Fall colors are so warm, soothing and they make a great card for either a I’m thinking of you card, a sympathy card or to cheer someone up. This week’s MOJO469 template was a great one to showcase the retired Retro Fresh DSP and all it’s wonderful patterns and fall colors. I finished the card Monday night and […]
Annual Catalog
Give Thanks for Fall
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 […]
