking through my stuff deciding what to use. I saw the motorcycle and I was like- “that would be a really cool card!”
The size of this card is 5-1/2″ x 11″. Scored at 4″ and 8-1/4″.
The DSP is 3-3/4″ x 5-3/8″ on the top where the sentiment is.
On the bottom, below the motorcycle, the DSP is 1″ x 5-1/2″.
Inside there are two pieces of DSP- on the top and bottom. Both are 1-5/16″x 5-1/2″.
Here’s my full video:
I have a short one on Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok!
I saw the Pop & Twist (or Pop & Fold) technique years ago, and saw it again recently. I love it!
After making a vertical card, I decided I wanted to make a horizontal one. I had to figure out the dimensions and thought I’d make a video of how to do it!
I show how to do both in this video.
This card shown is just one of the four I show in the video. I’ll share the others soon!
I first stamped the Rays of Light on Basic White with So Saffron ink. I stamped the tree branch (from the Perched In a Tree stamp set and Aspen Tree Dies) with Early Espresso. I used one of my water painters to bleed the ink a little.
The leaves is one of the dies from Aspen Tree dies. I used the In Color Glimmer paper.
For the inside, I used the kite die from the Playing in the Rain dies. The letters are from the A la Mode dies.
To see my PDFs of instructions (it’s two pages- one for vertical, one for horizontal), here you go (click on it to see both pages). They will also be under my instructions:
When I saw the Share a Milkshake stamp set in the mini, I loved it, but I especially loved the sentiment “You’re the Cherry on Top”. I’ve had the Sweetest Cherries bundle for a while and I always thought it should have the sentiment!
I wanted the cherries to have some shine or sparkle, so I looked through all my stuff and the Gilded Leafing won!
Since the cherries are shiny gold, I decided to put the Distressed Gold paper behind my Split Card Textures die cut.
Here’s another card I made during the video. Just some color change and I added leaves from the punch with Distressed Gold.
Here’s the quick video of me making the pink card:
This card is simple and uses an old school technique. Use a die as a stencil!
I saw a card months ago and it reminding me of that technique. I wanted to try it again! The first card I did was the Sweet Christmas card you can see here:
I then started doing it on tons of cards. I love the technique and it’s so easy! Here’s my video (you’ll see lots of cards in this, including ones I’ve never shown):
For this card, I used Sweet Sorbet and Calypso Coral with Blending Brushes for the hearts. I also covered the small hearts with the Wink of Stella.
The sentiment is from the Kindest Gnomes stamp set.
For the Gnome, I colored him with Calypso, Sorbet, Balmy Blue and Medium Light Blends.
I scored a few lines around the edges with the Scored Tool.

First, here’s the video of the changes (and you’ll get to see my puppy!):
And here’s the original video:
But, I made some big changes. Here we go! (I am including original pictures and links)
My desk where I make videos. I used to have it covered with a table cloth, but that was kinda annoying. So I found some things to make the desk more usable. The first picture is how it used to look, the next two is how it looks now:
Here’s the biggest change- my Ikea Kallax. After using it for a few weeks, I decided I really wanted a bigger one. Ikea is great with returns-if it is assembled, you have 180 days to return. You just bring in the big heavy thing and they give you your money back! I got the new one and added doors to the bottom.
I added TONS of stuff from Stamp-N-Storage. I love their products, it has made my room so much more organized.
Here’s the pictures and links from the first post:
How I store my stamps. I like to see all of them. Sometimes you need a certain size stamp and I can look through all of them and find one that works! Here’s what I use:
How I store my markers. On the right side, I have 4 cases that hold my Write Markers, Aqua Painters, Watercolor Pencils. If you buy the full set of Write Markers:
