Today's forecast: 100% chill. Honestly, the fox has the right idea. ๐ฆ๐
I brought one of my favorites from Allison Frazier's Summer Camp Collection into fall using the new Harvest Style and Harvest Days dies from @teamspellbinders. A basket of apples, a cozy sweater, and absolutely no sense of urgency. Goals.
All the product details are on my blog and linked in my bio!

Introducing: ๐ CARD DATING!
A fun new series where I give a card (or a character on one) a dating profile. You can choose to swipe right and no one will judge. :-)
Meet: Chompette, 32
Snack enthusiast. Fabulous hat. Questionable boundaries around french fries.
Green flags: Shares dessert. Shows up hungry. Excellent brunch companion.
Red flags: No concept of portion control. Your fries are now our fries.
Her ideal first date?
Brunch. Dessert. Second dessert. ๐
Would you swipe โค๏ธ or โ on Chompette?
The card that inspired her profile, along with all the product details, is on my blog and linked in my bio!
https://www.studio-jd.com/snack-goals-card-dating/
I had Snack Goals. Chomper had other ideas. ๐
I combined the new One More Bite and Top It Off dies from the Snack Goals Collection with an old favorite, Chomper from the Just Add Cake Birthday Box. A little rainbow ink blending later, and Chompette was born.
And yes...she has a dating profile now. More on that soon. ๐

This guy showed up for Christmas with a candy cane nearly as big as he is. Priorities. ๐
For my second Spellbinders October Clubs card, I used the same playful palette but gave the dinosaur a bold red background. It keeps the two cards feeling like a little collection without making them identical.
Both cards are together on the blog, with supplies available through Shop my Cards or my link in bio.

The holiday spirit made me wear this. ๐
I kept this Spellbinders October Clubs card simple and let the warm, playful colors do their thing. A little twine, a few clear embellishments, and one very cheerful snowman.

Soft Contrast for a Calm Design
This Studio Notes feature looks at how gentle value shifts can shape the mood of a card.
Highlights
โจ Soft contrast creates calm and cohesion
โจ Gentle tones guide the eye quietly
โจ Not every design needs drama to stand out
In this card, subtle color and value changes define the focal point without relying on bold contrast, giving the design a serene and balanced feel.
You can read the full Studio Notes post on the blog.

Fall colors, but make them a little less… fall. ๐๐ฉต
For my final STAMPtember® 2026 projects, I paired warm oranges, yellows and rusty reds with soft aqua, and I LOVE how much that one color changes the whole mood.
These two cards feature the new Graceful Moments stamps, stencils and dies along with the new Watering Can die set, part of Simon Says Stamp's special Stamps + Stencils Spotlight.
One design stayed clean and simple. The other got ALL the flowers. Apparently I contain multitudes. ๐
These products will be replenished if they sell out, and there's also a Flash Sale happening for the spotlight release. Check Simon Says Stamp for all the current sale details.
And that, friends, is my last STAMPtember® project. WHEW. ๐

Big, open petals are my weakness. The more room I have to play with color, the happier I am. ๐
For my latest Altenew Ambassador project, I used the Flowers & Flourishes stamp, die, and stencil bundle. I let those gorgeous blooms take center stage and kept the background soft and simple. Purple was pretty much inevitable.

Apparently subtle colors weren't invited to this one. ๐๐
Today's Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® 2026 collaboration is with @pinkfreshstudio, featuring the exclusive Grace and Gratitude stamps, stencils, and coordinating die.
I went straight for bright pink and fresh green, then kept everything else crisp and white. I especially love how the florals create their own loose frame around that beautiful sentiment without needing much else.
STAMPtember® collaboration sets are limited edition and available only while supplies last, so if this one is calling your name, don't wait too long!

