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…

Another en-deer-ing card for you today! Happy Friday! I used the Detailed Deer Thinlit on this card that I CASEd from Stampin’ Up! This card has the most gorgeous Designer Paper ever, called Joyous Noel Specialty DSP. I think Stampin’ Up! did a marvelous job on their Holiday designer papers…
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…

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…
For my holiday themed project this week, I’ve designed a cute cardstock box that holds four Narrow Note Cards & Envelopes. This box is a project that I CASEd from Janice Urke. I decorated it differently by using the In The Woods Framelits Dies and All Is Bright Designer Series…
