I do not think you could find any more beautiful paper than this! It is part of the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! So I’m sharing what I love on this card today. My card base is Tranquil Tide. I cut two different patterns…
I featured this no-glue, self-closing box in my May Newsletter. If you are a subscriber, you have already seen it, and hopefully have tried it! I thought I would show it here for those of you who have not yet subscribed to my free monthly newsletter. If you like what…
Happy Mother’s Day to all moms, grandmas, great-grandmas out there! This is a repeat post. You may have seen it HERE, but I thought it worthy of a replay today! I hope you are able to get out and enjoy the day with your families today! This card features the…
When I saw this Impossible Card by Linda Heller, I had to try it right away! I’m always intrigued by different folds and this one has an interesting “twist” to it!!! (literally!) It’s made with one piece of cardstock. Doesn’t that seem impossible? It’s actually incredibly easy, and the fact…
One of my favorite masculine stamp sets, Guy Greetings, is about to retire. May 31st will be the last day to buy this set from the catalog. If you don’t have it, I would recommend getting it. We haven’t had a set come out since that is anything like it!…

I have one more card for Mother’s Day, in case anyone is still looking for an idea. This is very similar to one I posted last week (see it HERE) but with a few important changes. I cut and scored this Marina Mist card stock base to be a side…
Today I’m mixing a bit of new with a bit of old, and calling it Throwback Thursday. It’s really a mix up of several different years ~ a taste of my craft room, if you will! I am soooo excited about my new (to me) baby bundle, A Little Wild!…
Here’s a sweet card using Flying Home stamp set* for Mother’s Day. The mama bird with her babies just seemed perfect for the occasion! This card measures 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ square, so it fits into a regular Medium Envelope, although a custom envelope with a fun print would be so…
A Mother’s Flair is an ideal stamp set for a Mother’s Day card. It has four great sentiments with four retro images that are super cute! This set will be retiring as of May 31, 2018, but you can still buy it in time for Mother’s Day. I am…
Last week I invited you to leave me on comment on my new blog site and I offered a card kit for a randomly selected (through random.org) person. Today I picked a winner! She will receive the parts and pieces to make this card ~ and that winner is….…
Sunday was my husband’s birthday. Does anything say “relaxing” like Adirondack chairs by the water? We have a couple of these by our pool, so this card was a little piece of our backyard, Dogwoods and all! I started with a top fold, thick Whisper White cardstock base. After cutting…
Do you love what you do? I love crafting and making cards with Stampin’ Up! products, like this new stamp set called Love What You Do. It will be available as an early release item on May 1st. It will be available as an a la carte item or within…
Do you have a dapper dad or granddad that wears a bow tie? My dad was more of the golf shirt type, but I know there are some gentlemen out there that do! Here is a Father’s Day Card for that gent! My inspiration for this card actually started with…
It’s a happy day in Granite Bay! The strawberry stands opened today and I was right there to buy some yummy local berries! I’ll be buying several baskets next week to put up some of my fresh strawberry jam. But for now, I brought them home and reached for the…