There's always room for one more thing.
With this one, I really wanted to resist that urge. The fresh blue and green palette already had plenty of personality, and I loved all that beautiful white space. So instead of filling it, I let it be part of the design.
A little texture, a few finishing details, and then... hands off. ๐

My kind of Halloween: more BOO than boo. ๐ป๐
The special BOO Bundle has arrived for Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® 2026, and these little ghosts were far too cute for anything genuinely scary.
I made two cards using the new Sweet Spirits stamps and coordinating dies along with the Boo Crew Embossing Folder, stencils and dies, keeping both bright, playful and full of Halloween personality.
And because I can never quite leave well enough alone, one card also includes a giant candy corn made from an egg die in my stash. Turns out Easter and Halloween have more in common than we thought. ๐
The complete BOO Bundle is limited edition, while the individual products I used will be replenished.

Just because there's another layer doesn't mean I have to use it. ๐
Today's Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® 2026 collaboration is with Concord & 9th!
The new Incredibly Grateful set is a layering stamp set that includes a background, but once I had those flowers stamped, I realized I liked all that open white space more.
So I stopped.
Honestly, knowing when to stop may be one of the harder card-making skills. ๐
I finished it off with a little gold and called this one done.

Apparently flat flowers weren't going to be enough for me. ๐๐ผ
Today brings another special Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® 2026 release, this time spotlighting a new collection of embossing folders with coordinating stencils!
I chose the new Splendid Daisies Embossing Folder, Stencils and Dies, and I loved the idea of letting a few of those flowers escape the background.
After stenciling everything in sunny yellows and soft greens, I die cut several blooms and layered them over the embossed design with their petals gently shaped upward. That little bit of dimension completely changed the feel of the card.
Then I added one tiny "hello" because the daisies were already doing plenty of talking. ๐ผ
There are several new embossing folder + stencil designs releasing today, and Simon Says Stamp is also celebrating with another Flash Sale, so be sure to check out the details!
These new products will be replenished, too.

If a Christmas tree gives me little places to sneak in some gold, I'm going to take advantage of every single one. โจ
The dimension built into this tree gave me the perfect opportunity to add something unexpected underneath, and metallic gold cardstock was an easy choice.
Those little flashes of gold change as the card moves, while the clean shape and all that white space keep things from getting too fussy.
I repeated the gold in a few finishing details and then exercised an impressive amount of self-control by stopping there. ๐
This card features the Dimensional Tree die set from the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® release.

I think my haunted house is more cute-creepy than actual creepy. I'm okay with that. ๐ป๐
There's another special release happening for Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® 2026 today, featuring a brand-new collection of embossing folders with coordinating dies!
I chose the new Creepy Mansion Embossing Folder and Dies and kept my mansion almost completely neutral, which gave me the perfect excuse to go BIG with that yellow moon and glowing windows.
Then the ghosts showed up. And the bats. You know how these things go. ๐ป๐ฆ
There are several new embossing folder + die designs being released today, and Simon Says Stamp is also celebrating with a Flash Sale, so be sure to check out the details!

If you're going to throw confetti, you might as well sneak a little sparkle in there too. ๐โจ
Today's Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® 2026 collaboration is with Trinity Stamps, and their new Confetti Yeti stamps and coordinating dies could not be much cuter.
I went with a full rainbow of color and then scattered a few Rainbow Splash gems right in among the confetti. They blend into the party until the light catches them, which is exactly the kind of sneaky sparkle I can get behind. ๐

I was going for a little "Christmas, but make it fancy" with this one. โจ
Today's Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® 2026 collaboration is with Honey Bee Stamps!
I used the Holly Jolly Frames stamps and dies, heat embossing the frame and sentiment in gold for a more regal feel. Then I brought in the classic Christmas color with a tiny holly image colored with my OLO markers.
And then I did something rather remarkable: I embraced all that white space and left it alone. ๐

This sentiment pretty much decided the direction of the whole card for me. โค๏ธ
Today's Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® 2026 collaboration is with Gina K Designs!
The special collaboration includes stamps, coordinating stencils, and dies, and I went with a mix of pinks and reds that felt bright and happy without getting too sweet.
But I kept coming back to that sentiment, so I gave it some breathing room and let everything else work around it.

