Happy Friday, Everyone! I’m really into purple right now. It hasn’t always been so, but with the introduction of Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather by Stampin’ Up!, it seems like I’m reaching for them more and more. Take this cake card for example ~ The cake image itself is stunning,…
This card is almost noisy! Ha! It is definitely on the wild side. True confessions: I had a pant suit in the mid-60’s that looked very much like this paper! Yes, I was a groovy 60’s chick 🙂 I will be very interested to hear your impressions…of the card, that…
Are you ready for some bright and happy? I just happen to have some for you ~ Love this explosion of color! Happiness Blooms is the very appropriately named DSP on this card. I used two prints and divided them with Night of Navy. I glued a piece of Vellum…
Does anything say “Spring!” to you more than a bright daisy? I’m looking forward to Spring and its milder temperatures, although we Californians have nothing to complain about! This is for all of you in the rest of the country who are experiencing extreme cold this week. I’m thinking of…
Something different for me today ~ a thank you card that is a bit more masculine, thanks to Wood Textures Designer Series Paper and the Thank You Thinlit Die. Any stamping will have to be reserved for the inside of this card, because that Thank You Thinlit is large! Maybe…
I’ve been making a lot of cards with the Meant To Be stamp set and Be Mine Stitched Framelit Dies. While making them, I was left with parts and pieces that I didn’t need for those cards. Throw them away? Never! Use them to your advantage and make something unexpected!…
This card was fun, fast, and nearly free! The purple background paper and the butterflies are both part of Botanical Butterflies Designer Series Paper, FREE with a purchase of $50 during Sale-A-Bration, now through March 2019. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Quick edit: Since creating this card, the ribbon which was also a free…
Here is the second in my series of Butterfly Gala Note Cards & Envelopes. This time I used the Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper with it, and I think these colors are so fresh and pretty. The gingham checks are reminiscent of my childhood ~ vintage, yet new again! The…
My friend, Jessica, asked me for some thank you note cards. She likes the smaller Note Card & Envelope size, so I’m creating a variety for her. I thought I’d start out with this one, using the Butterfly Gala stamp set and coordinating Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper ~ I…
I was NOT going to craft today! I have so many other things that need to get done. But that frog kept looking up at me, and I couldn’t resist! My husband says I’m addicted…maybe?…but not a bad addiction to have. I prefer to think of it as a habit…
I had so much fun making the last Z-Fold card that I decided to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) myself! This design will be one that I share with my class attendees tomorrow. I’ve decided to enter it into the Festive Friday Challenge #25 with the “stitching.” Here is the…
I have “rediscovered” Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper. You know how you use something for a while, move on to new products and forget the old? Then one day, you’re thumbing through your stash collection and fall in love with something you haven’t even looked at for a few months.…
Welcome to the Pals monthly blog hop. We’re so glad you’re here! January is all about making “Art from the Heart,” featuring projects for Valentines Day, Thinking of You, Get Well, or Sympathy. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve…
The Festive Friday #24 Challenge is to make a project using Letter Writing and/or Blue. I think I’ve meant both of these challenges with this card, designed with a blank sheet inside for writing a sweet note to my friend! The colors I used on this card are Blueberry Bushel,…
This is the second time I’ve used this stamp set, Amazing Life, this week. I think it’s going to be a favorite! How about a happy card for Friday? This big bold sentiment just jumps off the card after heat embossing and coloring the letters with Stampin’ Write Markers. I…
