To make today’s card, all you have to do is arrange a (clean & simple) wreath! It’s a very simple design but uses a couple of interesting techniques that you might be interested in trying. Take a look ~ I used Arrange a Wreath Stamp Set and came up with…
Here’s a super sweet little card, ready to send out to anyone for any reason. This potted plant comes in the stamp set called Basket of Blooms. I made a card using the basket in this set – see it here. This time I wanted to try the pot and…
Welcome to our July CASEing Coast to Coast post! If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know that once a month Rosanne Mulhern and I take turns designing a card that the other person CASEs. Rosanne lives in PA and I’m in CA, and through Stampin’ Up! we have…
I’ve been having fun with the World of Good products, specifically the Designer Series Paper and the Memories & More Card Pack. I created a card that could go masculine. All of these papers are designed with the traveler in mind. But I love this sentiment: “I think the world…
Happy Monday to you! Here’s one of my favorite color combinations in the 6″x 6″ Flowers For Every Season DSP pack – blue, blue, blue…and white! 🙂 I think these shades of blue are so classic and so pretty together. Since the card is rather mono-chromatic, I added a lot…

If this doesn’t wake you up, you probably need another cup of coffee! 🙂 I have not spent much time with Magenta Madness. It is one of the five new In Colors and is really an in-your-face color, wouldn’t you say? I put it together with Basket of Blooms (#153305)…
I am simply thankful for all the good things in my life! These times are a little scary. And when I feel like I’m unravelling, remembering what I have to be grateful for definitely helps ground me. I truly have much to be thankful for. This card is a simple reminder…

Here’s a fun little card to give someone who has just been through surgery and you want to tell them, “Hope you’re back on your feet soon.” The stamp set is called Back On Your Feet, appropriately enough! I love the little critters and the cheeky sentiments that go with…
Our August – December 2020 Mini Catalog (previously called Holiday Catalog) is coming out in a couple of weeks. That means it is time for a Holiday Paper Share! I know ~ it seems like we just did this a month ago, but time marches on, so here we go!…
On Wednesday I shared this daisy card in the Pals Blog Hop. Afterward I made up a set of simple notecards and a daisy box to put them in. They are kind of a companion project to this card and it would make a nice gift set. I gave the…