Well, Obviously I Needed the Fox
I collect foxes.... so...this was inevitable.
I mean... did anyone really expect me to pass up this little guy? ๐ฆ
The new Sitting Fable Fox from the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® release gave me the perfect excuse to dig through my stash and bring out a few older fall favorites.
Leaves, acorns, warm autumn color, and one ridiculously cute fox later, here we are.
I really do love mixing new products with things I already own. And if it also justifies my inability to resist another fox, even better. ๐

I have never related to a turkey more. ๐
He's stuffed. He's horizontal. He's clearly finished participating in the day.
The "Stuffed with gratitude" sentiment made the whole thing even better, so I leaned into his post-feast situation and gave him a nighttime setting with a big moon behind him.
I also carried over the same deeper blue I used on my owl card from this month's Spellbinders Clubs. It's not the first color you might think of for a Thanksgiving card, but I love how it makes all those warm oranges and yellows pop.
Frankly, though, this guy could have been sitting on plain white cardstock and I still would have loved him. ๐

Apparently I'm still not done with blue flowers. And I see no reason to apologize for that. ๐๐
Today's Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® 2026 collaboration is with Alex Syberia Designs!
I colored the new Graceful Blooms with my OLO markers, going all in on those gorgeous blues and greens with just a tiny hit of yellow for contrast.
With blooms this big and beautiful, I really didn't want to make things complicated. Color them, give them a little dimension, and let them do their thing.

Fall Has Entered the Chat ๐
My two cards for the Spellbinders September Clubs may have very different personalities, but I tied them together with the same rich fall palette.
Along with the expected oranges, yellows, and warm neutrals, I brought in deep blues and greens for a little extra contrast. And now I'm wondering why I don't use dark blue on fall cards more often. ๐๐
Club members can get this month's designs as part of their September subscriptions, and club products are also available to non-members later in the month, while supplies last.

Baa-la-la
Christmas cards could use more sheep. ๐
A little Christmas card with a lot of personality. ๐๐
I used OLO markers to add bright rainbow color to the lamb and Christmas lights, then kept everything else crisp and white. The layered scalloped edges add dimension without making the design feel busy, which means our tiny Christmas caroler gets to remain the star of the show.
This one was created for the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® release!

A little rainbow color and a whole lot of holiday personality ๐๐
For this @simonsaysstamp
STAMPtember® card, I kept things clean and bright with lots of white space, layered scalloped edges, and pops of rainbow color from my OLO markers.
I especially love that little strand of colorful lights across the top. It gives the whole design just enough color without stealing the spotlight from my tiny Santa-hatted vocalist. ๐

Today's Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® 2026 collaboration is with Altenew!
I kept the design intentionally quiet around that beautiful hydrangea, with cool shades of purple, fresh green, and plenty of white space. A little thread and a few finishing details were really all I wanted to add.

Same color palette. VERY different personalities. ๐๐
It's CZ Day for Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® 2026, and I made two cards with the new CZ Design products to celebrate.
One went bright, floral, and sweet with the new Sketch Florals stamps and dies.
The other took the purple and headed directly to the dark side with the Oh My Goth stamps and dies and Oh My Goth Words die. ๐ฆ
I genuinely love them both, although "OH MY GOTH!" may now be permanently stuck in my vocabulary.
These new CZ Design products are part of the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® celebration and will be replenished, so no limited-collaboration panic required!

I think this little guy has found his ideal landing spot. ๐ฆ๐
Give me a cute owl and a pile of fall leaves and I'm already pretty happy, but I especially loved playing with the color on this one.
Instead of sticking entirely with traditional autumn shades, I worked some deep blue and green into the foliage. It gives all those oranges and yellows a little more contrast and makes the whole palette feel richer.
Add a moon, a few stars, and those enormous eyes... done. ๐

Stained Glass Snowflake & Blog Party
I only wanted the snowflake. So the snowflake is what I used. ๐โ๏ธ
Instead of creating the full stained-glass panel, I concentrated on the individual snowflake inlay and pushed it up into the corner, letting parts of the design disappear right off the card.
That left me with lots of white space and one big hit of those cool blues, turquoise, and violet I love together.
A few silver details and I called it done.

