Thankful Thursday with Timeless Tidings

"Merry Christmas..." Stamp and Inking Technique Card 
with Timeless Tidings

The tutorial for today focuses on the Timeless Tidings Stamp Set.  The Timeless Tidings Project Kit is amazing, but the stamp set has so much to offer as well!  There are THREE different stamping techniques used in the tree panel on the card, so be sure to check out the tutorial below!

Thankful Thursday

September is finally here and so many people are looking forward to the holidays coming in the following months.  For several family members, fall is the best time of year.  We are looking forward to the colors, the smells, and the fall flavors (although pumpkin spice is not my choice).  Even though Autumn is upon us, I am still thankful for the beautiful, although hot and muggy weather.  Summer is one of my favorite times and I love that we can enjoy a meal on a patio or sit on the deck and enjoy the hummingbirds.  I am thankful for every moment I get to spend outdoors and with those I love.

What's more, any order of $50 or more this week will also get you a full pack of Pearl Basic Jewels FREE.  How's that for wizardry?  Be sure to use the promo code below and follow my link to order with me to get this awesome addition to your crafting necessities.

YouTube Tuesday with Timeless Tidings

Welcome to another YouTube Tuesday!!!!


In the YouTube Tuesday video below, I have taken the Timeless Tidings Stamp Set and Project Kit and made a new design with a few added supplies.  This project uses the front side of the card base we cut up and used from yesterday's tutorial, so if you missed it, be sure to go check it out!  You won't be wasting any of those marvelous patterned card bases if I can help it!

YouTube Tuesday:  Timeless Tidings Alternative Project




Kits are a great way to get started with paper crafting or stamping.  They also are perfect for those who would like to have a handmade touch to their gifting but don't have a lot of time to invest in creating them.  And if you like to pave a different way, this week is dedicated to providing alternative projects you can make in a snap.

Timeless Tidings Project Kit


The Timeless Tidings Project Kit comes with 5 each in 4 designs: 20 cards.  


Each design includes gold foil stickers and tags to make your holiday card making a snap.


And to help you line up those stickers, each card design includes a line or print area for you to get them perfectly straight.  But if you are a person who likes to follow a different path, below is an additional project you can make with a few extra supplies.
