March is my birthday month! And even though it isn’t until the end of the month, I’m getting into the birthday mood. So I made you some cupcakes today to bring in a little Birthday Cheer! How about this color combo for cheerful?! Bermuda Bay, Pineapple Punch, Melon Mambo, and…
I have a quick Friday post for you. I received the free Painted Seasons bundle along with the purchased coordinating framelits yesterday, and I could not wait to open them and play! This paper makes me so happy ~ the colors are vibrant and rich. I adore it! Here is…
I have the sweetest little team that I am proud to call my friends in this stamping journey! Today we gathered at my house for some “team building!” I can call it that because each person brought a card and all the materials for the rest of us to build…
This card is simple, fun, and very green ~ it’s a piece of cake! The moment I saw this print in Happiness Blooms DSP, I knew I would be making a St. Patty’s Day card with it. The Call Me Clover green and shiny Gold Foil Sheet make me look…
I have accumulated quite a collection of Glimmer (aka glitter) Papers over the past years, but other than at Christmas time, I rarely use them. Then the Festive Friday Design Team came out with a challenge using Glimmer Paper this week… Game On! I have no idea what prompted me…
I had this idea… let’s see what you think!.. I thought I would blindly pick an older stamp set (still current, but from the Annual Catalog) and try to pair it with a newer set from the Occasions Catalog. So I closed my eyes, reached into the cupboard, and pulled…
It’s hard to believe that this beautiful stamp set would be free! It is one of the Sale-A-Bration selections in the first brochure. It’s called Lovely Lattice and you’ll find it on page 15. The sentiment is from Butterfly Gala and I think it looks like it was made to…
I had fun teaching the ladies in my class this week the “mirror-image stamping” technique with these wide-eyed frogs! And here they are, holding balloons to help celebrate somebody’s birthday…maybe yours? Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper makes a splashy backdrop and a colorful palette from which to create the balloons.…
Here’s another pretty, feminine card for you today ~ I made this one up mostly from the Floral Romance suite. It includes the Wonderful Romance Stamp Set, Wonderful Florals Framelit Dies, and Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper. The first thing I did was cut the right edge of a…
All My Love Designer Series Paper may have been my go-to valentine pack, but I had two of these beautiful floral Flirty Flamingo sheets left and I was excited to create something else with them. What I came up with is this ultra-fem card that I love! As I looked…
Every once in awhile, I think it’s fun to go back to some old products, pull them out and dust them off. When I saw that the banner for the Festive Friday Challenge included stars, I dug deep and found lots of long forgotten stuff! So I hope FF doesn’t…
Welcome to the Pals’ February blog hop. We’re so glad you’re here because it’s “Time to Sale-A-Brate”! Our Design Team created projects using Sale-A-Bration items to inspire you. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place.…
There is no denying that a bright yellow, black, and white note card with butterflies could bring a smile to your face, even in the darkest, coldest of days! Here is a little Spring in an envelope for you ~ It’s so simple and easy to duplicate. Emboss a 4-3/4″…
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…
