• Concord & 9th Celebrates 10 Years! Happy to help celebrate as a guest designer!

    Hi there sweet crafty friends! How are you?! It’s been a whirlwind of crafting here! I was so happy and excited to be one of the guest designers for the new August release from Concord & 9th! First of all, the release is AWESOME! Second of all, they are celebrating TEN years in business this month! You know I love that entire gang and this made me so happy to create for them this month!! I shared all six of my projects on Instagram in the past week, but I also wanted to get them on the blog. Everything is so great! A wide variety of stamps, dies and stencils – something for everyone. I put my Wanda twist on everything and smiled the entire time I was creating. Hope you find something to inspire you!! XO

    First up is (I think) my favorite project from the new release! I used the new Fall Favors dies to make this sweet red apple treat box! The box was easy to assemble, and it’s larger than most treat boxes, so you can fit a lot inside. The die set allows you to make an apple, a pumpkin, an acorn, or even a cute little succulent plant. So innovative! I will be re-using this one over and over.

    My next card project was made using the Brand new Curio dies! SO cute and fun! It’s a curio cabinet and accessories so you can make it whatever you want! Of course, I had to make a Fall Curio! Full of pumpkins and leaves, a banner, and the cute tiny clock! The windows are made with vellum and I added lots of little accents to make it my own… Isn’t this super cool?? The entire curio fits onto an A2 card!

    Next up is a fun and festive birthday card made using the brand new Party Time stamps and dies! I used just the party hats to create this bold and colorful scene. I used gold glitter paper for the pom poms on top! It’s so HAPPY! I like this color palette because I feel like it could be for a man, a woman or a kid! A universally happy color way! I think it would be cute in a monochromatic color scheme too! My finished card is an A2 card base…in cream!

    This next card is an accordion card! It folds up flat for mailing, and then pops open into a sweet 3D Fall scene! I used the brand new Accordion dies and the brand new Accordion Woodland stamps and dies. I made a woodland scene using warm colors and kraft. I put on some tiny hearts and die embossed the cover. That little foxy sitting amongst the mushrooms is so adorbs!

    This sweet card features the brand new Sentimental Florals stamps and dies! I love how the floral spray comes together and then that bold graphic goes into the center. It’s bold and pretty at the same time. Again – an A2 card base. There are several options for the center of the card, but I really loved this big “hi” in teal…. I was kinda thinking of trying this one in a Christmas color palette too!

    BOO TO YOU! Hello my friends! I am SO EXCITED to share some projects I made with the new Pretty Pink Posh Halloween 2025 release! You know I love this release every year, and I can’t wait to see what Paulina comes up with for us to craft! This year was as good as ever! Everything is cute and spooky (but not too spooky) and FUN. I made two projects so far, and I hope to make lots more. I hope you are doing well this week, as we are getting ready to transition into Autumn. We’ve had amazing weather here in Northern California, and I can feel the light changing which makes me super happy. My new job is going great and I’ve almost been there five months! I do miss crafting every day, but this job is a blessing for sure! So, I’ll craft and blog when I can, and enjoy sharing with you. XO

    First up is this adorable treat box, well, because we know how much I love a treat box! Especially for Halloween! I used the brand new Cat Holder Dies and some old PPP favorites too. Traditional colors or black and orange, with a pop of lime green! Oh, and a sparkly spider web just because. I made a festive flag to tuck into my treat box, which I think makes the whole thing more fun. Googly eyes on a spider? Check! Candy? Check! A cross eyed kitty cat? Check!

  • Summer Sunflower Garden Gloves Card – The Greetery!

    Hi there sweet and crafty friends! It’s Wanda here, and today I’m on The Greetery Blog! And sharing here too of course! hope everything is going great in your corner of the world. We are enjoying the hot lazy days of late Summer here in Northern California. Ready for Autumn (always!). To share with you today, I made a fun gardening gloves card in shades of warm yellows and browns. This is peak gardening season so I thought this card was appropriate! This time of year I think of sunflowers and that was my inspiration…. You grow, girl! 
     
    My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with brown gingham and more white cardstock. I used the Garden Gear Gloves stencils and dies to create the pretty gardening gloves. I used pale yellow cardstock for the gloves. I used stenciling colors to mimic sunflowers and greenery. The accents are made from kraft cardstock. These are so much fun to stencil – the color possibilities are endless!

  • You are Crab-ulous! Fun Summer card with a coastal theme!

    Helloooooo my friends! Happy weekend! Don’t be crabby, be crab-ulous! Hee hee. I’m here today to share a silly, cute, fun card with a coastal theme! As soon as I saw the Summer release from Waffle Flower I RAN to my computer to order some things! I love anything with an ocean vibe and these new items are perfection! This card was so much fun to make – I was smiling the entire time. And, for some reason, the Gilligan’s Island theme song was in my head. LOLZ! So in lieu of a trip to the ocean, this card will have to suffice!

    My card features all new items from Waffle Flower – Anchor, Crabs, Coastal Postage… and more. My finished card is an A2 white card base with a horizontal axis. I layered teal gingham and then a white panel to feature my elements. I gently inked the top of the white panel in yellow ink to look like a bright Summer sky.

    Here’s a side view to see all my layers and design elements…. I started by die cutting out those CUTE crabs! They were very easy to put together. The die set comes with a small one and a large one. Next I die cut the anchor from matte silver cardstock. I stenciled just the lighthouse postage stamp from the new set, and die cut it out with the matching die.

  • Pinkfresh Studio New Release – Sending you Sunshine!

    Hi friends! Hope you’re having an awesome week so far! Today is a GIANT Instagram Hop to celebrate the new release from Pinkfresh Studio… And I am lucky enough to be included in the fun hop festivities! CLICK HERE to see the hop, and leave a comment to win some prizes! The new release is, well, FRESH! Fresh, and pretty, and Summery…. Love it all!

