    Baby Christening & Wedding Cards | by Jennifer Svare

    Hello! Although the String Art Nativity Star craft die makes a beautiful Christmas card, I wanted to show some other ideas that can be used any time of year. Baby Christening or Dedication? Baptism? Wedding? This is beautiful for any of those events, simply change up the colors! The photos don’t catch this, but I’ve…

    Hello! Today’s card combines coordinating elements from the very versatile Belle Ornament Layer Set, Christmas Ornament and Labels stamp/die set, along with a very festive Big Joy Sugar Script! The ornament die from the stamp set is just slightly larger than the ornament from the Belle layering set, so it created a fun border of…

    Frosty Snowflake Mini-Card | by Jennifer Svare

    Hello! Today I’ve combined the new Frosty Flake layers along with the Pinpoint Snowflake used as a background to create a mini card or gift tag. The gorgeous layers were white-on-white, with a soft dusting of blue distress oxide gradient on the bottom layer. I call it a “mini card” because it’s smaller than a…

    Turning a Lid into a Box | by Jennifer Svare

    Hello! Today I am using two die cuts from just a lid to create a small box. It’s a great size to make small favors, place setting embellishments- many occasions and seasons! Above shows this as a name place holder for a Thanksgiving place setting. I simply wrote the name with a gold pen. These…

    Hello! Today I’ve made some cozy card inspiration to send along some warm hugs and wishes! These cards are made from wool felt. It’s cold and rainy here in Idaho today, so I had Pendleton blankets on the mind while making these. So cozy! Felt is very easy to die cut but I have a…

    Hello! Today I’ve made two types of votives to share. They are both made the same way, but one is open on the top, and the others are made to cover a flameless candle. I’ve used the beautiful Grandiose Mini Tile layer set for the walls of the votives, and when the center is cut…

    Elegant Clip | by Jennifer Svare

    Hello! Today I’m sharing how I made a magnetized clip or book mark using the gorgeous Frilly Triangle Layer Set. I started off with a 3-1/8″ x 3-1/8″ square piece of kraft card stock, and scored it down the middle. The extra 1/8″ accounts for the 1/8″ score line. I then used the die set…

    Making Small Gifts Special | by Jennifer Svare

    This card has been created to hold a small gift. It’s a great way to present “a little something” extra inside a card such as a tea with a packet of honey, or a package of seeds, necklace, small pen, or notepad – anything that is about 1/4″ thick. Today I’m going to show how…

    Hello! Shadow dies are so versatile and can be used as either a background for the letters, a window, or as in this case – both! The sentiment is actually on the inside of the card, so is visible when opened. Here the shadow die was also used for a background for the word. I…
