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…
No, I’m not from the South, but I couldn’t help myself with this title! Fall is here ~ my favorite time of year! And these little trees show the changing colors that we are starting to notice outside. This stamp set is the limited set, Thoughtful Branches. I have heard…
Today is a special day and calls for a special card. My son, Nathan, is turning 36 years old today. Happy Birthday, Nathan! I can’t believe he is 36 already. Where did those years go??? When I asked him what he would like for his birthday, he sent me a…
POW! What an explosion of color! At first as I was thinking about how I wanted this card to look, I never would have thought I’d end up with this Moroccan print. But the colors were right…and the more I looked at it, the more I thought…why not? The focal…
We’re going super sweet today with Candy Cane Lane suite products! This is a very quick card to put together and all the different elements are so cute. I cut a hill from a Whisper White scrap that was 4 1/4″ x 2″, and glued it directly onto the Crumb…
I got my idea for this fun Halloween card from the 2016 Holiday Catalog. But it isn’t a card in the catalog, it’s a treat bag! This is an example of how you can take a picture from the catalog (or anywhere) and change it up slightly to make it…
Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for September 2016. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes. This month our projects represent our favorite year end Season. It may be Autumn, Winter, Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas (and maybe even a combination!)…
I have a lot of friends with fall birthdays. When the PPA challenge came out yesterday with these three colors, I thought they were perfectly suited for a fall card! Here is the Pals Paper Arts banner that got me started: I love fall colors! This tree image from Sheltering…
I think I’ve mentioned that I enjoy making little scenes with my stamping products. When I saw this card by Linda Heller, I was on it right away! This was such a fun card to make, but definitely not the quick and easy card that I’ve been showing lately. This…