Some school memories never really leave you.
Opening a brand new box of pencils.
Trying not to use your favorite one first.
The smell of freshly sharpened wood.
This month's Together by Design theme was "school," and somehow I found myself smiling while creating this colorful thank you card.
Funny how the smallest memories stick with us.

Boo-Yah! No Stitching Required!
A stitching die? Sure. Actual stitching? Nope. ๐
I believe in using craft supplies however they make me happy. And stitching does not make me happy. ๐
The Stitching Ghost is designed to be stitched, but I loved the pierced border exactly as it was, so I left it alone and let those little holes become part of the design.
No needle. No thread. Still a very cute ghost. ๐ป
And then there are those tiny candy corns. I turned them into a little garland because apparently miniature paper candy is one of my weaknesses. ๐งก๐

Happy STAMPtember! It's day 1 and I'm so, so excited for all the fun in store for the month. :-)
I'm kicking it off with this fun ghost card.
And, yes, I'm still not stitching.... but I *am* still using the stitching dies. ๐
At this point, I think we can safely say needle and thread just aren't going to become part of my card-making personality.
But I loved this little ghost, and those stitching holes? I think they're pretty cute all by themselves.
That's the fun part. The intended use doesn't have to be the only use. I left the pierced details completely unstitched and made the design work for me instead.
And then I gave him a candy corn garland because LOOK AT THOSE TINY CANDY CORNS. ๐ฅน๐งก๐

Framing the focal point.
This Studio Notes feature looks at how simple framing can bring structure and clarity to a card design.
โจ Framing guides where the eye lands
โจ Defined boundaries create balance
โจ Subtle structure keeps a design intentional
In this card, a quiet frame helps contain the focal elements, giving the sentiment and imagery a clear place to live without feeling boxed in.
You can read the full Studio Notes post on the blog.

Together by Design - School Days
One theme.
Two completely different cards.
This month, Together by Design challenged us with a single word: School.
One card celebrates the teachers who changed our lives.
The other celebrates one of my favorite back-to-school memories...a fresh box of sharpened pencils.
Amazing how one simple theme can spark so many different ideas.

This is my first project as an Altenew Ambassador and I'm so, so excited to have been asked to participate! I wanted to not only highlight the @Altenewllc products I love but also keep to my clean and simple style. So, for this card, I combined soft violet blooms with fresh yellow-green foliage for a clean design that lets the layering do the talking.
Every ink-blended petal builds on the last, and little by little the flowers begin to come alive. It's not a technique I like to rush. If you're interested in watching the full video of how I made this card (including a quick change of plans near the end), the full video is over on my YouTube channel (link in bio).

Sometimes my best ideas start with...
"I wonder if this would work?" ๐ค
There wasn't a stencil for these roads. I simply grabbed the chisel tip of a gray Copic marker and started drawing. A few white gel pen lines later, I had a neighborhood for Frankenstein to wander.
Then I scattered candy along the roads so they became his trick-or-treat stops instead of just random embellishments.
This card is definitely busier than my usual style, but every once in a while it's fun to throw out the rulebook and just play.

I have a confession...
I used a Stitch & Create collection...
...without stitching. ๐
As soon as I saw this boot, I fell in love with the shape and the felt flowers. What I didn't fall in love with was the idea of sewing it together.
So, I didn't.
Instead, I used the dies to cut felt and layered everything onto a card front just like I would with cardstock. The result still has all the warmth and texture of felt, but it fits much better with the way I naturally like to create.
That's one of the things I love about crafting. Supplies don't have rules. They're simply starting points for new ideas.

Haunted by my Life Choices
Halloween...but make it funny. ๐ป๐
This month's Spellbinders Club Kits had me laughing almost as much as crafting.
๐น One adorable monster.
๐ One stack of haunted books.
๐ป A few opinionated ghosts.
๐ And two sentiments that deserve their own T-shirts.
Which one are you choosing?
๐ Hope This Raises Your Spirits
๐ Haunted by My Life Choices
Save these ideas for your Halloween crafting!

