Watch Me Wednesday :: May Peace Be Yours + Blog Giveaway


Hey Everyone! I hope your week is going well so far! It should be because it is already Wednesday and here that means time for a new video! So, I created this holiday card to share with you. It's full of read and cream and a pop of turquoise for some fun!


Check out that felt and cardstock embellishment I created with Spellbinders' die templates. You can create an endless amount of elements using dies, including basic shapes, tags, borders, shaped cards, embellishments, and even mini albums. The world is yours with die templates and that's why I enjoy using them so much.


I created a custom focal point using dies to make a decorative envelope-type element.



As I mentioned yesterday, I just reached the 300,000 hit mark on my blog and I'm continuing to celebrate my gratitude for my blog readers and browsers, so I have arranged another giveaway for the week. The blog giveaway prize contents are shared in the video. Please make sure you review the rules below. You must comment on this blog post to enter to win (not YouTube, Facebook or Twitter).

*Please note: I will ship prize to contest winners around the first week of December, if not sooner. This allows me to make one trip to the Post Office, instead of multiple trips.


I hope you enjoy the video. Click here to watch it on YouTube.

  30. I love making cards that can be for anything, thank you, birthday, sympathy, whatever. I usually make the cards and put them aside and when I need a card it can rise to the occasion so to speak. I add the appropriate sentiment or specific embellishment at that time. For some reason I always need cards at the last minute and I don't have time to make an entire card.
    Thank you for sharing your cards and projects, they are an inspiration. Rebecca

    As for the type of card I love to make, I adore making the "just because" cards. I have so much fun styling them to each person's personality.
    I also send out random RAK postcards to strangers. I love picking someone from the phonebook & just sending them out. Sometimes I wonder what the recipient's response is but always hope that I can create a smile for their day.
    Thank you for all your inspiration & the chance to win some creativity goodies.

  62. Definitely CHRISTMAS! I have been creating around Christmas ever since I can remember. If not more I would just sit with my brother under our fresh Christmas tree and create new decorations. This year I got into Christmas mood way earlier than normal and I already created many cards and home decor items. Every year I seem to have a favorite color scheme. This year it's chocolate, craft, cream and gold. Last year was turquoise, white and silver.

  140. I love making "Just Because" cards-cards that say "Hi I'm thinking of you!" we often forget that everyday is a reason to contact people we love or those we have lost touch with. A special card lifts the spirits and warms the heart.
