I’m still creating cards for Thanksgiving and fall birthdays using my retired DSP. This wonderful fall plaid is from the Happy Haunting DSP. What? Yes, it’s from a Halloween paper set. If you turned the black dot side over you have entirely different theme with this fun plaid! That’s what I love about Stampin’ Up! double-sided […]

Swirly Scribbles for Fall
I’m trying to make myself create fall card instead of Christmas cards (I love Christmas!), so this weekend’s SGGWWC was a good template for that. I used fall colors, Soft Suede, Tangerine Twist (retired in-color), Early Expresso and Cajun Craze, the fall colors in the north, but definitely not here in southern Texas! We still have […]
Fall Suite Seasons-MOJO468
This week’s challenges on a number of the websites I follow have been awe-inspiring! I’ve made a number of cards for various challenges, all have been Christmas cards. But I needed some fall cards, and this week’s MOJO468 challenge seemed to shout “fall card” to me. I used Tangerine Tango for the card base with pieces from […]
Candy Cane Christmas card for last Friday’s SGGWWC
I’ve often talked about how I use templates for creating my cards. They give me a starting point for inspiration for my cards. Once I have a layout in mind, I can spend my time playing with my various DSP, embellishments and stamp sayings to come up with something I like. As I’ve said many times, sometime the card just falls into place […]
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 […]
WOW…it’s October? That means Designer Series Paper sale!
Oh boy, I’m doing my happy October dance! I absolutely love fall and it’s cooler temperature, but I love Stampin’ Up! designer series papers (DSP for short) with their beautiful colors and double-sided papers even more. It’s time to stock up on all the beautiful new Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper (DSP) papers since from October […]
Pyramid Pals for the Holidays!
I fell in love with the Pyramid Pals thinlits when they came out in the annual catalog, but they’ve been languishing on my craft table waiting for a spark of inspiration. I really wasn’t a fan of the animals it made (even though they are cute), but I just knew it would make some great gift packaging […]
Wait, one more Halloween project to share – Sweet Home
Did you get your Halloween orders in? All your “spooky” projects done? I’ve had so much fun making all my Halloween things this year, I just love the selections Stampin’ Up! gave us this year! Just a few more treat boxes and I’m ready to go for my office staff’s surprise Halloween boxes. And I’ve finished all my […]
