Well, not quite for me. Even though I have a number of the new spring Stampin’ Up! products from the Mini Catalog (January 5-February 28), I’ve made myself clean out my stamp room, again. This time I got serious and sent over 225 retired stamp sets (can you believe anyone could have that many??!) to […]
Celebrations
Whale of a Time with curvy waves
With creative curves and wonderful waves, the Quite Curvy Stamp Set and coordinating Curvy Dies add texture and dimension to any paper project! And combined with my Whale of a Time DSP, I made these two great “underwater” cards! On my first card I used the curvy “bubbles” die. NOTE: be sure to look carefully […]
Celebrate Every Special Moment – with a handmade card
While I love having a stash of stamp sets and other supplies for specific seasons and special occasions (way too many according to my husband, he avoids looking in my craft room for just that reason – LOL!), I like to keep a selection of versatile options on hand for simple and convenient crafting. With […]

Are you taking time to enjoy our fall weather before starting your holiday projects? So am I! We finally have “fall” temperatures in the low 70’s during the day, high 40’s, low 50’s at night.

Enjoy the little things in life…like cool weather!

The card was part of a zoom stamp meeting challenge on the “Stamping Family” group I belong to. Confession on my part, I had to watch […]
A card that doubles as gift card holder? YES
Buying gifts during this time is a little more difficult than usual. And not knowing what someone needs during these strange times calls for a gift card. But why use a plain holder when you can easily make a unique and festive card that’s also a gift card holder?! #RondaWade demonstrated this gift holder idea […]
Simple Stamping…not my usual style
Simple stamping can be fun for everyone. Whether you’re brand new to papercrafting or you just want to stamp a greeting to add to a plate of cookies, we all need ideas for quick cards. I need to remind myself that sometimes “less is more.” Here’s several simple cards created by the Stampin’ Up! artists which […]
Fall (and tropical storm!) hit Texas with cooler temperatures!
It looks like my making fall cards is paying off…we are finally got a “cool” front, along with a tropical storm, not a hurricane-YEA. For those of you up north…this means early summer weather – LOL. For us in Texas, we are looking at the 60’s for several days! Yea!! Another fall card today to […]
