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…
Here is another very easy card to make! All you need is the Designer Series Paper Stack called Serene Scenery. If you missed my Super Simple Saturday card using this stack, you can see it HERE. I’ve added a butterfly, a greeting, some gold thread and rhinestones, and it’s done…
Want a quick and simple card idea for Saturday (or any day!) This card couldn’t be any easier to put together, yet the Designer Series Paper stack called Serene Scenery makes it a work of art! The golds, greens and browns give the card an Autumn feel. I actually started…
When I got last month’s Paper Pumpkin, I thought there would be a very good chance that I would use the little boxes for Halloween Treats, and here are my first two to show you! Once I purchased the Spooky Fun Stamp Set with the coordinating Designer Series Paper and…
Christmas cards are popping up all over the internet. With the new 2016 Holiday Catalog in the hands of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators everywhere, there are many wonderful projects being shared daily. Just a few more days and you will be able to order from this catalog too! How exciting!! I…
I let my imagination go with this sketch for the Pals Paper Arts Challenge this week! ~ Can you see it? I haven’t had this stamp set very long and was eager to use it. I love the little fish and underwater images and the way it all pairs…
A few days ago I posted a picture and directions to a small milk carton container that I decorated to give to a teacher friend of mine on the first day of school. (See that post here.) That day is tomorrow, so I’ve made a card to go with it.…
I had seen this tip on my friend’s blog a long time ago. At the time I thought, what a good idea! Then I didn’t do it, and the other day I got so frustrated with my lack of organization and my re-inkers that I remembered that tip… So here…
Good Morning! It’s the beginning of a brand new week and all I can say is, man the summer is flying by fast! Our neighborhood kids are back in school. The days are getting shorter ~ but it’s still super hot out! I am longing for cooler weather… I stayed…
Today is my final post in a set of three that features Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper on a pack of Notecards that I made for my daughter-in-law. While she is spending many hours at the hospital tending to our new grandson, some lovely friends of ours have been taking…
Yesterday I shared two of the cards I made in this 6-pack of thank you notes that I will be giving my daughter-in-law. These are all made with the Fruit Stand DSP, which couldn’t be more perfect for notes to thank someone for a gift of a meal. See my…
There is nothing more satisfying to me than making a gift for someone that is practical, pretty, and handmade. It’s so easy to do with Stampin’ Up!’s choice of papers, stamps, and coordinating products. My son and daughter-in-law are juggling jobs, dissertations, a 2 1/2 year old boy, and a…
I got a new stamp set in the mail yesterday and I couldn’t wait to play with it! But instead of just venturing out on my own I thought I’d browse Pinterest first. I found a card that I immediately knew I wanted to try. So this card is a…
