This is a brand new stamp set for me. I’ve been eyeing it since the Mini Catalog came out in January, but finally made the purchase. It’s called Beautifully Braided and comes bundled with the Braided Punch. I didn’t get the punch, so I can’t give you an opinion on…
How is everyone faring? I trust you all are “sheltering in place,” as we Californians have been told to do! I suppose that is really the only way we are going to stop Mr. CV! Thank God for this craft of ours to keep our brains creatively working! So join…
I love the Poppy Parade color in Stampin’ Up!’s Peaceful Poppies DSP, but the native state flower in California is really more of a Pumpkin Pie color. Here is a photo from our front yard, showing a CA Poppy bloom: This vibrant orange and green is breathtaking. I had to…
If this card doesn’t wake you up, nothing will! I have a bright one for you today!! Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper provides the color, and Love What You Do provides the sweet sentiment. I will share what I love to do with this free Designer Series Paper (get it…
I have a Tropical Oasis birthday card for you today. It gives the impression of being quilted, as I ran it through the Big Shot with the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder. I chose four prints from the Tropical Oasis DSP that had similar colors in them, cut each square…
Today I’m CASEing – myself! – with the layout that I showed you on Wednesday. It’s a simple and fun layout that you can do so many different things with. On this card I’ve used Beauty Abounds. My background paper is another beauty from Best Dressed 6″x 6″ DSP. I…
As I was looking through my Best Dressed DSP, I found this light purple and mint piece that looks a little like daisies. So Daisy Lane came out of the closet and today we are welcoming Spring (I know… wishful thinking!) Here is Daisy Lane & Best Dressed together~ Pretty…
Here is a pretty little card that only takes a few minutes to make. Dare I say, 10 minutes? Yep! “Your friendship is a blessing” is such a beautiful sentiment from So Sentimental that can be used for many an occasion. Quick Stats: Lovely Lipstick Cardstock ~ 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, scored…
Best Dressed is So Sentimental! Stampin’ Up!, I can’t thank you enough for this beautiful Best Dressed Designer Series Paper! I’m nuts about the colors in the florals and stripes! In today’s card, I paired it with the So Sentimental Bundle and it’s the perfect fit! Measurements: Gorgeous Grape Cardstock…
Every once in a while, I make a card that I enjoy so much – I just want to make more! But more of the same isn’t always what I have in mind. Then when I switch the DSP and the sentiment but keep the same layout, it feels like…
I have a very easy-to-reproduce card to share with you today. It uses the Soft Spring Host Stamp Set. I love these floral images! This stamp set is available for only $9.50 when you host (or purchase yourself) a qualifying order of $150.00. Nothing too difficult here! I stamped the…
Pressed Petals & Daisies is dedicated to my late Mom-in-Law, JoAnn Hallam, who was the ultimate gardener. Today she would have been 90 years old! Happy Birthday, Mom! This card is for you. Did you ever press flowers between waxed paper in a book? If you were to open some…
I chose Follow Your Art DSP for today’s post because, well, it’s Friday! I gave you Mosaic Mood on Monday, Washi on Wednesday, now Follow Your Art on Friday. See what I did there? haha! Here is my card: OK, raise your hand if you love this DSP. That was…
Oooooo, Pressed Petals is another new favorite! I held off getting this one when I was prepping my Paper Shares because 4 of the sheets are designed in a way that you can’t really cut the sheet in half. You’ll see what I mean when you see the video. Little…
Happy Friday! Can’t believe it is coming up on another weekend already. I hope you have some fun plans scheduled! Today I have two cards to share with you, both highlighting a new Designer Series Paper called See A Silhouette. The name really goes with the stamp set, with its…