An Annual Dose of Adorable
Every year Spellbinders releases a new Halloween pup...and every year I can't resist. ๐ถ๐
At this point it's become one of my favorite little creative traditions. I know the newest pup is going to be adorable, I know I'm going to smile while putting it together, and I know it's going to remind me that crafting is supposed to be fun.
This year's Buzzy Pup-Bee might be my favorite yet. Add in that perfectly sarcastic sentiment and it was impossible not to laugh while making this card.

pssst.... we have a blog hop going on featuring designs using the new dies that coordinate with timholtz stamps - be sure to check out my blog and follow along!
Now a bit about my card:
A window doesn't just frame a scene......it starts a story.
When I received the Simon Says Stamp coordinating dies for timholtz Monster Reunion stamps, I knew I wanted to do more than simply cut out the images. Instead of placing the monsters on the card front, I let them peek through the windows and become unexpected visitors.
It's amazing how one design element can completely change the feel of a card. Suddenly your brain starts asking questions. Are they outside? Inside? Should we answer the door? ๐
I colored the images with OLO markers before using the coordinating dies to build each little Halloween scene.

"Haunted by my life choices."
Honestly...same. ๐
I don't know who wrote this sentiment, but I feel seen.
This card made me laugh from the moment I put the books together. The little ghosts floating overhead, the dripping candles, and the tiny pumpkin all feel like they're judging me just a little...and they're probably right.
Sometimes the sentiment is the whole design.
Created with the Spellbinders August Club Kits.

The Little Fox that Stole the Show
Me: I don't need another fox stamp...
Also me: Adds to cart immediately. ๐ฆ๐
Then I noticed the little hedgehog...
...and I was completely sold.
This sweet pair made this card almost impossible to resist.
โจ Save this one if you have a favorite critter that always wins you over.

Quietly A Favorite
You know a product is good when...
...you finish one card...
...and immediately start thinking about the next one. ๐ธ
That's exactly what happened with this floral die.
I sat down to make one card and walked away with a notebook full of ideas for three more.
Those are the products I love most.
โจ Save this one if you're a floral lover too.

Stories in Ink
Some stamp sets inspire techniques. Others inspire restraint.
This collection reminded me that beautiful illustrations don't always need elaborate backgrounds or dozens of extra details. Sometimes the best design decision is simply giving the artwork enough room to breathe.
I think we spend so much time asking, "What else should I add?" that we forget to ask, "Is anything else actually needed?"
That little shift completely changed how I approached this collection.

https://www.studio-jd.com/stories-in-ink/
One of my favorite parts of cardmaking is that every new collection teaches me something.
This one reminded me that illustrations can carry an entire design if we let them.
Instead of treating the stamped images like individual elements that needed decorating, I started thinking of them as pages from a storybook.
That subtle mindset shift made every design decision feel different, from the amount of white space to where the sentiment belonged.
It's funny how a new product can change not just what you create, but how you think while you're creating.

Why scale matters more than detail.
This Studio Notes feature focuses on how size alone can establish impact in a design.
Highlights
โจ Large focal elements create visual hierarchy
โจ Scale adds presence without extra detail
โจ Simplicity feels intentional when size is considered
In this card, the oversized panel carries the scene, allowing minimal shapes and soft details to feel complete and balanced without visual clutter.

He Had Me at "Moo"
Some products make you think.
Others just make you smile. ๐ฎ
This little cow was an instant favorite.
I sat down planning to make a card...
...and ended up grinning the entire time I was coloring him.
โจ Save this one if you're a sucker for cute critters!

Together by Design - A Playful Endearment
https://www.studio-jd.com/together-by-design-a-playful-endearment/
Same die.
Same challenge.
A whole bunch of completely different ideas.
This month, the Together by Design team created with the @czdesign "Simple Ho" die, embracing the playful way "ho" has become a term of endearment among close friends.
Here's where my creativity took me.
Be sure to visit the rest of the team and see where theirs went:

One product.
A group of designers.
Completely different ideas.
That's what I love about Together by Design.
This month, we all created with the @czdesign "Simple Ho" die.
Instead of thinking only about Christmas, I embraced the playful way "ho" has become an ironic term of endearment among close friends. I think a few of my fellow designers did the same….but you'll have to check out their posts to be sure. ;-)
I kept my card clean, colorful, and just a little cheeky. ๐
Now go check out what everyone else created. I guarantee no two cards are alike.

