Here’s a clean and simple (CAS) thank you card for you today. It’s a quicky – you could make several of them easily in 1/2 hour. I used the pre-cut and scored Note Card & Envelope for this card. These come ready to use, in a great size –…
It’s time to think about writing those thank you cards for Christmas gifts. This sweet little card was inspired by the Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge and here is the sketch that I created from: As usual, I have Christmas DSP left over, so what better opportunity to use…
When Be The Star stamp set came out on Weekly Deals yesterday, I immediately started thinking about how I could use the stamps for a Happy New Year card. This is what I came up with: It’s super sparkly, thanks to the silver Glimmer Paper that is also on sale…
I know this is a bit of a stretch for my Pals Paper Arts entry. The sketch that inspired me is this: I started off with the house image in an oval, but decided that I liked it stamped directly on the light blue “sky” with snowfall. I ended up…
Oh my goodness! Are these seriously cute or what?! Pardon me while I geek out just a little! I have made it an annual tradition to bake Christmas goodies and take plates of them to my neighbors. I needed a card to put with them, and this little 3 x…
This is a card that is so clean and simple and can be used for many different occasions. You could easily make several in different colors with different sentiments and package them into a gift box. Here are the particulars: Whisper White card base 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″, Lost…
It’s a color challenge at Pals Paper Arts this week! Here is the banner that I used to create my card: Look at all the beautiful cards created this week over at the PPA site by clicking HERE. For my card, I used the poinsettia print and the…
Do you have a color that you just can’t let go of? This is mine – Midnight Muse. I wish Stampin’ Up! would bring it back. It was definitely one of my favorite In Colors. Another birthday request…this time for a 40 year old man. I originally envisioned 40 candles…
A little break from Christmas cards… My friend asked me to make a birthday card for her 12 year old daughter. When I saw this card that Susan Itell had made, I thought…perfect! I changed it only slightly, as it really was just what I was looking for. The image…
My card today was inspired by Connie Babbert. She used the poinsettia from Reason for the Season, but since I don’t have that set, I pulled out last year’s Joyful Christmas and made it work! I love the combination of Cherry Cobbler and Gold. The addition of Crumb…
What is more welcoming than a bright Christmas wreath on your front door? I CASEd this layout from Jill’sInk, and although it’s very similar to my Halloween Door card, I love the Antique Brad for a door knob and the colors of Soft Suede and Very Vanilla. A quick sponging…
I had a fun, creative tag-making class yesterday! It was a bit chaotic, in a good way, as everyone was choosing what they wanted to make and then giving it their own touches. I had a box of scraps, ready cut pieces for tags in different colors, and framelits, stamps,…
Good Monday Morning! As we are approaching December (tomorrow!) I am thinking about gifts that I will be giving my family. Wait — don’t tell me you are all done with your shopping! In my dreams! My own children are grown and two have families of their own now. And…
Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all of you! My daughter and grandson are here for the weekend and we are enjoying their visit so much! Isaac has always had fun making cards with me and he jumped at the chance to make one for his teacher this morning. He picked the…
Can you tell how much I love this stamp set? This is my third post in a row using it. Definitely my current favorite. I was inspired by a card I saw on Linda Heller’s site. I hadn’t done much sponging before and she had some very good tips for…
