Another amazing hit from TE, these create in quads are really a must have staple in every craft room. It takes more time to choose your ink colors than it does to make four ready to go card fronts!
The workshop from Crop & Create led by Taylor was instructed with the blue palette; I pulled this back out and created the warmer palette using Concord & 9th inks from previous events.
I didn’t have all the inks Taylor used, so I substituted from my Lawn Fawn collection – not shown is kiddie pool which I used for the lightest color in the blues palette.
I attended the Crop & Create Spring 2025 event, and kicking off my series of posts showcasing all of the amazing brands and product we did is the Spellbinders Cheerful Chirps collection using Pretty Birds & Flying High die sets, along with the Bamboo screen 3D embossing folder.
All cardstock used for these cards are from the new color wheel cardstock collection. The colors in my projects included:
If you’ve ever dreamed of building the perfect little paper house, the Our House collection makes it easier (and more fun!) than ever! This charming card was created using the Our House Dies, and I had so much fun personalizing it with all the delightful add-ons.
This die set is packed with customizable details — from interchangeable window shapes and scalloped roof tiles to flower boxes, balloon clusters, and banners! Whether you want to create a cozy cottage, a festive celebration scene like this one, or a wintery holiday home, the possibilities are endless.
The dies are perfectly sized to fill an A2 card front, but you can also use them to create a free-standing house-shaped card for something extra special. I used the coordinating Our House Extras Dies to add balloons and that festive banner, which I stamped using the Our House Stamp Set. The windows were lightly ink-blended for a soft glow effect, and the flower boxes add that perfect finishing touch.
Want to step it up even more? The Our House Embossing Folder adds dimensional brick textures for even more realism and charm.
Whether you’re making a card to celebrate a birthday, new home, retirement, or just because — this collection lets you create a scene full of personality and joy.
💡Pro tip: Mix and match elements with other seasonal sets for year-round versatility!

I have had this stamp / die / stencil combo since September. It was the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember 2024 This Calls For Confetti exclusive. I got the foot print add-on stencil separately.
Is it perfect? Absolutely not. This card is for my Dad, he’s my favorite person in the whole world. Will HE notice all the little hiccups that I do? Definitely not.
We’re our own worst critics. I bet the love & thought put into a card erases any ‘mistakes’ we might make in the eyes of the recipient.
So rather than trying to be perfect or waiting, SEND THE CARD!!! 💝
If you’re a rainbow lover like me, you need the Create-in-Quads: ROYGBIV stencil set in your life! This one-of-a-kind layering stencil set lets you ink-blend your way to four complete A2-sized card fronts—all at once. Yes, you read that right!
This project came together like sunshine after the rain ☀️ Each panel is designed with cheerful rainbows, fluffy clouds, and sunny sentiments that bring instant happiness. I used bright inks to keep things bright & cheery, then paired each background with coordinating die cuts and sentiments from the coordinating stamp & die set Shine So Bright for a cohesive, joyful finish.
The best part? These designs are incredibly versatile. Whether you’re making encouragement cards, thinking-of-you notes, or a “just because” pick-me-up, these panels are ready to shine.
💡 Pro tip: Add dimension with die-cut suns, stitched clouds, or glossy accents like I did to really make the colors pop!
And because this is part of the Create-in-Quads line, every detail lines up perfectly—no guesswork, no waste, just four fabulous cards from one crafty session.

I love to spoil my Dad at Christmas; he’s done so much for me that I want to show him how much it meant to me. So each year I try and make each gift just a little extra special with gift wrap and hand made tags that can be kept as keepsakes.
Using Alice’s Gingerbread Lane die set from Honeybee’s Christmas 2024 release, I used basic Kraft cardstock stock, inked some pieces with distress oxide inks to resemble sugar waffle cone roof, and pink glitter paper for icing. Confections just aren’t complete without sprinkles so I added some Crystal Effects to give them and the cherry a shiny glossy finish.
Jennifer McGuire has inspired me to make so many shaped cards lately, I took it one step further and created a 3D mini card / tag to top my parents Christmas gifts this year.
The focal image is from the ever amazing Honey Bee stamps: Lovely Vintage Reindeer. Honey Bee provides layering guides for all their layering sets, so it was remarkably easy to assemble.
I created a mini card base with the largest tag for from a Mama Elephant set that I had in my stash, and filled the background with foliage from Winter Greenery
This is probably the easiest Christmas card I have ever been able to mass produce.
The wreath is actually from the limited edition paper pack, so all I really needed was the die cut accessories, all from the Hoosier cabinet die set.
Most of the kitchen ware I cut from white cardstock and inked with spun sugar & worn lipstick distress oxide inks. Gingerbread were cut from Kraft cardstock; and all were finished with a white gel pen to add a bit more dimension.
This card was part of the Honeybee Crop & Create workshop, and I ended up making a batch of these for an order placed by a work colleague. Best part is they are mail friendly as there isn’t a lot of dimension, especially if you choose not to add any foam tape to the base layer or accessories.
I ordered an obscene amount of the paper packs so that I could make these again for next Christmas!
My local scrapbooking supply store, Clipper Street, hosts “Crafty Hour” where they utilize collections fr various brands & they
As soon as I saw this collection I knew I had to join the workshop.
These cards were my own creation, based on inspiration I saw in the workshop. The collection had so much to work with: two ephemera packs, printed acetate, 6×6 and 12×12 along with die sets
These cards were the first time I got to use my Tim Holtz distress sprays & it really added a pop of shimmer and color
There was very little work to be done – the ephemera really made these cards so easy to design. Just a few die cut ferns (from the collection) and one stitched scalloped base panel and voila!
As part of our 2024 Fall Crop & Create Delivered workshops, Honeybee included this amazing Lovely Layers Hoosier Cabinet die set.
Yes, it has a lot of tiny pieces, but the it’s remarkably easy to work with!
Most of my pieces cut beautifully from coloured cardstock, or I used distress inks to color white 80lb cardstock to suit whatever color palette I wanted.
Using Honey Bee Metallic Mix pearls were perfect for the tiny drawer & door knobs. Enamel dots or Nuvo drops or anything you have in your stash could also work beautifully.
To add a festive twist, I pulled out my Lovely Layers Christmas Market Cart add on from Honey Bee and used the Bundt, pine boughs and stocking. Crimson cardstock from Spellbinders and white pieces inked with spun sugar oxide for the dishes and rustic wilderness for the boughs.