This card was created with products from the Simon Says Stamp Every Happiness release for today's blog hop. Be sure to stop by my blog for hop details!
Now… a bit about this card….
It started with one very simple thought...
"What if the critters had one BIG pinwheel instead of four little ones?"
The only problem?
I didn't have a giant pinwheel die.
So, I grabbed some cardstock, did a little measuring, crossed my fingers, and made one by hand.
To make it even more fun, I attached it to a wobble spring so it happily wiggles whenever someone picks up the card.
I'm pretty sure these little critters approve. ๐

Hey, Boo! Let’s Chill.
What if Halloween...
...but make it pastel? ๐ป๐ธ๐ฆ
Instead of reaching for orange and black, I went all in on soft pinks, yellows, peaches, and mint. The result is a pair of cards that feel equal parts Halloween and summer—which is exactly what Summerween should be.
Which one's your favorite?
๐ป Flower Ghost
๐ฆ Ghost Popsicle
Save this reel if you're ready to give Halloween a softer side.
https://www.studio-jd.com/hey-boo-lets-chill/
One of my favorite things about crafting with friends?
They encourage you to try things you probably wouldn't have tried on your own.
This card definitely pushed me outside my usual color palette, and I have to admit, it was fun creating something that feels a little different from my typical style.
That's one of the reasons I love crafty weekends. You come home with new ideas, fresh inspiration, and maybe even a color combination you wouldn't have discovered by yourself.
Have your crafty friends ever inspired you to try something completely outside your comfort zone?

Squad Ghouls for Summer Vacation
What if ghosts...
...had vacation plans? ๐ปโ๏ธ
๐๏ธ Pool day with the squad.
๐ง Bubble tea after a stroll through the flower market.
This collection has me completely rethinking Halloween cards, and honestly, I'm not mad about it.
Which ghost are you today?
๐ป Pool Ghost
๐ง Boba Ghost
Save this reel if you love Halloween with a side of sunshine.

Christmas card...
...or everyday card? ๐ค
Honestly, it could be either.
The only thing making this a Christmas card is the tiny holly on top of the cupcake. Everything else works for birthdays, encouragement, thank you cards, or just because.
That's the kind of versatility I love in a die set.
โจ Save this idea for your Christmas in July crafting!
Who Says Christmas Has to Be Red and Green?
https://www.studio-jd.com/who-says-christmas-has-to-be-red-and-green/
"What if Christmas wore different colors this year?"
That's one of my favorite things about Christmas in July. It feels like the perfect time to put the traditional palette aside and see what happens.
For this card, I reached for soft blush, warm neutrals, and creamy whites instead of red and green. The funny part? If you took the little holly off the cupcake, this adorable bear could celebrate just about anything.
I love when a product is versatile enough to tell more than one story. Sometimes all it takes is changing one tiny detail.
Are you Team Traditional or Team "Let's see what happens if I use pink?" ๐
https://www.studio-jd.com/who-says-christmas-has-to-be-red-and-green/
Current mood:
๐ป
Holding a bubble tea.
Avoiding responsibilities.
Honestly...same.
This sweet little ghost immediately made me smile. Between the pastel flowers and the oversized boba cup, it feels more like a cozy afternoon than a Halloween card - and I love that.
Not every seasonal card has to follow the rules. Sometimes all it takes is one happy ghost and a favorite drink to make someone's day.
https://www.studio-jd.com/squad-ghouls-for-summer-vacation/
I have questions.
Who turned the ghost into a popsicle?
Was it voluntary?
And...why is it so ridiculously cute? ๐๐ป๐ฆ
The moment I saw this die, I knew there was no point pretending I'd make a traditional Halloween card. It practically begged for bright summer colors and a little bit of silliness.
I love when a seasonal release doesn't take itself too seriously. Cards like this remind me that crafting is supposed to be fun—and sometimes "Hey Boo" is all the sentiment you need.
https://www.studio-jd.com/hey-boo-lets-chill/
I have questions.
Who inflated the pool float?
Who bought the sun hat?
And who convinced three ghosts that a beach vacation was the perfect getaway?
I may never know the answers, but I fully support their life choices.
One of my favorite things about this collection is that it doesn't take Halloween too seriously. It trades haunted houses for palm trees and spooky vibes for summer fun - and I'm completely here for it.
I hope these little ghosts are having a better vacation than I am. ๐

