Neptune's Mond wishing upon a star


 Only 5 days until Christmas!!!
Goodness, where has the time gone?
This morning I am sharing a creation done with Neptune's Mond and Wish Upon a Star. I kept it monochromatic using almost amethyst and a deep purple for Neptune. I also used a compass stencil and a compass embossing folder. A bit of distressed organza, sheer ribbon and it's complete! Find all the crafty goodness here and use my code TJ10Pam at checkout!

Merry Christmas!

Creativity Challenge ~ Winter Weather



Hello TJ Friends!
Today’s card was designed for the “Winter Weather” creativity challenge.
I hope you’ll agree …I kept this one simple. 

I used one rubber stamp - Fir forest and stamped it along the bottom of a light blue card then layered it on a slightly larger piece of black.
To make the snow along the bottom I used a mixed media modeling paste called Cloud whip.
Next I randomly put dots of glue on the trees and sky then sprinkled with a glitter mix called winter storm.
I finished it with the die cut words and mounted this on a blue glitter card base.
I hope this inspires you to take another look at your tree rubber stamps. They are a wonderful addition to your stamp collection because of the versatility they have. 
Before I go - Don’t forget about the BIG 40% OFF SALE. Last day is December 18th. And you can add my TJ Design Team Coupon code (TJ10AJ) for additional savings!

Happy Winter ( and Autumn ) Wishes

Deb here to show you another fabulous stamp set included in the December Inventory Reduction Sale . There is a 40% discount on all of these sale stamps - the discount appears when you add the item to your shopping cart , AND if you use my code - TJ10Deb - you can save even more !! 


The price of the Happy Winter Wishes stamp set that I used for my cards is originally $12.95 . It drops to $7.77 with the 40% discount and with my code, you will get the stamp at a price of $6.99 .. I love the versatility of this set - I made an Autumn card and a Winter card with these stamps . 





  • I stamped the rabbit image on a piece of white cardstock and also on a piece of Kraft.
  • The images were then colored with my COPICS and fussy-cut.
  • I also stamped the scarf area of the rabbit stamp onto a piece of Autumn patterned paper and a piece of Winter patterned paper .
  • The scarfs were also then fussy-cut.
  • I adhered the scarfs to each of the completed rabbits.
  • The sentiments were stamped on cardstock and then cut with a square die and a round die.
  • I chose 2 coordinating patterns of paper - One set with Autumn colors and the other with Winter/Christmas colors.
  • I cut the patterned papers on a diagonal  and adhered the coordinating papers to a mint green card base ( the Winter card ) and a Kraft base ( the Autumn card ) .     
  • The rabbits were adhered to the card bases .
  • The sentiments were popped up with foam tabs.


Don't you just love when you can change the color scheme on a card and create a whole different look !?!?!? I hope that you like my cards .. I hope you will create some of your own.. Don't forget to check out the BIG sale .. AND use my code. The other Design Team members have also created projects to share with you .. I hope that you look at them also ..

Leopard is my favorite color

Hello TJ Friends,

Do you already have the Leopard Set of 6 stamps?  If you do I’d love to see your card creations.
This was my first time to play with this set and WOW did I have fun. The long leopard print stamp really does a good job breaking up a plain background in an interesting and fun way.
I think these 4 card designs are pretty straightforward. I will mention that on the Merry Christmas card I used a long piece of foam that had a round end to add an additional pattern to the background.
Stamps used:
Leopard Set of 6  This set is on the 40% Off sale through Dec 18th
Dapper Doggie Couple This set is also 40% Off through Dec 18th
Use my TJ Design Team coupon code (TJ10AJ) for additional savings at checkout!
Thanks for stopping by.

Lights of Christmas

 Hello! 

Are you ready for Christmas yet?   In truth, I haven't really started.   I don't really want to think about how all the things I need to do.  I hope you are finding time for relax and enjoy this magical time of year.  If you are looking for a fast card to mass produce for your Christmas cards... I got you covered! 

 I colored the lights in sparkle gel pen. They really shine. I wish the camera could pick it up.  You will just have to trust.  I wanted to add the lights to a tree.  I went about it in an out of the box way.  I used the negative space so I could still use the entire background stamp.   I added a gold star on the top of the tree.  This would be a great card to mass produce for Christmas.  

 I don't know who makes the small Christmas tree die.  It has been in my stash forever.
