It’s Friday and the beginning of the weekend! I hope yours is productive AND relaxing! Today I have what is the beginning of a set of mini 3″ x 3″ cards to share with you. It’s my Cutie- Patooti Tutti-Frutti card set (say that fast three times!). I love these…
This sweet (soiree) birthday card goes together very quickly! The DSP does all the work for you. One of the papers in the Sweet Soiree DSP pack has rows of these pretty cakes on it. You can easily cut it into 2″ wide strips and you have enough cake pieces…
Here’s a pretty little set of birthday greetings using Heart Happiness with Happy Birthday Gorgeous and Cake Soiree for you to give someone special. Let’s look at the card first ~ I started with a base card of Berry Burst, then cut another piece just 1/8″ smaller than the base…

Welcome back to my week-long series on Basic Stamping! If you missed Days 1-3, you can see them HERE, HERE, and HERE. I am going back to stamping basics, using few materials and some easy techniques that everyone can do. Today I’ve got a Spring card, once again using the…
Welcome back! Today is Day 3 of my Basic Stamping series. If you missed Days 1 & 2, you can see them HERE and HERE. Today I want to show you a stamping technique called “masking.” This is a fun way to add some interest to your card without requiring…
Welcome back to my week-long series for beginning stampers. Today is Day 2 and the eve of Valentine’s Day, so I thought a card with hearts would be appropriate: This card utilizes one more of the sentiments from Sheltering Tree ~ “You warm my heart” ~ and I’ve added a…
This is my second post today, Monday, February 12. To see my early morning post, click HERE. I’ve had in mind to begin a week-long series specifically targeting new Stampers – those of you who are just getting started or have been stamping for just a short time. It seems…
This week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge board was created by my friend, Jeanie Stark, and I think she will be surprised to hear that I have been working on a card that fits her TTTC board perfectly! I am going down the right side, vertically, and including Celebrate, Floral, and…
Need a card that you can slip some $$ or a gift card into? This is an easy layout and perfect for that need. Instructions below. I used the Petal Passion DSP with Island Indigo cardstock and adhered three Bold Butterflies that were backed with Vellum. I want to thank…
There is NO stamping on this card! At least not on the outside, that is! I’ve taken an idea from Linda Heller and used the pink collection of Washi Tapes to create the large, focal point heart, then simple cropped out a variety of hearts using my Big Shot and…
There is something so rich about the color combination in this Specialty Designer Series Paper called Painted With Love. The gold foil accents with Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, and Calypso Coral are stunningly beautiful! The pictures do not do it justice, as the gold doesn’t really photograph well, but here…
I don’t normally post on Saturdays, but when I created this cute little valentine, I couldn’t wait to share it with you! Here is my mini valentine using Heart Happiness with Fruit Basket and Tutti-frutti DSP: When I saw the sentiment in Fruit Basket, I thought it would be a…
