Hi Friends! I hope you’ve been having a nice weekend so far. I’ve been having fun creating & making cards with our newly released “Hello, Irresistible Suite“. This suite, along with other new products, is part of our new “Online Exclusives”, which you can see HERE. With certain exceptions, items from our “Online Exclusives” are available while supplies last. Some of the products, once sold out, will be gone for good. Other items will be available longer.
PLEASE NOTE: The suite above is currently unavailable because the “Loose Dots” are on backorder and we don’t have a date yet of when they will be back in stock. The good news is, you can still purchase the “Irresistible Blooms” stamp set and dies bundle and coordinating designer series paper separately.
I am so smitten with the products in the “Hello, Irresistible Suite” that I decided to feature it in my “Customer Appreciation Card Class” for this month! What that means is, everyone who places an order with me during March will receive a free card kit in the mail to make this month’s cards!
There are six cards in total and the kits include precut card bases, die cuts, gems, ribbons and envelopes. The PDF tutorial & video demonstrations for this month’s class is free for EVERYONE but the card kits are exclusive to my customers. For more information, click HERE. Kits are one per customer and they will be mailed out later this month.
Ordinarily, I combine ALL the cards from my classes into one video, which does make it a bit long. This month I’ve created a card series for my March class, with one card per video. Today I’ve got TWO of the cards available for you, with the others coming out later this week.
Be sure to order your “Irresistible Blooms Bundle” as soon as possible, if it’s on your wish list. I promise you won’t be disappointed – it’s absolutely gorgeous and truly delightful to create with!

Tina, I like how you are only doing one card per video. They are very enjoyable to watch and learn. I will be watching more. Thank you for a wonderful card

You are just my style! I’ve followed you for a few years, before I became a Demo through current days (3/2023). I look to you for a clear explanation, always beautiful design, and love that you, too, create as you go. I have you featured on my own blog because you are worth sharing with the world. There is such a joy in your voice, presentations that I’ll often tune in to to listen while I’m working, and come back later for the doing. I’m in Northern Michigan, a few hours from the Canadian border. Thanks also for sharing your recipes and wedding with us. Keep on inspiring!

Hi Susan. Wow. Thank you so much for your comment and for all of your lovely words. Truly means a lot to me, Susan. Thank you for featuring me on your blog too. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoy my recipes (more to come!) and our wedding. Take care and big hugs to you!
