I needed a quick, cheery card on a dreary, but warm Sunday afternoon. The FMS424 challenge template was the perfect solution. Using my “Under My Umbrella” stamp set, the Umbrella Builder punch and the matching “Pleased as Punch” DSP made it easy. I started with a Daffodil card base, added a Whisper White layer die […]

FMS #422 – Revisit of Sprinkled with Love
I’m back into my past Paper Pumpkin kits again. I do this every January and February as I clean out my craft room and try to use the supplies I have on hand. I saw the FMS422 sketch and decided to make a card for it. I made a blue version for the guys and […]
Birthday Wit and Balloons
Oh my…I totally forgot to post this set of cards I made using the “Picture Perfect” DSP until I went to mail out birthday cards last week. OOPS! This card was based on the FMS329 template. So switching gears from Christmas cards to birthday cards this week, I’m sharing all the cards I made with […]
Oh my, it’s fall already? How about a card to celebrate?
Well, yes and no. September is traditionally the beginning of fall, but not in Texas with our temperatures still in the high 80’s. And we still have to get through hurricane season…September is usually the most active month for Texas bound hurricanes. Fingers crossed that we escape them this year. I decided to pull out […]
Thinking of you with Blissful Blooms
I’m still working on alternative ideas to this month’s Blissful Blooms Paper Pumpkin kit. Today’s card uses the FMS348 sketch from several weeks ago for the layout. I started with the below card base and cut it the front off (be sure to save the back for another card idea). Then I cut the card […]
Blissful Blooms for today
Today I made the August Paper Pumpkin cards exactly how the instructions said to do it. From start to finish, including punching out all the green and clear velum leaves, it only took me 15 minutes to make the two cards! And if you did them all at once in an assembly line fashion, it […]
FMS 351, meet August Paper Pumpkin
Oh, so many craft supplies, so little time. Is that one of common things you think to yourself? Me, too! I haven’t been taking advantages of my Paper Pumpkin kits, but I fell in to love with this August’s Paper Pumpkin kit. It’s so simple to make the 10 cards; aren’t they simply gorgeous?! So I decided […]
A little birdie told me…
This was the original card layout I had in mind last week hoping that I could adapt it to the upcoming FMS350 sketch. I posted my final FMS350 here, but today I wanted to share the original card I designed. I used the earlier FMS347 sketch (I didn’t get to post a card for that […]
Ah, FMS350 didn’t disappoint me!
I was hoping that this week’s FMS sketch would fit the card idea floating in my head and it did! I was out of town until Sunday, so I didn’t have a lot of time to put my card together in time for the challenge. I made another Animal Expedition card, this time with the […]
