I’m still creating cards for Thanksgiving and fall birthdays using my retired DSP. This wonderful fall plaid is from the Happy Haunting DSP. What? Yes, it’s from a Halloween paper set. If you turned the black dot side over you have entirely different theme with this fun plaid! That’s what I love about Stampin’ Up! double-sided […]
Swirly Scribbles for Fall
I’m trying to make myself create fall card instead of Christmas cards (I love Christmas!), so this weekend’s SGGWWC was a good template for that. I used fall colors, Soft Suede, Tangerine Twist (retired in-color), Early Expresso and Cajun Craze, the fall colors in the north, but definitely not here in southern Texas! We still have […]
Fall Suite Seasons-MOJO468
This week’s challenges on a number of the websites I follow have been awe-inspiring! I’ve made a number of cards for various challenges, all have been Christmas cards. But I needed some fall cards, and this week’s MOJO468 challenge seemed to shout “fall card” to me. I used Tangerine Tango for the card base with pieces from […]
Candy Cane Christmas card for last Friday’s SGGWWC
I’ve often talked about how I use templates for creating my cards. They give me a starting point for inspiration for my cards. Once I have a layout in mind, I can spend my time playing with my various DSP, embellishments and stamp sayings to come up with something I like. As I’ve said many times, sometime the card just falls into place […]
Greetings from Santa for FMS257
I loved last week’s FMS template and the card I made, so I was really excited when I saw this week’s template. I knew exactly what I wanted to use for this challenge – the new Detailed Santa thinlit die! I’ve been waiting for just the right template to create this card! This card came together […]
A fast, easy baby card using Project Life cards!
I have a lot of retired Stampin’ Up! Project Life cards and accessory packs, more than I can ever use for my memory keeping journals! So I decided to start using some of them to make cards. I mentioned yesterday that I created a “green and yellow” themed baby card for my niece’s baby shower […]
Baby Aggie on the way!
We were all so excited when one of my nieces announced they had an “Aggie” on the way. (Her and her husband are both Texas A&M grads, hence the cute announcement on their FB page). And when she announced her due date – November 25 – wow…it’s her and her mother, my sister’s birthdays! Wouldn’t that […]
Holiday card for FMS256 challenge
I got a chance this past weekend to create a card for this past week’s FMS256 template challenge (due today, nothing like posting at the last minute!). It’s always fun (and sometimes a challenge) to use templates to create my cards. They give me a starting point to begin my creations. This week’s template was a very simple […]
