Today is my final card design for my Sunday Stamps Sketch Week. I’ve made a card with white poinsettias for the “grand finale!” This card is best seen up close & personal because it has lots of texture and shine that doesn’t quite translate through the photography. But trust me,…
Is there anything cuter than a Gnome home? I think NOT! This is Day 4 of my Sunday Stamp Sketch Week. I’ve turned the sketch on its side today and gave it a fun twist with Gnome for the Holidays. Mrs. Gnome is shyly hiding on the inside, waiting for…
Card #3 using the sketch challenge from Sunday Stamps is an Autumn card that shows off Stitched Leaves Dies. I used Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper for the layers over a Very Vanilla Thick Cardstock base. Take a close look at the stitching around and within the Copper Foil leaves!…
I’m going for sparkle and shine on today’s Snowflake Splendor card. This Designer Series Paper is a cool blend of blues and purples ~ so pretty! And today is Day 2 of my Sunday Stamps sketch challenge. If you remember from yesterday, I am trying several designs based on one…
Marmaduke loves to play ball! It makes his day so happy when you throw the ball for him! The thing that makes me happy is this Designer Series Paper! In fact, in case you haven’t figured this out about me, I love all of the designer papers from Stampin’ Up!…
Can you see the forest through the trees? Might be difficult in this dense evergreen forest! I used my new Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder and In the Pines Bundle to create this snowy scene. This embossing folder is so textural. It really gives the illusion of a 3 dimensional…
When I saw this cute fun fold on Dawn Olchefske’s blog, I knew I wanted to try it with my Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper! I don’t remember what she called it, but I’m going to call mine the Whale of a Time Pop-Out Panel Card. Let me…
I did the reverse stamping technique to create a full bouquet of leaves for this elegant blue vase. You’ll find the vase in the Basket of Blooms Stamp Set. I colored it with Night of Navy and Dark Smoky Slate Blends, then heat embossed the very bottom with white embossing…
Here’s a card that is sure to put a smile on someone’s face! I’ve combined Gnome For The Holidays with In The Pines. It’s a Gnome in the Pines Christmas card! Looks like Mr. Gnome is about to finish decorating the tree. He wants you to see the rest of…
Welcome to our monthly posting we call CASEing Coast to Coast! Last month, I CASEd Rosanne’s beautiful floral framed card (see it HERE). This month she will CASE my design, and I’ve chosen to show poinsettias from the Poinsettia Petals Bundle. I know it’s early for a Christmas card, really!…
I’m working with part of the Magic in this Night Suite today, bringing you a Halloween card. I don’t make a lot of Halloween cards, so I didn’t purchase the stamp set or dies that come in this suite. Instead, I used a stamp set that I purchased last year…
The Pals’ Blog Hop put me into a Fall mood! See it HERE if you missed it! I’m continuing my fall-ish theme with DSP from Gilded Autumn and the Gathered Leaves Dies. It’s another super simple design that let’s the DSP shine (literally, as it is embossed with gold and…

I’m just returning from a trip up north to see my oldest and youngest daughters, and #1 grandson. We had a great visit and were able to watch our grandson play two baseball games. He pitched the second game and was impressive! We love watching him play! So after a…
Have you gathered that I love Playing With Patterns? Today I’m playing with (birthday) patterns, and this particular print with the different colored lines just begged for randomly repeated stamping! I took the Happy Birthday stamp from Itty Bitty Greetings and started stamping, randomly, with the different colors of ink…
