We also have a new LIVE CHAT option on our site which will be available from time to time when I'm in the office and working. Be looking for me! You'll know I'm online if you're on the site and see a grey button on the bottom right of your screen with a green light blinking.

I am going to use this feature to do a couple of giveaways during our sale this weekend! So, please feel free to start a chat and say hi OR accept one if I try to chat with you. There just might be a prize waiting for you!! PLUS, I love love love talking with our customers so this will be super fun!

Here's a little something I made today in honor of World Cardmaking Day. I wanted to experiment with the partial die cutting technique.

I started with an orange card base cut to 4.25" square and the chubbier pumpkin from the Seen On Halloween Die Set with its coordinating stitched detail die inside of it. I used some washi tape to tape this down where I wanted it and I ran it through my die cutting machine only far enough so it wouldn't completely cut through the paper leaving the bottom of the pumpkin attached.

Once I made enough of a cut, I removed the pumpkin die but left the stitching die in place and ran that through again to get the full body of stitching you see above. Then, I used a ruler and pencil to mark my window and cut it out by hand.

Once my pumpkin and window frame were completely cut I embellished using leaf dies from our Acorn Die Set in some fun, Fall colors as well as our Thankful Word Die and some lovely twine. EASY and SO FUN!!!

Here's a closer look at the goodies I used.

Behind the scenes here, we're gearing up for our next release which is filled with stamps and dies that are perfect for all your holiday card making!

Until then, get your craft on this weekend and enjoy World Cardmaking day 2017!
