I’m taking a fresh look at some old favorites this week. These products were popular last year and Stampin’ Up! decided to bring some of them back for another season. Others appeared in the 2020-21 Annual Catalog, as did this Perfectly Plaid stamp set. I’ve paired it with our new…
Remember this fun little guy from last year? He’s back and cute as ever! A few favorites from 2019 were carried over into this year’s catalogs. While I’ve been mostly focusing on new products, I didn’t want to overlook some of these returning ones. So I have added new DSP,…
Here’s more Trimming the Town for Christmas in our little fictitious village! For this card, I did not use any stamps on the front! This is completely done with the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper (on sale now!) and the Home Together Dies! I cut three snow hills with…
Welcome to our October CASEing Coast to Coast! Last month I CASEd Rosanne’s card. You can see those cards HERE. This month I have created a slimline card (for the very first time) and I think they are really fun! It definitely gives you a bigger “canvas” to work with,…
Let’s trim the town! Christmas is coming. I know, it’s still early, but not too early to start making your cards. And this card is a bit like the very beginning of the season! The Beetle is bringing home the tree to set up and decorate. One of the houses…

Happy Wednesday to you! Today I’m taking a rare departure (partially) from Stampin’ Up! to create an autumn mosaic for GDP #261. It’s a color challenge with Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, and Mint Macaron. I thought it would be fun to paper piece this Gentle Leaf Collage by Poppystamps. Here is…

You can almost hear the bells jingling with the sounds of the season! I love these bells, cut and embossed from the Sounds of the Season Dies. I’ve cut them from Copper Foil Sheets to match the copper stars in the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper. Tip: If you don’t…
We had such a good time up at Donner Lake this week! I made a sunflower thank you card for the couple that invited us to join them for a brief vacation. They took their kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. We all took our golf clubs. We played on the lake,…
