Monthly Madness December 2020!

Hello!  I am a little bit late on getting the December samples ready to show you, but I did get my cards made (thank goodness I know someone who makes kits...lol!) and I also made about 70 cards, mostly not from kits for special orders.  This weekend I worked non stop to get the December samples made.  I got tickled because I was listening to Christmas music while making Valentine cards!  Only in my world!  Yes, December kits are Valentine.  It is a must because since my kits go out the beginning of the following month, you would not have time to make them and send them if I waited until January!  I love how they all came out. I hope you do too!  Before I get to them, just a reminder, all kits are $35 ($30 + $5 shipping) plus everyone gets a bonus card, made by me.  It is just a little thank you for your support of me and my kit business!  And you can skip months if needed, the cost is always the same.  Also, if you need substitutions, I will try to accommodate.  Some of these rules were different when I started this business 2 years ago.  I decided happy customers is the best customers!  Always!  Now, let me show you this month's cards!  Enjoy!

Every month, I try to do a interactive type card and this is the one for this month.  This card has a pull tab to reveal a message.  

As everyone knows, I love cute critters and mice are no exception!  And you also know how much I love the paper to match my stamps!

A special for the inside ...

The next card has a technique.  It is a faux die cut inlay technique where you color an embossed die cut and then when you add the real die cut on top, it looks like you inlaid all the tiny pieces!   So pretty!

Back to more critters.  Gotta have some love birds, right?

As I was making the cards, I realized that I really needed one that could be given to a male or female, so this is what I came up with.  I love this one.  It makes me smile!

Then for my bonus card, I was thinking a New Year's Eve card, but then knowing you would not have it before New Year's, I decided to just do a Happy 2021 card you can send anytime ... well anytime you wanted something silly to send!  

I even I added a funny sentiment on the back of the card!

I will start kitting right away so let me know if you want a kit, especially if you don't regularly get kits every month.  

I do want to say again, how much I appreciate your support of me always!  This year, after losing my full time job to Covid, I have only worked part time and the income from my kits has really made a huge difference.  And of course, we are doing it all again every month next year.  Just a heads up, January theme is Birthday cards!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year!
And Happy Stamping!

Monthly Madness October AND November Card Kits!

Hello!  I decided since both October and November card kits are Christmas that I should get all the samples done at once.  There are several advantages to both you and I.  But, first, I want to very clear that if you pay monthly, this will NOT change this.  You can still pay for a month in October and again in November.  What this will do, is keep my craft room from not looking like Santa's Workshop again in November, which is how it has looked the last week.  Actually, the real reason is to help me save on some shipping costs and allow me to get right to the November kits as soon as the October kits are in the mail.  I am thinking that I should be able to get the November kits to you by Thanksgiving.  I know this would help you out a lot!  Also, I have a least one customer that is Jewish so I made two Hanukkah cards for her to substitute.  This is possible for you to do as well, or maybe you need a Hanukkah for someone, you can do an add-on for $3 each.  I have lots of cards to show you, so we have better get the show started!  Enjoy!

Just a quick reminder, card kits are $35 ($30 + $5 shipping) for 2 of 5 designs plus a bonus card made by me.  And this is whether you skip months or not!  Always the same price!  

OCTOBER:

First, card is a buckle card.  There is a hidden notch to hold the card closed under the snow globe!

On the inside, there is more designer paper to enjoy...

A pretty ornament card ...

Gnomes are all the rage and when I saw this most adorable gnome paper, I had to order a cute gnome to match!  

Here is one of the religious cards.  So elegant ...

When I was looking thru all the stamps I own (let's don't discuss how many...lol!), I saw this stamp and thought it would pair just perfect with this paper ...

Here is my bonus cards for October ...

Next ... NOVEMBER Card Kits ...

First, is a card with the just most adorable image of these little carolers...

When I was looking for a sentiment for the inside, I found this one ... how perfect!

Slimline cards, we did one a couple of months ago, so I thought we should do another.  This one has a fun fold, as it opens diagonally ...

This is the religious one for this month ...  Love this sweet nativity.  

I combined an old Hero Arts stamp with some pretty new paper ...
(I know the stamp is old by the price tag it had on it, as it came from my store, when in the beginning I was giving each company a letter, and a number.  In this case, D42!)

Must have a winter, snowman card ...

This is my bonus card!  Love this one!  

ALTERNATE OR ADD-On ($3) CARD KITS...

I know I made these, but I really do feel like the two sets of cards (10 designs) are very well rounded and will help you to have a great variety of cards to make and send.  Let me know that you want the kits, and also if you need the add- on ones.  

Happy Stamping!

Monthly Madness September 2020

Hello!  Right on time, I have my September card kit samples ready to show you.  This month's theme is Halloween!  Not much scary, but a whole lot of cute!  Before I get to the cards, just a reminder, the card kits are $35 for 2 of 5 designs plus a bonus card, made by me.  And it includes shipping.  There are no commitments and the cost is the same even if you skip a month.  Yes, I started out a year and a half ago, with a plan to charge more if you skipped months, but I have given that up, as it is important to me to help you, which helps me.  I so appreciate the months you do purchase from me!  Okay, now let's get to them.  Enjoy!

First, card is about trick or treat, with a super fun fold on the inside ...

And the inside shows the "W" fold ...

So, I am sure you have seen many cards in a new size that is quite trendy.  They are called Slimlines and the cards will fit in a #10 size business envelope.  Well, I decided since we ARE card makers, we should be trendy too!  This one is so cute ...

And the inside ...

Next, is all about jack o'lanterns ...

This paper had images of potions and spells so I thought a witch with a big 'ole cauldron, would be a perfect match!

And then we have ghosts and a fun haunted house!

And last but not least, my bonus card.  There is a confession to be made here.  You see I actually cut these coffin shaped cards, stamped all the mummy images, and cut out little arms and hands about 3 years ago for a save the date card, but party got cancelled and they got put in a bag in a drawer.  I came across them recently and thought, well I could revamp them!  So, I added pattern paper, a few stamps and dies, and voila ... a darn cute bonus card is created ...

That is my kit for September. Great cards to send to put a smile on someone's face!  Be sure to let me know if you want the kit this month!

Thank you!
Happy Stamping!
