Hi Crafty Friends,I have a unique colored Christmas card featuring the Poppy Stamps Nordic Whimsy Trees in every color of the rainbow. I love non-traditional Christmas colors and this slimline offered me the perfect amount of space to do rainbow trees. Make Crafty Friends Q & A:Q: Which color tree above is your favorite?A: Me?…
How to reuse scraps to make a card
There is so much to love about the new Gracious Floral release from Memory Box Open Studio. I'm a big fan of slimline cards, so I decided to use these big blooms to create a high contrast card of mostly black and white. I used the Gracious Floral 3D Embossing Folder with heavy white cardstock….
There aren’t many cuter images than panda bears to put on a card front. I used the Whittle Panda Pickup Kit to put together this slimline card. The panda bear die is a single solid die that cuts out 4 different panda bears with etch marks on them. As another design member has shown, you…
The new Layered Tulips die is so much fun to work with! If you like flowers (how many cardmakers don’t?) it offers so much texture and dimension.

The Whittle Polar Bears die is another of the amazing Christmas releases for 2022. I wanted to create a night sky that had more “movement” than solid cardstock. I started with a piece of 140lb watercolor paper that was 3.5″ x 8.5″, the typical measurements for a slimline card. I used Distress Spray Stain…
The first time I saw the new Witches Shoe die from Poppystamps, I immediately thought of the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz. I didn’t like that movie as a small child and I would hide behind the TV every time the witch came on TV. I figured she couldn’t see me that way….
