I have a friend named Pat who has always used pink and silver for her Christmas decorations. This card is for her! The picture doesn’t really do it justice, as it sparkles and has lots of shine. I used the trees from Wonderland and stamped them in Basic Gray, twice…
It’s not often that I make a card with products other than Stampin’ Up! This is one of those rare occasions. My son and daughter-in-law are about to celebrate their third anniversary. Their wedding had beautiful, vintage-like decorations in coppers and golds. I found this paper in a local craft…
Occasionally, we have to send out sympathy cards, and sadly I needed one to send out this week. The original design for this card was from Julie Davison. I changed it up slightly to open as a regular A2 card, allowing me more room for a note inside. The color…

I realized that my friend’s birthday was coming up, so I went through my collection of previously made cards. I found this one which is perfect as the inside says, “to someone who makes others so happy.” I tend to think I need to make new cards for each occasion,…
How about a little sparkle and shine for this weeks Pals Paper Arts challenge? Here is the banner that inspired my design: I saw the square in the middle and went right for this square-shaped sentiment in my newly acquired “Six Sayings” host set. I also have a new…
I’m back after what seemed like a long stretch on traveling! It was all wonderful, but I missed my stamping and blogging, so I’m very glad to be able to bring you my latest wreath project. I found the original layout to this card on Pinterest, created last year by…
