May Your Day Be As Sweet As You Are!

Hi Crafty Friends,
I have a honey sweet shaker card featuring My Favorite Things JB Beeline to Your Heart Stamp Set and darling shaker bits with bears, honeycombs, and sequins from Picket Fence Studios called Honey Bears. The hexagon was created using Jaded Blossom Stitched Hexagon Dies and the scallop border is Jaded Blossom Scalloped Rectangles 2 Dies. I love that I found shaker bits and pattern paper from Echo Park Bee Happy that match my theme.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you eat honey?
A: Me? No, it's really sweet to me, but my mom loves it on her toast

Happy 2025! From the Nordic Joyful Sweet Elves

Hi Crafty Friends,
Happy 2025! These darling Nordic Elves from Poppy Stamps want to get your year started off right with a little sparkle and a fun idea for a New Year's Card.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you make New Year's Resolutions?
A: Me? No

Step #1: I started my card by using Memory Box Snowflake Rub On Transfer on red cardstock. These snowflakes make background so easy to make.

Step #2: I layered the Poppy Stamps Nordic Delicate Border Set over my snowflake background with gold paper underneath for extra shine. Next, I added the Memory Box Advent Foil White Circle Tabs with 2025.

Step #3: I used Memory Box 6x6 Blush Cardstock Paper Pad and Memory Box Yuletide Plaid 6x6 Paper Pad to create my Poppy Stamps Nordic Joyful Elves and Poppy Stamps Nordic Sweet Elves.



Step #4: I mounted my elves around the 2025 Tabs and added gold pearls all over my card.

May the Little Things Bring You Joy

Hi Crafty Friends,
This little penguin is from Lili of the Valley Snow Cute Stamp Set. There are seven different adorable penguins in this set and I love the little candy cane this one is holding. I used Taylored Expressions Create-in-Quads Snowflake Stencil for my background and Waffleflower A7 Lacey Layers Dies to frame it. This is a perfect NEW Year's Card because in 2025 I want everyone to find JOY in the little things.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What else would you like to see the penguin holding?
A: Me? Coffee Cup
