 We have a new mini release live today at Unity Stamp Co. and I couldn't resist colouring up these sweet little mice!

2026 Christmas Card Count = 10 + 4 = 14

 It's my friend, Natasha's birthday today! She has a tropical trip coming up and I just couldn't help but picture her when I saw this new set from Unity Stamp Co. being released today!

 I have some students starting their final practicum this week and I wanted to make them a card! I pulled out some products I haven't had a chance to play with yet along with some gouache paint that I have never tried! My friend, Tammy, started #craftyourstash2026 so this looked like the perfect opportunity to play along!

Here is the last Christmas card I have made for 2025! I have a few more that I made that I have not posted, but I did reach my goal of making over 100 cards - yay!

2025 Christmas Card Count: 88 + 3 = 91

 This cute little deer came along with the Unity Stamp Co. *affiliate link October Kit of the Month and I finally took some time to colour him up with my Tombow markers!

2025 Christmas Card Count: 30 + 7 = 37

I couldn't resist making up a fall coffee card with this Unity Stamp Co. set! There is an amazing promo on them all until tomorrow!

 This past weekend I got to take part in the coolest crafting class I have ever experienced with the amazing Tim Holtz and Heidi Crowl (owner of Simon Says Stamp). I LOVED using this specially curated kit to get started on my Christmas stash for the upcoming season and also learn some new tips and tricks!

2025 Christmas Card Count: 1
2025 Christmas Tag Count: 4

 I haven't taken these out for the longest time, and as soon as I started playing around, I really loved it! 

 More Winnie the Pooh! This time, I took out an Eeyore set from Unity Stamp Co. along with my Tombow markers to create a watercolour scene.

 I couldn't help but make up another Winnie The Pooh card!

 I wanted to do some watercolour and decided to take out an older set from Studio Katia. I decided I wanted to cluster my poinsettias and took out the Gina K. Masking Magic Strips to test out - and I loved them! Super easy to use and beautiful results.

 I love sunflowers and so when I saw this stunning image put out by Studio Katia this spring in support of Ukraine, I just couldn't wait to paint it.

 Be sure to check out my reel on making this card on Instagram! I happen to have a few special people in my life who have a birthday this month, and if you can believe it, all three of them like the colour red! I just had to pull out the Happy Tulips from Studio Katia again and paired them with scripty Happy set.

 I fell in love with these Happy Tulips from Studio Katia and just HAD to colour them up with my Tombow markers! 

 My baby turns one this weekend and to celebrate we had a penguin party! Coincidentally, Lawn Fawn, came out with a set this fall called Penguin Party and of course it was perfect for what I wanted to create! I started out by colouring up all of the penguins with my Tombow markers.

 It's the Fall | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! I couldn't resist creating a coffee card set using the Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Fresh Brewed Blueprint set.

 I was so excited to start working on this card to celebrate our nephew's 4th birthday after taking Jenn Shurkus' Scootin' By course. I learned so many great tips for colouring and stenciling - especially with this new Lawn Fawn set! Our nephew loves to scooter and I really wanted to create an interactive card for him.

 Did you know that the Caesar is Canada's national drink? I did not! Here, on this stamp, it is called a Bloody Mary - I definitely like our name better! I absolutely love these blueprint stamps by Tim Holtz. I was very inspired by my Aunt's recent cards with them and she very kindly sent out some blank ones for me to colour up - thanks, Auntie Karen!

 My lovely Auntie Karen sent me a fun crafty package in the mail the other week! Inside were a couple of these Pinkfresh Studio Floral Notes stamped on watercolour paper. I took out my Tombow markers and got to work! I am linking up with the Pinkfresh Studio  anything goes monthly challenge.

 I've had these beautiful Canson watercolour cards for awhile and I guess I have been saving them to use on a special occasion! I needed to make two thank you cards for work and also a nice birthday card for someone special. I decided to create some bouquets with daisies and eucalyptus.
