Arched Window, Poinsettias and Anniversary Blog Candy

Good Sunday morning and happy anniversary to me. Today I am celebrating two blogging milestones.  My article today is blog post number 1,000 and My Very First Blog Post ever was published five years ago on November 9 2007.  It is amazing to look back on my original posts and to browse through the years to see all the twists and turns my stamping style has taken.

To celebrate I am offering several nice items for blog candy.

Letraset Aqua Markers Set 1 and 2, Memory Box Ornament Border Die and retired unmounted 2007 Stamping” Up! Keep Christmas stamp set. 

All you have to do to qualify for my gift is leave a comment telling me how long you have been blogging and or paper crafting.  You will have until 5:00 pm on Wednesday, November 14th to leave respond. 

I love making flower cards and especially poinsettia Christmas cards during the holidays.  For this project I paired the Poppystamps Blooming Poinsettia and Grand Madison Arched Window.

I created my poinsettias by using only the smallest flower die section.  I wanted them to be small enough to arrange on the arched window.  Check out my Poinsettia Tutorial for step by step photos of how I form my flowers.

I attached the window to the card base with mounting tape to add dimension.  I applied the poinsettias with glossy accents. Adding the pine branches around the poinsettias created a touch of softness to the arrangement. Here are a couple close up pictures to give a closer view of how the flowers and foliage was arranged.

I thought the poinsettia and window was perfect layered over the Tina Wenke poinsettia paper.

  2. this is my third year of card making, I don’t have a blog, leaning so much each day.It has opened so many windows of learning and friendships. Always exciting, to make new crafts. I especially love to use dies. And Your flower tutorials have inspired me to new heights. Coloring is another favorite of mine. …..thank you for the opportunity for the Blog Candy. Would be an exciting adventure.
    P>S> Poinsettia is one of favorite flowers. your card is super gorgeous.

  5. Hi Kittie,
    I have been paper crafting for about 5 years now. It all started when a friend of mine took me to a scrapbooking get together. It wasn’t a party that sold items, so I said I would go. I now make all our cards for every occasion. I found your blog on Pinterest and have been visiting every day for the last 2 months. I love all of your projects. Some have inspired my Christmas cards this year. Thank you so much for blogging and sharing all of your projects with us.
    Most sincerely,
    Kathleen

  6. Thanks to a dear friend who introduced me to papercrafting in 2006, I have enjoyed making cards and scrapbooks since. That same friend demonstrated your wonderful flower techniques at a gathering for stampers and I was hooked immediately. Thanks so much for your continued inspiration and wonderful information. My holiday cards this year will feature “Blake the Flake”, thanks to you!

  9. I have been papercrafting in one way or another for many years, I found a renewed passion when I purchased an electronic cutter 18 months or so ago. I have been blogging for about a year, and check your blog regularly for inspriration. I especially love your Christmas cards.
    Congrats on your milestones!

  10. Congratulations on #1,000. I have been paper crafting for almost 10 years and got into cards about 5 years ago. I also started a blog months ago but wasn’t able to finish due to some health problems. I’m slowly but surely trying to get it up and running. I was always worried that if I didn’t post something every day or even every other day that I wouldn’t have any followers that would stay with me but I finally realized that it’s about the quality not the quantity. I think if I make items that people like and get inspiration from that even if I was only able to post something 1 or 2 times a week that it would be better than posting something 5-7 days a week with nothing worth really posting. I am amazed at how you can post such beautiful projects so frequently. We are all lucky that you are so prolific as well as so inspirational!! I can’t thank you enough for all of your tutorials. I was just talking with a friend yesterday about you and all of your beautiful cards. We are so amazed at how you form each individual flower and when put together they are works of art. We also talked about our ever growing list of “must haves” we have discovered from your site. Those companies must love you! Thanks again for everything. We are truly lucky to have artists like you that are willing to give so freely of yourself. I look forward to the next 1,000 posts!!

