I typically receive my monthly Paper Pumpkin box a good 10-14 business days after the 10th of the month…sigh. So this weekend, as I’m waiting for March’s Paper Pumpkin box, I pulled out my February “Bouquet of Hope” paper pumpkin kit. I looked at the directions and example cards and headed out on my own […]

Paper Pumpkin, easy as pie
I’ve said many times how easy it is to create cards and projects using Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin kit. As I was cleaning up my craft room to get ready for my next project, I came across the Paper Pumpkin Layers of Gratitude kit from February 2015. It brought to mind many of the things […]
Ice Cream and sprinkles – what better way to celebrate a birthday?
Yesterday I shared 3 Birthday Bonanza triple-fold cards I made for my granddaughter and several nieces (see here). Today’s card is for my cousin’s wife. I cut a 5-1/2″ x 12″ piece of the ice cream cones/candles DSP from the retired Birthday Bonanza DSP. Score the DSP along the 12″ side at: 4-1/4″ (this will […]
Kid’s Birthday Bonanza Triple-fold cards
I learned another way to use Stampin’ Up! wonderful DSP, rather than hoard them. Instead of the standard cardstock card base, use your favorite DSP! All you need is a piece of 5-1/2″ x 12″ piece of your favorite DSP, a few scraps of matching cardstock colors and a stamp set. You can also use […]
More For the Love of Felt flower cards
I had a lot of fun designing my swap card using the retired For the Love of Felt kit. I still had lots of leftover pieces and card bases, so back to the creation process. I made three more cards with the other card bases. This first one I used the entire card base from […]
Swap thank you card from For the Love of Felt kit
As usual, I’m a little behind in playing with all my Stampin’ Up! goodies. In keeping with my 2021 resolutions, I pulled out my retired “For the Love of Felt” kit to create a swap card for one of my groups. The kit contains all the pieces I need to create 4 of several card […]
Oh dear, another dear pet loss card for FMS470 challenge
I’m sad that for two weeks in a row I’m posting my FMS card as a pet condolence card. I hope that this doesn’t become a common occurrence. One of my sister’s dear dog Lacy finally left this world for pet heaven. Lacy was always racing around and so excited to see me even up […]
Dragonflies in Flower & Field DSP gift card
I occasionally need a gift card holder card and I’m always looking for new ways to create them. I learned a new one from the “Creativate Winter 2021” online stamping retreat I attended. Very interesting card. It was part of a “Mystery Stamp” session. In the past, I’ve been successful in creating a card I […]
Paper Blooms on slimline card
I attended the “Creativate Winter 2021” online stamp retreat last weekend with a few of my favorite Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. This is their third one, and my second participation. It’s held all day Saturday on Facebook live which makes for a long, but very creative day! I come away with so many creative ideas and techniques […]
