Today is the 11th of the month. That means time to sign up for the October “Home for the Holidays” Paper Pumpkin kit. Makes me feel warm, cozy and ready to start planning my Christmas projects. Even though it’s still hot here, I’ll be chilling inside while making my holiday projects. The October and November […]
Christmas cards
Another sketch, another Christmas card
I had a great time on Saturday – World Card Making Day (#wcmd2021) with a friend. We made Christmas & holiday cards all the while catching up with each other’s lives. It was fun, relaxing and productive. She left with 8 sets of cards (4 each) so that’s 32 cards!! Not bad for an afternoon […]
Today is World Card Making Day!
What are you doing for World Card Making Day? I have several friends coming over to make some cards! Can’t wait for them to get here this afternoon. I have lots of fun cards planned, especially a head start on Christmas cards. Have a great day today, stamping and making cards! Meanwhile, don’t forget to […]
What can you do with Textures & Frames?
Initially, I wasn’t sure what I do with the stamp set, just that I wanted it to add accents to my cards. But I was amazed at the various cards I was able to create with the Textures & Frames stamp set. My cards came together quickly once I decided which ink colors to use […]
Christmas “Paws” card
I’m starting my Christmas cards early this year! The last few years I’ve had great intentions, but somehow December rolls around and I haven’t started making them! Since we still aren’t traveling I don’t have much to do other than make cards! LOL. I have over 20 cards designed so far. Maybe it’s time to […]
Peaceful Prints & FMS502
I’m jumping on today to share another quick Christmas card I created this weekend with the Sale-A-Bration Peaceful Prints DSP. I used the FMS502 sketch as a guide for my layout. My card came together quickly (like it usually does when I use a sketch as inspiration). I used a Cherry Cobbler cardbase and dry […]
Peaceful Prints cards from one sheet wonder
My last couple of posts shared the cards I made with the angle card sketch. Today’s cards were made with a 12×12 one-sheet wonder (OSW) template that Lisa Curcio shared last year. I loved the simplicity of her template and decided to make 10 cards with the Sale-A-Bration Peaceful Prints DSP! What I liked best […]
Need an angle for your next card?
I’ve mentioned many times how card sketches and templates make my creative job much easier. Today’s sketch is from Stampin’ Up! and one of the easiest ones that I’ve come across lately. And it has an added bonus – it allows me to use my smaller pieces of Designer Series Papers! WooHoo! I used the […]
Christmas in April? Expanding the Tag Buffet Project kit
Last year I bought the Tag Buffet Project kit for my Christmas gift tags and one of my classes. Alas, COVID prevented me from holding the class and seeing family so no need for my tags (I ordered all my gifts online, probably like so many of you). But, I did send Christmas cards as […]