  13. Congratulations!!! You have such beautiful cards! I love the way you create your wreaths and swags!! I started paper crafting when my oldest step daughter was 4! I am feeling very old, since she just turned 20 – where has the time gone? I am addicted to paper and find that I am collecting paper and dies (memory box are awesome) in the hopes that someday I’ll be able to stop going into the office and be able to focus on my crafting (I can always dream about winning the lottery – lol)… I figure I have a few more years, since our youngest is 10, but getting there 🙂 I have been blogging since 2006… It is funny, because when my son was younger I had more time, right now we are in the “many after school and weekend activities” years, so not so much time but building lots of memories.
    Here is wishing you many more years of paper crafting!
    Hugs,
    antonella 🙂

  18. Hi and Congrats. I am not a blogger I am a blogg reader and I come here everyday. You have beautiful cards. I have been a scrapbooker for many years and have made cards a little over the years but have recently really gotten into card making and send them as a ministry.

  20. I don’t have a blog and I have no idea how to start one but that is my New Year’s resolution. It will probably take me a year to get it done. I have been paper crafting for about three years and I absolutely love it. I am retired so I can play when I want. You are an amazing artist. I would have loved to seen some of your floral arrangements when you were working with your Mom in the flower shop.

  27. I’m a stamper and I first started when I went to a local holiday show – there was a booth with stamps and embossing powders! And those ladies were stamping and heat embossing using an iron – how far we have come!!! I’ve been stamping since then, making cards and other little fun projects. I’ve done a little scrapbooking too! Happy Anniversary!!

  28. Hi, Kittie,
    Wow, 1000 blog posts! That’s amazing to someone like me who doesn’t blog at all (and with my typing skills, that’s a good thing).
    I’ve been making cards for just about a year now, and you have been a true inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing all your gorgeous creations and the tutorials to help the rest of us learn to create beautiful things to share with others.
    Congratulations and happy anniversary – I hope there are many, many more!

  29. Hi Kittie!
    I’ve enjoyed playing with paper for years, but really went off the deep end when I received a Big Shot for Christmas last year! Your amazing cards have been a real inspiration and challenge..also have to thank you for introducing the magic box idea. Have made several and also taught my 9 and 12 year old grandkids how. They loved it!
    Congrats on your milestones.

  30. Gorgeous card Kittie! Congratulations on your blogaverary!! I’ve been cardmaking since my boys were little (my youngest turns 21 later this month!) Needless to say the range and type of products available today is astonishing. I remember a long time ago being soo excited to try embossing with powder for the first time, it was like magic!! I am a blog newbie and haven’t really had the time to venture into posting things at this stage. Thankyou for your continued inspirational posts, your work is truly beautiful 🙂

  31. Congratulations Kittie! Your blog is one that I visit frequently for my dose of inspiration. I started my blog on July 17, 2011. I started serious paper crafting about 6 years ago, but I guess you could say that I have been dabbling in paper crafting through most of my life.

  34. I started card making 4 years ago. It has become a passion! I try to work on something every day. Being retired enables me to do that, lol. I started blogging very shortly after that and have loved it. I have been inspired by so many crafters and card makers all around the globe, and many have become super blog buddies. Your work has been so fun to watch and I have learned so much from your beautiful projects. I have copied several of your designs and spread the word about your site. You are a true inspiration to si many and I know that you are appreciated for sharing your work so willingly. THANX so much! I look forward to seeing many more of your projects and creations!

  43. Happy Anniversary! January will mark 6 years of cardmaking for me. I found you early on on SCS and have always been intrigued by your snow scenes and SU pickup truck. And now I’ve watched as you’ve evolved to flower making on your cards. Pictures of your stamp room were some of the first ones I ever saw and was surprised that people actually had entire rooms just for cardmaking! You’ve cost me a fortune over the years in supplies trying to recreate your style!! I never could master the scenes but my flower cards are passable! When you started blogging I was thrilled that an entire site was going to be dedicated to your creations! I rarely miss a day checking out what you’ve posted.

All of your cards are so inspiring – and at times a “hit” to the pocket book – because I just have to have whatever die/product you are using that particular day. lol Please keep up the good work and here’s to at least another 1,000 blogs.

  56. I have been making greeting cards for ever using my computer. My favorite things are Christmas time and Flowers and one day I was looking for a greeting card with flowers and I found your tutorial for hydrangeas and poinsettias and I fell in love. My computer’s cards were pretty but not 3D. Immediately I went to the website to buy the poinsettia die (that is my favorite) and since that time I have been buying like crazy all the dies I like to make flowers and other shapes. You are my favorite card designer and everyday the first thing I do when I turn on my computer is to look for your email with the new post for the day. I don’t have a blog. My husband says that I am a Kittie’s copycat with just littler difference.

