I typically receive my monthly Paper Pumpkin box a good 10-14 business days after the 10th of the month…sigh. So this weekend, as I’m waiting for March’s Paper Pumpkin box, I pulled out my February “Bouquet of Hope” paper pumpkin kit. I looked at the directions and example cards and headed out on my own […]
Celebrations
Ice Cream and sprinkles – what better way to celebrate a birthday?
Yesterday I shared 3 Birthday Bonanza triple-fold cards I made for my granddaughter and several nieces (see here). Today’s card is for my cousin’s wife. I cut a 5-1/2″ x 12″ piece of the ice cream cones/candles DSP from the retired Birthday Bonanza DSP. Score the DSP along the 12″ side at: 4-1/4″ (this will […]
Kid’s Birthday Bonanza Triple-fold cards
I learned another way to use Stampin’ Up! wonderful DSP, rather than hoard them. Instead of the standard cardstock card base, use your favorite DSP! All you need is a piece of 5-1/2″ x 12″ piece of your favorite DSP, a few scraps of matching cardstock colors and a stamp set. You can also use […]
Dragonflies in Flower & Field DSP gift card
I occasionally need a gift card holder card and I’m always looking for new ways to create them. I learned a new one from the “Creativate Winter 2021” online stamping retreat I attended. Very interesting card. It was part of a “Mystery Stamp” session. In the past, I’ve been successful in creating a card I […]
Is it too late to share Christmas cards?
I just wanted to pop these cards in between my new Mini catalog cards. I actually got all my Christmas cards made and sent before Christmas this year – WOW!! But I never got a chance to share some of them with you, so I thought I’d do that…a little late. I used the Feels […]
More Dandy Garden cards for special days
The Dandy Garden suite has made it fun and easy to create a lot of all occasion cards. Today’s can be used for special friends and days, which is especially important during this time of social isolation. I used the Dandy Garden Memories & More card pack along with the DSP to make these quick […]
Dandy Garden Happy birthday cards
Another set of cards using the Dandy Garden suite. This time I focused just on quick and simple birthday cards since I need a lot of them for January and February birthdays. This card, on a Basic White card base, used another of the 4″ x 6″ Memories & More cards and a piece of […]
Dandy Garden – easy cards
I finally began creating cards with my new Dandy Garden suite stamps and DSP from the new Mini Catalog. I ordered this suite for the virtual Stampin’ Up! OnStage at home virtual event I attended. It’s been fun creating these cards with this suite. This card uses a Mossy Meadow card base and one of […]
Fall card redos – another class card remake
As I was explaining last week (see post here), I’m trying to finish projects “from by-gone days!” I took leftover card kit pieces from several fall card kits I had to create these cards using the Freshly Made Sketch templates as inspiration. As I’ve said many times, if you need inspiration, go see FMS or any […]
