I love pink and green for Christmas cards! The non-traditional colors are great for making light-hearted handmade cards like these with the Whimsy and Wonder patterned paper. 

I'm hopping with the fabulous designers of the Pretty Cards & Paper International Design Team. If you've popped over here from another blog, welcome! I hope that you'll enjoy my projects and then click through the rest of the hop because these artists have created some gorgeous handmade cards with this fun Whimsy & Wonder scrapbooking paper. You'll find the full list of designers at the bottom.

If you live in the US and need some of this patterned paper - because if you don't have it already, you'll definitely want some in your stash - I hope you'll come back and click on the supply list below to order some. Please let me know if you have any questions or need help!

​Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

What gift is given the most? Gift cards! Here is a easy DIY gift card holder that you can make for Christmas, birthdays, or just to say thank you. You can keep the stamping simple with just stamps, ink, and paper, or add extra pizzazz to your gift card holder. 

We made these for last night's Mystery Stamping event. I hope you'll join me next week at 8pm Eastern in the On Y Go! Stamping Facebook group to make another fun card using supplies from your own stash.

Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

I love card sketches! Especially ones that use patterned paper like this one. Card sketches make it so easy to make handmade cards quickly! I used this basic design and tweaked it a bit to create three completely different cards.

We made this card design for Mystery Stamping last night. We do Mystery Stamping every Tuesday night at 8:00 pm in the On Y Go! Stamping Facebook group. I hope you'll join us next week!

Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

For today's Pretty Cards & Paper Blog Hop, the team has created some amazing projects with the Painted Christmas patterned paper. I love this paper! And I think you will too. Be sure to read through this whole post and then click through the list of designers at the bottom to see all of their fabulous creations.

I created two cards today where I die cut pieces for one card and then used the scraps for another card. I love using all of the pieces and not having to put anything in the trash. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Halloween is right around the corner, and here is another quick and easy Halloween card that would be fun to send to someone. I love this little cat peeking out of the jack-o-lantern. (We'll be using this adorable stamp set for the September Card Class & Game Night!) The Cutest Halloween patterned paper provides a gorgeous background for this fun fold card.

Nobody likes making sympathy cards, but it's always nice to have a few on hand when you need them. The Peaceful Place patterned paper provides the perfect serene backdrop for an elegant sympathy card. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. Change out the sentiment and this would also be a beautiful - and easy - Christmas card idea.

I know this card looks a little more spring than fall, but y'all, I cannot get enough of the Pattern Party patterned paper. It's just too gorgeous! If you want to get your hands on this gorgeous paper, you have to host a workshop or class or place your own $150 order. But it is so worth it! 

I also used the Delicate Dahlias stamp set that is available for FREE during Sale-a-Bration! I can't get enough of these beautiful flowers either. With a photorealistic inside and a separate outline stamp for the outside, it is so versatile. If you haven't already, check out my video on the different looks you can get with these stamps.

My last fun fold card sample is a Christmas card because while it's still warm and sunny, it's never too early to start working on making your holiday cards! This one is very easy to make and beautiful too. The Whimsy & Wonder patterned paper has shiny iridescent accents. It's so gorgeous in person!