  71. Hi Kittie,
    I have been papercrafting and cardmaking for about 9 years; saw a project in a magazine and wanted to make it and the rest is history. I absolutely love your website and have told so many people about it and the all say the same thing, “AMAZING!”
    I appreciate the time and effort you put in each one of your projects, including the very informative videos, and love the fact that you picture all of the items you have used, and by clicking on them, I am taking to the website to purchase! You have cost me a lot of money!!!!

You inspire so many of us with your talent and help me strive to create a card that when recevied will make someone happy. It is a special feeling when someone tells you how much they apprciate your cards or that they have kept every card you have sent them. That makes me happy! I hope all of us card makers can put a smile on peoples faces and make this a better world.

I’m a busy mom who can barely get in my craft room to make a few cards and follow a few other very creative bloggers. I am inspired though and maybe one day I’ll take the leap! Your blog is great! I’ve been paper crafting since I can remember–very therapeutic for me.

  77. First Kitty, I must complement you on another gorgeous card. You just keep making one more beautiful than the next. Your poinsettia’s are just lovely on that background. Christmas will soon be in the air!
    I started my blog a year and a half ago. I saw so many beutiful blogs,cards and stamping ideas that I got on blogger and read how to make my own blog. I then was pleased with my outcome and uploaded it to the Internet. I’ve been having fun ever since.
    My sweet daughter got me started stamping in 2007. It’s fun making new friends via the Internet who have the same interests. I’ve acquried a few new friends this way. Thanks for asking…

  79. This arched window card is just gorgeous. It’s minutes b/f I move on from one of your cards. I remember, long ago you giving me advice on using liquid applique.
    I don’t blog – GASP! – but I do follow your blog. You have amazing, easy to follow tutorials. I’ve been a fan of yours since I started stamping in ’05.
    Congratulations on 1000 posts! That’s quite an accomplishment.
    Thanks for all you do.

  80. Впервые я увидела ваши открытки 2 года назад, я была очень удивлена их неординарности. Ни у кого , а я поверьте смотрю много сайтов, не было таких открыток. Мне нравятся ваши открытки за сюжеты, которые вы создаете. Не просто наклеены цветы и окна, а именно чувствуется атмосфера уюта и очень , очень хочется открыть эти окна и заглянуть внутрь, там тоже тепло и уютно, потому что не может быть плохо там, где около дома растут цветы, стоит детский велосипед и такие уютные шторы на окнах. Это очень здорово!!!!! Еще я удивляюсь тому, сколько у вас фантазии. Казалось бы все уже сделано, и окна, и двери, и цветы, и машины, и я уже утром в предвкушении, а что что еще придумала Китти и что же я вижу, действительно придумала. Около окна уютно примостилась кошечка, значит в этом доме живут добрые люди, опять хочется туда , за окошко заглянуть и так у меня начинается каждое утро. С просмотра вашего сайта. я его знаю наизусть( это мне так кажется), а на самом деле каждый раз удивляюсь тому, что вы делаете. Огромное вам спасибо. Вы мой ВДОХНОВИТЕЛЬ!!!

  84. Hi Kittie,
    My darling daughter Jayne enticed me into making cards and i have never regretted it as when you get done you look at the card and say to your self , “Did I really make this card?” I love creating thngs with my hands that God ,
    gave us and it is like playing a piano or organ {which I do at our church for 63 years } you make melodious music and people really enjoy it. I play by ear not notes. But I’ve made cards now for maybe 8-9 years. Nothing like you though yours are FANTASTIC!! I am 78 years young and love this kind of working with my hands. Mary

  85. Hi Kittie
    1,000 I certainly have missed alot of your insparational work. I have been card making now for nearly 6 years and still enjoy making cards. My mother-in-law always looks forward to receiving a card from me which is wonderful. I always look forward to getting the email showing your latest creation. You never fail to deliver an amazing card. For the last four years I have voluntarly organised a craft day, (though we all do cards), nearly every Friday somedays canceling because of sick chidren, the friendships made from this group is wonderful. Thank you for what you do and I hope there will be many more wonderful cards Fran.

