You're The Best With Hobby Haven DSP

 





I am on my third day of showing off the Hobby Haven DSP and another card made for my daughter up north at school! She loves reading/books, coffe and making costumes/sewing! I have made a gate fold card with a Lost Lagoon base cut at 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" and scored at 2 1/8" on both sides of the 8 1/2" side. I added two strips of the DSP on the front panels cut at 2" by 5 3/8". I then cut the Branching Out dies in white and Lost Lagoon card stock for the outside and one for the inside. I added the punched out images from the Hobby Haven DSP to my dies and then stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals set in Lost Lagoon ink on a Petal Pink banner punched from the Banner Sayings punch. Inside, I added another piece of DSP and the white die to write on. I finished with some Pretty Peacock foiled gems on the front. 
Hope you have a beautiful weekend !

You Are Loved With Hobby Haven DSP

 



If you saw my post yesterday, you will know I am making cards for my daughter who is away at school up north and I send her a card each week. I bought this Hobby Haven DSP because it has many of her fav things like yesterday's card was all about books/reading! Today is about probably her most fav thing-coffee! I have a Very Vanilla base and a layer of Coastal Cabana card stock with a strip of the Hobby Haven DSP. I then cut a Label Me Grateful die in Basic Beige card stock to add the punched out images on. I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink from the Banner Sayings set on Very Vanilla card stock and then punched it out with the Banner Sayings punch. I added some pink swirl gems to finish it off. 
I will get this one out this weekend to my girl but stop back tomorrow for another one with this paper in a special fold. 
Thanks for stopping by!

Missing You With Hobby Haven DSP

 




I am back making cards as of the last few days. I had put all away after finishing my Christmas projects back in early December and now ready to play with some new items I got in the late fall and some coming this week from the new spring mini catty! For the next few days, I have cards I have made for my daughter whom I miss like crazy as she has gone back to school up north! I am using the Hobby Haven DSP which has 10 full sheets of DSP and two pages of punch out images. I have gone with the books here and a Coastal Cabana base. I then layered with Early Espresso card stock and a layer of the DSP. I used the punched out images arranged on a Coastal Cabana die cut with the Branching Out dies. I then stamped the sentiment on a piece of white card stock from the Regal Flora set in Early Espresso ink and used the Banner Sayings punch to punch out and pop on. I finished with some metal gems and it went in the mail yesterday to my girl! 
Hope you have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!

Nutcracker Christmas Tags

 









My daughter and I used the Nutcracker Tag kit to make 24 tags (2 kits with 12 each) for Christmas tags this year! We so needed to update our tags as they were like 8 or more years old! I have a photo here of my daughter working and of a few under the tree!  Check out my beachy tree!
Enjoy your week!
Merry Christmas !
Thanks for stopping by!
I will see you in 2026!

Merry Skatin' Christmas

 






I made this card for my daughter to add her gift card to BWW- Buffalo Wild Wings! I have an easel card turned into a gift card holder! I used the Balmy Blue card stock along with the Beautiful Bokeh DSP in same color. I used the Sophisticated Sled set for the skates and the wreath which are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut out with matching dies. I also colored them with my Stampin Blends markers in Balmy Blue, Lemon lime Twist, Pretty In Pink and Smoky Slate. I stamped the sentiment from the Nov 2025 PP kit in Pretty In Pink ink on a white label banner punched with the Banner Sayings punch. I cut the inside pocket with a Stylish Shapes circle for the opening. 
Have a Merry Christmas and thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Cheer To You!

 



A fast and easy card with the Joyful Days Memories & More card pack! I have a Cherry Cobbler base and a layer of from the card pack and then added a piece of Mossy Meadow to go behind another piece from the card pack with the sentiment. I stamped the small To You from the Merriest Trees set in Cherry Cobbler ink on white card stock and snipped it out and then added the red twine double bow. I have mailed this out to my son who gets a card each week from me!
Have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by!
Merry Christmas!

November 2025 Paper Pumpkin Treat Boxes

 









I assembled and decorated with my daughter the treat boxes from the Nov 2025 PP kit. We did them how we wanted to layer them and added to the tags. I popped them with some ribbon around the boxes after adding the treats inside- a couple of holiday Ghirardelli chocolate squares. I am passing them out a ladies brunch with my neighbors on Monday. 
Hope you have a blessed weekend!
Thanks for stopping by!
Merry Christmas!
