I got the idea for this card from a post by B. J. Peters. Mine is not quite as elaborate as hers, but a similar look. First I stamped a piece of 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ Whisper White with the Hardwood Background Stamp in Sahara Sand. Then I cropped…
Oh, how I love this Botanical Blooms Bundle! There are so many dies to cut out flowers and leaves of different shapes and sizes. And the combinations you can come up with seem endless! If you haven’t considered this bundle yet, I would encourage you to take another look. It…
Here is my last batch of swaps that I received at a Stampin’ Up! retreat in February. If you missed my other swap posts you can see them here, here and here. I think it’s fun to see what other people are creating, and I hope you do too! This…
Terry has been my friend since 7th grade. We are turning – well, a special age – this year. Her birthday is today, mine will follow in 27 days. This birthday definitely calls for a couple glasses of celebratory champagne! Even though this champagne glass stamp has been retired for…
Today’s card was inspired by this week’s Pals Paper Arts Challenge. And here is the sketch that got me started: I had all the parts and tried to put them together just like the sketch, but it just wasn’t working for me! Ever happen to you? So I rearranged things…

I mentioned last week that I would share the rest of my swap cards that I received at the Stampin’ Up! Retreat in Phoenix earlier this month. I didn’t realize how many I had left to share with you ~ so I’m going to post half of them today and…
Our Pals Paper Arts Challenge this week is a color challenge, and as you can see we were to make a card using Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, and Night of Navy. As I was looking at these colors together, I couldn’t help but think – wedding! So that is what…
Following a layout that Julie Davison shared on her website, I made this sweet little card with English Garden DSP. You’ll find this “hello” stamp in Endless Birthday Wishes. See Julie’s post with measurements HERE. My base card is Wild Wasabi and the pink is Rose Red. I have plans…

Quick and simple ~ sometimes that’s all you need! My daughter loves this little card. “No flim flam, just beautiful colors together and a pretty font. That’s all you need.” Well…sometimes I love all those embellishments and “flim flam” but I needed to put together a super quick thank you…
