Yes, I said finally…read to the end and you’ll see why I titled my post this way! I decided to create another Valentines Day card with this week’s FMS271 sketch. This time I used the So in Love stamps and the So Detailed thinlit dies bundle to create a simple, elegant card. But as I looked […]
Freshly Made Sketches
Sealed with a Kiss for FMS271
I decided it was time to switch over to create a few Valentine’s Day cards before I continue on with birthday cards. The FMS271 sketch was perfect this Valentines Day card using the Falling in Love DSP. I looked through the papers and decided to use the hearts. I laid out my card, but somehow it just […]
A flagship birthday for FMS270
I’m having so much fun with all my new things from the Stampin’ Up!. Today’s card uses the new Cupcakes and Carousels paper stack from the Occasions catalog and my free stamp set “Any Occasion” from the Sale-a-bration catalog. As I said last week, I have lots of birthday cards to make for January and February for family […]
Best Fishes for your Birthday-FMS#269
Now that the craziness of the holidays are behind me, I finally got back into my craft room this past weekend and had fun creating. I wanted to break open my “By the Shore” DSP, since I haven’t used it yet, to create a few cards. I’m down to the wire to get my last minute card in […]
“Acorny” Woodland Fall – FMS258
Even though it’s almost mid October, here in south Texas we are still in the 80’s and 90’s. The weatherman keeps promising cooler temperatures, but we’ve only seen a few days in the 60’s in the morning so far. But I’m not complaining, when everyone else has snow, we’ll be in the 40-50’s which is […]
Greetings from Santa for FMS257
I loved last week’s FMS template and the card I made, so I was really excited when I saw this week’s template. I knew exactly what I wanted to use for this challenge – the new Detailed Santa thinlit die! I’ve been waiting for just the right template to create this card! This card came together […]
Holiday card for FMS256 challenge
I got a chance this past weekend to create a card for this past week’s FMS256 template challenge (due today, nothing like posting at the last minute!). It’s always fun (and sometimes a challenge) to use templates to create my cards. They give me a starting point to begin my creations. This week’s template was a very simple […]
FMS251-another card for some Spooky Fun
This is my second FMS251 card from the weekend. This one is a Halloween one using the new Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set (available starting September 1 in the new Holiday catalog!). I love these guys! This is my second card using this stamp set, my first one was the mummy (see it here if […]
FMS251 – Badges and Banners, a great stamp set
This week’s FMS251 was a great template for a number of card ideas I’ve been contemplating. So I ended up with 2 entries this week. First up, this one using the new Badges & Banners stamp set with the matching Best Badge punch (it comes in a bundle so you save 10%). I started out […]
