When you go to OnStage, there are always several Make & Takes that you get to put together with a table group. These are (in my short experience) always showcasing new products that are about to be released. These products will be available to the public in January of 2019…
I’m flying home today after an amazing week in Orlando, FL ~ It was a fun and busy Stampin’ Up! OnStage Convention and a super fun week with these ladies and about 6,000 other stamping enthusiasts! It was Stampin’ Up’s 30th Anniversary and they put on quite a party for…

Here is a quick and easy birthday card for you today ~ I took the idea for the layout from Su Mohr, who always does beautiful work. Hers was in a masculine palette, but because I needed it for a girlfriend, I changed the colors to Gray Granite, Merry Merlot,…
Halloween is this Wednesday, and I’m rushing to get a card made for my grandsons! So I made this cute peek-a-boo card using the Seasonal Chums stamp set and coordinating framelits ~ I think they are going to like the surprise of seeing the back of the Jack-O-Lantern when they…
Amidst the fervor for Holiday cards, we still need birthday cards, and this past month has busy with birthdays! Here is a card that I created from the beautiful Love What You Do and Share What You Love DSP. I realized that this set had taken a back seat to…
I borrowed the stamp set Bella & Friends from my stamping friend to make a cutie birthday card for my grandson who turned 5 years old this week! I used Blueberry Bushel with Granny Apple Green for the card. Don’t they pair well together? So bright and cheerful! After stamping…

If you have ever lived in a place where they have a “silver frost” in the winter, you might appreciate the look I was going for on my card today! It is SO hard to capture on the camera, but my grove of trees has been bedazzled and it is…
Happy Monday to you! I’m bringing you a Christmas card early in the week. As we get closer to the Holidays, they will be coming more frequently. But I had another reason to post this today…the Festive Friday challenge is “Stripes” this week! I found this festive Cherry Cobbler/Whisper White…
This card was hard to photograph, as the textures got a little lost, but I want you to imagine it with lots of raised areas in the white background and in the two die cut leaves. The base is made with Thick Whisper White Cardstock. I added a Cajun Craze…
