This is a quick little note card that I whipped up for my card class next week. It’s very simple but with a technique we haven’t done before — the kissing technique! This is so fun and I love the stippled effect it has on the stamped image. Using the…
My grandson’s third birthday isn’t for awhile yet, but when I saw Susan Itell’s sketch challenge on Pals Paper Arts this week, this card popped into my head and I had to run with it!! Here is her sketch: There is a lot going on in this card! It’s super…
I’m squeaking this card into the Pals Paper Arts Challenge at the last minute! The challenge this week was to create a card using these three colors: I had been thinking I’d like to use this Shine On Specialty Paper, and the colors in it were exactly what I needed. …
We had a blast making these cards during a Watercolor Class that I offered last Friday night. We actually made it in a different color combination, but this was one I made to show an optional color choice. The idea for this card was inspired by my talented upline, Susan…
Lots of stars going on here! I was inspired by fellow stamper B. J. Peter’s card where she used a Decorative Mask. See it here. I remembered that I had bought one of these mask sets a long time ago and also realized that I had never used it! Time…

My sweet little 2 year old grandson loves balloons! So to thank him for the birthday present he gave me (a Peter Rabbit baking pan and spatula – isn’t that too cute?!) I made him a card with balloons all over it. I used the Balloon Punch and It’s My…
Last week I began a 5 day series that I’m calling Tribute to In Colors. These five gorgeous colors are going away soon, and this is a look at all five plus a reminder to get your supplies stocked before they either go away (early June) or are sold out…
This week I’ve been creating and posting cards that highlight the 2014 – 2016 In Colors. As you know, their life with Stampin’ Up! is about to end (May 31), and I thought it would be fun to send them off with a little tribute to each. I’ve shown Lost…
Ahhh, Mossy Meadow. I love the deep earthy color of this green. It’s so rich – will miss it! I tried something different on this card. I did a wrap around with the DSP (Botanical Gardens, Occasions Catalog) and stuck a little surprise flower sprig on the back. I don’t…
Today’s card features Hello Honey. Honest confession~ this was not my favorite In Color, until… Stampin’ Up! started pairing it with fresh colors like Cajun Craze, Blackberry Bliss, and now Mint Macaron! It took on new life, and now I love this honey yellow shade! The DSP from Botanical Gardens…
We are on the tail end of the 2014-2016 In Color era ~ I hate to see them go! These were some of my all-time favorite colors. Maybe (I’m hoping!) we will see them incorporated into the color collections at some point. But for now, I’m going to enjoy the…
On The Fence Here is my Pals Paper Arts entry for this week. And this is the Color Inspiration that drove my design: I love the soft colors that Michelle Gleeson chose for this week’s challenge – very Spring and Easter -like! There are some beautiful cards for you to…
Are you on the fence about joining Stampin’ Up? I have a story for you…. About 3 years ago, I found a web site by Susan Itell called Simple Stampin’. I think I probably found her while scrolling through the monthly Pals Blog Hop. Her style appealed to me, so…
I couldn’t let Tuesday go by without sharing the Weekly Deals with you! The Curvy Corner Trio Punch is the “big ticket item” this week. And I have a few photos of some quick and easy stationery that I whipped up. First, the stationery ~ Very simply, I cut…
