Just a quick post for you this Tuesday morning. I have an easy layout for you to follow today with one big JOYFUL stamp from the Wonderful Year Stamp Set. I chose to keep the embellishments to a minimum on this card, letting the DSP do all the work. It…
I am wild about this stamp set! It is Wild About Flowers and it is mostly a set for retirement cards. Not quite ready for retirement cards? Well, keep the sentiments for a later date but use the beautiful collection of wild flower stamps now! I got my idea…
I “borrowed” (CASEd in stamping lingo) this color palette from Bruno Bertucci. I love the combination of Night of Navy with Tip Top Taupe. It could go very masculine, but my little scallop oval kind of makes it a bit more feminine. Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper is the…
Wow! As neutral as my post was on Monday, this one is packed with color! This birthday card and treat bag have a very tropical feel, which is what the designers of Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper were going for, I’m sure. My card is a simple layout, with…
I thought I’d try a white and silver card today. It turned out super sparkly ~ much more than the camera captured. I love it! But there are some tricks to working with Foil Sheets and Glimmer Paper. I thought you might like to hear what I learned from this…
This is what I call an All-Purpose card. It can be used for many different occasions, anything from birthday to sympathy and everything in between. Kind of bright and flirty ~ I think it would give the recipient a pick-me-up if they needed one! The best part is it’s simple…
Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for October 2016. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes. This month our projects feature cards made using “wicked” folds. What is a “wicked” fold? It is anything other than the standard A2…
Can you get any more bright and cheerful than Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper? And with all the coordinating products in this suite, you can create something new every day from now till Christmas! I’m using a classic card design that Linda Heller mentioned in her recent post. She…
Do you love the prints and patterns on This Christmas Designer Series Paper as much as I do? This particular one with the pine boughs, cherry and green flowers, and pinecones is one of my favorite. With the sheet music on the back, I thought the collar fold would be…
Welcome to my blog! I will be featuring cards that showcase the Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Papers that are on sale during the month of October 2016 for the next few posts. Yes! Buy three Designer Series Papers (DSP for short) and get one free! There are so many great…
Ever have an idea in your head that looks amazing in your imagination, but just never quite meets your expectations when you put it together? I hate to admit this, but this card has been through many alterations! It started off in Chocolate Chip with a window for the sentiment,…
Good Monday morning to all of you! I hope you had a relaxing weekend, or if not relaxing I hope it was enjoyable! My sister-in-law and I went out on Lake Natoma for one more paddle boarding session before they closed up the rentals for the season. It was a…
After 30+ years of being our family dentist (three generations of us, I might add) our beloved Dr. Smith is retiring! I wish him well, but really want to say, “You can’t!” I’m being mature though, and instead I’ll send him a nice card and tell him what a great…
My first Merry Monday challenge! Today’s challenge is to make a Christmas card with pinks and grays or silver ~ ~ so I decided pink and silver trees would work. Plus I made them as sparkly as I could! I started with a base of Smoky Slate and added…
This is one of the cards that my stamping groups made this month. I think they turned out very pretty! I love the copper accents and that sweet little pinecone embellishment. The Thoughtful Branches Bundle is the star of this card. It is still available, as of Sunday, but won’t…
