This past weekend I switched gears to create Valentines Day cards. My PCC228 card post yesterday, see it here, inspired today’s card. But this card uses a banner instead in the lower corner created by one of the So Detailed thinlit dies. I played around with several layout options and here’s my final version: Very simple card, but I think […]

Hugs & Kisses for PCC227
Today’s Valentines Day card uses the PCC227 challenge template and the So Detailed heart tag thinlit die as the main focus. I love Stampin’ Up!’s new Sending Love DSP paper pack! The tiny red hearts scattered across the white background was perfect as the background paper. The traditional red and white Valentines Day colors are always my favorite colors when creating “love” cards. I […]
Finally, A day to celebrate with FMS271
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 […]
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 […]
Balloon Adventures, shaking it up for you
This is my second post for the day, see my earlier post about my new “Bee” Rewards program here. This past week I made a lot of birthday cards and almost all used the Balloon Adventure stamp set – I love this set! Today’s card uses it again, but this time I also used the […]
Cupcakes and carousels, but where are they?
As you know, I tend to like bright colors better, so wanted to challenge myself with something else for my next birthday card creation. I pulled out my more subtle Cupcakes & Carousels paper stack to find a paper for my next card and was surprised to see no cupcakes and only one carousel in the whole group. […]
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 […]
Party with Balloon Adventures – SGGW-wc
I’m having another great weekend creating birthday cards in my craft room (even better that it’s a long, holiday weekend!). Continuing on my mission to create lots of birthday cards, I used Connie Stewart’s Facebook SGGW weekend challenge to create 2 cards. The first one is a simpler version with just paper and stamping, although I did […]
Festive Balloon Adventures for MOJO479
Finally, my box of new Stampin’ Up! goodies arrived this week. I was late in ordering since December was a family month with little time to do anything else. No crafting, no creating new projects, no orders for the new stamps, papers and accessories (I did have severe withdrawals-LOL, but family is more important!). So this week I’ve […]
