25 & Counting: Hand Stamped Advent Calendar
Who knew a muffin tin could make a great Advent Calendar? Jenni Mueller combined the 25 & Counting stamp set with a muffin tin to make this! I remember having an Advent Calendar when I was a child and we also had one we used each year when our children were young………but none of them […]
Doilies and Pearls for Christmas Trees
For a totally different, but elegant, Christmas tree look, try this idea using the doilies from the Flirtatious Specialty designer series paper.

A Holiday Quilted Card
This beautiful, yet simple card, using the Postage Stamp punch and the Holly Berry Bouquet designer series paper makes me think of sitting on the sofa on a winter night wrapped up in a lap quilt and reading a good book. The Snow Burst embossing folder gives it the quilted look. Attach the punched pieces […]
