When I saw this stamp set it seemed perfect for quick cards and holiday treats since it is quick and easy to color with our Stampin’ Blends or Watercolor Pencils.
Check out today’s card using this stamp set and simple stamping. It’s a great stamp set for someone starting out and building their stamp collection.
Check out my quick video tutorial showing you how I created this card and of course my PDF with everything you need to get started creating.
Are you a Peanuts fan? I grew up watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special so it was the first thing that went through my mind when I saw this fun little line art tree in the Festive Friends Bundle (Online Exclusive 166039).
Along with this cute little tree there are 3 great images that are quick and easy to color. Check out today’s card made with this set.
I love this quick and easy card that highlights this tree and the fun little stand that has been created with a couple of pieces of our Country Woods Designer Series Paper (163393). Clever right? to add interest to the background a easy technique has been used to add the speckle in the background.
How is it done? Create a mask for your snowman and use a toothbrush dipped in a bit of Secret Sea reinker and run your finger across the bristles to fleck or flick the tooth brush to create this fine misty look. A bit messy, so remember to protect your work service, but a lot of fun!
The Suite is filled with lovely images, uses a elegant font, and is filled with colors perfect for creating cards year round. I’ve chosen the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive166125) that uses the Timid Tiger and Petal Pink flowers since they made me think of fall.
Here is the card that I came up with
I’ve used Stampin’ Blends to color the image and give me a bold water color feel like the cards. Want to see how I did it? Check out my tutorial for today where I show you how I’ve created this card.
And why not a PDF? I’ve included measurements, products, and step by step instructions. Print it off and you’ll have everything at your finger tips including the YouTube link so you can go back and create your own card.
I needed a quick birthday card for a family member who loves purple and so I reached for the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper (164607) and came up with this soft feminine card that I thought my sister in law would enjoy.
I love the fact that the Layered Thoughts Stamp set (165346) has this big bold font making it a great focal point all on it’s own. And thought it would be perfect for a quick and easy technique like the one I used for the letters to add multiple colors.

Do you enjoy learning new technique that you can use in your projects? I know I do and fall is a great time to dust them off and use them since they can create a wow factor to your projects. So today I’m sharing a Ink Swipe Technique that I recently shared with my Team, the Blue Mountain Stampers at our October Team Meeting.
This technique is quick and simple to do using some of your favorite colors for fall. And why not pull out that Very Vanilla card stock too? I love using this card stock during the holidays as it has a warmer less bright feel to it.

Loveliest Tree Ink Swipe Technique Card & Technique Book Page PDF
Not only does my PDF contain everything you need to create this card, it also has a fun technique page for a technique book you can build to keep the tutorials in.
I don’t know about you, but when I first started stamping I kept every card as a reference, which was silly since I should have been using them! These technique book page is something I share in my classes just like the card sketches. So why not join me for a class and learn some fun new things?

Wow, where has the week gone? It’s just flown by and I haven’t been able to share with you as I had planned. So today I’m going to share another of my Halloween goodies with you, this time a treat tent filled with M&Ms. After all everyone needs a little something, something right? And who doesn’t like chocolate? Got to tell you it was tough keeping the M&Ms away from my husband so I could add them to the treat bag, lol! I’m thinking this might just be his little treat.
I’ve enjoyed creating a bunch of little treats that my family and friends will enjoy later this month and think you’ll enjoy the Suite too. The Spooky Sweet Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 166191) even has some fun die cut pieces you can use if you want a really quick no stamp project or simply coordinating images. Who doesn’t love that?
Check out my tutorial that I’ve created for you along with my PDF with complete supply list, measurements and more!

I find that our fall stamps are great for techniques and since this stamp is a big background stamp it makes cards quick too.
Check out this lovely card using the Etched Autumn stamp
that uses a quick Sponge Daubers (133773) for a quick and easy application of colors. Peach Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Calypso Coral and Garden Green were applied randomly onto the stamp. Make sure to start with the lightest color first so you don’t contaminate your lighter color ink pads. Breath or huff onto the stamp to reactivate the ink and stamp. Yep, it’s that easy!
I love the earthy feel of this card that makes me think of crisp fall days – I can hear the crunch of leaves beneath my feet. How about you?
