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…
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!…
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…
