As 2016 draws to a close, I thought it might be fun to share with you my most popular blog posts of the year … so, starting of course with..
#10. Tiny Treat Boxes
I first received a tiny box of gift cards from Linda Heller many years ago and I have been making them ever since! They make great shower favors or little thank you gifts. See how easy they are to make here.
#9. Jars of Love 3 Ways
Its always fun to see a stamp set used in several ways. This is one of my favorite stamp sets in the catalog. Read the original post here.
#8. Christmas Pines – but not just for Christmas!
Such a beautiful stamp set and thinlits! See more.
#7. One Wild Ride Double Z Card
A fun fold card for motorcycles … or anything else. Find the directions here.
#6. Press & Seal
My video for this had more hits in the first few days than any other video I have ever done. You never know what you might find in the kitchen to use with your card making. See the video tutorial and written instructions.
#5. Pop & Twist Card
This fun fold has become so popular! Have you tried it yet? Detailed instructions are here.
#4. DIY Gift Bag
One sheet of Designer Series Paper makes this lovely bag in no time at all!!! Read all about it!
#3. Easiest Gift Card Holder Ever!
All you need is a 6″ Square of Designer Series Paper! See how easy it really is.
#2. My Favorite Handmade Gift to Give!
I have no idea how many of these I have given. (I gave 19 of them – each one different – as thank you gifts to my December customers!) If you love to make cards, this is a great way to package them for gifts. See how simple these are to make right here.

P.S. Make that 20 Homemade Gifts (#2 above) as someone just placed a qualifying order through my online store this morning! There are still a few more days to get one!
I love #8. It inspired me to buy the items to make that card!
Hi?? Number2 has my vote .. looks like those new pencils .. I want bad.. love the blending
Karen, My favorite is the DIY gift bag and the Jars of Love 3 ways. I LOVE mason jars…use them for everything!!!
How do I pick just one?
#9 Jar of Love 3 ways I guess!
Number 8. I love that set
Couldn’t decide between #10 & #1. Love them both
Number 2 is my favorite. Made a bunch as Christmas presents using the Santa Thinlit die as the cover. Inside I put six tiny cards and eight different Christmas present tags. Everyone seemed to love them.
#10, #4 and # 3 are my votes, but #10 is my most favorite.
number 3 is my vote because I really liked them and I made them for all my gift cards this Christmas.
I seriously can’t pick, cause I love them all. There are so many fun ideas and techniques.
Number 2 is also my favorite !!
I love #1, and the cute story how to make explosion cards easily!
Although #1 was the project that (thankfully) brought me to your YouTube channel, #2 is my favorite gift to make/give.
#2 is my fave but the press and seal is a close second….thanks for the videos, you two make me smile just thinking about watching
Jars of love, but the others are great also!
I loved all that I have seen however 1 and 3 were probably my favorites. Can’t wait to see more in 2017
The DIY bag is my favorite, if I had to have a favorite. I love them all! But, the DSP is what won this over for me!
I like number 10
I love #6!!
