I'm hopping with the fabulous Stampin' Friends today! If you're joining me from another blog on the hop, welcome. I hope you'll check out my projects and then continue on the hop. You'll find the full list of designers and links at the bottom of this post.

This month, we are all sharing projects about giving thanks. I have a thank you card idea that is full of texture. Plus, I have a fun DIY table decoration that you can make for your Thanksgiving table. 

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

Often. we equate monochromatic with black and white, but monochromatic doesn't have to be drab! I have some fabulously bright monochromatic card ideas for you, plus a fun door knob treat holder that's perfect for a candy bar. This treat holder would be perfect for Easter, or a guest room door, or perhaps to welcome your colleagues back to the office. And, I'm using lots of retiring Stampin' Up! stamps and dies. There are some amazing products that are going to be discontinued soon. 

I'm also hopping with the Stampin' Friends today. It's Monochromatic March and all of the project ideas are monochromatic. When you're done checking out my card ideas and gift idea, I hope you'll click through the rest of the Stampin' Friends blog hop and see what everyone else has made as well. So, on y go! Let's get stamping. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

The new Butterfly Brilliance Collection will brighten anyone's day! This fabulous new collection including stamp, dies, and patterned paper will be available Monday.

The Stampin' Friends are celebrating the start of 2021 with a Birthday Bash! For today's blog hop, we are sharing birthday card ideas and projects. My projects use the new Sweet Strawberry bundle and are the second installment in my Craft Box Challenge Series. Today, I used the supplies in my box to do 3 easy watercolor techniques. I went to an awesome stamping retreat this weekend (read more about that below too!) and was reminded how much I love watercolor techniques! I had to try to do a couple with the limited supplies in my craft box. After you read about my projects, be sure to check out all of the other awesome projects by these great designers. So, on y go! Let's get stamping. 

Woo Hoo! It's Stampin' Friends Blog Hop Day! I'm really excited to be hopping with my Stampin' Friends again. Today, I went a little crazy with my projects. I have a really fun Gift Card Box with a special fold out photo card. But that's not all! I also have 2 additional card ideas! All of these projects use the Christmas Gleaming stamp set from Stampin' Up!

​Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

The top of this tin is made with the Heartwarming Hugs patterned paper. It is 2 1/2" x 3 7/8". I laid the tin upside down on the piece of patterned paper and traced the corners. Then, using paper snips, I cut the curved corners. I attached the paper to the top of the tin with Stampin' Seal +. The Stampin' Seal + is a really strong adhesive and works well for a project like this one. To make the edges look a little neater, I used metalized tape that I bought online and taped around the edges. You can see exactly how I did in the video. ​Next, I put Stampin' Seal + on the back of a piece of Metallic Edge Ribbon and adhered it around the outside edge of the tin. This just gives it a little more of a festive appearance.

While you could pop a gift card inside the tin and be done, I created a fun fold-out photo card to stick inside my tin. While my kids aren't little anymore, these images are adorable and this would be a fabulous project to make for grandparents or other loved ones this holiday. 

I started by cutting the corners on the pieces of Real Red cardstock. Again, I traced the corners of the tin on the back of the Real Red pieces and trimmed them with my Paper Snips. I set it inside the tin to verify that if fit properly and did additional trimming if needed.
