Growing up in Hawaii (our tropical oasis) back in the 60’s was a LOT of fun! This paper is so nostalgic. It wasn’t uncommon to see these “Woodies” driving through Kailua town with a surfboard hanging out the open back window. It was beachy, and hip, and well… cool! And…
“Thinking of you with all my heart” is one of the perfect sentiment stamps that you’ll find in Peaceful Moments Stamp Set. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again…I love the mix of fonts in this stamp set! For this card, I’ve used a floral stamp from Painted…
Notes of encouragement don’t have to be super fancy or elaborate. This quick note card was simple and fast, yet quite pretty with the Scalloped Note Card and Envelope set. I chose the blue notecard to go with the Bird Ballad DSP that I picked. Then I cropped the bird…
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…
Good Morning, Magnolia Lane Suite! The beauty of the Good Morning Magnolia stamps hits you the minute you put it to paper. The images are very realistic. I couldn’t wait to stamp and color this large image, but I’ve seen cards made with it left uncolored that are very striking…
Woven Threads Designer Series Paper is one of the 12 packs in my DSP Shares. It shows off all of the new In Colors, so I made a note card set with one in each color! Each card is the same, with the exception of the paper choice and color…
Pretty Kitty is such a sweet stamp set and perfect for thanking the 2nd grade girls that I teach for their end-of-the-year gifts. Heads up – this set is retiring in June, as is the Powder Pink paper that I used. You can purchase them through the month of May,…
I had a TON of fun creative alternative cards with the April Pumpkin Paper Kit! Even though I loved the ideas that the kit came with, I enjoyed spreading out all the parts and pieces and coming up with my own ideas. No, they are not too far off from…
Good Monday morning to you! Today I am featuring a retiring stamp set that happens to be one of my favorites, Humming Along. See another card I made with this stamp set here. The hibiscus is main attraction on this card, and it can be a birthday card or an…
Beauty Abounds on this card… and in my beautiful friend, Carolyn. She will be receiving this card soon. If you’ve been following me for awhile, you’ve heard me speak of Carolyn. She is my amazing 93 year old friend, who up until recently was leading worship in our Community Bible…
I had this idea… let’s see what you think!.. I thought I would blindly pick an older stamp set (still current, but from the Annual Catalog) and try to pair it with a newer set from the Occasions Catalog. So I closed my eyes, reached into the cupboard, and pulled…
Here’s another pretty, feminine card for you today ~ I made this one up mostly from the Floral Romance suite. It includes the Wonderful Romance Stamp Set, Wonderful Florals Framelit Dies, and Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper. The first thing I did was cut the right edge of a…
All My Love Designer Series Paper may have been my go-to valentine pack, but I had two of these beautiful floral Flirty Flamingo sheets left and I was excited to create something else with them. What I came up with is this ultra-fem card that I love! As I looked…
I opened up a new stamp set that I received at On Stage in November and starting playing with it… It is a really fun set! It will be available to purchase from the 2019 Occasions Catalog on January 3rd. Here is a photo of the cover ~ It has…
This card was hard to photograph, as the textures got a little lost, but I want you to imagine it with lots of raised areas in the white background and in the two die cut leaves. The base is made with Thick Whisper White Cardstock. I added a Cajun Craze…