A Little Holiday Mischief
This background started with a few Distress Oxide Inks...
...and ended with a penguin who was clearly looking for trouble. ๐งโ๏ธ
I love mixing ink blending with die cuts. The colorful winter sky creates the mood, and the penguin brings the personality.
Sometimes simple really is enough.
โจ Save this idea for your holiday card inspiration!
https://www.studio-jd.com/a-little-holiday-mischief/
Fresh snow has a way of bringing out your inner kid.
You know...the one who immediately wants to make snow angels, start a snowball fight, or find the biggest hill in sight.
This little penguin clearly skipped straight to the last option. ๐
I had so much fun creating the background for this card with Distress Oxide Inks. The soft glow in the sky almost feels like the northern lights, and it made the perfect backdrop for a simple snowy scene.
Sometimes all a card needs is one happy character and a little breathing room.
https://www.studio-jd.com/a-little-holiday-mischief/
Ready for the Next Run
Some cards start with the focal image.
This one started with the lift ticket. ๐ฟ
Once I saw it, I couldn't stop thinking about snowy mornings and chair lifts!
The penguin just happened to be brave enough to come along for the ride. ๐งโ๏ธ
โจ Save this idea for your holiday card inspiration!
https://www.studio-jd.com/ready-for-the-next-run/
There are two kinds of people on a ski hill.
The ones who fly down the mountain looking completely fearless...
...and the ones at the bottom quietly reminding themselves that hot cocoa in the lodge is a perfectly acceptable life choice. ๐♀๏ธ๐
Fortunately, this little penguin falls into the first category.
The lift ticket immediately became the inspiration for this card.
https://www.studio-jd.com/ready-for-the-next-run/
The Pun Picked the Card
Creative process:
"Oh, that's cute."
"...wait..."
"IS THAT A HOT DOG DACHSHUND?!"
Five minutes later, this card existed. ๐๐ญ
No need to overthink the design for this card… . just let the adorable little guy do all the work.
โจ Save this one for the next dog lover in your life.

Letting the background do the work.
This Studio Notes feature highlights how a strong background can carry a design and set the tone before anything else is added.
Highlights
โจ Backgrounds establish mood and depth
โจ Focal elements don't need to compete
โจ Simplicity feels intentional when the foundation is strong
In this card, the background creates softness and atmosphere, allowing the florals to sit naturally within the design instead of working to define it.

Sweet sister-themed cardmaking, bright spotlight color, and yes... more fussy cutting. (Card 1 of 3)
For this @simonsaysstamp Always There release card, the Best Sister stamp set delivered maximum charm with minimal resistance, and I fully leaned into the playful warmth of this sunny arched spotlight design.
Highlights
• Bold arched spotlight creates strong clean focal structure
• Copic-colored sister pair adds warmth and personality
• Fussy-cut details bring layered dimension
This one feels like supportive sibling energy with excellent lighting.

Stencil pattern, bold color, and wine glass drama? Card 2 of 2 from my @simonsaysstamp Always There release projects took the same Dot Petal Pattern stencil and decided to be slightly more sophisticated about it.
Using the stencil directly inside the glass gave this card a stronger graphic presence while still keeping the full collection cohesive... which is honestly exactly what I want from both crafting and social gatherings.
Highlights
• Dot Petal Pattern creates bold focal detail with built-in cohesion
• Floral accents soften structure for a more polished finish
• Richer tones give this design a slightly moodier personality
This card feels like it absolutely orders the nicer glass of wine and has strong opinions about it.