  89. For some reason I did not get this email and missed this beautiful card. I have always done some sort of crafting. I started making cards in 1996 when I got a computer and a card program. Didn’t get a cricut until 2008 and now I have learned to use dies from you. (thank you) I started my blog in 2009. You are what I aspire to. I look forward to your posts every day.

  91. I am so happy to have found your blog a little while ago. Your cards are so beautiful!!! There are so many dies you use that I want/need…so I keep a list! I have been scrapping for about 20 yrs and card making for 12. I got started as a way to use up the scraps of paper I tend to hang on to and not want to throw away. Now I have spoiled my friends, family and co-workers. No one wants a store bought card any more…but I don’t mind. I find making cards very relaxing and I don’t care if it takes me 10 min or 3 hours to make a card. thank you for the opportunity to win!

  109. I have been paper crafting for about nine years. I started with scrap booking and refused to look at rubber stamps because I had a feeling they could become an addiction. Boy was I right about that! I started making cards because the are more instant gratification than scrapping.i have never blogged, but I think I would like it. I absolutely love your cards, Kittie.

    I started crafting in 2007 i had to leave my job which i loved as a health care worker, as i had a heart attack, it left me with angine.
    I started making cards with some stuff my daughter was throwing away and i was hooked, it helped me so much and specially when my dad passed away in 2009.

I have been crafting all my life and used my skills in the 37 years that I taught elementary school.

  113. Congratulations to you on your anniversary. I have been scrapbooking for 12 years now, and decided to start making cards with left over product about 5 years ago. When I saw one of your creations a couple of years ago, I challenged myself to rise to your standard. Of course, I will never be a wonderful and creative as you, but I have certainly learned to make 3-D cards as gifts. The most recent one was a 50th wedding anniversary card, and I made the box to hold it too. Thank you for all the wonderful inspiration you are giving to a great many crafters.

  114. Love the poinsettia you make, and of course that makes this card beautiful, i have all the same stuff you do, but my flowers just don’t look like yours, especially the tiny ones!!! You are just so talented, I look forward to your blog every day, such a pleasure to read and see. So much wonderful inspiration!! Thanks kindly for all you do, it is not easy doing a daily commitment like you do. I have been crafting for oodles of years, but of recent about 4 years ago, I got into scrap booking, and bought a few stamps for that and before I knew it, I was loaded with stamps, and got into card making and all is history, card making now is mostly all I do, and along with that I do blog occasionally, but only once a week or so, and no followers to speak of, I used to belong to a flickr group, and I have a lot loaded on that site, but have not been on there much of late. There are only so many hours in a day!!

    I’ve been making cards for about 6 years when a friend gave us a tutorial on cardmaking at our church. Since then the group of us has taken up the hobby and we meet every Thursday evening. When I was first introduced to your blog, I thought your cards were just my style! Beautiful, and full of flowers!! I’ve used many of your ideas. Thanks, Kathy

  119. I went to your first “stamp camp”, sometime before Christmas in 2004(?), knowing full well that I would not be able to do it! Just fell in love with it to the point that my daughter knows that a nice chunk of her inheritance would be lost if she just pitched my stamping area!!! LOL. I remember the Christmas card I made that year, a Christmas tree in forest green, using a blender pen. I remember you demonstrating the magic of embossing powder in our little lunch room at work. Stamping kept me content at home during my mother’s final years and continues to give me great joy (and some frustration) when time and energy allow me to “play” now. Thanks for sharing you amazing gift!

  121. God Bless you on your 5th Anniversary! I have been so fortunate to have been following you. Although I do not have a blog, I am such a fan. I have been paper crafting for most of my life. As a child, I loved paper and fabric. The ability to create a work of art only my mother loved (and still has) left me with such joy, and a feeling of accomplishment that has lasted a lifetime. I still get that feeling. In the past six years, paper crafting has become an all consuming passion whose joy I have shared with severely mentally ill adults. They were able to accomplish what they thought was the impossible. What a gift to be able to create change in another person’s life.
    That’s what you do for all of us. You have been inspiring and generous with your sharing through your daily tutorials. You are our candy sweet Kittie. Please continue to bring joy on our lives.

