Yup, another deadline missed for a challenge. I’ve had my Cottage Greetings card kit open on my craft table for over a month now. I kept looking at it, pondering alternatives and getting distracted by other card ideas. I’ve decided the reason I’m having a difficult time putting it together because it’s theme is English […]
Annual Catalog
I love Connie’s Stamping Girls Gone Wild weekend challenge!
It’s been a while since I had time and inspiration, but I finally had a chance to create 2 cards for 2 different challenges this weekend – WooHoo (see yesterday’s card here). Today’s card was for Connie Stewart’s Stamping Girls Gone Wild 3-5-16 weekend challenge’s template that spoke to me…actually it screamed at me! I had a idea, […]
It was a great weekend for challenges, for me anyway!
I follow a number of fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators and their card challenges for inspiration in my paper crafting. I’m always planning on entering the various challenges, but invariably I seem to miss the deadline, or just can’t quite pull the desired look I want together. This weekend has been one of my “definitely on” times, […]
#imbringingbirthdaysback – oh yes!
This year, Shannon West from Stampin’ Up! home office decided she was starting a campaign called #imbringingbirthdaysback. And now a lot of us are following along with her. Of course, you’ve probably noticed all the birthday cards I’ve been making and posting in preparation for my own #imbringingbirthdaysback (and all other card giving occasions!) campaign […]
Sympathy cards, a special card for a sad occasion
It’s not something most of us like to think about, but we all need a sympathy card at some point in time. I have a hard time creating one on the spot when I need it most. So I’m always looking for new templates and ideas to use to create cards I can keep on hand. A couple of […]
Something old turned on it’s side becomes new!
Several years ago there was a template that made a shirt or tuxedo for masculine cards. But lately there have been a lot of cards using this template with the folds turned to the side. I loved the original idea and made several “guy” cards for the men in my family. And now here’s my take on […]
Tin of Cards, it’s like the Tin Man from Oz. Lots of heart on the inside!
Tin of Cards, what a great idea for a card kit! Includes supplies to make 16 cards, 4 of each of the 4 designs. And then the cutest decorated tin box to store them in until you need to send a card! And it’s on sale this week, how cool is that??!! Watch the video […]
Soft colors – perfect for this girly birthday card
I’ve been talking about all the birthday cards I made up 2 weekends ago to build up my “stash” for upcoming birthdays. I took all my cards into work last Thursday to show several co-workers who also stamp the fruit of my labors (BTW-nice pun my sweet hubby said. We do research on getting kids to eat fruit […]
The Big 6 – 5 birthday for my brother-in-law!
Saturday was my dad’s 89th birthday (see his special card here) and my husband’s brother’s 65th birthday. Glad it’s him and not me (ha-ha, but not far behind!). I made this card for one of last years SGGW weekend challenges and I’ve been saving it for a special birthday. I figured a 65th birthday was special enough […]
