Nobody wants to have to make a sympathy card, but when you need one, isn’t it nice that Stampin’ Up! supplies us with beautiful images to use? For example, this lovely flower image in Southern Serenade ~ This set comes in Clear-Mount or Wood-Mount red rubber. I used Thick Whisper…
We are down to the last week in July 2018 and I want to remind you of some of the opportunities that you won’t want to miss during this month only! First of all is the Buy 3 Get 1 Free Designer Series Paper (DSP) Sale! If you purchase three…
Do you love Accented Blooms, but don’t want to do all the coloring? Here’s a pretty idea that requires NO coloring, yet it’s quite stunning nevertheless… I stamped the image with Versamark Ink on a panel of Crumb Cake, then sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and used my Heat…
I made a birthday card using Painted Harvest in colors from the Subtles collection ~ If you’re a Demonstrator with Stampin’ Up! you might think this looks familiar! One of the benefits of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is a quarterly publication called Stampin’ Success, in which there are many…
Garden Impressions gives you a “treat” of a card when paired with Treat Time Stamp Set. This is one of the cards my stamping group made yesterday in our monthly class. Every card was slightly different, as I gave each person their own piece of Garden Impressions DSP along with…
Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I’m starting off the week with a birthday card that I made for my friend whose birthday is today ~ Happy Birthday Shary! I used Varied Vases with Nature’s Poem DSP: I am down to my last few bits of…
As I was preparing my card for the Pal’s Blog Hop on Wednesday, I was thinking I might show off another of the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper, which started me on a process of card-building and re-building. I made my card and it just wasn’t what I had been…

It’s a beautiful summer day to enjoy life! This card reminds me of my daughter who runs marathons early in the morning. She is raising her arms in victory with the sunrise behind her. When I saw this silhouette stamp I knew I wanted to try creating a sunburst behind.…
I had the opportunity to attend a stamping event held by a fellow demonstrator, Janice Urke, last week. I had so much fun making cards that were designed, prepped, and organized by her! It was a real treat! I want to show you some of the cards we made. I…
I learned this fun new “round ‘n round” technique from Linda Heller, and couldn’t wait to try it out! I cased her circle piece and added it to my own color blocking design. Here’s my card ~ This technique uses the Stamparatus. If you don’t have one yet, I encourage…
Today’s card is fast and fun ~ you can make several in no time and be ready for a relaxing weekend! It’s all about the colors and layering on this card. The Happy Birthday Thinlits in Tranquil Tide really pop against the pale Soft Sea Foam. Both colors, along with…
I have another Varied Vases card for you today with one of my favorite colors, Bermuda Bay. I want to credit Chris Smith for this vase arrangement. I changed it just a little, by putting the vases on a shelf and by using Blends to color them rather than Watercolor…
A summer birthday calls for a beach scene, don’t you think? I mixed up several stamp sets to bring you this summery, beachy scene ~ The chair and sentiment are from Colorful Seasons, the water, birds, and sun are from High Tide, and the sand and sun sparkles are from…
