It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I posted my dad’s 90th birthday card. But here we are one year later. This was a fun card for me to make. I’ve seen lots of cards using the Large Letter framelits cutouts along with the new Sale-a-bration “Celebrate You” thinlits dies (free with $100 […]
Holiday Catalog
Every good wish during December needs a “Be Merry”
Back to traditional Christmas colors for my card today. I love the way the negative stamped greetings look on a card. And you don’t have to stamp it perfect for it to look fabulous, so that’s an added bonus. Especially when you are doing a stack of them all at once. The greetings that are […]
‘Tis the season, another snowflake
Well it’s definitely not snowing in south Texas, although we are finally getting cooler weather! I wanted create a card to remind me of Christmas and snow. I started out with my new Swirly Snowflakes thinlits dies to create a card. I tried die cutting silver foil paper, white, and even the Night of Navy […]
Eastern Palace, meet elegant Christmas card
I decided to continue my non-traditional colors for Christmas and Holiday cards after sharing yesterday’s card, shown here. I’ve had the Eastern Palace DSP for a while now and keep taking it out, looking through it and then setting it aside for another day. Well this weekend was “the other day”. This card uses another […]
Cheers to FMS#309 challenge
I’ve been working on Christmas cards and showing the versatility of the new stamps sets, but today’s card was a last minute deviation of my traditional Christmas colors cards to enter this week’s Freshly Made Sketches #309 challenge. It just spoke to me and I loved how my first non-traditional colors Christmas card turned out […]
Peace on Earth, to everyone today
Yesterday I shared my card I made using the “Deck the Halls” stamp from the new Carols of Christmas stamp set. Today I’m sharing the card I made using the other large stamp, “Peace on Earth.” This greeting seems an appropriate one for the past month of natural (and manmade) disasters that have happened around the […]
Deck the Halls…Carols of Christmas to come!
It was a whirlwind week for us. My dear hubby and I tend to spend a lot of time at home immersed in our hobbies. His is reading research articles for the two journals he manages…yes, that’s a hobby for him since he loves it! Mine is paper crafting, of course! It’s been a while […]
Babies, babies and quilts for babies!
Many years ago (I won’t admit how long ago) I made a baby quilt for each of my new nieces and nephews when they were born. I know some of them still have them and keep them safely tucked away as a sweet memory of growing up. Sad to say, the grand nieces and nephews […]
A Lone Star Quilted Christmas
Another Lone Star quilt pattern, but this time as the focus of the card. Isn’t it gorgeous?! Too much work you say? Not so! This is one of the patterns from the Quilted Christmas DSP. There are 4 of these on one sheet so I cut them into 4 individual squares. And then the magic […]
