I’m loving the Tropical Escape suite of products, have you figured that one out yet?! Today’s cards are a CASE from Amy O’Neill’s FMS348 sketch card from several weeks ago. I loved her idea using the Tropical thinlits dies to create her unique card. I kept coming back to it again and again and finally […]
Freshly Made Sketches
Garden impressions of the FMS349
During last month’s designer series paper sale, I bought several DSP sets the I was on the fence about adding to my abundant paper stash. But a bargain is a bargain, especially in crafting supplies, right fellow paper crafters?! Garden Impressions was one of them, but now that I’m looking at all the prints, they […]
Tropical escape for FMS349
Oh how I wanted to escape to a tropical destination this past weekend, but it just wasn’t in the “cards.” So instead, I spent the weekend making cards using last week’s FMS349 sketch. Yesterday’s card, see it here, was the one I posted for the challenge, but today’s card was my second choice. I’ve missed […]
It’s a jungle out there-FMS349
Have you seen the new Animal Outing suite in the Stampin’ Up! annual catalog? I thought it was really fun suite, but wasn’t sure if I use the stamp set and thinlits very often. But I did get the Animal Expedition designer series papers during the DSP sale last month. And, oh I am having […]
Birthday Wit for FMS330
Sometimes you just have to make funny cards for those special people, you know the one. I chose the Birthday Wit stamp set and the Picture Perfect birthday DSP to go along with it. So sit back and follow along this week as I show you how to use this stamp set and DSP to […]
Sweet Soirée flowers galore
Yesterday’s card (see it here) used the Sweet Soirée DSP, but one of the more graphic patterns. Today’s card uses the bold, large flower pattern with a Rich Razzleberry background. I based my overall design on the FMS328 challenge and a combination of several other cards I’ve seen using this paper. I started out with […]
Hip, Hip, Hooray…it’s another birthday card for FMS328
As I said in my post last Friday (see it here), I created this card using the FMS328 template. This time my card doesn’t use a square, but this fun birthday hat from the Celebrate You stamp set that I forgot I had. The paper is part of the Sweet Soirée DSP which has a lot […]
Bubbles and Fizz Birthday for FMS328
Another week, another sketch! Back to my bright color schemes this week. I pulled out the Bubbles & Fizz DSP, FREE from Stampin’ UP!’s Sale-a-bration catalog. I tried not to over think this card. I had it cut and put together in less than 20 minutes, start to finish! Isn’t it great when that happens??!! […]
FMS327-For you, one more Daisy
Yes, another Daisy card. Now that I’ve finally gotten around to using this Daisy punch, I’ve made a lot, yes a lot of daisies! So I have to find ways to use them all! I’ve had this pattern from Delightful Daisy DSP sitting on my craft week for several weeks just waiting for the perfect […]