    My card for the new release and Hop features the brand new Coastal Paradise product suite of stamps, dies, and stencils. It all coordinates so beautifully, like only Pinkfresh can do…. I chose a color palette from my memories of time in Key West, Florida – those bright yellows, pinks, and aqua… This is Summer on a card for sure!

    CLICK HERE FOR THE SUPPLY LIST FOR TODAY’S CARD!

    My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered in aqua summer stripes, and then a white stitched layer. I started by stamping all the pieces in rich black ink onto white cardstock. I used my Pinkfresh Studio ink cubes and small blending brushes to stencil all the colors onto the houses, trees, and umbrellas…. Then I die cut out everything with the perfectly matching dies. I stenciled the sunburst at the top of my panel right behind where I was going to put the houses.

  • The Greetery – Teacups and Stripes!

    Hi there sweet and crafty friends! It’s Wanda here! Today is my turn on The Greetery Blog! (And of course here too!) Hope you’re having a wonderful Summer and enjoyed a fun 4th of July holiday! We had such a nice long holiday weekend. Lots of time at home, great church, fireworks, hamburgers… It was all good. And, now the year is half over!!

    To share with you today, I made a sweet Summer tea party card! I used a fresh color palette that inspired me from an Instagram post with some cool graphic art. I am always inspired by color palettes! These happy teacups are perfect for a “just because” card. I love the blues together with that pop of orange and stripes for good measure. 

    My finished card is a cream A2 card base, layered with blue and white stripes, then a cream layer to feature the teacups. I used the Sips Tea Dies set to die cut three teacups. I gently inked the edges of the cups with darker blue ink. I also splattered on some white paint. I used the Lemon Blossom Die set to die cut two oranges and two leaf clusters. I inked and splattered those too. On the cream panel I used just a small portion of the Flourished Phrases Merry Stencil to add a little flourish to that top left corner. I used the small flowers from the Sweetest Corners Stamp Set to add flowers to two of the cups. Be sure to look at your stamp and supplies in new ways!!

    The sentiment was stamped in black ink onto cream cardstock. I used the Sign Off Sentiments stamps and matching dies for the sentiment. I stacked the teacups and affixed them to the card with foam tape. Then I tucked in those little sweet oranges under the stack. (My favorite tea is the Good Earth Sweet and Spicy tea which has orange on the package!) What is your favorite tea? A few tiny orange hearts complete my card.

  • The Greetery – You’re SO cool!

    Hi there creative and crafty friends! It’s June and it’s Summer! In fact, TODAY is the first official day of Summer! It’s my turn today on The Greetery Blog too! What is the best thing about Summer? It might be ice cream! For today I made a fun and sweet ice cream cone card in pink and white, with some cute little strawberries too! This card might inspire me to go sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather, and a cone! Strawberry of course! 
     
    My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with stripes, vellum and a pretty scallop. My card features the What’s the Scoop Stamp Set and the Honeycomb Ice Cream dies. They work perfectly together. I started by die cutting out all my pieces to make the cone and the strawberries. I used a color palette of brown and pink, which I have always liked!! Seems kind of vintage too… I put the strawberries together and also the ice cream cone. I used Distress Inks to gently shade each of the pieces.

    I stamped the sentiment in brown and pink to match my cone. I used the Curio Confections Dies to make the circles for the sentiment. I added little heart embellishments and some chunky glitter. You could make this card in any color combination and I think it’s perfect for a birthday card!

  • Pretty Pink Posh – Seashells and Good Vibes!

    Hey Hi Hello! I’m back today with another card I made with the awesome Summer 2025 new release from our friends at Pretty Pink Posh! This is such a good release – one of my favs of all time! All the things we love for Summer! Today I made a seashell card to send you lots of good vibes as we head into the heart of the season. Oh, how I yearn for a trip to the beach! Hope you’re having a great week. This card today is also part of a bit multi-day Instagram Hop, so if you have Instagram, be sure to head over and enjoy the hop and enter to win some prizes! XO

    Today’s card is an A2 horizontal kraft card base. I layered soft blue, cream, and vellum to serve as the background for my bounty of seashells… This card features the brand new Stitched Seashells and the brand new Stitched Coral Dies. They are marvelous! The perfect scale, all the right shapes, stitched details. What’s not to love? I busted out all kinds of pastel colors to make my shells and coral. I used Distress Inks in matching colors to gently ink around the edges of all the pieces.

  • Pretty Pink Posh – Summer 2025 new release!

    Hi there my dear crafty friends! Hope you’re having an awesome week! This week is FLYING by! Today the hubs and I celebrated 32 years together!! He sent me a giant bouquet of roses at the office today, and it was soooo nice! We’re going to go out for a nice dinner this weekend to celebrate some more! Yay us! It’s quite an accomplishment to stay together this long, and I’m totally proud of us! It’s been a good week, really busy at work, and some fun creative things too. Oh, and our first set of 100 degree days… 

    Today is release day for the awesome new Summer 2025 release from Pretty Pink Posh! It’s one of my favorite stamp/die releases EVER. Yeah, it’s that good. The seashells dies are going to stay in my collection forever! (I’ll be sharing a card next week using them)! The release is sure to satisfy your summer crafting cravings….

    My clean and simple card today features the brand new Beach Fun stamps and dies and the brand new Waves Dies… I love the simple lines, and I added tons of color using my Copic Markers. My finished card is a white A2 card base layered with Summer stripes paper and then my beach images. I ink blended the waves and the sand using Distress inks… I added some white gel pen accents and just a few gems to finish my warm sunny scene….
