Hello Crafty Friends, welcome to my channel. I love creating handmade cards and want to share the process with step-by-step tutorials with you! If it's paper.. I love it! If its Coffee.... well the two just compliment each other! That's Cards & Coffee Time. Crafting without coffee is like peanut butter without jelly. The best part about making something is not the finished product but the happiness it brings when it's given to someone with love. Give me Coffee and Crafting....and I am in heaven. Thank you so much for visiting. Have a Blessed day!
Cards and Coffee Time
Let’s be real: we all have those stencil sets that we only use for backgrounds. But why stop there?!
I’m playing with the gorgeous new Flower Bed Layering Stencils from the Altenew February 2026 Collection, and I decided to make them do "double duty." I used the same set for the background AND the main floral focal point.
The best part? I totally ignored the "rules" for the Bonus Stencil (it’s meant for a stamp set) and used it solo. The result?
I’ve broken it down into 5 Easy Steps: https://youtu.be/c0BV1iC4Vrs

Today on the channel, I'm layering patterned paper to create a color-filled birthday card! I’ve paired them with the gorgeous Rosie's Studio Breakfast In Bed Collection—those chipboard frames are a total game-changer for adding easy dimension.
It’s a quick 5-step process that’s perfect for a rainy afternoon (or a lazy Sunday morning) https://youtu.be/K0vijxL7adg

Happy Valentine's Day Crafty Friends!! ❤️Time to play with the March 2026 Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp!
I focused on the gorgeous Watercolor Bouquet stamp to create a trio of floral cards. Vibrant colors and simple layouts that let the stamp do the work. I am thrilled with how this trio turned out and hope they spark some fresh inspiration! https://youtu.be/NiIekLucl0k #SimonSaysStamp

My latest tutorial just landed! I’m breaking down how to make these glittery birthday cards using the Spellbinders Aged to Perfection collection. Since I’m officially "aged to perfection" myself, this set is basically made for me, lol:)

I have another card to share with you today using the Simon Says Stamp Feb 2026 card Kit! I love layers. And when I think of Tim Holtz, my brain always goes to torn paper—must be that distressed vibe, right? Today, I put together one of the block patterns and used torn bits of vellum and patterned paper layered over the rose gold mirror cardstock squares. I love the look, it's clean but messy! Enjoy! https://youtu.be/0em5dMDA0Do

Cards and Coffee Time
Hey everyone! I am so incredibly excited for today’s video because I finally get to reveal something that has been a total labor of love. It's my brand NEW collection with Spellbinders: Make It and Bake It!
If you know me, you know baking is in my DNA. From my first plastic pink lightbulb oven to the bakery my husband and I poured our hearts into for years, flour, sugar and paper have always been my love language.
This collection is the ultimate "recipe" for creativity—a perfect mashup of my two greatest passions. I can't wait to see what you "cook" up with these designs!
So, grab a snack—preferably a cupcake—and let’s dive into all the sweet details!" https://youtu.be/xi5EuJv0MKg

I dropped a fun 5 Step video early this morning! If you haven’t seen it yet, we’re in the craft room playing with the Altenew February 2026 Release, and I’ve cracked the code on making TWO cards at once using my "5 Easy Step" process.
The secret weapon? The Zero-Waste: Wildflower Meadow Die. It’s perfect for using up every scrap while creating those gorgeous, layered floral looks we all love. I’m also pairing it with the stunning NEW Ornate Tags Die Set to add that extra "wow" factor. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/vnCWGQCuT04

Who says cards have to be rectangles? I just posted a new tutorial showing you how to break out of the box with a shaped Easter card! We are putting the Simon Hurley Happy Spring Collection through its paces, specifically using both the negative and positive cuts from the In Bloom Egg Dies.
The real star of the show, though, is the Bunny Buddies Etched Die Set—easily the most charming critter I’ve assembled lately.

Spring has officially arrived in the craft room! 🌸 I just shared a new tutorial featuring the latest Waffle Flower Spring Time Release, and I am completely head-over-heels for these mini scenes.
We’re using the Postage Collage Die to create a tiny "Egg Hunt" world. I’ll show you how to perfectly layer the Egg Hunt Icons over the matching stencils for a really polished look.
