I made this special card for my granddaughter’s 13th birthday card. I’m posting it a little early since I put it in the mail yesterday for her February 12 birthday (hoping she doesn’t see my blog before receiving it). And yes, I’m on time for once in sending a card – my family will be shocked! I made her card using the PCC229 challenge and […]
Birthday cards
Sweet & Sassy layered Hearts
Yesterday I shared two cards I created this past weekend for the SGGW weekend challenge. If you missed yesterday’s post, see them here. As I was cleaning up my craft table, I had a variety of small circles and hearts leftover that I had cut out from Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe (retired Stampin’ Up! colors) and […]
Festive Birthday and Falling Petals for SGGW weekend challenge
Another great weekend creating and designing cards for me! I love participating in challenges since it gives me a basic start for my card inspriations. As usual, Connie Stewart’s Stampin’ Girls Gone Wild weekend challenge is a great one to get me going. This weekend I ended up creating two different cards using her template. […]
A 75th birthday to celebrate
Last Friday I got to celebrate with some dear friends of mine who I’ve known for over 35 years now. Since three of our birthdays are within 2 weeks of each other during January-February, we try to get together each year for a birthday lunch. The fourth friend’s 65th birthday was late November (you can see the card […]
Sunshine Wishes with Love – Valentine or Birthday card?
Here’s my card for this week’s MOJO481. I laid this card out with different papers, different sizes and finally had to walk away for a day because it just wasn’t working the way I envisioned it. Then yesterday, it all came together like I wanted and this is my final card! Is it a Valentine’s Day […]
Finally, A day to celebrate with FMS271
Yes, I said finally…read to the end and you’ll see why I titled my post this way! I decided to create another Valentines Day card with this week’s FMS271 sketch. This time I used the So in Love stamps and the So Detailed thinlit dies bundle to create a simple, elegant card. But as I looked […]
Balloon Adventures, shaking it up for you
This is my second post for the day, see my earlier post about my new “Bee” Rewards program here. This past week I made a lot of birthday cards and almost all used the Balloon Adventure stamp set – I love this set! Today’s card uses it again, but this time I also used the […]
Cupcakes and carousels, but where are they?
As you know, I tend to like bright colors better, so wanted to challenge myself with something else for my next birthday card creation. I pulled out my more subtle Cupcakes & Carousels paper stack to find a paper for my next card and was surprised to see no cupcakes and only one carousel in the whole group. […]
A flagship birthday for FMS270
I’m having so much fun with all my new things from the Stampin’ Up!. Today’s card uses the new Cupcakes and Carousels paper stack from the Occasions catalog and my free stamp set “Any Occasion” from the Sale-a-bration catalog. As I said last week, I have lots of birthday cards to make for January and February for family […]
