Christmas Frame & Coordinating Card

Make a framed tree with a banner to mark the year for your home-for-the-holidays, or for a one-of-a-kind gift! The card perfectly complements the frame if you’re giving it as a gift, or make a bunch and send them out as your card this year! This project makes a great holiday class or club project too!

Autumn Accents Candle & Frame Set

I'm really excited to share the project that I created as a guest designer for Craft Project Central this month! I used some of my favorite new fall products from the Holiday Catalog, along with some other old favorites, to make this set. Hope you like it!

Rich colorful leaves with a touch of shimmer make this candle wrap with matching mat and chipboard frame the perfect addition to your autumn home décor. This would also make a lovely hostess gift during the fall season.

Wouldn't the candle wrap look lovely wrapped around a bottle of wine to give as a gift?

The chipboard frame would be easy to make for any holiday or occasion just by changing the colors. Check back to see a Halloween version of this frame tomorrow.

I actually made this set planning to give it as a gift...but I think I'm going to have to make another one, because I just cannot part with it now!

Bright & Cheery Greenhouse Garden

Here's a card I created for the Creating Pretty Cards Challenge over at Craft Project Central. Each month in addition to the great 3D projects that Craft Project Central have for you, they also host a monthly card challenge – Creating Pretty Cards!! This month is the 10th card sketch.

I used one of my favorite retiring sets...Greenhouse Garden along with the Hostess Set Perfect Words. I chose bright & cheery colors from the Brights Collection...Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie & Rich Razzleberry. It's fun to have some Seam Binding Ribbon offered in Daffodil Delight...as you know I just {LOVE} that stuff! It's so easy to tie a bow and it's so soft that it doesn't make a big bump when mailing. This new ribbon is part of the Summer Smooches Suite which is a sneak peek from the upcoming new catalog.

I hope you are inspired by this card...I find it so much easier to create when I have a great sketch to inspire me first. So why don't you play along too...looking forward to seeing what you create!

If you like the Greenhouse Garden set but have not added it to your collection yet, you'll want to purchase it before it's no longer available. After May 31st it is retiring along with many other great sets. Click here to see the entire list.
