New product alert! I made a beautiful card today on my Facebook Live – and it goes together so quickly! I featured new product that will be available starting Nov. 7 via my Online Store! This is the Meandering Meadow suite – and includes the gorgeous Garden Meadow Desginer Series Paper – and the Garden Meadow bundle. The DSP itself is a must have! I of course love the bundle as I am a gardener and love all things related to gardening.
Here is the recording of the Facebook Live – Watch the recording to see how quickly this card goes together! So simple – but so pretty. I designed this card so that you could see both sides of the DSP!
Here’s a look at the card from the inside – the backside of this paper is so beautiful as well – don’t you think?
I finished up the card with a stamped greeting and flower on the inside – and one of the new dragonfly embellishments that are included in this new suite.

For my Facebook Live this week I made the card above featuring a new bundle called Heartfelt Hexgaon. it’s a wonderful bundle – great words in the stamp set and an awesome hexagon shaped punch! What I didn’t show on my Live was the Scalloped Gift Card Box you see on the left! After I finished my Live, I made the box for my daughter Rachel. She was coming into town for a few days and it was her birthday. I had a gift card to give her – and used the supplies I had out for the card to make her a cute box!!!! In her box, I did include a gift card and also a pair of cute fall earrings – and both fit in the box perfectly! It’s a really easy was to make a gift card and small gift seem more special!
Here is the recording of the Facebook Live –
The card – the papers I used are so pretty. They are from a stack of Designer Series Papers in the current Mini Catalog called Garden Walk. It is a great 6″ x 6″ stack – with beautiful papers for all occasions – there is even a “Christmasy” paper!
Here’s a look at the box – just changed the measurements up a bit – but other than that, it is the same as the card. And I LOVE the Lost Lagoon Ribbon – so pretty and easy to work with, and it compliments the DSP I chose perfectly!

This week I did a little pop in Facebook Live – I wanted to share this adorable pumpkin candy holder idea – inspired by Jill Olsen and Kathi Miller. JUST SO CUTE!
I put my own spin on these little pumpkins – and created three different ones – the first is my favorite color of pumpkin – the white ones. Then I shared a pumpkin made with Lost Lagoon cardstock! I’ve seen some pumpkins around town in so many fun colors – they are my favorite! And then the third pumpkin was created with the Pumpkin Patch bundle in tradtional pumpkin colors.
These would be darling little place markers or treats for Thanksgiving dinner! A little something for a teacher, a friend – really anyone! Hope you will try one!!!
Here is the recording of the Facebook Live – you can see how these go together by watching!

BOX: 3 5/8″ x 4 1/8″.
Score along both edges of short side at 1 1/2”. Score along both edges of the long side- at 5/8″. Please watch the video to see me create the box.

I wanted to send a coffee gift card to a friend – and of course wanted to make it look cute! This is what I came up with – it’s cute and quick – my favorite kind of project!!!
And really, the possibilities for this are endless – instead of a gift card, what about a tea bag? Or a chocolate square? The base of this gift card holder is the new Countryside Inn dies, and then of course the Cheerful Daises bundles adds the cuteness factor! I love the Lemon Lolly color – it’s one of our new Core Colors and is quickly becoming a favorite of mine!
Here’s the recording- What do you think?
If you need a gift card, try this one out! Perfect for a little pick me up for a friend, end of year teacher thank you, etc!
