Yes, I’m willing to admit it, I’m obsessed with all of the Memories & More card packs that Stampin’ Up! has created over the last several years. It’s so much fun, and easy to create cards with them. Although they are highlighted as journaling cards for photo albums, I never quite get around to using […]

Memories & More with Dandy Garden card pack
I’ve talked about using the Memories & More card packs many times. You can create lots of quick cards with them and using either the matching Memories & More cards and envelopes or a package of note cards & envelopes. I’ve shared a number of my Dandy Garden cards earlier this year using the 4″ […]
Garden of daisies for spring and Easter
Yesterday I shared my Timeless Tulips Easter cards. Another spring flower my mom had in her garden was Daisies. So out came my Daisy Lane stamp set and the Daisy and Medium Daisy punches to create more spring and Easter cards (I have a lot of family around the country that I want to send […]
Tulips for Easter
When I was growing up my mom, aunt and grandmother all had tulips in their spring gardens. We knew it was finally spring with mostly warmer weather (although growing up in Omaha we were known to get snow even in May!) when the tulips started blooming. When I realized Easter was just around the corner, […]
Waiting for my March Paper Pumpkin box
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
