When I saw this gorgeous digi from Fred She Said, called Pumpkins & Sunflowers,

  I went looking for some of my card base making dies and thought this one would show case it the best.

I used the Card Frame - SL370 die from Studio Light Essentials to create this circle flip card.

Orange and brown cardstocks are from my old stock from GinaK.  The digi was printed on photo paper.  The patterned paper is from The Duo Design Paper Pad - Bright Blooms & Trailing Leaves from Hunkydory.

On the inside of the flip circle, I created a mat using the Silhouette.  This is where I will write my personal message.

This card measures 6" x 5.5" when closed for mailing.  I'm using a 6" square card for mine.

And that is all for today friends.  Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope I was able to inspire you to come play along with us.  You have until noon, CST, on 7 October 2025, to link your project to our challenge.

A note from Rachelle Anne Miller:

I am an artist & designer living in the beautiful Adelaide Hills in South Australia with my husband and three amazing children! I love to create and am especially drawn to all things cute. I've worked on children's books, greeting cards, craft supplies, children's room décor, tech accessories, and more. I love to bring out joy and imagination in my art and create something a little different to inspire and make you smile.

* * * * * * * * * *

If you're one of my followers then you guessed it right!  This is definitely going to be a Christmas in July kinda card 😀  So using  Letter to Santa from RAM Stamps, and a file from Silhouette, I created this Bendi Christmas card.

I worked a little magic on the Silhouette and was able to weld the digi to the card.  Then I printed it again and used copic markers to colour it in, and adhered it to the card.

Here is a close up of this sweet digi.  I personally think it's adorable. 

On the back I created a panel to write my personal message.  I cut out a couple of extra trees and adhered them to this panel to add a little interest.  The Christmas greeting was cut out using a die and shadow from Cottage Cutz.

 When folded flat for mailing, this card measures 7" x 5" and fits perfectly into an A9 envelope.

And that is all for today folks.  Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit.  I would love to you see you play along with us.  You have until noon, CST, on 9 September 2025, to link your project to our challenge.

Crafty hugs and best wishes for a fun and safe Summer!

With hubby's birthday coming up in June, I used the pre-coloured Hole in One Hal & Hole in One Hal Backing Paper from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps and made this fancy fold card for him.

I cut and used the background in three separate sections.  I used the golf course background for the center piece of this center fold card.  Then I used the golf balls to make the two side pieces.  

I print and cut Hal 5 times and adhered each layer to each other to create a little dimension. 

I adhered a golf cart to the right side of the card and ...

and golf ball on a tee to the left.  I also cut a piece of grass to go right across the front of the card.

Remember I mentioned above that I had cut the background into 3 pieces?  Well here is the 3rd piece.  I love these digis! All elements go well with each other and makes it very easy to put it all together.  When folded for mailing this card measures 7" x 5" and fits perfectly into an A7 envelope.

And that is all for today folks.  Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit.  I would love to you see you play along with us.  You have until noon, CST, on 8 July 2025, to link your project to our challenge.

As you all know by now, my favourite cards to make are Christmas and you can never start too early :-)  So, using the gorgeous pre-coloured digi, called Lilly Christmas, I created this fancy fold card.

The fancy fold was created using a file from Silhouette.

Pattern paper is from my scraps drawer. I went with the stripes to keep the focus on this gorgeous digi.

Here is a close up of this cutie.

I kept the inside very simple.  I made a little poinsettia using the Small Blooming Poinsettia dies from Poppy Stamps, and stamped a greeting using VersaFine Black Onyx ink.  It is from a very old wood stamp called Vintage Season's Greetings from Stampabilities.

And that is all for today folks.  Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit.  I would love to you see you play along with us.  You have until noon, CST, on 10 June 2025, to link your project to our challenge.

Since I'm short on Easter cards and Easter is just a couple of weeks away, I made a card using a digi from each of our sponsors.

For my first card, I used Party Balloon Bunny Rabbit from Polkadoodles.

For my second card, I used  Easter on Wheels from The Paper Shelter.

I used a file from Silhouette for each of the card bases.  The first card's base is design number 404111 and for the second card, I used design number 348017.  Both are box card formats and both fold flat for mailing. Both digis were printed on to photo paper.  Coloured cardstocks used were from scraps drawers.  Cardstock bases are both from The Paper Studio.  And before you think that my colouring skills have improved drastically, I want to let you know that both digis were pre-coloured 😀

And that crosses off "grandchildren Easter cards" off of my list.  

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I would love to you see you play along with us.  You have until noon, CST, on 13 May 2025, to link your project to our challenge.