  155. I have been paper crafting for about 8 months. I started when I purchased my Silouette Cameo, for vinyl, and started playing around with paper. Turned out I don’t use the vinyl much anymore. I discovered the joy of card making and am trying to get supplies gathered. Thank you for the chance to win a few supplies.

  156. Your flowers (I can never spell the “P” word without going back to check) are gorgeous Kittie, and look lovely with your window and that pretty paper. I have been card making for several years now – I don’t really remember when I started and all of my early cards were just word processed and punched. I have been stamping for about 4 years and blogging for three. I love being inspired to try new things. I am working on a project currently that has been wholly inspired by you! Thank you for the candy opportunity – it’s very kind! Hugs, Lesley

  157. Congratulations on blog anniversary! How wonderful! And of course may more years to come of your continuing to post your absolutely amazing cards!
    I’ve been blogging since November 2008. I created my first card making project when my son graduated from school and was enlisted into the US Marines. I never imagined that I would become so addicted to creating cards! But, also thanks to people like you for your inspirations.
    Congrats again! Definitely well deserved!
    Hugs, Kym

  160. Happy Holidays & Congrats on your Blog Anniversary! I have been making cards & scrapbooking for over 29 years (age of my oldest daughter). I had some of the original rubber stamp sets from mail order catalogue from 30 yrs ago. My children would stamp cards and colored them to gift their relatives at a young age. Now I prefer many layers. Your blog makes my day to read, learn and put my own spin on final layouts! Thank you from Wisconsin!

  161. Congratulations on your milestones! Wow! Great card. Those poinsettias are beautiful. I’ve been papercrafting off and on for 20 years, but at first it was strictly digital…I’ve expanded my horizons 😉 I’ve only been blogging for about a year.

  162. Dear Kittie, I am just amazed at all that you can do with your paper card designs. When I went back to take a look at your work it is evident that you are a superior artist as well as having a unique creative eye for placement on paper. Your compositions are so realistic, that they become life like on your cards. The way in which you create things inspire people to go beyond what they would normally create. I am so blessed to be able to know you as well as your work even though we have never met it is so rewarding to view all your creative work. Congratulations on your 1000th blog. You are one terrific lady,Kittie. God Bless.

  163. Love your style and creativity. I found you through Pinterest and am so glad I did. I have been paper crafting for about ten years and love, love, love it. It causes me to ignore other things in life such as cooking, cleaning, etc. LOL

  166. Happy Blogaversary Kittie! I first started papercrafting in 2008 but in a very basic way. I gradually progressed to stamping then I learned to shape diecut flowers and leaves with the help of your fabulous blog and tutorials. You once said in an email that dies and punches were addictive – you are right! My favourite techniques now are diecut cards and Lili of the Valley stamped images which I usually colour with copics or promarkers. I’m just learning watercolouring with reinkers but I’m not very good yet.

  168. I don’t have a blog – probably because I spend so much time looking at other peoples’ blogs!!!!! I have been papercrafting forever, though, and my supplies tell that story. Thanks so much for the chance to win and more importantly thanks for all the inspiration you share with us!

  169. congrats on your 5 years of blogging! I still remember when I first discovered your blog and was absolutely floored by how beautiful your projects are! You have such an amazing design sense…color, composition, and those little extras that make a card just stand out. I have been paper crafting in one way or another since my teen years and am both a scrapbooker and card-maker. I love to work with paper and stamps especially…love to get inky! No blog so far….I’m intimidated by the whole thought and I just enjoy the creative transfer that I get from blogs like yours. Thanks so much for your awesome candy and for bringing so much beauty to my life!

  170. How wonderful to have reached the 5 year mark! I always just love your projects and your blog is like eye candy to me! I am not a blogger but I have been paper crafting for much of my adult life. I love making 3-D paper projects for party and holiday decorations and have recently gotten into card making. I have a 2 year old so not much time to craft but I love it! Thanks for the chance to win some goodies!

  171. Kittie, I have a question for you. I have been only scraping/crafting for a few months and would like to know– If you could only have two punches, and two embossing folders, which ones would they be? Thanks
