I recently celebrated my birthday. One of the delightful side benefits to being affiliated with Stampin’ Up! is all the friendships you make all over the country and beyond. I live in California, signed up under Susan who lives in Maryland, and went to Atlanta for a Convention where I…
Have you ever made a card that just made you smile when you looked at the finished product? I had that reaction to this card! We have a friend who is turning 70, and I wanted something that would make a splash…. You’re right, nothing too splashy about this card,…
I’m still playing with Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper. This is a BIG pack of paper, so there is plenty to play with for lots of occasions! Today I made a birthday card ~ I used my Cake Builder Punch with the DSP to cut some fancy…
This card is beautiful from top to bottom! And it’s all due to the lovely Stampin’ Up! products that I’ve used to create it. You will find the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper in the Annual Catalog. I’ve chosen to feature it today because it has been placed…
Look who’s back! For those of you who have been waiting patiently for the return of the Cake Builder Punch, it is now once again available to order. Hooray! And going hand-in-hand, the Piece of Cake Bundle, which includes the punch is also available to order. Happy Day! Piece of…
I created this cute little Easter Egg Box – perfect size for a Cadbury Creme Egg or Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg! I made it in four different colors, using Needlepoint Nook DSP for a jumping-off point. They will be my thankyou gifts for my class participants this month. Aren’t they…
Dreaming of retirement? My friend was, and now she has! This card will help her get into a relaxed state of mind as she transitions into retirement! I think a trip to a tropical island would be just the ticket! For my card, I used Tropical Escape 6″ x 6″…
Top o’ the mornin’ to ye! I could not let St. Patrick’s Day go by without creating a fun card for my grandsons! This is a “search and rescue” card (I’ll explain in a minute!) The idea was born when I saw this banner from Festive Friday Challenge #29… What…

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…
