Inspiring hope and having a bit of faith, today’s card wraps those things up in a Double Gate Fold card. The beautiful colors and serene scenes that the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (163303) include are perfect for a card like this I think.

Thoughtful Journey Torn Edge Card

It’s that time of year to look back at 2025 and say goodbye. When I was a teenager one of my favorite things was listening to the countdown on the radio of the years hits. Now I watch the year in review on the news – It reminds me of many things I’ve already forgotten as the year seems to fly by.

So this week I thought I’d share a look back with you, some “silver & gold” from my craft room – this childhood song is about making friends. I’ve always like the meaning of the friendship song of making new friends and keeping the old – “some are silver and the others gold”. How about you?

Today’s card uses a quick and easy torn edge technique and since the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (163303) is beautiful landscape designs it’s perfect for this card.

I’ve teamed this paper up with the retired Thoughtful Wishes Stamp set and Dies which are retired. You might already have this on your shelves, if not you can use another sentiment set that you love.

Here is my video tutorial and PDF for you – the PDF includes a complete supply list and measurements.

Spooky Halloween Treat Tent Tutorials

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.

Today’s treat uses the Spooky Sweet Suite (Online Exclusive 166205) of products and it’s filled with all kinds of fun things.

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.
